Still wouldn't be enough, not that anyone believes you in the first place.

It scaled at 6700 lbs at a truckstop. As long as you weight the tongue properly, it's incredibly stable.

Funny, I was thinking that a V-10 diesel Touareg would be a great tow vehicle. Good to hear the 450 does well. I'm in the market for a new SUV and will be looking at those. My Sequoia is an 01 and has 180,000 miles.
