scottish lurcher 185 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 What are the tow weights of these vans ?would I be able to tow a small caravan lads ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Giro 2,648 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Google them bud. The 1.3 was ok, lost power on hills if you never got revs up. Don't know if I'd fancy towing a weight in one of them .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rowan 308 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 There is a renualt kangoo 4x4 van , never had one myself though , I believe they where made for the forestry commission mainly . If not a berlingo , the best van by far I've ever had and I've had some cr*p in the past . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottish lurcher 185 Posted November 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Yeah quite like those belingos my self to be honest but was unsure of reliabilityof them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
simononeill93 69 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 There's plenty of cheap Suzuki jimnys on preloved, well in your budget. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RossM 7,979 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 The partner is effectively a berlingo, economical as and can't complain so far.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dytkos 17,536 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Since the moorland commoners banned following hounds cross country in 4x 4s I don't need an offroader really, apart from farm tracks etc so I'm going for a van when the Jimmy dies , prob won't be long with my driving lol need a side loading door and could get my MTB in as well. Hate French motors and hate diesels, am I a lost cause Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackdog92 2,047 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 What are the tow weights of these vans ?would I be able to tow a small caravan lads ? Its 750kg without a trailer license and anything after that depending on the vehicle once you get a license. But i would say you will be fine with a small caravan on the back so long as your van can pull it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackdog92 2,047 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ive got the VW caddy 1.9 and its a good lal van great on fuel and can get a fair bit in the back i have space in the back for dogs and a small kitchen set up for when im away from home. The tax is the pain ive just taxed it and its £225 for the year a mate of mine has a audi and it only costs him £30 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chicken george 38 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Why not get a 4x4 estate car as much load space as the little vans mentioned ive had a volvo audi ant the skoda rambler all good motors and you can buy them sensible money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOMO 24,860 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Skoda,,do a van,,car thing,,,you know the ones with seats and windows in back,,but it's still a van type,,and it's 4x4,,, I think it's called a yeti,,,I might be wrong though... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
treecreeper 1,136 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Yea yeti is 4x4 quite good off-road. There's a few 4x4 estates about all depends how much off roading you need. Edited November 11, 2015 by treecreeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottish lurcher 185 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Right I have been looking at vans but can't get anything with correct tow weight, so decide to buy 4x4 either landrover discovery td5 or another l200 . but heard bad things about disco any one owned one ?

smiles40 24 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Had a kangoo 4x4,brilliant vehicle but mpg was crippling,got berlingo review van and it has been fantastic but next time will get the berlingo car or an estate so I can take rubbish to the tip without the hassle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
