To me it sounds like one of the trick questions in school. I however will take a guess assuming I am understanding what your asking, and say the weight is the same but yor resistance may have changed. Now your VW's towing specs should be listed online.

Understanding Gross Vehicle Weight Rating Knowing and understanding GVWR is important to towing because it tells you explicitly the maximum weight of passengers and cargo you can safely carry in your truck or SUV. GVWR is the total combined weight of truck and trailer, including all passengers, fuel, fluids and cargo. GVWR is constant and does not change, regardless of what you tow. It’s engineered in when the vehicle is manufactured.
