The towing limit is unknown to us. Please check the towing limit!The Ford Transit (power) 2.4 Duratorq TDCi with a Fendt Brillant 700 TFD with an actual weight of 2260 kg is not a recommended match to drive.
The motor preformance of the Ford is in general fairly good. But the weight of the Fendt with a normally distributed User Payload (200 kg in the caravan and 200 kg in the car including passengers), is too heavy for long distances. Remember to load your caravan correctly, insuring that the noseweight of the caravan is sufficient and the weight is distributed properly. But even so, a starting caravan driver is better off choosing a smaller and less heavy caravan!
