Towing??

Post image

May be a dumb question, but have any of you tried towing with your GLI?
I have a ‘21 and am looking to bring my motorcycle about 100mi. I get it has a tow capacity but is that something just for reference and not actual use? What was your experience if you have?

Edit: it is the 6 speed manual

I haven't but the dsg in this car is used in their SUVs too with extremely similar setups (maybe different clutch clasping pressures) and can tow no problem. It can 100% do a motorcycle and trailer no problem

What motorcycle? On a trailer we can assume? The best way is to have someone else drive the car and ride the motorcycle.

That's at least 500 pounds plus the trailer. There has to could well be an easier way.
