Towing

Post by dammo666 »

Hi,
has anyone had any experience with towing with a 1.6 CT. I would like to use my little erde trailer and my trailer tent(400 KG gross) again but wondered if the CT could handle it, MPG etc.
any comments welcome,

many thanks

Just dragged my 125 Honda scooter on a fairly heavy trailer down to Cornwall and back. It was OK but didn't like hills, down to 20mph on a couple! My van is a 78ps 1.9 DG auto on lpg.

just dont force the drivetrain

20/ 10mph no problem.

i always make sue that if i push the pedal more it will accelerate. if it dosent its working too hard!

rather take longer the destroy something or overheat!
