We Have a 2009 Toyota Avensis Tourer TR 2.0 Diesel, kerbside weight 1,520kg, towing weight 1,600kg.

                                                                                                                      We tow both our caravans no problem, one  a Bailey GT60 520-4, MTPLM 1,326kg and the other is a Pageant Burgundy 1,400kg. We also get 33/35 mpg towing.

So I see no problems in towing with your 2.2 Diesel, whats the Kerbside weight compared to our Tourer ?.

2003 too 2008 have a 1300kg tow limit.
2009 on have higher tow limits.
I have had 1 & towed a 1260kg van. they tow very well. Just don't go over the 75kg nose weight. 30+ mpg towing without trying.

Hi,

We tow a 1550kg Eccles Moonstone with a  Avensis 2.2D4D Tourer 2010 model and don't have any problems. We are very pleased with it.

I had a 2007 2.2D4D T3 Tourer and it was a dreadful tug !
Solo the car was fine with all the family in, great car, but hook the van up and it was a totally different beast.
It used to frighten me, it was all over the place and I was towing below the recommended 1300kg limit and the loading was correct too.
Making the nose weight slightly heavy was the only way to make it anyway feel like stable.
Try and avoid one if you can !
