    While I prefer the caddy , I was in a berlingo recently that had 2 passenger seats. Very handy.

    Was parked beside a 132 sportage earlier, mighty fine piece of kit.

    Word is that the next biggest clamp down is going to be on trailers. A lot of people are pulling trailers that are too heavy for car when loaded. Most cars only fit to pull 1 ton to 1.5 ton. I'd be keeping this in the back of my mind if I was buying.

    There clamping down on trailer weights around here for a while now

    there is a big variation within some car and van models as to what they can pull, depending on engine size etc, transit swb van varies from 800 to 3000 kg
