I have towed Rabbit and Jettas with our vans - even with a 1.5L I4 installed
once!  Pulling isn't the hard part - STOPPING is the fun.  Make sure you
have GOOD brakes if you are pulling something big like this.  I do seem to
recall somewhere that 700kg is the maximum unbreaked and 1200kg is the max
with trailer brakes.

Can I tow with an 82 Vanagon?  I only want to tow a motorcycle on trailer.
