@olderman1 research is something I always do but the need for towing is retrospective so was never factored in. Decided to sell it and it will be gone on Wednesday, as you mentioned any changes almost definitely won’t apply 👍🏻

@olderman1 the assumption was that it was the additional weight of the seats and the battery … but then they upgraded the entire range including the VRS with no technical modifications whatsoever 🤷🏻‍♂️ it’s all very odd and currently even Skoda UK can’t really confirm it either way. With the inflated used car market I can trade the VRS in for 2k more than I bout it for but I’m reluctant to do so as it’s only the nose weight which is forcing the upgrade. very aware of the legal aspect of things which is why I’m desperately trying to find out but so far I’ve found 4 different values quoted for the vehicle which makes things a little confusing 😂😂

Yea I’m awardee I’m going to be stuck with the towing weight due to the stated GTW but the poor nose weight is the biggest killer for me 😞 The stamped “s” weight is fine but the manufacturers recommended is very low, and has since been updated with no technical reason.

Hi, my my2019 VRS has a max towing weight of 1750 and a woefully low nose weight of 70kg on the factory fitted tow bar (mine is actually stamped 100kg). In my2020 Skoda updated the entire range to be 2000kg max towing weight and a 100kg nose weight. No one seems to be sure why other than it’s a re assessment. Does anyone know if this was a general re assessment not involving technical changes and if so can the new nose weight be back ported to the my19 models? Whenever I ask Skoda they quote the higher limits but then when I point out the original limits they scratch their heads, I’ve tried escalating it to skoda uk and they said they would respond in 5 days 10 days ago 🤦🏻‍♂️
