t350 fwd towing?

Postby birdie » Sat Apr 25, 2015 12:52 pm

Hi guys, looking at buying a mk7 transit, I need to tow regularly so have been looking at the t350, I thought they were rwd, but have found a 350 FWD and was wondering if this will still have the same gtw as a rwd one, and if it will tow well? Any help greatly appreciated.

No they don't, and no it wont.
If you want to tow get a rwd.
