If you’re looking for the best-used cars for towing, and have regular, heavy-duty towing in mind, it’s likely you’ll be looking for an SUV or large estate car with a powerful diesel engine, great stability, and suitably large maximum tow weights. If occasional, lighter loads are more likely, you can exercise some creative licence with your choice of a tow vehicle.
Whether you need extra space for a tip run or fancy taking a holiday with a caravan in tow, there are cars whose impressive towing capacities are paired with design considerations that help make the business of towing as simple, safe and unintimidating as possible.
Whichever car you choose for towing, you should make sure that you are equipped for the task by checking that your driving licence entitles you to do so. The UK Government provides a guide to towing regulations to keep you towing safely and legally.
