Default Towing with a VW

Hello,

What are peoples opinions regarding towing a Russia AC4C with an
aluminum skinned trailer with a VW diesel beetle? The diesel engine
has plenty of torque. I have have towed my boat which is 1200 lbs
with the trailer and I have not had any problems. I would be towing
quite far on the highways.

Thanks


- I towed an ASW19 with Seat Toledo 1.9TDi - same engine, heavier
car; with speeds up to 140KMH/85 MPH with absolutely no problems. Fuel
consumption goes up significantly, that's all.

Cheers
