VW Golf VIII  Variant 2.0 TSI Style 4MOTION DSG

You want to use the VW Golf 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 a maximum towing capacity of 1700 kg, this automobile does not have to hide. So you can also pull a horse trailer or a medium-sized caravan.
torque affects the VW Golf how much the trailer load affects acceleration. Torque is available at 320 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 deal does not yet include trailer coupling and must be added to this.
