Europe vs USA - Why Are Tow Ratings So Different?

video description

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2

Why does the same model tow more when it's sold in Europe? In a nutshell: speed limits and tongue weight. Want the detailed answer? Check this out. Jeffrey: I think all pick-ups should be required to be factory wired for trailer lighting and brakes. Trucks are one of the most durable goods and very likely in its lifecyle to be used for trailering. Factory installed standardized, no manufature having a proprietary system, would add utility and safety for everone on the road.

Lol speaking of golfs. With that in mind. I use the euro guide lines and specs for my vehicles. Otherwise my gsw can't tow a thing. according to my local dealer. Yet in Europe my wagon can tow close to 4k lbs. My suggestion is to use common sense. drive like a semi truck. keep big following distance, pre trip your vehicle and trailer. Drive like a grandma. And above all. don't exceed your vehicles curb weight without trailer brakes.

It makes zero sense that models sharing exactly the same platform, engine and transmission get completely different tow ratings depending on the bodystyle in the US.
