Citreon Dispatch Van Any Good For Towing

Thinking of changing my wee van for a 2ltr Hdi Dispatch van to pull the trailer, anyone have any advice? Good or bad!!
Trailer will be loaded with car and the van I'd think would be better than the X5 I currently have and also be better on fuel!

If only Connects had power!!!!

Can't you get the 1.8 lump fettled with a little bit?

Mines got 400nms of torque! Goes like a stabbed rat.

It's got moon miles and I think low kerb side weight for towing!
