MinorMatt wrote:You say you want it for towing bikes and cars - its only a 280 so will have a 3500kg train weight. So, if the van is fully loaded you will only be able to tow about 700kg with it. If its empty/lightly loaded you could tow 1500kg with it (which is the max Ford recommend).

But it looks like you got a great deal on the van!

y caravan if
It will only be towing a MK2 escort so weight should be fine or 2-3 motorcross bikes/track bikes so weight should be fine (i hope), and maybe my caravan if its capable, if not i will just use my discovery :D

Just want to get it looking nice and tidied up first though and make it into a decent day van...
