VW Cabrio

Recommended Posts

Thinking of buying a VW Cabrio to tow behind the motorhome. Its a 2001 5 speed manual. Anyone tow one of these?

Actually, the FMCA Towing Guide covers TWO criteria:

1. Is the vehicle towable 4 wheels down from a mechanical perspective.

2. Has the manufacturer deemed it towable (from a liability standpoint).

Most manual transmission VW's meet #1, but VW had made a decision to not deem them towable.

They are not the only company to do this-- Mazda comes to mind. Even when they shared models with Ford and the Ford was towable, Mazda Corp said NO.

That's why I said I was guessing and why mentioned the towing guide. I cannot access the guide so you may have to go with your gut here if it is not officially supported.
