Alright, so, as you all know I bought this car in October of last year. It came down to this or a new truck, and, well, this was like 1/3rd of the price of the truck I spec'd out, so, that's the direction I went. I pretty much started with the idea of "let's see how far I can push the limits of a car as far as towing and daily use, like I do my trucks. Obviously, this won't replace a full-size pickup for my enclosed trailer, and, I've still got my Sierra for that task.
Pretty much set out to make this the most useful and ambidextrous car I could within reason, or I would end up not using it in place of my pickup as a DD.
Bone stock with Blizzaks. Car did a 1,600 mile trip around Lake Michigan, drove it down some snowmobile trails, I swear that this thing with snow tires is better than my truck in 4x4.
Now, with its summer wheels.
Well, for the past 6 months I've been waiting for the aftermarket to catch up to the new body style and TDI motor... FINALLY, the trailer hitch I've been waiting for hit the market, and, I immediately bought one. It arrived today along with the wiring harness!
Also ordered an air bag setup for the rear
It's all going together tonight. I'll get some pictures towing with it tomorrow
