Maybe I'm bit off base here....however
I am selling the perfect tow vehicle. ( V10 TDI VW Touareg)
Is it appropriate to list it in the RL classified?

That is the perfect tow vehicle, and it -is- on the correct coast. Post the details here, with a picture of it towing a 928, and you'll be golden.

IMO, the Cayenne Turbo is the proper tow vehicle... Same transmission, adjustable suspension (great for loading and unloading) and a LOT faster when unhitched.

But yeah, that's a great tow vehicle! Why not post it? Can't hurt, right?

Ahem. The Cayenne Turbo S is what you need for a tow vehicle clearly. Even faster than the Turbo, and it has the bigger brakes which you'll definitely want with the extra weight. :P

Here are a few pics of the VW towing and with a 928 as well as our Airstream.
The suspension in the V10 is the adjustable, same as the Porsche ( same car) but better mileage.The VW has 550#'s of torque and can pull more than a F250. I'm going to take more pics this weekend.
It has 101,000 miles. Just did a major service, passed CA smog, new water pump, new tires, brakes (Brembo) Locking diffs. 2007 which is the second gen Touareg, only 250 were brought into the country for 4 years, this was the last one. $72k new. The V10 is an interesting unit, twin turbo, every thing is gear driven, giving new meaning to saying "it runs like a clock". I'm going to post it on BAT soon.
i would like to get 18k for it and since the V6 TDI seem to be in short supply and I don't believe they have locking diffs or adjustable suspension. On the highway it gets around 23 to 25mph, around town it's about 18 to 19 mph. I would not use it as a mom's take the kids to soccer car. It is what it is..bit of a beast.

Ah...

Love it, one of the first dirty girls that VW has brought to the US in recent years. I absolutely love it! They showed off the performance of the V10 TDI on 5th Gear. Got banned shortly after due to the gross polluter laws.


I would love a blue one just like in the vid.

The V10 TDI did not get banned. The later V6 TDI with the defeat device has. The V10 has a different cat system. Not saying that it's it doesn't pollute but it did pass California smog last week.

California changed their laws (CARB) which made the V10 qualify as a gross polluter resulting in VW bringing in the V6 TDI to meet the new standards. The V6 was found to be tied up in the TDI scandal.

She is a "Dirty Girl" and I will call all VW TDI's "Dirty Girls," its an affectionate term as far as I am concerned. Your Touareg meets the standards for the year that it was produced which is why it fits in the highly desirable catagory for me. That is why I want one SO VERY bad!!!

GLWS!!
