Hi there, went for our first trip camping with the Touareg last weekend, very impressed with the vehicle!
We didn't go far, just up to Big River state forest up past Marysville, towed the camper trailer and the car didn't miss a beat, even up the long hill near marysville it was able to maintain 100 whist towing the camper! (our old Patrol used to struggle at 40km/h!!)
Took off on the saturday to find some tracks to play on, managed to find some quite steep sections that certainly needed low range, very impressed with the capabilities so far. Comparison to the Q7 that I had previously is not really fair as this car is definitely more biased to off road work, it had descent control, but it didn't really work that well, in the touareg it works amazingly well. Having low range really helps it crawl down steep sections.
I will attempt to attach some photos!
