Toyota Aurion 2007: Can it handle a van?

THERE'S always a debate about the ability of front-wheel-drive cars to tow as well as a rear-wheel drives, with most people preferring the latter. But it comes down to the sort of towing you are doing. If you're trying to pull a boat out of the water then I would prefer a rear-wheel-drive car, but if most of your towing is on the highway and on relatively flat going where traction isn't a significant problem, then a front-wheel-drive car will handle the job satisfactorily. The Aurion's towing capacity is 1600kg, so it should handle your 1000kg van without a problem.
