Just started my caravan adventures and bought an Ace Morning Star 2006 and after some enquires with Westfalia for the Tow Hitch for my new Passat Estate Gte.
I was first alarmed at the response from the Market leading and Vw Supplier saying that Hybrids cannot tow
Where in fact the Passat can TOW 1625KGS comfortably and over the mountain range over the Beacons from Aberbach site this weekend achieving 37mpg after charging from my caravans outside plug overnight on a 10 amp setting.
The Hybrid tows quiet comfortable on pure electric or if you need Power just put in GTE MODE or Hybrid.
Once you have used the electric from the battery's and the overnight charge the car will make its own electricity and still be able to use GTE MODE 220bhp.
So don't believe all the old school that Hybrids cannot Tow .
FOSSIL FUEL WONT LAST FOREVER PLUS BIK SO MUCH BETTER FOR THE TIME BEING
For Reference detach-able Tow Hitch Supplied and fitted By RETRO in Neuanton inc software and Vehicle specific electrics total £570, much cheaper than local prices of £770.
Moderator Comment - Taff I have moved this to Towcars in the Discussion Area as I think more people will see it there.
