im looking for advice, in the process of buying high liner Kimbo sag 204, sales rep assured me it will pull my caravan , it is 2000 kg. Just need to know if it will up hills, my present vechicle I bought last year new, struggles. Thanks for any reply’s in advance. Don’t want to pay out again if it is not fit for purpose.

Kombi dsg it should read lol
 
We have a T32 TDi 204 DSG......

and while we don't pull a caravan or trailer we are fully loaded at about 3.2ton total weight and have no problems with power.

Gear ratios are spot on for a 7 speed box and the engine power has more than enough tourqe.

heres some official bumf . . . . .


VW Transporter T6 towing capacity
Unbraked towing capacity on all T6 Transporters is 750kg.

Braked towing capacity ranges from 1,800kg to 2,500kg on SWB panel van models, and from 2,200kg to 2,500kg on LWB panel van models.

Kombi models range from 2,200kg to 2,500kg braked, regardless of bodylength.


VW Transporter T6 SWB panel van payload ratings
GVW model Official VW payload Payload + 75kg
T26 715kg 790kg
T27 836kg 911kg
T28 768-917kg 843-992kg
T30 968-1,117kg 1,043-1,192kg
T32 1,043-1,271kg 1,118-1,346kg
VW Transporter T6 LWB panel van payload ratings
GVW model Official VW payload Payload + 75kg
T28 745-860kg 820-935kg
T30 912-1.060kg 987-1,135kg
T32 987-1,244kg 1,062-1,319kg


As with all vans, exact payload amounts will vary with trim level, engine type and fitted equipment.

Kombi models - which are available in T30 and T32 variants only - have approximately 100kg less payload capacity than the equivalent panel van.

Thanks very much, dellmassive. Just want to be 100% sure this time. I have a heavy touring caravan and could not believe how poor my current 4x4 is was told it would pull 3.5 tonne . Brochures said the same but it is very poor. Thanks again
 
Hi I have a t32 204 dsg and it pulls my twin axle 2000kg caravan fine, tho I did have it remapped to around 240ish bhp just to help it a bit more lol @Spitfire
 
Those vans are well nice....

Wish I had the driveway length to keep one on the drive =(
 
Since being remapped mine eats hills but it’s absolutely fine in standard form (204) but defo wouldn’t want to go any lower than that in bhp
Don’t be silly @Spitfire im the worlds worst for asking questions lol
 
No problem at all with hills, just came back from the Brecon beacons lots of hills and rain the van coped easily with it all :)
