hi Connie,
interesting info, I have no doubt the Golf has the power to pull a M15.
We had the TDI model which had plenty of low end power. I think anything larger would
be a challenge for a small car.
I also towed the M15 with an old Toyota Cressida Wagon, straight 6 cy, back wheel
drive. It did fine, too bad they don't offer that model here anymore.
take care

Hi Greta and Randy,
In years gone by, VW said "No towing" with the GOLF in their
specifications.
I contacted my friend in Munich, Germany and asked what are the towing
specs for a GOLF in Germany?
They FAXed me back a spec sheet from VW with the various allowable towing
weights for various GOLF / engine combinations. i.e., in Germany you can
tow: in the USA you can't tow!
My presumption is that VWoA lawyers said, write No Towing in the
specifications and warranty, and then if anyone tows with a GOLF, and has
a problem, you can't be sued.
My Munich friend is hauling a horse trailer - with her horse - up and
down Germany and across the Alps with her diesel powered GOLF. Nuf
said......! Of course, the trailer has brakes.
I feel perfectly comfortable hauling an M15 with my Jetta (and formerly
with my GTI) but hauling an M17 is stretching it a bit.
Connie
