I just joined the forum and I am using an Audi A3 e-tron (plug-in hybrid) to tow a T@G Sofitel. I have only towed it once, but now I'm getting ready to do a multi-day trip all the way from AZ to MT and across to ND then down in to Denver CO. We will see what type of mileage I get. I hope I get above 20 as I normally get 35 on the highway at 80mph and only have a 10gal tank.
I think that would be our target vehicle to replace our Mazda5 if we had to. Towing 1598 pounds might be pushing it by US standards (which are VERY ultra-conservative, compared to what similar vehicles are rated to town in Europe) but you could probably do it if you keep the speed down. My goal is a camper under half of this weight, so I'm pretty sure a V would handle it just fine.Ron Dickey wrote:any one tried the Prius V???
