Opel Frontera 2.2 Dti and Lunar

Mark reviewed on 29 August 2016 a Opel Frontera 2.2 Dti (120 PS/88 Kw, Year: 2002 - 2004) with a Lunar Zenith 5 of 1205 kg.

The Frontera Olympus I've got has been a fantastic tow car. Really can't fault it. It's stable at speed, I don't tend to go over 55mph so it just cruises along. Fuel return is good too! Plenty of power up hills, out accelerated other outfits plenty of times.
What I\'m gonna replace it with is proving difficult... Shame they stopped making them..

my 2003 frontera is an excellent tug for my lunar solaris it pulls the van with no effort at all. sadly when it finally gives up I don\'t know what will replace it but my frontera will probably out live me

Carl reviewed on 06 April 2014 a Opel Frontera 2.2 (136 PS/100 Kw, Year: 1998 - 2004) with a Ace Supreme Twinstar of 1732 kg.

Performance is ok on the flat but when towing my Ace Supreme Twinstar ( MRO 1532kgs ), at MTPLM of probably @ 1750 kgs then my Frontera 2.2 RS struggles up even the most moderate of inclines and I feel it needs more power. No issues with stability at upto 60mph and very steady at 50 mph.

Peter Hill reviewed on 06 July 2013 a Opel Frontera 2.2 Dti (120 PS/88 Kw, Year: 2002 - 2004) with a Abbey Spectrum 535 of 1732 kg.

Hi, I have had 5 Fronteras .I use my present 5 door 2.2dti Frontera to pull caravans, closed and open car trailers and goods trailers. As far as pulling heavy loads it was able to do pull a car trailer with a discovery on it no problem. As far as a goods trailer 3 bags of logs or 2 bags of sand also no problem even to get home up a 16% hill. My MK1 frontera towbar came loose a few times so welded it up. . PS all twin axles. Been as far as Bratislava towing. Keep to truck speed safe and economical. Brilliant in the ice and snow.
The mk2 Fronteras all did the job well, shame there are no more

Opel Frontera 2.2 Dti and Coachman

Peter Root reviewed on 11 June 2012 a Opel Frontera 2.2 Dti (120 PS/88 Kw, Year: 2002 - 2004) with a Coachman Pastiche 560/4 of 1630 kg.

This Frontera is a supertug! It tows my Pastiche 560/4 with consumate ease at an average of 28mpg. I will be very loathe to part with it for there is no other vehicle out there that will match it`s fuel consumption, offering high and low box and the lowest emmisions and road tax banding in it`s class. Unfortunately, as it is no longer made it is totally irreplaceable, which is a real shame.

Malcolm Garda reviewed on 08 June 2012 a Opel Frontera 3.2 aut. (205 PS/151 Kw, Year: 1998 - 2004) with a Bailey Senator Virginia of 1559 kg.

Vauxhall/Opel Frontera Nov 2003 (3.2i V6 24v Auto 202HP) towing a Bailey Senator MONTANA (2001 Twin Axle) 1261KG with 323KG payload = 1584KG. I have been towing with this rig - effortless - also have 50KG's in a large (580L) Karite roof box and 25KG's on a Pendle bike rack. No probs towing in 'D' however I shitf to '3' for up-hill. No overheating - up-hill temp hovers a hair over half way on the needle (90 C?) but one quarter in normal driving (80 C). Have had original gearbox oil cooler disconnected and larger one fitted (�90 tot) in front of all rads. have had supplementary fan (only 9" �25) fitted to front n/s of air-con rad so that in traffic more air passes through this one for comfort in the car. No additional engine cooling was fitted as the std viscous coupling seems to do pretty well even when 30deg C outside! Av 19mpg over 500mile stretch. Best tow car I've ever had - wipes the floor with my GC Jeep of the same age!

I use my Frontera 2.2 DTI to tow my 2250 Kg boat and 550 Kg trailer. This is obviously really heavy but it does manage it albeit slowly up mountain passes. The Frontera is a brilliant tow car and will be difficult to replace with something as capable and well sorted.

Car really struggle on inclines on motorway! Changes gear to much even when not on crusie controla and causes concern because the Temp goes into the red! Had to stop on a number of times to let the car cool down, but due to being a V6 did not take more than 2 mins to get up to the max temp again after restarting.
Only towed twice and left it at that, got another tow car, we had the frontera for nearky 3 years and it had never overheated unless it was towing, even with a trailer @ 700kgs! I would not recomend.

Pulls well with little trouble on hills. Fuel economy isn't the best (around 17-19 mpg with van and 21-22 mpg without). Pulled the caravan well in snow (but watch the power - that engine can spin the wheels without much coaxing!)
