VW Touareg III 3.0 V6 TDI SCR Drive 4MOTION Tiptronic - Towing vehicle

Can the VW Touareg also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this question the motor vehicle 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 this automotive, thanks to the maximum towing capacity of 3500 kg, you can tow virtually anything that wants to be towed privately (caravan, horse trailer, boat) or professionally (larger machines, heavy material).
For the VW Touareg gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. 500 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration. The four-wheel drive ensures that the traction is not lost even on rough terrain.

However, this advertisement does not yet include trailer hitch and must be additionally ordered.

Evaluation - is the VW Touareg suitable as a towing vehicle?: The car draws enormous 3500 kg . He can rely on strong 500 Nm access torque - that sounds like a lot, it is, the VW Touareg 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.
