Rameder “hooks” a winning hitch for the new Dacia Lodgy minivan

It’s very rare to get so much car for the money as you do with the new Dacia Lodgy minivan, which is one of the cheapest ways to get a real van. Not only does a Rameder tow-bar deliver even more (extra) storage space, it does it for almost no money. Those who regularly use all seven of the van’s seats will certainly appreciate the extra storage space of a trailer. With all seats occupied, the boot of the van dwindles to a scanty 207 litres.

Unlike Dacia, the market leader from Germany offers a removable version of the Lodgy tow-bar, which is available at www.rameder.eu. Removing the ball head puts the van’s sleek look to its best advantage. The car looks even better when there’s nothing to tow, notes Rameder. In terms of aesthetics, Dacia does itself no favours by describing its own rigid solution as "elegantly shaped".
