Just looking at the club magazine towcar review of the VW T-Roc along with the TCOTY report in the 1100-1300Kg capacity thinking it might tow my van and now I am confused.
Here are the figures quoted in the reviews as tested : kerbweight 1358Kg, GVW 1850Kg, GTW 2858Kg VW max tow weight 1500Kg my van weight MTPLM 1154Kg . presumably GTW - GVW = legal tow weight = 1008Kg
In order to Tow my van legally do I have to de-rate the maximum car load by 146Kg? Have I made an error?
Or have the Club made an error, or VW or is it just a misleading review? Just a note that on previous cars that I have owned the maximum towing limit =GTW- GVW so it all adds up nicely.
