Not quite sure about what the Bongo will tow weight wise but if you didn't pass your driving test pre 1997 then you are limited to 750kg's I think ( I hope that's right
). There are many on here who tow large caravan's and boat's so I would think the towing capabilities are quite big weight wise. I'm sure someone will be along with more figure's soon.

We tow 1000Kg with ease (v6), others tow up to 1600kg's I belive (again with no problems).....The Bongo is a very good towing vehicle....( I would not include the 2lt petrol in that statement)

I tow a 1232kg Elddis with our 2.5 td no problems and a nice 55-60 mph steady journey. MPG drops to about 22mpg from 25 -30.

Have a look at the data sheet in the members area if you're a member (and if not, pay your money cos it's well worth it!). As a rule of thumb you can tow a maximum of 85% of the vehicle weight which is approximately 1500kg (1.5Te)
