My Tiguan has arrived and this is my experience so far

I went through the rating issue when I was purchasing and couldn't really get a straight answer. My rating plate for my MY20 162TSI R-line shows tongue download of 200kg. If they call me up to say it'll be downgraded, that will be a huge issue for me.

It should be in the specs at rear of your manual is in mine

Mine (my18.5 allspace) has it listed as only 200kg- on body of car, tow bar and in the manual.

Just had a look in the 'Supplement to Owner's Manual' which shows maximum tongue loading of 200kg with 2 occupants and 100kg with 4 occupants.

750kg unbraked.
2500kg braked.
GCM 4,760KG

Correct that was the new standard after all the kerfuffle about reduced to 100kg rating on the 5 seater

The Allspace has always been 200kg
