How much does your Passat weigh? If the van is under 75%, AND has good electric brakes, then you could rebalance it down to 80kg which would still be above 5%.

Psssat about 1800kgs but has a higher towing rating than lower models due to it being the top.
Ok cool I'll look further into it. The bloody VW Tiguan has a higher rated towball weight and nowhere near as good for towing.
Maybe I'm being overly cautious just never heard of this tow ball weight etc which basically ruins it's ability to tow anything (despite a pretty high braked capacity at 2200kg)
