Quick random question, your Pug HDi, what do you get when towing?

GrandpaT (RIP) has 110 HDi 406, wondered what it would get towing a box trailer.  :-\

Yeah, he always got a solid 50 out on solo runs, but not sure what he got towing as he did very little.

I'm thinking 35+? As it won't be a burger van, a very lightly loaded Box trailer.

I never actually said I would fit a tow bar, that said can't see it being 300 bucks. :)
To get one fitted, you won't see much change ;)
