Hi, ive made a mistake with the towing wheights the vans max is 1300kg not 1500 and max payload is 249, does this make any difference to the towing ratio with this vheicle thanks

We have had a 1.8 petrol and a td4 2L, our head gasket on the 1.8 ( common problem) as a tow car it wasn't the best, it was a good match for our caravan we had at the time 83%, the td4 however was fantastic as a tow car.
We may of just got a bad 1.8 though, It wasn't bouncy though neither of our freelanders were bouncy rides,the 1.8 it was very stable and on the straights flat roads it was a pleasure, just didnt like hills very much, it got up them but it definitely struggled more than the td4 we later bought 2004.
If you could later on change to a td4 with the BMW engine , you'd have a really good tow car for your van.
