Hey guys, a lot of peeps on here seem to be well informed about towing cars and rolling shells so I'm hoping someone can help me out here.

My Mk2 Mondeo 1.8 has a towbar fitted to the back of it. I've been asked if I could tow a trailor with my mate's Mk4 Escort RST rolling shell on the back of it back from a bodyshop.

I don't know the exact weight of it and he's providing a trailor but I was wondering if anybody knows what the towing weights of the 1.8 Mondeo are and if the car will be up to towing it back?

I only have the 'normal' B category on my licence as well (I'm only 24) - I don't have B+E................is this going to cause me legal issues as well as I seem to understand there is a limit to what I can tow on a particular type of trailor or something???

ANY advice would be most appreciated although I understand that not knowing how heavy the shell is and what type of trailor is gonna be used makes things a bit tricky!

 

Read this thread, should answer your question

Apart from above, the car will be well up to it, I towed a mondeo, on a VERY heavy(braked) car trailer with a mk2 astra.
