Thread is now Track Hawk Thread of EXTREME Towing 2020!!!
anyone have real-world experience towing a 20-22' or so camping trailer with a 2017+ Q7? I've seen the 7700lb / 1367lb towing and payload ratings but wondering how it actually is in reality.

I think he should stretch his budget a bit to the Bentayga Hybrid. Only $168K.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
But true beyond.ca style would be to say he should get a Cullinan.

As someone mentioned, 7200 lbs. This load was much less but I think I need more power.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My buddy tows this with his SRT although he recently got a pickup to save the Jeep from getting beat up.
I like neat cars.
No water no bbq. I’m sure I’m towing about 3500-3600 total with all my stuff. Who tows water? Not me.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Anyway bringing my wife around on getting a Tundra to replace the highlander but probably not until 2022.

I know you like Japanese bud, but check out ford/Chev because pickups is the one thing they do really well. I HATE the driving dynamics of the tundra.

Right up there with a 2000 silverado, because that's how long the Tundra has existed for.
I have a '19 trd sport, hate it for towing. Towed a car from lethbridge to edmonton and it hunted for gears all the time on QE2. Also towed a holiday trailer, probably around 6-7k #'s roughly 100k west of Edmonton and same thing, I don't like towing with it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I had a' 13 & '15 F150's with the 3.5 WAAAAY better towing in my limited times I've towed anything. I definitely won't be keeping the Tundra long term but I don't keep anything terribly long anyways.
Please. No one has even suggested towing with a G wagen yet.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

7000lbs baby! Surely the aspenites can appreciate the 6x6
The Tundra is really feeling ancient, lots of power but that’s about it. Not a fan of the trans programming or extremely light steering with zero feedback.

Actually my wife really likes Japanese I quite like the ram and the gmc trucks because I had to drive them for 2 years while I was working at Fort Hills.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I use the manual shifter when I’m towing. I took my old trailer to Edmonton first trip last year and my mileage was 28. Ever since i shifted to controlling it I haven’t seen mileage over 22.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I think the solution is to consult your wife on her opinion and then disregard it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I tow my race car with an aluminum open trailer with an '08 VW touareg. Similar chassis to the Q7 and Cayenne. It's not perfect, but it's got big Cayenne brakes and the same 7700lb capacity with a pretty decent payload. It tows fine, but it's quite slow accelerating with the little VR6 engine. Stopping and handling are adequate. For every non-track day of the year it's my wife's car for commuting and weekend family driving. It's excellent for that job even though it's German and... gasp!

I do too, then when I think it's fine to be in "drive" I'm sadly mistaken with the tundra and it drops to 4th ALL the time when it shouldn't.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The truck is fine for what I use it for on the regular, but if I was towing more often, I wouldn't even consider having it.
