Tow bar and towing limit
I have a removeable tow bar I purchased from Seat and it works well. As already stated the tow limit on the literature states 1400KG. I have read that Seat upgraded the Freetrack in about April 2008 so its limits were increased to 1650KG. The problem I have had is finding out when it was manufactured. Seat tell me they don't have the info as mine, one of the last 3 to be sold was originally ordered for the French market in RH drive mode. Have not got any further with info. In reality if you stick to the recommended max towing limit of 85% of the kerb weight it is slightly under the 1400KG limit anyway.
This car makes a very good tow vehicle with the diesel engine. 4WD makes a big difference when the conditions get slippy with all that weight on the back end.
