VW Tiguan II 2.0 TDI SCR Highline 4MOTION DSG (7-Gang) - Towing vehicle

Can the VW Tiguan also be used as a towing vehicle? 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 towing capacity of 2500 kg, the VW Tiguan is a real workhorse. For him, there is hardly anything that you can not pull, at most a full-grown sailboat.
The torque is at the VW Tiguan decisive for acceleration even under load - the more torque the better!

. 500 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration. 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.

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

Evaluation - is the VW Tiguan suitable as a towing vehicle?: The car can pull trailers with up to 2500 kg own weight . It can thereby be set to a maximum torque of 500 Nm access. The VW Tiguan 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.
