Ford Mondeo III - 1.6 EcoBoost (118 kW/158 bhp)
Date of manufacture: august 2010 - up to now. Towball limit: 90 kg (Advise: 75 kg)
Important for safe towing is the weight ratio between Car and Caravan.
The weight ratio (loaded caravan / kerbweight tow car) for the Ford and Bailey is
83%. This means that the match between car and caravan is perfect. The stability and safety index is good for this outfit.
The towing performances of this Ford with your Bailey are perfect (performance index = 63).
You may expect very lively performances from this outfit. On flat roads it's easy to come along, top gear is applicable in most cases.
On motorway inclines you will be able not only to come along, but be the first at the top. On steep roads you have more than sufficient power to keep going. On hill starts there will be sufficient power to get going, provided the wheels have traction.
