Hello, I am looking for a mid size diesel SUV, which will have some towing duties, but not heavy. I am considering Outlander or Ford Kuga. I have heard of some issues with Ford transmissions. Do you think this is a concern with the Kuga? Any reliability issues I should consider with these 2? Thanks.

Hi there,
From what I can see, the Diesel Kuga has a Powershift transmission which is the same type as in the Fiesta and Focus- which has been known to have issues. The Outlander on the other hand is very popular and I'm not aware of any common issues to note.
