Will a Ren Clio van be able to pull a car trailor with a Scoob on it?

Cheers never towed anything in my life.

The short answer is no.

The longer answer is...

I couldn't find details on the van, but it's based on the 1.5 dCi 3 door (65bhp). That has a kerb weight of 960kg (excluding driver), a max towing weight of 1200kg, and an overal train weight limit (i.e. car, trailer, driver, luggage etc) of 2400kg.

A classic scoob has a kerb weight of 1385kg plus you'll need another 100kg or soo for the trailer. It's also recommended that the trailer is only 85% of the tow cars kerb weight.

Whilst it's possible the van has been designed to lug around more that the car, I doubt such a small car would ever safely tow an Impreza.

Sorry.

Put the clio on the trailer and tow using the scooby?

Damn it, back to the drawing board. Dont supose anyone lives near Bristol with a car capable of towing a Scoob up to Leciester!

barge

hire something big

transit or disco type

tell them you want to pull a caravan, they dont seem to mind that at hire places

I had a similar dilemma and needed to tow a defunct Lotus 200 miles, hired an old Range Rover from a small local garage for £100 for a weekend, no probs, apart from the number of fuel topups at 14 mpg! As has been said you should be able to hire a Disco or a Shogun with a towbar from any of the usual hire places (Budget have always been good for me)for a day or weekend at a sensible rate.

You could hire a flat bed truck - like the AA ones. Might need an HGV licence though. I've no idea.
