Weight

  • The towing limit of the Volkswagen is more than sufficient (check this in your vehicle documents).
  • If you passed your driving test after 1 January 1997, you will need a B+E driving license.
  • Weight ratio between the laden caravan and the loaded car is 61%. Common in the UK: the weight ratio between the laden caravan and the kerbweight of the car is 67%.
  • The chance of snaking is small even at higher speeds.
  • Recommended noseweight is 80 kg.
  • Stability and safety score to compare is 211 points.

If the caravan starts to snake you should reduce your speed and slow down directly! Lift your feet off the accelerator and brake gradually. Hold the steering wheel into a fixed position.

Conclusion

  • Performance is very good.
  • Safe driving is possible.
  • It's a perfect match!

 

Influence of User Payload on stability

Weight distribution and noseweight are vital in obtaining a stable caravan.

Distribute the User Payload by yourself in the caravan and the car and then find out the stability rating of your loading configuration.

User Reviews

Nik reviewed a Volkswagen Touareg TDI 3.0 V6 aut.:

"Fantastic towcar. I've towed previously with Landrover Disco's , Mercedes E220 and BMW 520 and the VW Touareg is by far the best towcar. Totally stable whilst towing and the auto gearbox is relaxing for the driver. The car's power enables towing at 60mph generally in either 8th or 7th gear for hills. We get 27mpg around town solo, around 36mpg on a run maintaining around 65mph and generally get 23 to 25 mpg whilst towing. "
