What can 850 with self leveling suspension tow? any ideas, and what kind of weight (pay load) will they take in the boot.
Anyone got one with rear seat conversion and know max weight of occupants, that might give me an idea to how much these can take.
Thanks in advance DAn

with particular reference to towing weights ...


As for towing caravans, existing general guidance recommends that the laden weight of the caravan does not exceed 85% of the unladen weight of the car. In the majority of cases, caravans and small trailers towed by cars should be within the new category B threshold.

500kg unbraked, 1600kg braked - subject to local regulations. gross and front and rear axle weights are on the plate near the battery.
