Trade your FIL's 68 GTO on it.... that should bring the price down within reason..... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

The idea behind the V10 is not mpg but mph.Name any other suv cranking out 310hp/553tq run 0 to 60 in 6.4sec.and average over 20mpg.Plus almost 12 inches of ground clearance.

from most of the people i have talked to, they are not getting over 20 in their tdi's.

Ok, I think we need to clarify the use of the term "TDI" in this thread.

The one I think of is the 1.9 L engine in the VW sedans that gets close to 50 mpg. I think some folks are using the same term to refer to the high performance diesel in the Tourag, which is a totally different thing, right?

Hmm, I just checked the vw site, the only engine option they show for the Tourag is a V-8, I assume this is what other posters meant about the diesel Tourag being very scarce?

The V10 for 05 is on hold now .The TDi is still avery effecient engine.If you want a TREg that is efficient then look at one with the 2.5 TDI diesel

Frankly, after my experiences with VW's, I wouldn't touch a VW with a ten foot pole. http/www.vwsucks.com

My family has had a bunch of VW's with no trouble.You can find a lemons in any brand

well, i hate to tell you that i sold vw's for a while so i have been around a few tdi tourags. great truck, wich i could afford one but you put a 5 liter v-10 in something shaped like a brick and its not going to get the greatest mpg.

It all depends at what speeds you run.I know a guy who maintained 50mph on a trip and got 28mpg.It has alot to do with weight.
