VW Atlas V6 AWD towing an AR210?

@orionone, don't keep up in suspense, what did you end up getting!

Haha we went with a Yukon, wife still wanted the third row and the diesel option offered great fuel economy. Surprisingly better than the Atlas!

You got the diesel Yukon? Do tell more. Mileage non-towing? Mileage Towing? Thx

The diesel does 21 city, 27 highway. Not sure on the towing numbers as we’re still waiting on the boat to arrive. The Atlas is rated 17/23

Good call on the upgrade I was using my 2018 Q7 to tow my 2012 Challenger 180.

recently picked up a truck to pulled it

Q7 pulled it fine it already had a tow package but it’s just too nice on the inside to keep jumping in wet leaving the dock.

with the F150 don’t feel bad at all lol

Perfect excuse to get a bigger boat now ? Nice setup!

thank you and yes that’s the plan wanted to get a towing vehicle that will be able to pull a future upgrade.

a challenger 230 or a Yamaha AR24 jet boat love both but that’s down the road really enjoying my little 180

See you just need to get a Q7 that had a previous owner that gave ZERO forks. I bought my Q7 used and it was already abused before I got it. It's in much better shape after I've had it for 7mo than the previous owner left it after 3 years. Tows the AR190 beautifully (as does most every other vehicle on the planet that comes with a hitch), and I don't feel even a little bad putting the wet dog, two boys, and the wife and I in it for the drive home. I'm still being nicer to it than the last guy
