Slightly heavy at 93%.

When did you pass your driving test though?

We towed our Lunar Lexon (1450 max) with a Passat saloon, 2.0 litre tdi. It was a 56 plate, 170 bhp I think. V5 said the towing capacity was 1800 but as far as I remember the VIN plate said 2190 gross car weight and 3750 (I think) gross train weight. To be honest, I doubt the caravan was ever loaded to the max, however, it towed really well, and the fuel economy was excellent, we used to get 42 mpg towing.
