Interesting. So why are the US ratings so much lower, or sometimes not even stated? Liability?

As for the passat, I was overweight on the tongue, but I kept a very close watch on it.
The Airbags made a HUGE difference and for anyone that tow's I would highly recommend them.
Take a look here at the towing ratings...
