Recommended Flat Towing Components For Flat Towing A 2010 Volkswagen GTI  

Question:

I have a 2022 Travato 2021 Promaster 3500 and a 2010 VW GTI 337 MK IV Manual Transmission. What would I need to flat tow the VW? Can you give me a detailed estimate listing all components? Do you have installers listed for the Littleton Denver Colorado area? Thank you.

Before purchasing anything you'll want to read your owners manual to ensure that your vehicle is capable of being flat towed. This information can typically be found in the "Recreational Vehicle Towing" or "Emergency Towing" section of your owners manual. If your GTI is capable of being flat towed then you'll need a tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, baseplate, braking system, and safety cables.

If you have an Autobahn package then you'll have to dolly tow your GTI with a dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes # DM9713045.

For non Autobahn models you'll need the following:

Tow Bar # e44ZR. This will also come with safety cables so you won't need to purchase them separately.
Baseplate # 521235-1.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit # TL21RK.
Braking System: HM39524. This system comes with a charge line kit to prevent your vehicle battery from draining while you tow.
