VW Touareg III 3.0 V6 TDI SCR 4MOTION Tiptronic - Towing vehicle

Can the VW Touareg also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this issue many different aspects, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With this car, thanks to the maximum towing capacity of 3500 kg, you can tow virtually anything that wants to be towed privately (caravan, horse trailer, boat) or professionally (larger machines, heavy material).
torque affects the VW Touareg how much the trailer load affects acceleration. 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 automobile distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this deal does not yet include trailer coupling and must be separately ordered.

Evaluation - is the VW Touareg suitable as a towing vehicle?: The automotive draws enormous 3500 kg . The whole is pulled by the strong 500 Nm Torque - that sounds like a lot, it is, the VW Touareg is a born towing vehicle. Horse trailers with one horse (possibly two) are no problem, also large (luxury) caravans or smaller excavators and other heavy equipment. Please note that you may need a driving license B96 or even BE / class 3 here.
