Tow car

[BenD]

I need a new tow car. I have 1800 to spend. It needs to be able to tow 2000kgs. It also needs to be reliable and resonable to tax not like 500 a year. It doesn't need to be fast as I only drive 8 miles a day to work. Any ideas

Hopefully this link works... Should be a list with minimum towing weight of 2000kg and sorted by oldest first.

This is the best tow car I've ever had. I was in your situation few months ago.

And is that **** to drive, that is really cool.

I've had a couple of Honda CRV's .. An old shape 05 one and now a later shape 07 one. No complaints on the towing front. Not sure how much CRV you get for £1800 tbh.

Double cab pickup. Taxed as a commercial so cheap.  Lots of older ones in your budget, most will easily tow 2T and more.

It's bottom end of the market so choose carefully.

This is easy. Look no further:

Octavia was my first thought, but 1800kg braked limit.

How about this and you can sleep in it at the circuit too.

i had looked into the oktavia. but like russ said the limit is lower than ideally what i need.

i did also think about a van but with my limited budget its a minefield

the older shape crv is within budget but all of the ones ive seen appear to suffer from chassis corrosion

Must admit I never looked too closely at the underside of mine.. but it passed MOTs.
