Hey Guys Tommy Here! Due to our editing team working remotely we had a goof slip through. At 1:10 that is the wrong generation Touareg. That is the latest model not sold in the U.S. Our (2012) Cayenne is based on the Second generation Touareg. My apologies, and hope you have a safe and healthy day!

Andras Libal best and most affordable Touareg is the 2010. Used. Idk what the new ones in Europe are like but the second gen in US can’t shake a stick at the first gen in terms driving or off road. Not only are the first gens cheap now but the 2010 was the most reliable Touareg that was ever made in the US. Get a fully loaded 2010 touareg with 30k miles on it for like $18k. It’ll last you to 125k miles no problem. Or a standard v6 tdi no rear locker or air suspension with 30k miles for $15k (USD). I got the latter for $14.4k with 38k miles and I am a very happy buyer.

I’m on my second Toureg first was a second gen 2012 TDi Executive I put 165000 miles on and my current 3rd gen 2015 TDi LUX. The only thing I wish the new one had is the air suspension for towing purposes. So that the rear suspension didn’t sag with trailer tongue weight. THe 8 speed transmission is the best unit I have ever experienced in a car or truck. It’s just amazing. It keeps the engine in its torque peak through every shift and pulls hard. I surprise every car that challenges me at the light. They never expect that the diesel pulls away like it does. I have to say the 2015 feels faster than the 2012. Even after the diesel gate software update and changes the mileage on the highway is better in the 2015 engine than the 2012 CATA engine. The electric water pump and the timing belt revisions have less drag on the engine and that is converted into better mileage on the highway. I Commute to Philadelphia daily and if I don’t get bogged down in traffic too much I’m rolling 30 mpg or 31 mpg for a 60 mile commute. I guess you can buy hybrids that can boast numbers like that or better but they can’t match doing it all day long or go off road like the Toureg does. Once that battery goes dead its on the engine and a real dog.

This is more of a testament to tire grip than anything else. The KOs are a formidable tire, but they are rather stiff, especially when aired up. All things being equal, (same tire size, air pressure, etc.) the Wildpeak would do better on icy trails due to the pliability and additional siping. However, if I had to make a choice between these 2 vehicles to trek thru many miles of terrain similar to what's on the video I would go with the Touareg, KOs and I would add tire chains. The KOs are a much tougher tire. If I wanted an all year round AT tire that has good grip in the snow (for an AT tire) the Wildpeaks would be my choice.

Those Falken's are way better than the BFG's especially in the snow and cold.

I wonder if lowering tyre pressure would help?

Would definitely want to see those two again, and the Cayenne in general, once the snow melts.

You guys should run Falken Wildpeak A/T3W’s instead of BFG’s. They are significantly better tires, especially in the snow.

I bought Fallen Wilpeak AT3w tires and they are amazing in the snow and rocks at elevation. I think they are overlooking those tires a bit.

Awesome video, for me your best yet, mind I am biased because they are my two favourite vehicles at the moment. I very much like these comparison videos because they give a very good insight into the different abilities of the trucks. Be brave keep risking damage, I think it's what we want to see, the trucks fully tested.

I know you guys did a Land Cruiser. But how about a GX460/470?
