Hi All,
We've had our Tig now for a little over a month now and the wife and I are thinking of getting a boat. I understand that the Tig is rated for 2500Kgs. My question is how realistic is this figure.
Having visited a few boat yards the sales and service guys recommend that I don't tow anything over 1400Kg with the Tig. A bit confused. Is there a formula or rule of thumb for matching tow weight to vehicle?
I saw one caravan website suggest that drivers should not exceed 85% of vehicle GVM.
We upgraded our old Passat for this very reason (2500Kg tow capacity). I hope we didn't buy the wrong car.
Also, with regards to the 4Motion, has anyone had any issues with tigs on slippery steep inclines (like boat ramps) whilst towing?
Thanks in advance
