the issue with a captur is its towball limit which is only 60kgs, I doubt you would find a caravan with a nose weight that low, ok so your going to be changing the car but if going for a similar size then I suggest you carefully check out the nose weight issue of both the car and the trailer as this may be exceeded

can I also point out that after taking a close look depending on which model of caravan you actually have and the exact model of your car according to the vin plate, you have a high possibility of already exceeding the legal towing weights for your car, if you post all the info from that on here we can advise more fully

I wouldn't have another one - great engines but too many rattles and squeeks inside for me.
Anyone using a small(ish) petrol turbo?
The latest Suzuki 1.4t is supposed to be a great engine. Good value cars too and being Japanese no doubt very reliable.

I tow a largish 4 berth Lunar (MTPLM 1310Kg) with my Citroen C4 Grand Picasso with the 1.2L 3cyl turbo petrol engine and it's fine. Been to Wales, Devon, and Lake District, among many other places, done around 3000 miles over last 18 months, so been up a few decent hills and no problems, also done 350 mile long trips without any strain. Cruises in 6th gear much of the time, returns 28-31mpg, enough 'go' to overtake lorries comfortably and pull out into moving traffic, happy to cruise at 60mph (it would do a lot more!!! - I use the speed limiter/cruise control to stop it creeping up too high as it's VERY easy to find yourself going much faster than is wise!).
Engine is common to many PSA Group cars (Citroen, Peugeot, Vauxhall) with both manual & auto gearbox, so almost certainly a model to suit your needs. Comes in a couple of power outputs, mine's the 130hp with manual gearbox. Your Gobur is much lighter than my van, and much lower profile (less wind resistance), the power/torque from this engine would be perfectly capable of towing it with ease.
