Towing vehicle

Bought a Ford Kuga 2l diesel manual 4wd in 2011. I believe this is called
the Escape in US.

Have now towed asw27 (and a nimbus 4dt) a total of 8,000 miles since then
on fields, minor roads, motoways, and autobahns, in good and bad weather,
wet, dry, snow, and ice. Typically Ford (bits fall off) but otherwise I
can't fault it.

My only tip is to make sure the hitch load is heavy ~ 60kgs ~ then it will
go up to 80mph without snaking. This may also have something to do with the
hitch being very close to the rear axle.

If you're in the mood to be gobsmacked, take a gander at this VW TDI towing something a lot bigger than a glider trailer (in the USA)
