General 2.4L AWD maximum tow?

I had to rescue an old Audi A4 once with my previous car and there's a chance I may need to do that again at some point, so I want to know my options and be prepared just in case.

I was using a rope, with a person operating the towed vehicle, so that's what I was thinking to do.

Well as this is your hopefully unlikely intent then GO FOR IT. She will actually pull like a train.

All I would add is that you check your local regulations.

Just to add a little "spice" when my sister was a Florida Deputy Sheriff then for my 50th birthday (she and her sergeant) sent me a lovely set off genuine but unofficial arrest documents and wrist band etc. Offence was "Coasting Down Hill In Neutral" (an offence in Florida). Apparently I did not resist arrest and the finger and palm prints in the lovely wrap sheet are those of my sister. Could not ask for more for a surprise 50th present.

She tells me I can visit the US/Florida with no issues but have yet to "test" the water.
 
Check your VIN Plate in the front passenger door B post (UK)

You will find 4 kg weighs

Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM) often called Train Weight
Kerb Weight / Unladen Weight.
1 - Front Axle Max load
2 - Rear Axle Max load

Subtract to Kerb Weight from the MTPLM to get the MAXIMUM legally towable weight.

Note. Kerb Weight does not include driver or fuel unless specified. For the 500X the kerb weight excludes driver, all optional accessories but include 90% full fuel tank (UK). Driver, passengers, loggage, weight of tow bar etc. will have to be deducted as well.

IMPORTANT! I don't know why the manuals do not list a towable weight for the 2.4 Tiger Shark but do for the other models, but it could be that Fiat do not recommend towing with the Autobox



I found mine (eventually [emoji23]) I appear to have the abbreviated version but I can just about make sense of it IMG_3050.JPG
