Bike racks and towbar max load

[apforrest]

Hi all,

Can someone clear up what the max load is for the towbar that comes fitted from VW on the T6.1? I see mixed responses across the forums.

I'd like to get Atera STRADA DL 3 with the extension for the 4th bike but concerned it's going to be over the limit; whatever the limit is.

I found the following in the manual which talks of load capacities being between 55kg and 75kg, but then I also see others on the forum saying 100kg.

Any clarity/definitive answer and/or explanation will help much.

Thanks

I’ve had it confirmed from a VW dealership that, “The carrying capability of the towbar is 60Kg.”
