Default Re: Towing a Caravan - Mechanical strain etc

VW are obviously wasting their money on all those engineers they have, and instead should just be using random people's opinion on what a car should be able to handle.

End of the day you're still going to tow beyond what the car was designed for, and are just trying to find people to agree with you to justify your decision.

I'd trust hundreds of automotive engineers employed by one of the largest car companies, over someone's gut instinct. And If anything their engineers push the boundaries more than others.

If it was a Toyota you could probably say it was too conservative, but VW...
