i was in my 2wd velle, with a twin wheel trailer and a doka on the trailer...
i have also done the same tow witha hightop camper on the trailer....
make sure when you load them on to the trailer that you put it on in reverse because of the wieght of the engine and box in the back....if you dont the ass end of the trailer becomes to heavy and you get what happened to rowsley..snaking.. Edited by kooldubs - 19 Jan 11 at 20:34 |

Hi,
I'm new here and I know this is an old fred, but it is possible to pull up to 2.500 kg legally with a T3 syncro. Volkswagen permitted this for some Syncros at least (I could provide VWs technical specs (German version) , but I don't seem to be able to attach them here). With this as a reference, quite a few syncro-drivers here in Germany (including me ) have been able to officially upgrade to 2,5 tons. I always thought technical regulations were less strict in GB so why shouldn't it work there? Greetings André |

anyway im now happy with putting a t3 behind my syncro and will be doing so in the future, the"G" gear is very handy with a trailer in tow as there is no need to fry the clutch setting off, and the t3 is a cabable tow vehicle if a little underpowered in standard form..

Christoph Boltze provided us with the Volkswagen documents in the IG16" Forum. Here's the link to the 18 Page document: http://www.vwpix.org/zip/AHK-Freigabe.zip
It's zipped, and on the last page you'll find a table with the syncros that were permitted to tow 2500 kg - hope it helps. Greets, André |

Reading this post I thought I would find out exactly what I can tow. I have a VW T3 caravelle 1990
on your vehicle you have a plate with the GVW (gross vehicle weight laden) mine is 2400 kilos and you have a MAM (Maximum authorised mass) which is 3900 kilos it will give you the axle maximum weights as well for mine its front 1200 kilos rear 1300 kilos. I have just taken my vehicle to a weigh bridge and my vehicle weighs 1790 kilo's which means I can tow a trailer and load of 2110 kilo's as a combined weight to make up my maximum of 3900 kilos. the next thing you need to understand is the towing laws have changed if you hold a licence before 1997 you will have grandfather rights on your licence and you will be able to tow a trailer of over 750 kilos if not you can only tow a trailer of max 750 kilo's unless you take a test to add the E part to your licence there are also maximum lengths and weights associated with any trailer which can be found on the VOSA and DLA websites. as a class 1 licence holder I wish you all happy and legal towing. |
