The towing specs are the same as the old 1300, hopefully the 1500cc will have a bit more grunt with the extra 20Nm. I use to tow a 900kg caravan with my old Jimny and it did struggle up hills.

Added links to a few more reviews here: www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum/6-jimny...how?start=300#196150

Oh and although its in Italian, this one is worth a look simply because the reviewer seems to think it's a WRC car and gets it completely airborne over a jump :ohmy:

I don't speak a word of Italian, but I got more out of that video than I did all the other reviews put together.

That Italian review was much more informative. Better off-road tests than in the German launch videos. It looked like the car was on Italian plates.

If it will tow 1300kg, fingers crossed we get a poverty spec auto then, and I'll get one B)

Don't suppose the steel wheels & winter tyres off the current one will fit, as I recall the tyre sizes are different.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
