The T-Roc does not come with a tow hook and requires aftermarket installation. T-Roc body dimensions: The T-Roc measures 4318mm in length, 1819mm in width, and 1582mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. It is a compact SUV with a front track of 1542mm, rear track of 1543mm, minimum ground clearance of 152mm, and a curb weight of 1385kg. T-Roc powertrain: The 2020 T-Roc is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine producing 150PS of maximum horsepower, 250Nm of peak torque, and 110kW of maximum power, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a Volkswagen SUV, many T-Roc models can indeed be equipped with a tow hook, though not all versions come with it as standard. Having driven for many years, I find tow hooks quite practical—especially for seasoned drivers like me who frequently go camping or haul items. In higher trims or optional packages of the T-Roc, front or rear tow hooks are available, and installation is straightforward, typically the screw-fixed type. It’s handy for towing small trailers to transport bikes or luggage. The T-Roc’s towing capacity is decent, with the official recommendation not exceeding around 1.5 tons—use it within your means. If buying a new car, it’s best to ask the dealer directly about this option. Also, remember to regularly check if the hook is loose to avoid safety hazards, which is crucial for long-term use. Overall, the T-Roc handles light towing tasks quite well.
