Your welcome Rexton and enjoy your Sorento, when you get it.

Hi Rexton

Take it you will be changing your user ID ?

Ours is a Sorento Titan 2.5 manual we tow 1600kg and get approx 25 - 30mpg towing.

Rexton,

Mines a 2005 XS Manual & towing single axle 1500kg van = 25ish expect 20ish with an auto

You will certainly miss the boot space in your old car, not to mention the lack of grunt in the new one.

I'm on my 3rd Ssangyong now and if they are still around next year I will definitely have another.

We have the same as 664DaveS - Sorento and a Pageant Burgundy.  Our Sorento is an auto - second auto we have had (previously a Honda CRV with a lighter Lunar Solar)

The Sorento is a brilliant towcar - and wouldn't have anything other than an auto.  Its so simple manouevring. No clutch and throttle combi - just hold her on the brake, and she creeps...   Mind you, we also have a mover on the van (couldn't place her on our drive otherwise) - now thats the dogs.... wouldn't be without it...

We tend to achieve 30ish MPG solo, and don't lose too much when towing.  At 1400kg all-up, the Sorento doesn't know the van is on the back.
