We can point noticeable differences between the way Ford Mondeo 2. Going further, the suspensions of the new Mondeo are a dream come true! Precise suspensions give the car incredible agility for its dimensions. Excellent filtering, a firm road holding and, above all, a quietness that would make any premium model in the segment feel ashamed. Practically, all the mechanical settings of Mondeo leave you with the feeling of a car capable of supporting much more powerful engines, towards hp or more.
The space offered by the new Mondeo to its passengers is not large. And ergonomics… exemplary. Volvo and Mercedes-Benz accents are felt in the passenger compartment. For example, in front of the gearbox is an airy area with storage space, like all Volvo models launched in the last ten years.
The on-board instruments combine some analogue dials with virtual needles, plus useful information for the beautifully organized driver. Likewise, there is a certain Volvo inspiration here, but also Mercedes-Benz. Unfortunately, all that Ford has to offer for now on Mondeo are some ornamental finishes made of plastic, without wood or aluminium, which shows that the marketing still wanted to keep costs under control and alleviate the sensations of Volvo and Mercedes-Benz.
Even the exterior does not protect your mind from comparisons. The top diesel engine, the 2. The diesel sounds overly soundproof, so you never know what speed the car is just listening to the engine.
In the case of the petrol engine, you get more accurate sound notes and, if you are the kind of driver for whom the natural sound of the car matters, then the only choice remains 1. Safety: There is no question of safety in the new Ford Mondeo: a limousine in this segment is not allowed to have any escape in this very important chapter for the target audience of this type of car. Public liability insurance is often an important cover for caterers and most other trades, as it can protect you if someone is injured or their property is damaged because of your business.

How do I know if my car can tow a horse trailer? Can a pull a horse trailer?
What SUV can pull a 2 horse trailer? If you look on the continent everyone does it. TBF their boxes are a damn site lighter than horrible rattly Ifors but still.
It's pretty normal to see Mercs and Volvos towing. I tow with my 3L ford scorpio. Legally it can tow 2 tonnes and it manages fine with just one on board although in fairness there are no hills here Plus I don't tow an ifor. They weigh K plus unladen horrible things no offence, they just aren't for me! Where you stand with a mondeo I don't know.
They aren't very big cars and they aren't very heavy so they might not tow much. You'd have to check into it. Joined 3 January Messages Yes I had me licence medically downgraded so can no longer drive lorries or anything over 3. I used to have a 2. My boy is kg tops and previous boy was g and we had no problems taking him all over longest journey was a mile round trip mainly motorway.
We now have an estate which is actually much better to tow with, it has self levelling and is a smoother ride and start off. If I go with anyone else we go in a Discovery or similar but just for one it works really well - The only thing I would not do is attempt fields unless bone dry. The hill down the back of our house is steep and at a low steady speed we get up fine HTH.
Joined 16 May Messages Not sure if it would be legal, not to mention safe?? If it's safe enough for Sweden, who are pretty hot on automotive safety after all, it's safe enough for me.
Joined 9 September Messages 3, Just my opinion, and what I've been told. Joined 9 June Messages My R has an unladen weight of kg so that would leave you with kg! By the time you add the horse, the hay, the water and the tack you're looking at being a good kg overweight.
Volvos and Mercs as one poster mentioned actually have a much higher kerb weight and towing capacity as well as rear wheel drive which on paper and on a good surface make them fine to tow that weight, including up hills but if you went to the average local show on a rainy day you may find yourself well and truly stuck as they are simply not designed to tow that sort of weight through mud.

We're well under its upper braked towing capacity. We've never had a problem, it tows absolutely fine and horse is happy BUT I'd not use it to tow a double.
