Im after some advice on what route to go down for a tow car for my Bmw e36 drift car!
Its going to be my daily driver aswell so ideally want something that dose a half decent MPG and isn't to agricultural!
Trailer im looking at weighs around 400-500Kgs and the bmws factory weight is around 1400kg, add in some tools and tyres and its over the 2t mark of things like the x-trail, freelander, 5 series etc

any recommendations?

Cheers for the advice 200Plus Club, ive heard this before and never really understood how it works for example a defender can tow 3500kg but yet has a kerb weight of around 1900kg, im guessing because the trailers are twin axel it increases their stability or something so then the rule dosent apply as much as say, A focus pulling a single axle caravan?
