Can the VW Crafter also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this question the automobile must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With a towing capacity of 3000 kg, the VW Crafter is a real workhorse. For him, there is hardly anything that you can not pull, at most a full-grown sailboat.
torque affects the VW Crafter how much the trailer load affects acceleration. Torque is available at 340 Nm, which is already a decent value and guarantees that you won't have any problems getting off the mark as a rule.

However, this advertisement does not yet include trailer coupling and must be separately ordered.

Evaluation - is the VW Crafter suitable as a towing vehicle?: The vehicle draws enormous 3000 kg . The whole is pulled by the strong 340 Nm Torque - that sounds like a lot, it is, the VW Crafter is a born towing vehicle. Horse trailers with one horse (possibly two) are no problem, also large (luxury) caravans or smaller excavators and other heavy equipment. Please note that you may need a driving license B96 or even BE / class 3 here.
