2.0 Multidrive S CVT and towing

Recommended Posts

I have a 2010 RAV 2.0 petrol with CVT transmission and wondered if anyone had any experience of towing a caravan with the same model.

The handbook states 1500kg braked trailer capacity but caravan websites (and Honest John) seem to think that it is not advisable to tow a heavy(ish) caravan with this model.

The petrol auto suits my daily needs and I was only thinking of a caravan if I didn't need to change the car, any experiences would be welcome.

I am an ex caravanner myself. I would think If you get a caravan that is less than 1500kg braked weight, it shouldn't be a problem. Most modern 14 to 16ft caravans should come in at about 1000kg or less. So would be well under the RAV's towing limit.

Thanks Peter3696, I think that a 14 ft would be the largest I would want. Towbar first, and if there is any money left, look for a caravan!
