VW Crafter II 35 Kastenwagen Hochdach lang plus 2.0 TDI BMT plus 4MOTION - Towing vehicle

You want to use the VW Crafter also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this issue 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 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.
For the VW Crafter gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. Torque is available at 410 Nm, which is already a decent value and guarantees that you won't have any problems getting off the mark as a rule. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this automobile distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this offer does not yet include trailer hitch and must be separately ordered.

Evaluation - is the VW Crafter suitable as a towing vehicle?: The car draws enormous 3000 kg . The whole is pulled by the strong 410 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.
