Can the VW Crafter also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this topic many different aspects, 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.
The torque is at the VW Crafter decisive for acceleration even under load - the more torque the better!. 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 motor vehicle distributes the power over all four wheels.
The basic prerequisite - the trailer hitch - is given, because a corresponding device is already included in this offer.
Evaluation - is the VW Crafter suitable as a towing vehicle?: The vehicle can be trailers with enormous 3000 kg pull own weight . 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.
