2022 Volkswagen SUVs by Towing

However, Arlington VW buyers know the answer to “can Volkswagen SUVs tow?” They know that the VW SUV tow ratings are equipped for family drivers and weekend warriors alike. If you’re asking “which VW can tow the most?” here’s your answer:

VW ID.4 Towing Capacity

The electric SUV from VW, the ID.4, came out in 2021 and it’s already made major waves in Springfield. You can get 2,200 pounds8 of towing capacity when you pick the rear-wheel drive trim, while the all-wheel drive trim upgrades you to a pretty solid 2,700 pounds4 of towing capacity.

VW Taos Towing Capacity
