hmmm

does it have good "pulling" power?

 :laugh:

maybe i am on the wrong track then!  :signLOL:

I already have the pulling power (and a car suitable towing)  :signLOL:

The Tiguan R will be the tow car when I purchase a trailer later in the year.

This new daily is to replace the Jetta  :jumpmove: :jumpmove:

Time to start some winter work on the project  :xmaspresent:

Question of the day, how many alloy wheels can you fit in a Polo GTI?





The answer is 9  :laugh: :laugh:

Roll on some more interesting colours  :stupid:

Lots more plans a foot so watch this space  :innocent:

Will you not be over the max towing weight of the tiguan when you have the car and trailer attached?

Max braked towing weight for the Tig is 2500kg's so it won't be an issue.

Everything I have read say towing around 85% of the tow cars weight is best practise, so I will be slightly over this but not by much  :smiley:
