VW hopes you’ll find its concept EVs to be ‘friendlier’ than past models.

    Not sure … but still it’s very very little. Not even the weight of a person!

    The drawbar load is commonly in that range. It needs to assured that there is still enough load on the front wheels for traction and steering under all circumstances. Even a 2.5 ton trailer can have a drawbar load of only 75 kg.

    The ID. Cross should be able to haul a 1,2 ton trailer.

      Ok great Thanks!

      Funny that they don’t mention that at all in the article!

        It seems like the author was confused, as the drawbar load and the weight of the trailer the car can haul are two separate things. It is correctly stated in the official press release of VW, which is probably their source. (see updated link in my above comment)
