(96-00) 2.0 petrol - Towing a Caravan - pda
Does anyone have any experience of towing a caravan with a Mk11 Mondeo 2.0 Petrol Hatchback?
Is it man enough for the job and what was the fuel consumption like?
Help and advice gratefully received!
Pat

They're competent enough provided you stay within the guidelines of the Towing Code, which recommends that the gross weight of the caravan is no more than 85% of the kerbweight of the car. Expect towing consumption around 20mpg.

I used to tow a little 2 berth 13 cwt caravan with my old 1.8 Mk1 Mondeo Lx manual and it used to do 28mpg average (less against the wind and more with the wind)
