Value car for towing a trailer

Viscount Aggro · 2023-05-25 12:48:11

I am a novice in the used car market, so am needing help here. I have about 10K to spend, and want a used car, one that would be able to fit a towbar, and pull a trailer that is c. 100kg in weight. What car type could I look for? I am not precious about car brands. thanks

Pretty much every car can be fitted with a tow bar and any of them would pull that trailer. Probably be about €400/500 to have the tow bar professionally fitted so include that in your budget.
You probably have to tell your Insurance that you’ve added it as well as that you intend to tow a trailer occasionally.

What will total weight be of trailer fully loaded? 100kG is a tiny weight.
You insurance costs will probably dictate the car so get a firm insurance quote based on the car reg and towing before buying any car.
