You want to use the VW Passat 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 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.

However, this advertisement does not yet include trailer hitch and must be separately ordered.
