Hi,

What mpg could i expect from a 2005 td6 sport towing a single axle 1.3 ton caravan?

Ive done a search for this and only found one thread from a few years ago but that was a big twin axle beast.

Ive been lurking in the background on here for a while and not bought a sport yet, ive had the full fat version but the mpg from the v8 made me sell it but missed it ever since.

Since derv prices are going crazy i need to put me sensible head on. I pulled the caravan with my mums rav 4 and it took the mpg from 51 down to 21 but id expect to get that from a RRS so thats my logic.

Been from yorkshire im as tight as they come!!

My V6 did @ 23/25 towing a twin axle 1565 kg van. V8 does about 26 with a 1440 kg twin axle. Hope that helps. 2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

Yeah thats good info.

So will a little bit lighter caravan might get a few mpg more.

I do mainly drive like a vicar when in a 4x4 so thats got to help. I have motorbike for speed.

Tdv6 , 23/24 MPG from north west to Donnington with box trailer carrying 2 motorbikes

That's for the help!!

That's what I was thinking that the RRS would have less trouble pulling the caravan therefore losing less mpg than a car that got a smaller engine.

Donnington park is a really good track, I've got a zx10r track bike but have only done one trackday there as cadwell park is my local track.

i managed 27mpg towing my karting trailer

The entire outfit including kart probably struggles to reach 300 kgs. Depending of course on how heavy you are and guessing you are not a cadet  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
