Our New Tow Car. MG HS

[@paulandsarahcaravanlife]

Hi Mark. Hope all goes well mate with the new tow car and fitting off the tow bar. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Paul and Sarah

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Tow bar fitted, next step, trip out next week, can't wait. Thanks for watching 👍

[@TheCaravanNut]

Very nice looking car. Like the dash and the buttons under the middle screen. Think all cars look dirty this time of year. Looking forward to hearing how you get on towing. Cheers

[@HitchUpAndTow]

First tow next weekend, I have everything crossed. Hopefully no dramas. Thanks for watching 👍

[@CraftyCampervanners]

Nice car. We had an MG 3 and an MG GS - good value for money and I have to say the front of the HS is very good looking. Happy towing x

[@HitchUpAndTow]

I always wanted an MG, but was thinking more down the lines of a MGB GT😁

[@CraftyCampervanners]

@@HitchUpAndTow I don’t think I would be able to get out of an MGB GT not with my knees 🤪 old age doesn’t come alone.

[@JCharlesoutdoors]

Very nice tow car, good luck with it. 👍

[@HitchUpAndTow]

We are happy with it, so far. We have a trip booked for this Saturday, so we will see how see tows. Thanks for watching 👍

Hi, Wowzers!!! Nice looking car!!! My very first car was the same age as me, a 1963 Morris Cooper SS. The radio had tubes😂. It had been shipped to Canada by a gent who passed away, and his wife sold it to a guy who slolum? Raced it in the next town over, he sold it to my Dad for my 16th bday. I had to learn from my Dad about maintenance, or he wouldn't let me have it,lol, same as my dirt bike😂 My Dad had to make brake pads for it as he couldnt order any. I had a flat tire once, and 2guys lifted it up while I changed the tire,ha! Anyhoo, did you mention the towload of ur new car and how much ur caravan weighs? I got typing and now I gotta rewatch the video😅😅😅😅😅🦖🌞🌵

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Thanks for watching. The car isn't too bad at towing, it can pull up to 1750kg and our caravan is only 1450kg, could do with a bit more power, but it's OK. Stay safe👍

[@BikesBoatsBivouacs]

Looks really nice.

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Thanks👍

[@JNTravels]

Very nice looking car🐸

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Thanks 👍

[@meganpent6434]

Looks very nice

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Thank you, so far all is good. ATB

[@nancydrew6568]

Very nice, 👍

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Don't know how it tows yet, but Coral is finding it more comfortable she wasn't happy with the bucket seats in the kuga. Thanks for watching and stay safe👍

[@CraftyCampervanners]

Nice car! Reminds us of the MG GS we had in 2014, but yours is a LOT nicer. The GS couldn’t pull the skin of a custard…. Looks like Android Auto / Apple CarPlay built in? In terms of the dirt in the car, consult a calendar. If month=January then dirt = maximum! 😊

[@HitchUpAndTow]

The towing test is next week. Fingers crossed 🤞

[@CraftyCampervanners]

@@HitchUpAndTow I’m sure it’s going to do well! What size motor in the HS? GS had a lawnmower 1,5l in it ..

[@ericharvey9456]

What is the manual gearbox like ? Some reviewers say it's sloppy.

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Found the gearbox to be fine, quite impressed for a budget SUV. Thanks for watching

[@andrew-karens-adventures]

Nice looking car, is it petrol or diesel, interesting to know how different it is to Kuga when towing

[@HitchUpAndTow]

It's petrol with a turbo, but think it has a lot to live up to. First tow next week 🤞

[@AlexanderDowie-pd5hi]

That's what j did took shelf and put a rug in it for my dog

[@HitchUpAndTow]

It's a great space. Thanks for watching 👍

[@ianfossett4482]

We have exactly the same car a black MG HD Excite but ours is a dct , we now have our towbar fitted . Not yet towed our caravan , looking forward to your towing experience with the HS .What caravan do you have?

[@HitchUpAndTow]

We are off to the caravan today to fit new number plate and give it a wash, if there's enough time, I might have a quick tow to see how she does. Thanks for watching 👍

[@ianfossett4482]

@@HitchUpAndTow thats great , i have pretty much discovered all of the features on the car , there are a LOT ! Some not obvious 😄. Happy to help if you get stuck. Happy caravaning .

[@darrenrobson2244]

Hi Dave could you tell me what the weight of your caravan is , as im new to this and I have purchased the same car, What are your thoughts as a tow car and do you think it could cope with a slightly heavier caravan ?. Thank you , Darren

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Not sure who Dave is, but maybe Mark can help lol. My caravan has a MIRO 1281 and a MTPLM 1450KG. The MG HS pull ok but is not planted as well as our last car ,Kuga, and it can struggle on steep inclines. Been away 6 times so far without any issues and have booked Cornwall later this year without any concerns. It's not the best, but it does the job

[@bobmckayfreedom]

How are you getting on with the MG

[@HitchUpAndTow]

It's doing the job, but not aswell as the kuga. We have a long trip coming up, later in the year, we be interesting to see how it copes and the mpg. ATB Mark and Coral

[@bobmckayfreedom]

@@HitchUpAndTow I think I’m going to go for HS Exclusive Auto took it for test drive today

[@HitchUpAndTow]

@@bobmckayfreedom hope you enjoy it 👍

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

Looks like a great car. I really like the style of it. And I'm glad you picked dark interior. I hate that mustard color that comes in some cars. So ugly and reminds me of baby 💩

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Totally agree, plus it would clash with my furry dice 🤣👍. Thanks for watching 👍

[@HelenandDave]

Nice looking car, looking forward to seeing how it tows. Have a great touring season 👍

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Trip booked for next weekend, hopefully all will go well. Thanks for watching and hope to see you out there 👍

Be interesting to see how we get on with it next weekend 🤣

[@G.J..Journeys]

Looks a great car Mark with plenty storage space and a few USB's for charging. Enjoy it

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Looking forward to enjoying it this weekend 😁. Thanks for watching 👍

[@jay5729]

Traveling in comfort now! Is that a manual? I don't know why more car companies do that thing with the trunk where they cover half of the open space with a false floor.

[@HitchUpAndTow]

I've come to the conclusion, it's for smuggling 🤣. Thanks for watching 👍

[@DesmondsDonders]

Thanks for the tour. Black always shows the dirt. All that storage space excellent.

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Ideal for smuggling short bread across the boarder in to England

[@vansforthememories]

Very swish indeed and worth the wait I bet 😎 Em

[@HitchUpAndTow]

We are looking forward to our 1st tow. Its been a long time. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Kniferest]

Good video. Thanks for the info. We ordered our MG HS just today. Looking forward to seeing how you getting on after towing your van.

[@HitchUpAndTow]

We are coming home from our first trip away tomorrow, so will be releasing a video on how we got on will the MG, Saturday after next. Hope you tune in . ATB

[@andyjenno]

Hi, it looks very nice. Looking forward to the full review. Cheers Andy

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Hopefully , we will be towing today, just to see how she handles 🤞

[@andyjenno]

@@HitchUpAndTow Safe trip and hope you have a lovely time, cheers Andy

[@jimfoster9980]

Getting our HS in June, how did the tow bar fitting go and who did you use?

[@HitchUpAndTow]

It took about 3 hours and was fitted by Southport Towbars, a small local company. They have fitted our last 3 towbars and have never had a problem with them 👍

[@busterboy7505]

Nice looking car Mark, can’t remember if you have said what fuel ⛽️ it uses?, looking forward to your first time tow, thanks for sharing 👍👍.

[@HitchUpAndTow]

It's a petrol, never towed with one, could be interesting👍

[@omicSheep]

Is petrol 😂😂😂😂 , well anyone knows that.... he asked what tipe of fuel: 95. ;)

[@calmingrelaxation2165]

Very nice

[@HitchUpAndTow]

Thank you 👍
