llo2006 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hi guys I collect my brand new edge sport in bronze fire on Saturday, can't wait to get it. I've just got rid of my Audi A6 for this as I wasn't impressed with it when towing my caravan. I have a single axle abbey vogue2 530 with a MTPLW of 1465kg. Do any of you guys tow caravans and if so what weight, also how do you find it tows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepeter Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hi , I have a 2014 sterling quartz mtpl 1530, my edge titanium automatic tows really well, have found that if you come to a sharp bend then hit a slight incline the gearbox takes its time changing down to a lower gear, but nothing to drastic to worry about, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilRS Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I towed mine (1300 kg ish) on Sunday and found it very stable. As Bluepeter says- the gearbox sounded like it was working quite hard on a steep ish hill- sounded like it went in first, but it did get up the hill! My last car was an elderly 2.7 Range Rover sport which felt slower than the Edge when not towing- but felt more effortless when towing. If think the edge will be a good towing car- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llo2006 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm hoping the manual will make a good tow car, thank you for all your comments appreciate it. Can't wait to collect the car on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepeter Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Feels very stable at most speeds, put it on cruise control at 60mph and never missed a beat, would think the manual gearbox would be just as good to tow with, good luck anyways.
