Can a Volkswagen Touareg tow
a Goldstream RV Tandem Axle Caravan Series?

CR (V6 Diesel) (2019), checked against the manufacturer's published figures.

Close to the limits

The Goldstream RV Tandem Axle Caravan Series's published ATM of 3,350kg sits 150kg under the Volkswagen Touareg's 3,500kg braked towing rating.

Figures are the manufacturer's published ratings, checked 24 January 2026.

Possible, but close to the limits

Loaded to its published ATM, the Goldstream RV Tandem Axle Caravan Series uses all but 150kg of what the Volkswagen Touareg is rated to tow, so there is little room left for what you pack.

This is a guide off published figures, not a compliance check.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.

The figures above are the Volkswagen Touareg's and the Goldstream RV Tandem Axle Caravan Series's as their makers publish them, set against each other the same way an inspector would: loaded weight against braked towing rating, ball weight against towball rating.

Always check your compliance plate

Online databases use factory-standard specs. They don't know about your bullbar (adds weight), suspension upgrades (can change GCM), or how much you're carrying.

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.

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 comes out of its payload, not just the driver.
  • • Tow ball mass: this comes out of your car's payload, not just your towing limit.

Always weigh your rig fully loaded.

Where to get it weighed, and what the ticket tells you.

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

Improve your stability

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

Check another combination

Treat this as a guide off published figures, not a compliance check.The legal numbers are the compliance plates on your car and the van, and where we do not hold a published ball weight we estimate it at 10% of ATM.Weigh the loaded rig at a public weighbridge to know for sure, then read the ticket.

Every figure here describes the two vehicles as they left the factory. Yours has a history since then, and the plates on it are what that history gets measured against.
