I'm still leaning toward the 4runner, but still waiting to see how much Chevy will work with us on a Tahoe.
Thanks for the replies...

Mike... For years my buddy towed a smallish 19'SOB TT with an 05 Nissan Quest Mini Van. It worked well but he wanted something with a bit more power. This year he upgraded to a new 4 Runner. He reported it did have more get up and go but for sure he now feels the 18 wheelers going by and the crosswinds giving him some sway issues. He is working on solutions to those concerns now.
The 290HP version of the Porsche or T-reg is more than enough for an Airstream. A couple years ago one of the Canadian RV mags had a detailed test report on the V8 T-reg and a 30' Airstream. To sum up Garth Cane reported it was the most stable combination he had ever tested. Here is the info on post #26, #27, and #28.
Another Touareg-er!
