Well you’re not getting one

Well you’re not getting one

Thats fine.

Next time Ive got stuff to share that I paid for and gave to you for free dont bother asking.

[Simonr23]

I don’t understand what you mean, sorry. I may have forgotten something (I have a crap memory) but what have you bought and given to me before?

[iDiesel]

Well according to the PDF from VW AUS I found, it says this TIGUAN 132-162

Up to 2 in front row 200kg
Up to 2 in each row 100kg
Up to 5 (132) 70kg (162) 60kg

So perhaps YOUR link is different and it is as Your figures are for an ALLSPACE

which is here Tiguan Allspace

This has to be the stupidest towing ball weight conditions I have ever read!
WTF VW!
WTF?

[Simonr23]

Agreed 100%. It must be max vehicle weight related(gvm)

2 sumo wrestlers, 200kg, but 5 17yo female gymnasts, only 60/70kgs.

Brilliant.

I think they had to get some way to allow 200Kg to stave off potential legal issues around specifications.

Opens up questions like, what about 2 people in front, rear seats folded down and loaded up with camping gear etc.?

Ok scratch that I thought you were one of the ones who I gave the service manuals to but see it was about the dashcams for which i was grateful

Is similar but more severe than Nissan had for Patrols and in fact still do

[iDiesel]

Ok, so family holiday, 100kg max looks like it...

My opinion of vw has changed sooo much since becoming an owner. I really thought they were a cut above the Japanese brands in detail and quality. But they’re worse!

My camper has about 140kg towball weight. If me and the wife camp, we’re fine. And since there’s no mention of gvm, I can also transport 1 cubic metre of lead in the boot...
