Anyone towing with Touareg TDI

 Power is amazing. Still quietest car I've ever owned. Decent 23 mpg mixed mostly secondary and around town roads. Tows fantastic.

All vehicles will have some issues (even my trusty reliable 2003 4Runner had a few problems outside warranty , and it ate brakes, oh man, 24K brake and rotor intervals, glad they were cheap). The 4 warrantable issues I've had were all taken care of (AdBlue tank heater went south, Dieselgate, and the water pump and oil seal). So far the only out of pocket has been some 10K service intervals, and brakes, and tires. It does seem hard on tires, but I'm changing to a different brand next time, no more Pirellis, they have some annoying road noise after 24K.

If you are handy, keep it well maintained, they aren't importing them anymore. They are still being made for the rest of the world but not North America. The latest version is so nice, but we won't see  it.

Like I said before the Durango V8 seems to have a great tow capability for an SUV too. Just wish they would clean up the diesels so we could have that engine in an SUV.

You might wish to check out Sumo Springs. There is a model that will fit the coil springs in the Touareg. I found this with a quick search:

I would check Amazon and other sites to see if I could find a better shipped price. I did not check shipping for the link I posted.

I recently put Sumo Springs on our Frontier. They have made a big difference. Since the Frontier has leaf springs, the ones I got were different (and much more expensive)  than the ones for coil springs. They are well worth the price.
