yep, towed my caravan a couple of weeks ago from derby to north norfolk after 160 remap....effortless to be honest....returned an average of 31 mpg over 275 miles of towing and a full compliment of 2 adults, two 10 year old children and a loaded car...very happy.

I towed for the first time with my Tourer 2 weeks ago,it was effortless,she cruised at 60 all day long,caravan 1400kg fully laden.

I have not had the remap,do not think it will make it any better,131 is very good for my outfit.

And between 35-30 mpg.

After pulling with the Mercedes ML,drinking diesel for fun,its a doddle with the tourer,should have got one years ago

Couldnt agree more. Have done 2 trips away with the 'van & having had the 160 done (ok it's on a manual saloon) you really notice the difference in torque, makes towing a lot easier.
