Hiya folks,
Just wondered if anyone here tows with their CX3, either a trailer or a caravan.
Petrol mainly but diesel comments as well.
If you do, or you know someone who else who does/did, how do you/they find the vehicle for towing.
Any comments most welcome.

I tow a small trailer. I don't have any issues at all. Don't even notice it except for the trailer rattle.

I tow a 4 x 8 trailer (fairly heavy, 14" wheels) back and forth to the cottage and other runs around home. I never overload it because of the anchoring bolts on the left side are not the strongest but the right side has a secure bolt to the frame tow hook. I am thinking of beefing up the left side so I could haul more. Also when climbing steep hills because of the weight of the trailer and the load I use the manual option of the transmission to not stress it too much. It handles very well with no swaying. Best of luck.
