VW says it can tow X amount, if the manufacturer says it can tow X then its within its capabilities. If anyone has had the misfortune of working with OE's then you'll realise their ridiculous requirements and safety margins they build into everything.
Insurance, Rego etc would be near 1.5K a year Franco.

Let alone being left stranded with an old 4wd if fails due to K's and age........

Thanks though, it might be best option (a previous great poster said uses a Jeep as "tow pig") but I can't afford an unreliable car on top of mine and if buy Caravan mate.
