Just wonder if vr stato v6 can tow car trailer that have other vr stato v6 on it. If it can towing, what should l watch out for it and it will go on freeway about 1 hours and it have up hills too.

Many time tow a boat but not car trailer, so any advice would help cheers

u will be pulling another statesman/trailer weighing around 2200kgs or more and i think the highest towbar rating capacity for a vr/s commodore is 21000kgs my best advice will be to hire or borro a 4wd they have a 3 ton towing capacity and u dont have to worry about the law

If your Insistent on towing with the stato, it should be fine, just go slow and shift manually, and make sure it has a Trans cooler, otherwise it will eventually cook the tranny.
And make sure the trailer is loaded with 10-15% of the weight on the tow ball.
