Paul,

I am just looking back through past threads re: towing capacities for the Ulysse. And i notice that you tow a 1650kg caravan with your 2.2jtd. I have a 2.0jtd and my tow capacity is only 1345, and from memory i think your 2.2 is about the same. I have though been in touch with several caravan dealerships and one has told me that Fiat uk will issue a letter stating that the vehicles can in fact tow upto 1850kg, as per the capacities for the Citroen/Peugeot variants. Did you buy your caravan through a dealer or private? As the dealers i have spoke to are not prepared to supply me the van i want until i can get confirmation from Fiat of the increased towing capacity. If you have already gone down this route with Fiat then any contact info would be gratefully received as my Fiat Dealer doesn't know where to start.

Cheers

Alex Braid.

Oops sorry missed this thread, I bought my van in Germany where you see much smaller cars towing massive caravans! Seems they are a little more relaxed about towing capacities. Dealers will sell you the customer what you ask for.
