This is what Peter Barnwell liked most about this particular version of the Volkswagen Touareg: Powerful, Roomy, Practical
The 2013 Volkswagen Touareg carries a braked towing capacity of up to 3500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of your vehicle is 2890kg. That is, the total mass of the vehicle and its payload (including passengers) must not exceed this figure. The Gross Combination Mass (GCM) is the absolute weight limit for the vehicle, it’s payload and whatever it’s towing.
The reputation of the Touareg is pretty good, but it will be much costlier to run because of its size and weight, particularly things like tyres.
The guy from VW is correct, it is a big, heavy and powerful vehicle set up to handle like a sports car with big wheels and low-profile tyres, and aggressive wheel alignment. I have no doubt that the alignment has been checked and found to be within specification. You could perhaps go to an independent suspension specialist and have them attempt to adjust the alignment to give you better tyre life. You could buy smaller wheels and higher profile tyres, which are likely to improve your tyre life.
The Volkswagen Touareg 2013 prices range from $16,940 for the basic trim level SUV 150 TDI to $34,540 for the top of the range SUV V8 TDI R-Line.
