I got suck at my project house yesterday, for the 2nd time in a week.
The first time I got out when the sun came up, yesterday it never got
above 0 to melt the snow. I took the bobcat for a spin, and found a
neighbour with a tractor, who had to drag me out in reverse, as my car
has no place to tie a tow rope on the front.

This has got me thinking, are there any small 4x4 diesel cars/vans
that will tow a tonne in a tralier, and do 50 mpg+

Thanks
Rick

not at the same time except perhaps in Holland?

my 307 does 50 mpg towing a tonne. Actually it does better MPG with
the trailer on - cause I go slower, neerer 56 mph, than 85mph.

Golf GT TDI 4motion. Blackcircles.com will even sell you some
Vredestein Snow Trac 2 to put on it; or your 307.

Your first problem is that the recommendation (although not the law) is
that the trailer weighs no more than 80% of the gross weight of the
towing vehicle, so your tow car needs to weigh at least 1.25 tonnes. Not
exactly "small".

This Van GVW=879KG will tow 1100KG as per the manafactuers spec.
