The 7700 pound towing capacity was impressive and they had a V-10 diesel coming. I thought this combination would be perfect until I found out (after a little digging) that the tongue weight spec was only about 600 pounds. Not good when the tongue weight of an American TT can be up to 15% of the gross weight of the trailer. There were also issues with how the auto-leveling air suspension would respond to a weight distribution hitch. VW didn't have good answers to these issues so I walked away. Besides towing, the people on the Touareg list were having quite a few annoying teething problems that I would find intolerable in such a high-priced vehicle.
