Car that can tow 2500kg?

[Slow]

Is there any CAR that can tow 2500kgs?

I know loads of 4x4s do it happily, but friends looking for a car to sometimes tow a car trailer.

Couldn't come up with anything for him, best I could find was a 5 series estate at 2000kg.

MX5. Even the 1.6 would manage that!

KIA Sorento? Not really a car though.

Funnily enough he already has a mx5 1.6, I'll let him know!

Falcon XR8 is rated at 2300kg.

R-class Merc, so sort of a car, 2100kg.

Fairly hateful thing though.

I would be amazed if anything 'normal' could tow 2500kg.

E38 740 is 2200 I think - I'm not sure what car is more than that

The problem with large towing weights is not getting it moving, but stopping it. Hence why a large engine is nowhere near as important as strong, stable braking - which is course favours big cars with a 4wd drivetrain for maximum engine braking

Go onto one of the caravan sites, you can do a search by weight. Remember to include the weight of the trailer in your calculations.
