LOL. I just looked up tongue weight max on a golf. 300 pounds. They're literally useless and dangerous for towing anything over 1000lbs.

All those Europeans towing with their small cars must just be my imagination then.

Seems like it. Or maybe you've no sense of scale, don't know what you're looking at. Max tongue weight like that, a person would nearly have to balance 3000 lbs on the trailer axle, 1800 front, 1200 rear or so. Recipe for a whipping trailer.
