Hi is anyone towing with a Mondeo Estate petrol, we are traveling to Devon from Peterborough in a few weeks and hubby is a bit worried.  Our van is 1000 fully laden and the Mondeo is a durotech there are two types of this engine and ours has more horses then the other!  We did travel from Peterborough to Cromer and there is a few hills on the way, he had to change gear a few times and we got 30mpg.  Does anyone think we should stay off the motorways on the way down to devon and stay on the B roads, hubby says a couple of the motorways have big long hills and hubby is a bit worried.

Thanks

Hi

We have a 1.8 Vectra estate & tow a FC 1000kg, plus 2 kids dog and the kitchen sink in the back. Some hills can be slow if you haven't been able to get speed up a bit prior to the hill. But we managed Devon at Easter without any problems usin the M5.
