VW Bug

..This post had me curious, so I just checked - The VW beetle for 2013 is front wheel drive, NOT rear wheel. Just as they've been ever since Volkswagen first started building the modern version of the beetle in the 90s. You won't get a rear wheel drive beetle without going waaay back to the classic, old beetles.

I believe the OP just assumed it was rear wheel, since the old ones from way back when were that way. :)

Anyway, I'd have them check the owner's manual on the Beetle and see what it says, but I'm pretty sure you're not going to flat tow one of the new beetles, unless it has the manual transmission. Dolly is a definite possibility since its front wheel drive, but again, need to check owner's manual for it to be sure.

I know you could 4 down a 2000 Beetle with manual transmission - ran into a guy a few years ago with one setup. I have seen some newer ones, but not a 2012 or 2013.

Have not seen anyone with a 2013, but with the new body style, may not have a tow bar yet available.

Even my 66 and 74 (both original rear engine/trans style) you can 4 down with the right tow bars.

I did not know they changed them, Ihave never look close at the new ones, they probly did change them, guess i better go to town and look if i am going to try and help this guy out.

2013 bugs rear engine and drive? Really? Must be a brand new design, since they've been front engine and front drive since the New Beetle was introduced, what, back about 1990.

The original Beetle was rear engine/drive, and air cooled as well. I wonder if they've gone back to that, too. Dang, it's hard to keep up with automotive technology these days. I'll have to swing by the VW dealer and have a look at the newly redesigned Bug. I wonder what engine they put in it?
