XC70 D5 Awd Auto & Adria Adora Thames
Last van we are purchasing to send us into retirement...The Volvo isn't being changed either. Will run it til' the wheels are square.
Adria van is 8ft wide and 1800kg, no ATC but towing is a dream with the longer draw bar. Last edited by 37 RUBY; Aug 13th, 2020 at 11:48. |

Our 2018 V90 Momentum D4 and 2018 Sprite Quattro EB. You usually see an SUV or 4x4 pulling a twin axle but the Sprite twins are very light for their size, ours has an MTPLM of only 1624kgs putting it as an 87% weight match against the V90 kerb/unladen weight. My only gripe is the rear suspension on the V90 is quite soft. The towbar is a Thule swan neck and PF Jones dedicated wiring harness. It's a lovely tow car.

The only thing I've towed with the XC90 is our 1994 Lunar Planet Saturn caravan which it manages with ease. I've got an A frame which I used with my previous daily driver (2008 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso). I've towed a few cars with it including my own BMW E36 when I went to collect it from Southport. No pictures, unfortunately.

My Outfit
Here is my new Coachman Laser 575 Xtra and my XC60 SE Lux Nav D5 AWD.
Very happy on how XC60 copes when towing, very composed.

Most Plod seem to not understand or turn a blind eye to this but I have heard of DVSA pulling vehicles and issue prohibition notices at motorway services etc. An E36 will likely be double the un-braked limit. There is an exception when it is being used to recover a broken down vehicle to a place of safety (but not a spares/repairs purchase to your home...) The plus side to this would be if you are towing a Mini with an A-frame, it doesn't need tax, MOT or insurance as in that configuration it is not a motor vehicle...
