Can a Volkswagen Touareg tow
a Supreme Caravans Executive?

7L V6 3.2 (162kW) / V6 Luxury (2003), checked against the manufacturer's published figures.

Close to the limits

The Supreme Caravans Executive's published ATM of 3,200kg sits 300kg under the Volkswagen Touareg's 3,500kg braked towing rating.

The Supreme Caravans Executive would sit above the Volkswagen Touareg's 140kg towball rating at a ball weight of 10% of ATM. That is our estimate, not a published figure. Ask the manufacturer for theirs.

Important checks

  • The Supreme Caravans Executive would put 180kg more on the towball than the Volkswagen Touareg is rated to carry. That uses an estimated ball weight of 320kg, which is 10% of ATM rather than a published figure.
  • We could not run the GCM check for this pairing - that is the combined weight of the loaded car and caravan together. The Volkswagen Touareg's compliance plate or owner's manual carries its GCM figure.

This is a guide off the makers' published figures.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van. Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.

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.

Where the published weights sit close together, how you pack changes what the scales say. Heavy items ride best low down and over the caravan's axles, and whatever sits on the towball is carried by the car rather than by the van.
