You want to use the VW Crafter also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this issue 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 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 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 the car is particularly heavy, all-wheel drive becomes more important. It is installed in this car.
However, this deal does not yet include trailer hitch and must be added to this.
Evaluation - is the VW Crafter suitable as a towing vehicle?: The automotive 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.
