Hi there!
I'm new on the forum and I will receive my Golf SportWagen TDi 2010 (named Jetta Sportwagen in usa) in few weeks.
A hidden hitch will be installed and I would like to know how much this car can pull. I searched on the web and on the forum and it seems like it could only pull 1000 lbs (or 1650 lbs depending on the threads I've read?).
I know that some people pull a lot more. But what really says the manual? Is this limitation du to power engine or others limitations (brakes, transmission, etc.)? If the trailer has brakes, can we could pull more? Is this information provided in the manual?
I don't want to pull 5000 lbs but considering the weight of a trailer, 1000 lbs is not much.
Thanks for your help
