  1. Classic VW Beetle / Bug Forum
    I'm considering towing a 1975 Super Beetle from Virginia to Florida. I can only pull a "half dolly" - two wheels attached, two wheels on the road. Uhaul says to disconnect the drivetrain, but I've seen a lot of internet advice saying it's not necessary. Any advice?
  2. Atlas Owners Club
    I purchased a SE R-Line Atlas two weeks ago. I traded in a 2018 Tiguan SE and have really enjoyed some of the different features. One critical feature I wanted was the towing capacity of the 3.6l v6. I towed a single axle trailer full of Scout equipment about 75 miles from home, including 17...
  3. Atlas Owners Club
    Picked up my 2021.5 Atlas Friday. I have to say, the horn is sad. Did VW buy up leftover horns from Labretta scooters circa 1973? First weekend I hauled a trailer up a fire road to a campsite. Atlas did fine in all aspects and made hauling a trailer very easy. I traded in a 2018 Tiguan and...

  5. Passat B7 Forums
    Hi, just joined in the hope of getting some information. I have a 2014 Passat Estate 2.0 TDI that I tow with. The manual says that the stop/start should be off when towing, but doesn't say why. I contacted VW for more explanation, and all they said was it's due to the extra weight and load...
