driving in 8% inclines

Post by rrrroos »

Hi all.
I want to know if we'll be driving uphill towing a trailer with our 2006 Polo.

We're driving to Turkey. Some of the roads might be an 8% incline. We have a small box trailer (unbraked) with about 350kg load in it, some load in the car itself, and we're with 3 people, so about 160kg.

Just wondering if the car will be ok going up 8% hills? Or if we need to find an alternative route....

Thanks
