In which case you would choose a model that isn't limited to 1500 kg then wouldn't you! What a stupid, pointless post. What exactly was your point?

My X Trail is limited to 1350 kg, being an old style auto, so I would choose a new one if I wanted to tow something bigger. Sheeesh.

Errrr so why didn't your post say that? It was talking about a car with a 1500 kg max tow, not a 2000 kg max tow.

CRVs are pretty stable tow cars, I would load the van lightly and put heavy stuff in the boot of the CRV such as awnings and chairs and 85% would be easily obtainable.

Heavens Ali, you make my occasionally-tetchy OH look placid  

We decided against the CRV because it came out as a 90-something % match with our 1500kg caravan using the CC outfit match service, and the Santa Fe gave us a better match and more flexibility.  Yes, with the car boot fully laden, we could balance the two weights out, but we don't always take the big awning, plus I liked the idea of not constantly having to think about what should fit where.
