Looking at this a bit differently.

That car was a 40-45MPG car to start with. What are the odds it still gets 30++ towing?

If I was going to go that I'd be building a frame on the frame that ended just under ther roof, still the brakes and suspension would not be up to the task.

Is that really a VW Passat? dont pay any attention to that foreign crap

Pictures show it might be a Toerag, Tourag

Well the roof of vw's are strong enough that a roll over doesn't crush them lol. Where's the whole "you can't, it won't, you'll kill everyone on the highway" crowd??
