New Moomba Hauler
Hey Everyone!
I got a new Grey Whale!!! No just kidding!!!! However we do have a new Moomba Hauler! Got tired of the Silverado jumping in and out of 3rd and 4th gear while towing between 60 & 65mph. And MrsZ and the kids got tired of the Extended Cab suicide doors. While the Chevy was very faithful and never gave a single problem after 113k miles we decided to find a new Moomba Hauler for all the Jamborees we plan to attend next year. We have pulled the LS a few miles and I didn't know it was behind us! So here are the pics!!!!! The Touareg Boards call them T-Regs and with 310hp and 550ft-lbs of torque you can understand why!
21mpg towing and is also a great Ski boat engine according to a Nationally Well known Ski Boat Company!

Sweet tow vehicle!
I'll be keeping my 4 door Silverado, but the wife's Sequoia lease is up next spring so we'll be checking one of these beasts out.

I've seen one of those before somewhere. Only the one I saw wasn't nearly that clean.
My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

You should see her now! I took her offroading on Saturday after all that rain we got on Friday. Actually I was taking my daughter to a friends house but they live way out in the woods on a dirt (OK sand) road the logging trucks use also! Yep it was fun!

My primary tow rig is a Ram 3500 dually but I use a Touareg v6 TDI from time to time. It looks like Mighty Mouse towing. I get some strange looks but it really tows well for what it is.

Somehow I got stuck in a time machine via an accidental search. Oops but kind of funny.
