vehicles made after 2011
have a minimum nose weight of 180 kg and a maximum nose weight of 180 kg.
What does nose weight mean?
Nose weight is the force on the towball when a caravan or trailer is attached. Every towbar for every vehicle will have a specific nose weight for that vehicle which can differ between the age of the vehicle and the variation of the model. It is crucial that you don’t exceed the nose weight set on the towbar as this is dangerous and can decrease stability when towing.
Volkswagen Amarok PickUp(All variants) Electric Kits
Electrical kits connect the electrics in your PickUp(All variants) to the electrics on your trailer, bike rack or caravan so your lights are still visible.
Electric kits for Volkswagen Amarok PickUp(All variants)
We would always recommend having a dedicated electrics kit installed, where possible. This syncs with modern computer functions of your PickUp(All variants), like ABS and trailer stability, rather than just basic lighting.
Why is a dedicated kit important? Well, not only does it work with the specific features of your vehicle, but it also protects the warranty of your PickUp(All variants) and works with any enhanced safety features you may have.
Of course, you can choose between a dedicated kit or a universal kit, and we do offer both, but a universal electrical kit can affect your manufacturer warranty and you might also need to install a bypass relay.
We will alert you as to whether your PickUp(All variants) requires a software update when you choose your towbar electrics kit.
Does my vehicle need a software update?
Sometimes your vehicle may need a software update to accommodate your new dedicated electrical kit. This is so all of the latest computer features in your PickUp(All variants) can accurately co-ordinate with your towbar electrics.
Software updates can take place at your local Volkswagen dealership when your vehicle is in for service. Or, this can sometimes be updated at your local garage when you arrange towbar fitting through WebFit.

Does my vehicle need a bumper cut?
Some towbar styles might require a bumper cut in order to be fitted to your vehicle. But, this is improving and newer vehicles are less likely to require a bumper cut due to better towbar designs.

have a towing capacity of 3200 kg to 3200 kg.
Be sure to check the EXACT towing capacity of your vehicle before towing on your VIN plate.

Towing capacity is the weight that your PickUp(All variants) is capable of towing safely, but it can vary even across the same model of car. It is important to note that the capacity of the towbar and the towing capacity of the PickUp(All variants) may differ, so you should always go by the specific towing weight of your vehicle, indicated above.
