The Kuga is on my short list along with the VW Tiguan and Freelander 2. I currently tow with a mondeo TDCi ST155 which although excellent comes in at 105% on the percentage rating. Obviously 85% is thought to be the ideal but not set in stone.
The Mondeo has plenty of power but I am a little concerned about tail and dog wagging?
The freelander option worries me on reliability/fuel consumption/cost
The VW Tig is a little short on kerb appeal
So the Kuga, its only 45kg heavier than my mondeo so comes in at 99% which is obviously not a massive difference on paper.
I love the styling and massive spec available on the kuga but dont want to find myself struggling on the towing side.
One of the problems with the mondeo is the low tow ball height which would be resolved no doubt on the kuga. (can anyone tell me what height their kuga ball come out at?)
My 'van is a 2009 Abbey Spectrum single axle miro 1345 kg, mtplm 1550kg
I need some positive comments on the kuga as I dont want to really spend all my time in the land rover service reception
