Towing limits
Ford S-Max
Overview of the towing limits and the '85% recommended towing weights' within a model range. In general, the caravan should not exceed 85% of the kerbweight of the car (if allowed).
Of course, 50 kg more or less does not matter too much and not the difference between absolutely safe driving and dangerous driving!
