towing a caravan with 2000 s type r 3.0 auto,

Featured Replies

Hi I am planning to tow a caravan, it weighs about 1110 kilo's do I have to fit an oil cooler to gearbox, I love the car so mutch Idon't want to change it,


Welcome to the Club, Michael

 

The S type weighs around 1700 kilos kerb weight and the safe towing weight using the recommended 85% of kerb weight will be circa 1450 kilos.

 

Add 100kg to the weight for the items inside your caravan and you will be well inside the safe figure.

 

I towed a similar weight caravan with a much lighter car [Rover 2.5 litre Sterling auto] and it towed very well without an oil cooler.

 

I think there should not be a problem.

 

Regards,

Hi peter, thank's for your fast reply I will now go ahead and fit a tow bar, when I do start towing I will post the result which may assist other jag caravaners.

Welcome Michael, enjoy the forum.
