Just swapped out the 2012 V6 Sport for a 2014 TDI.
Tow a 20' Haulmark with a car inside.
Last tow was 2400 miles r/t and I averaged just over 8mpg. I cruised at around 70-75 except in the Pa hills (I'm in NY) where it was screaming at 65.
70 redlined it and I wasn't comfortable driving like that up some of the grades.
Wondering what I can expect from the diesel, and wondered if anyone else had made the switch that pulled something bigger than an ATV. I'm hoping for double digits on economy and an easier tow uphill, but may be kidding myself.
