Nice one TN X-45!! You other guys, methinks it was a joke because of the giant green sticker on the window. We do that at the pathetic car shows around here: It's always a red Grand Prix with a giant windshield banner. "Hey is that a Pontiac?" "Yeah--Grand Prix." "Oh. Hard to tell. Ahhh I see it now. Good thing you put that sticker on there."

Touareg TDI
New tow rig. 2013 Touareg TDI Exec. Just getting it broken in so haven't towed with it yet. A lot of what I read here and on other sites lead me to this purchase. It drives great. Has great get up and go. 240 HP and some 407lbs of torque. Plus it gets great gas mileage.
The thread on here about the t-bone accident also really sold me on it. We had looked at the Cayenne too and other truck options but just didn't want another large truck and didn't want to spend the premium on the Cayenne, not that this thing was inexpensive. Man never thought I would buy a VW much less spend what we did on a VW. All in all pretty happy with it. I will post more info once we start towing with it. Will likely go out for the last time this season on Saturday.

That thing is a beauty! I'm on the fence on getting one. Took out a Q7, hooked it up to the boat and pulled it like a champion. Would have bought it, but my local Audi dealer wasn't very helpful. Poor sales service. Let us know what you think about it, post pics with the boat hooked up.

You will not be disappointed in it's Tow ability, just awesome in every way. I am getting about 14 MPG towing my X2 through the mountains and 28 to 30 MPG all around average. No sway with a tandem trailer either which was my biggest concern based on it's size and braking is a non issue also. Quite frankly, only way I really know the boat is with me is by looking in the rear view, lol. On steep highway down hills, I found this to work best. Go to Manual mode... Run about 79-80 mph by the time you hit the bottom of the hill in 8th gear, (1900 rpm) at the start of the uphill, shift to 7th and you can lug all the way up at about 70 mph (2400 rpm) Pedaling it seems to work best and keeps the shifting to a minimum. You can run with cruise, but it is way late and over shifting occurs.
Do yourself a favor and order one of these, eliminates the clunking. http://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Ball...-Aluminum.aspx I use it in the raised position, rear end only drops 1" and trailer is perfectly level. Cheers, Quote:
