Actually they are designed to tow exactly that trailer. 7700 lbs is the towing limit. Lots of room to tow an Airstream. No begging required.

Great advice and exactly what we did before opting for a Touareg. Only VW May cause us to change vehicles due to the emissions issue. We love our Touareg for towing our 28 Eddie Bauer.

Love pulling our 28’ Eddie Bauer with the Touareg TDI. As Andy said, less space for stuff but much more convenient for getting around and backing in.

Hi, sent you a PM, yes affects us all, though most people don't mind a trailer for a day or two if getting ready for a trip. Some have neighbours who don't mind a trailer parked for weeks, others do.
