You want to use the Ford Transit also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this topic the car 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).
torque affects the Ford Transit how much the trailer load affects acceleration. Torque is available at 390 Nm, which is already a decent value and guarantees that you won't have any problems getting off the mark as a rule.

The basic prerequisite - the trailer hitch - is given, because a corresponding device is already included in this deal.

Evaluation - is the Ford Transit suitable as a towing vehicle?: The automobile can be trailers with enormous 3500 kg pull own weight . The whole is pulled by the strong 390 Nm Torque - that sounds like a lot, it is, the Ford Transit 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.
