[A/S] Re: VW Touareg towing an Airstream

["prairietex" <hilty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

See http://www.vw.com/touareg/ where you can be informed that the tow 
capacity is 7700 lb. and they even show one of these towing a 25 ft. 
classic airstream, or an average elephant on a trailer, or a load of 
watermellons. The vehicle has 315 HP, weighs 5,000 lb. and has 115" 
wheel base, so with a Hensly it might do an adequate job of towing 
(emergency situations not considered)- BUT at $37-$50,000 why not 
just buy the new Powerstroke for the same or less $$$?
