Hello fellas,
Work is taking me from the US to Melbourne for a number years. Family is up north in Brissy and I plan to make the trip north a couple times/year. Beyond that the typical Aussie bucket list spots are on the agenda along with higher risk out-bush solo trips. Travel will be me + 2 and possibly the mother-in-law (QLD). Brother-in-law has a work ute D-Max and we have done some beach trips up past Rainbow Beach. He needs a locker....
In the US 3.0 TDI is a bit of a unicorn with most of ours being the V6 petrol or the monster V10 diesel. I see in OZ that most Tregs are the 3.0 TDI, which ticks the box for economy well enough for me, Im anticipating a hit for about 3MPGs when going to a 32" tire (I know, metric...). Looking for a lower k Treg with locking rear and low range My understanding is that locking rear = locking center transfer? Going to need air struts to accommodate tires for off-road duty, but not a deal breaker as I can always do a 25-50mm lift on conventional springs. The Touareg wiki is pretty crap and very little (if any) focus on ADM offerings. I "think" ADM had a center/rear lock with air springs and low range available to 2015? Please confirm or comment? Looking for the latest model year possible, lowest k, while keeping low rage lock, and the diff lock. TIA.
