Dry weight dilemma ... from my vehicle manufacturer

First, I'm new to this whole process, but plan to take an extended road trip later this year. I will be traveling solo and I'm perfectly comfortable with minimal amenities. With that said, here's (one of) the early questions I've run into, and I can't get a definitive answer to a VERY IMPORTANT question.

I have a 2010 Golf TDI-standard transmission, which is a fuel-injected turbo diesel. It has lots of torque and plenty of power (as compared to a straight gas model).

I’m looking at small, light-weight camping trailers now available and have come across conflicting information.

My owners manual says the vehicle is rated to tow up to 1,000 lbs.
However, in Europe, (including the UK), the same car is rated up to 725 kilograms - which is 1600 lbs, obviously a significant difference (60%) I’ve also come across reviews, articles and forum posts that list TDI models as being the best towing vehicle for its size in the UK. So my question is ... what explains the difference. I have written (and called) VW-USA and although they're friendly enough, all they will say is that "there's a difference in the 2 vehicles". When I ask for specifics I get basically corporate stonewalling.

I have no desire or intention of “maxing out” what I will tow. In fact, I'm focused on keeping the trailer as light as possible. However, the 60% difference is confusing. Does anyone know if there IS a difference between the European and USA versions of the vehicle? If so, what exactly is it?

Horsepower?
Engine size (displacement)?
Breaking system?
Suspension?
Is it an emissions issue?
Bottom line is, all I'm trying to find out is can my US golf pull up to 1000 or up to 1600 pounds?

I will be traveling solo and I'm perfectly comfortable with minimal amenities. With that said, here's (one of) the early questions I've run into, and I can't get a definitive answer to a VERY IMPORTANT question.

I have a 2010 Golf TDI-standard transmission, which is a fuel-injected turbo diesel. It has lots of torque and plenty of power (as compared to a straight gas model).

I’m looking at small, light-weight camping trailers now available and have come across conflicting information.

My owners manual says the vehicle is rated to tow up to 1,000 lbs.
However, in Europe, (including the UK), the same car is rated up to 725 kilograms - which is 1600 lbs, obviously a significant difference (60%) I’ve also come across reviews, articles and forum posts that list TDI models as being the best towing vehicle for its size in the UK. So my question is ... what explains the difference. I have written (and called) VW-USA and although they're friendly enough, all they will say is that \"there's a difference in the 2 vehicles\". When I ask for specifics I get basically corporate stonewalling.

I have no desire or intention of “maxing out” what I will tow. In fact, I'm focused on keeping the trailer as light as possible. However, the 60% difference is confusing. Does anyone know if there IS a difference between the European and USA versions of the vehicle? If so, what exactly is it?

Horsepower?
Engine size (displacement)?
Breaking system?
Suspension?
Is it an emissions issue?
Bottom line is, all I'm trying to find out is can my US golf pull up to 1000 or up to 1600 pounds?

X2. Definitely figure on gross weights, not dry weights.

Do you know your car's GCWR? You'll need to know that. Your occupants, coolers, lunch, how much gas in the tank, floor mats, all that will take away from the GCWR.

At that weight range you're either going to be in a fiberglass teardrop or a fabric pop-up. Another option: A Harbor Freight trailer loaded up with an ordinary tent and all the comforts of home.

I doubt the decision on whether or not to sue after an at-fault accident will be based on if the tow ratings are exceeded. To prove negligence one would have to be grossly over the rating, not a few hundred pounds.

Whether or not you are sued depends on how deep your pockets are.


A few hundred lbs won't make much of a difference between 8000 to 8600...but from 1000 to 1600 is a big difference. On the verger of twice the weight.

US vs Europe: Why different tow ratings.

Long piece but gets to the basic heart of the matter.
Europe uses a lower tongue weight (4-7%) and a lower tow speed to compensate for the instability of the low tongue weight. The US travels at higher road speeds and thus requires a 10-15% tongue weight to maintain stability.


No that does not explain it at all. We are not Europe, but you can tow at 65-70mph with a European Caravan. Problem is more the tiny load capacity and instability on uneven surfaces
