we have a brand new kia sportage. We want to tow our caravan to devon. How soon can we do so regarding mileage ? is it best to wait until we reach a certain mileage? thank you
1200 miles is the recommended mileage before you start to tow with a new engine as this avoids putting maximum strain on your engine when it is still tight.
As long as you realise it won't be at its best at pulling, my diesel took a good 4000 miles before it started to show its grunt, just keep an eye on your temperature guage and fluids.
Otherwise enjoy your trip and many happy miles of motoring.
