My mum had two Scottie dogs....they were lovely dogs too!!
I tow an Avondale Dart 515/4 (laden 1200kg) with my ZT 160T and it tows like a dream. Plenty of power when needed. The stiffer suspension helps as it helps reduce the bouncing with the van on the back. I also use a Bulldog stabiliser. Never had a problem with it towing and hill starts are a breeze although I try to be as kind as possible on the clutch. Important to keep the noseweight correct as you probably know.
Shame that all the caravan magazines want to feature new cars in their towcar guides. We're not all able to afford new stuff!! The ZT is a damned good towcar and dare I say better than the equivalent 75 due to the stiffer suspension. I'd recommend it as a tow car to anyone. Ifn fact the fact that I pull a caravan was one of the major considerations when I bought my car.
