Hi
I'm looking at getting our first van a 16 footer. I have a Renault Koleos 2.5 auto. Any thoughts on its ability to do the tugging are very welcome-thank you

Check the vehicle handbook for tow weight and ball weight.
They vary from 1350Kg to 2000Kg tow eight with a 200Kg ball weight.
Then check the ATM of the van.
In most case the ATM =TARE plus a payload of 300 or 400Kg.
Note: Tare has little relevance re tow weight.

Thanks for the prompt response. Anybody got any thoughts or experiences on the Koleos' performance when tugging? I'm really interested in whether it will do the job than economies , I guess you can't pull a van and save money anyway:)
