I'd expect towing a good handling trailer like an Airstream with a good handling car like an Audi to be a rare treat. I wouldn't expect pulling power or cooling capacity to be issues. The gearing and torque are quite suitable, and these cars are designed to be run at wide open throttle or close to it. Using constant turbo boost may cause problems, but perhaps using a pyrometer to keep an eye on exhaust gas temperature would work as well for a turbocharged gasoline engine as it does for a turbocharged diesel. |
Yes AlbertF, this pretty much sums up the way many others feel too.
Like owning the highly praised Airstream some unique TV's do cost more and do require a certain amount of special prep, extra cost, and considerations.
With professional advice and setup many folks have reaped the benefits of superior handling, fuel economy, safety, ride, and comforts with unique vehicles when towing, and or solo.
