VW Passat B8 Variant GTE DSG - Towing vehicle

Can the VW Passat also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this issue 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.

The maximum towing capacity of this cars is given as 1600 kg and is thus quite sufficient for the "normal consumer". You can pull a small caravan with it, and also sometimes the moving trailer.
torque affects the VW Passat how much the trailer load affects acceleration. Torque is available at 400 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 - a trailer hitch - is given, because a corresponding device is already included in this deal.
