Can anyone help, according to some web sites there are several caravans we can tow with a mondeo titanium estate tdci 2.0. However when I work out the 85% weight ratio it comes out at 1200kg. The kerb weight is 1575 and the instructions stated take 10% off for the weight of the passengers etc. Do I also need to take off any equipment, chairs etc as well?
Thanks for any help with this.

I can help with this one i drive a 2011 Mondeo Titanium X hatch, the true kerbweigh of your car is based on car with  90% fuel and 75KG for driver. On a weigh bridge my car comes in at 1630kg add the 75kg for the driver this makes 1705kg, your estate weighs 20kgs more than the hatchback, I tow a 1500kg caravan with mine and it pulls with no problems and is a very stable outfit, the kerbweight you have quoted is the general kerbweight of a 2ltr mondeo dont forget the higher the spec the heavier the car is.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the advice, we were looking at a 1295 kg caravan, sounds like the car will be able to pull it.
