    How suitable is the 2024 SsangYong Rexton Ultimate for towing a caravan?
    Answered by David Morley · 18 November 2024

    A lot of caravans of this size can easily weigh up to (and perhaps a little bit more than) 3000kg. The good news is that the Rexton is rated to tow 3500kg. So make sure the van and everything in it including things like water tanks, weighs less than 3500kg and that you don’t exceed the towball down-weight limit.

    Don’t forget, either that the Rexton has a Gross Combination Mass limit of 6460kg, which means that with the full 3500kg on the towball, plus the kerb weight of the vehicle (2130kg) you only have 830kg for everything in the car including passengers, luggage, fuel and any accessories you’ve added. In this regard, the Rexton isn’t too bad and some other vehicles have precious little payload remaining once there’s a big van hanging off the back.

    The other thing to remember is that with all that weight on board, you might find the turbo-diesel engine is working pretty hard most of the time. Many caravanners prefer a vehicle with a larger capacity engine on that basis.
