Quote: Originally posted by vespa 494 on 05/11/2014I dont want a big engine as 99% of the time iam not towing and when i do its a light van [elddis xplore 995kg miro] if i was sure the 92hp auto would tow it i think i,d buy one.

I asked in your other post what the fully loaded weight of your van is, this info is vital in stopping you from buying a car that is not up to the job of towing your van. No use saying it's a light van at 995kg unless you plan to put nothing in it, that would include essential items such as battery, water and waste barrels etc. Surprised no-one else has picked up on this

The Berlingo will tow max 1300kg so legal for max weight of that caravan albeit with not much spare power.

Whilst not 100% accurate use something like whattowcar.com to check out your proposed combination and see what it says.

The MIRO of the van is not particularly relevant but the max weight is

Some autos have lower tow weights (and nose weights) than their manual equivalents also

92bhp on an auto box on a reasonably sized car is going to be a slow tow up any hills I would imagine?
