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

Is the VW Touareg also good for towing trailers? In order to answer this issue the automobile 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 this automobile, 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).
For the VW Touareg gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. 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.

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

Evaluation - is the VW Touareg suitable as a towing vehicle?: The automobile 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.
