Is the VW Golf also good for towing trailers? In order to answer this question many different aspects, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With a maximum towing capacity of 1900 kg, this automobile does not have to hide. So you can also pull a horse trailer or a medium-sized caravan.
The torque is at the VW Golf decisive for acceleration even under load - the more torque the better!

. Torque is available at 420 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 car distributes the power over all four wheels.
