VW Passat B8 Variant 2.0 TDI SCR Elegance DSG - Towing vehicle

You want to use the VW Passat also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this topic the automobile 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 2000 kg, this car does not have to hide. So you can also pull a horse trailer or a medium-sized caravan.
torque affects the VW Passat how much the trailer load affects acceleration. Torque is available at 360 Nm, which is already a decent value and guarantees that you won't have any problems getting off the mark as a rule.

The basic prerequisite - the trailer hitch - is given, because a corresponding device is already included in this deal.

Evaluation - is the VW Passat suitable as a towing vehicle?: The car pulls ordinary 2000 kg . It can thereby be set to a maximum torque of 360 Nm access. The VW Passat is therefore very suitable for just about all typical towing loads in the private sector. Horse trailers with one horse (or two if necessary) are no problem. Please note that you may need a driver's license B96 or even BE / class 3 here.
