wildebill308 Report post Posted February 24, 2016 Remco says yes. What does your owners manual say and what are the procedures. http://www.remcoindustries.com/Towing/Store.php Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfe10 Report post Posted February 24, 2016 Two issues here: The mechanical one. The "lawyer speak" from the manufacturer. VW has not officially endorsed flat towing any of their vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted February 25, 2016 Earlier today I saw a 1963 VW bus towing a 61' VW Beetle 4 down, that's a combo I have never seen before! Both painted white with blue/green Dolphins...nice! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfe10 Report post Posted February 25, 2016 The BIG horsepower race: 50 HP towing 40 HP. Or maybe the beetle was pushing as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted February 26, 2016 Yea. It was heading North on I-45, just shy of Hwy.6, I suspect it was someone from Save the Dolphins on Galveston Island! It was not moving fast with the North wind we had yesterday morning...24 gusting 30! I'm really surprised it was moving! Carl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hermanmullins Report post Posted February 26, 2016 Back around 68 or 69, my brother-in-law was coming to visit from Oklahoma. He was driving a 60 something VW. He was following a Simi and said it was shaking really bad. So he pulled out to pass the truck. He said the VW felt like it dropped an anchor. So much power.
