Hi All,
I have a SSV wagon manual with the max allowable tow bar being 1600kg. Thinking about buying a caravan but due to the braked limit of 1600kg in a manual was wondering if anyone else out there has towed something of a substancial weight with a manual and how did the clutch and gearbox hold up. If I get one I will be pushing the weight of the van and storage right to the limit.
If anyone could share their experiences good or bad that would be great.
Would I need some sought of tranny cooler for the box ???
I know I should have a auto but the missus refuses to drive a auto only a manual.
