Guide to 1969 Towing Cars

GUIDE TO 1969 TOWING CARS

Compiled by the editorial staff of THE CARAVAN

There are so many factors involved in choosing a towing car that it is difficult for the average user to know where to start. The importance of lowing in the annual use of the car is probably the first factor to consider.
If you tow only once a year you are unlikely to consider only the car's towing ability: it's what you expect from it in solo motoring which counts more. However, we must assume that you are looking for the best towing vehicle you can buy.
The price you are willing to pay at once narrows the field. Within this limit, start by considering the heaviest cars because the ability of the car to stop the tail wagging the dog is a major factor. If the car is heavy enough for the van (see the formula in note 12 below) it will usually be powerful enough. It's not getting up the hill which is so critical as getting down the other side without the van taking charge.
Cars are grouped by parent manufacturers and where models differ by little more than name and trim they are put together (e.g., BMC: A60/Oxford/16-60 covers Austin, Morris and Wolseley variants of the basic model). Figures in columns 1-11 are taken from manufacturers and recognised trade sources.

1: Engine capacity (cc)
The size of the engine is usually of no very great significance-except as an indication of where to start looking. Weight is more important. Compare the Austin A60 with the Triumph Vitesse. The Vitesse's engine is 376 cc larger than the A60 but the Austin weighs 2J cwt more.
2: Lowest weight (cwt)
This is the weight of the car in the showroom, without passengers, lug­ gage, or much petrol. De Luxe versions and those with automatic transmission are usually a little heavier. The figures in this column determine those in column 12.
3: Max BMP at RPM
The maximum, brake horsepower at stated engine revolutions governs, in simple terms, the car's top speed. To the lowing man, high BHP alone is unimportant-a sports car churns out plenty but at the lower speeds at which an outfit restarts on a gradient the engine will be producing poor torque (see below).
4: Max torque at RPM
Torque, or turning effort, governs, again in simple terms, acceleration and hill climbing. A car with plenty of torque at the right engine speeds has plenty of guts, slogging power. Start­ing on a hill with a caravan demands lots of torque at the lowest possible engine speed. If maximum torque is produced at something like 1800- 2000rpm the engine characteristics are good for towing. But bear in mind also the actual amount of torque produced.
5: Number of forward gears (and overdrive if available)
Four gears are better than three for towing. With only three you feel the gaps between each ratio much more on tow. An asterisk after the number of gears indicates that synchromesh is provided on all forward speeds. Over­ drive, often available as an extra, is useful especially if it operates on the gear below top when the driver has four closely spaced ratios to choose from !he best performance. Some manufacturers, when fitting overdrive, provide a lower-ratio back axle, so that every gear is lower and better for towing. In the table, (T) means overdrive on top gear only, (T3) top and third, (T2) top and second,, on a three-speed box.
6: Automatic transmission if available

Most automatic transmissions incorporate a torque converter which has the advantage of being able to deliver full torque to the road wheels at zero miles per hour - ideal for getting away on a hill with a van. Key to the abbreviations is: DB-Daimler-Benz (fluid coupling with no torque converter). The following all use a torque converter: AP-Automotive Products (four gears), ZF-BMW's own system.
BW-Borg-Warner, JA- Jaeger, PG -Power-glide, F-Ferodo, C4-Ford, H M-Hondomatic. CT- Chrysler Torqueflite, FS-Fichtlel and Sachs selective automatic, TOY-Toyota, OPEL-Opel, HY-HydramatJc.
Ford UK and Rootes do not recommend their cars fitted with automatic transmission for towing. Volkswagen approve towing with the Fichtlel and Sachs box but not with their own. Triumph recommend the fitting of a transmission oil cooler for towing. Jaguar/Daimler and Rover fit oil coolers as standard.

7: MPH per 1000 RPM in top gear
Comparison of overall gear ratios is misleading because the wheel and tyre size have an effect on the ratio. The road speed at a fixed engine speed in top gear provides a useful comparison. The higher the road speed (most family cars run between 15-20mph) the higher-geared I* the car. High gears lead to fuel economy and easy engine performance at high road speeds but the caravanner will find such a car calls for much changing of gears when towing. Low gears are better, but see below.
8: Torque produced at 5mph in bottom gear
Comparison of the maximum torque produced by engines can be misleading because different engines are designed to produce their maximum torque at different rpm depending on the type of car in which they are installed. Getaway caravanner's need good torque low down and the figure in this column is the amount of torque (in lb/ft) produced when the car is moving at 5mph in bottom gear. As a method of comparison for this particular purpose this figure can be regarded as the great leveler and allows a direct comparison between one car and another. Versions with a torque converter automatic transmission score, of course, by producing their maximum from a standstill up to well over 5mph. Some manufacturers, notably American and Continental ones, were unable to supply the information for this column.
9: Rear suspension
The rear springs of a car can greatly affect the stability of the whole outfit. The abbreviations mean: HE- half-elliptic leaf springs. CA-cantilever leaf springs, I - independent, C-coil springs, Tor - torsion bars, Tr - transverse leaf spring, dD-de Dion layout, HP-hydro pneumatic, HL-hydrolastic. There is nothing wrong in principle with independent rear suspension systems in themselves for towing but unfortunately the tendency is for some independent and coil systems to be softer than conven­ tional leaf springing. Soft systems should be avoided as they may produce a poor towing performance.
10: Tail overhang (in)

The distance from the centre of the rear wheels to the point where the coupling is attached should ideally be as short as possible. A long tail acts as a lever and allows the caravan nose weight to compress the car's springs unduly. A long tail leads to pitching, especially if the springs are soft.

11: Maker's gross towing limit

This shows the car manufacturers' suggested limit for the all-up weight their car should tow. This means the caravan complete with all food, bedding, clothes and equipment in it. If you exceed this you may invalidate your guarantee. In some cases it is well known that experienced caravanners exceed this limit (few Minis in rally or touring use tow as little as 8cwt). But the responsibility is the owner's.

12: Formula (delivered weight)
This deals with the 'delivered weight' that is, how the caravan should come from the factory, to the nearest ¼ cwt. The figures shown are worked out strictly according to the formula stated as follows: The delivered weight of the caravan should not exceed 75 per cent of the kerbside weight of the car, where the delivered weight of the caravan is stated in the caravan manufacturer's catalogue and the kerbside weight of the car is stated in the car manufacturer's catalogue.
In arriving at this formula it is assumed that personal effects and baggage, together with gas cylinders and any other equipment not included in the caravan as standard, will not exceed:
2 ½ cwt in caravans up to 10cwt delivered weight,
3 cwt in caravans over 10 but not over 20cwt delivered weight,
4 cwt in caravans over 20 but not, over 30cwt delivered weight,
5 cwt in caravans over 30cwt delivered weight.

Some cautions must however be given. The formula assumes that all manufacturers are complying with the NCC standard terminology and quoting the delivered weight in their catalogues. In fact it is not yet safe to assume that every catalogue weight is the delivered, weight as defined by the NCC. A check with the manufac­ turers may be necessary.
Further we stress, as we have always stressed, that there is no such thing as a foolproof, cast iron formula. The formula can only be a guide for the initial sifting of possible combinations. Cars of a given weight differ in further things such as wheelbase, braking and robustness of clutch, and there are differences in the stability of caravans of the same weight.
Accordingly, the formula must be used with common sense, if a car manufacturer quotes a maximum towed weight lower than the formula given, his weight should normally be preferred, and if the chosen car or caravan leads to a ratio very close to the borderline it is desirable to obtain an opinion on the particular vehicles selected from the caravan Advice Bureau or from experienced cara­ vanners.
