What is the towing capacity on that? Right around 8,900?
If that is the case it would tow a nice camping trailer as well

Thanks guys. I think it is right around 8000 lbs. It's kinda funny. I remember looking at these when they came out, thinking I sure would like to have one. But @ $42,000 there was nooo way. It is amazing when gas prices go up how truck prices go down!!!

Very nice! First mod: Electric fans....it will pick up a few mpg and ponies at the wheels.

Want a camper trailer for it? I'm putting mine up for sale this week!

We bought our jetta from Smokey Point. They weren't too bad to deal with.
