You want to use the VW Tiguan also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this topic 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.
torque affects the VW Tiguan how much the trailer load affects acceleration. Torque is available at 320 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 automobile 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 320 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.
