My first though would be, how do you tow with a drum??

By seriously, who is the maker of the bongo (ive not heard of it before) so i can have a search for it, and enlighten myself at the same time!

Ah-ha, made by mazda/ford, towing it can take 2800Kgs, but the car itself is only 2325, so watch what you tow if you passed your test after 97, it only gives you an allowance of 1175kgs (not alot of caravan)

Or an owners group here

Hope thats a bit more help

my friend has a bongo which she is selling, she had always wanted one, but they are moving to france.  Its handy to go off weekends in etc/off to the beach etc.  Appearance wise its very "A TEAM", we take the mick out of her cos its black and has sliding doors!

Its very tall and thin, she said when she drives around a corner you have the feeling its going to tip over (but of course its not!)

I wouldnt have thought it would make a good towcar....check it out 1st.

not a clue but the weights look good

Length 4.60 Mtrs
Height 2.10 Mtrs
Width 1.70 Mtrs
Weight 2325 Kg,s
Towing 2800 Kg,s

Nicki,

My brother bought one recently by all accounts it tows very well. I love the concept of this vehicle and am very tempted to do the same.  Go for it!

Hi Nicki,it would be worth your while looking at the bongo owners club web site, there is quite a lot of information on towing and much more.www.bongofury.co.uk
