Sorry, not towing related.
We have now had our Hyundai Tucson Ultimate 4x4 Plug in Hybrid for a week, so certainly not a long term review, but I have never driven or owned a car that comes close to it. My/our first venture into Hyundai, and the hype is certainly well founded.
The ride, comfort, spec and road presence is streaks ahead of our VW Tiguan it replaced, and with 263BHP, it is lively to say the least. I have done just over 200 miles now; and its telling me 84mpg accumulative consumption, but I do keep the battery topped up, so there is the cost of electricity to factor in, but it is still around a quarter of the price of petrol per mile.
It is also my first foray into driving an EV, it will do around 35 miles on battery before the engine is needed, although during cold weather the engine will kick in, for about 8/10 minutes, to warm the car up. What a lovely experience. All said and done, it will never replace my Pick Up truck, Ford Ranger, for versatility, but as a family/best car, it is simply amazing.

Glad you enjoying your car, I knew you would loads of people are quite negative about the range, peoples ability to charge a car ect ect.
A guy called Francais posted on here back in 2016 about the model 3 tesla Being a great electric towcar, The tirade of criticism he received was unreal, I wander how many of them posters are now driving electric of some form.
