Can a Skoda Karoq tow
an Adria Action?

110TSI / Sportline (2018), checked against the manufacturer's published figures.

Close to the limits

The Adria Action's published ATM of 1,400kg sits 100kg under the Skoda Karoq's 1,500kg braked towing rating.

The Adria Action would sit above the Skoda Karoq's 90kg towball rating at a ball weight of 10% of ATM. That is our estimate, not a published figure. Ask the manufacturer for theirs.

Inside the published limits, and close to them

At its published ATM the Adria Action is 100kg inside what the Skoda Karoq is rated to tow.

Important checks

  • The Adria Action would put 50kg more on the towball than the Skoda Karoq is rated to carry. That uses an estimated ball weight of 140kg, which is 10% of ATM rather than a published figure.

Always check your compliance plate

Online databases use factory-standard specs. They do not know about the bullbar on your car, a suspension upgrade, or how much you are carrying. Each one changes your real limits.

How to find it

Open your passenger or driver door. Look for a silver or black metal plate riveted to the pillar. This plate overrides everything you read online.

Where the plate is and how to read it

Why the numbers move once you load up

The figure most often left out of the sum is payload, which is everything you add after the vehicles leave the factory.

  • Bullbar and winch: both add weight to the front of the car, and it comes out of your payload.
  • Passengers: everyone in the car, including the driver, comes out of its payload.
  • Ball weight: the weight the van puts on the towball comes out of your car's payload as well as its towing limit.

Work out what this van is allowed to carry, then check the figures before you pack it.

Always weigh your rig fully loaded.

This pairing is inside the published ratings, with not much room left.

Gear for a van close to your limits

The published weights sit close together here. A weight distribution hitch moves some of the towball load onto the car's front axle, which is where the ball weight takes it from.

These are factory figures for a standard vehicle. A bullbar, a winch, a second battery or a full water tank all come out of what you have left to carry.
