This is a video of my old V8 Touareg, I now have the V10. I currently have the toyota open country a/t's on my V10 and they have lasted about 30,000 miles. The best tires I have ever had on the V10 were the Goodyear Wrangler Silent armors, they were absolutely amazing. The video was shot as a joke while I have to say the V10 is lightyears ahead of the V8 in deep snow.
You say your Toyos lasting the best so far. I have the v10tdi as well and Proxes STII are at the wear bars with worse corner wear at ~20000mi. Which ones do you have? I'm thinking of getting Open country HT w/ treadlife warranty. Also, although theoretically lowrange shouldn't make a difference in this situation all the sudden you were unstuck the moment you said that. Does it make a diff? I'll have to try. Maybe it changes thewaythe computer handles the traction control aswellas the drive ratio
offroading a defender 90, with AT tires, or dirt or rock is far different than a toureg, on highway rubber, on snow. In this case, lockers would cause all the wheels to move. Low range would just make the wheels turn slower and have a better mechanical advantage on the motor, but I doubt that V8 is having trouble turning the tires in snow.
In this case I would go for momentum and all four wheels spinning. Slowing the wheel speed (low range) and hoping to go from sliding to static friction and get the tires to hook would not work in this scenerio. You probably do know how to crawl a defender, but those skills don't transfer to most scenerios, kinda exclusive to your niche.
ja snow i smy element aswell living in Finland, and having a country that akes the best snow tyres pllus studded tyres, were well aware of the different grips. I had a friend who had the R5 touareg, they went up a ski slope with it :D Live this car.
Defender is horrible on the motorway. Remember the pain when i wa sin the army in a defender for hours,,ugh
Did that for 3 months, every day in my Cayenne Turbo (probably 5 ft of snow constantly on ground elsewhere). Learnt that after 3 months of 2.5 tons compressing snow it turns to ... ice ... as I slid gracefully into my house. Which makes me a dumbass. Next year used salt and a shovel
I have to say, I'm very disappointed, I wanted to actually see a plow on a Touareg. :) You were never even very close at all to what I call "stuck", really, not that bad a driving. The off road comments people are leaving are so freaking dumb there is no possible way to even know where to start correcting them, lol. Keep havin' fun. ;)
THIS video is not intended to be a video showing the Touareg's offroad capabilities, or to show a hard core snow driving run. It was my buddy and I JOKING around in the driveway of my cabin. All you idiots that talk smack need to get a life cause you're ruining youtube for the rest of us normal people. Nobody has a gun to your head telling you to watch the video.
Btw can You tell me whats better in snow conditions? Cuz I live in Poland and we have really deep snow here and Im thinking of buying a Touareg or a Jeep Commander. Do You happen to know which one deals better with snow?
The WHOLE point of the video was for FUN idiots. Not to try and show that my touareg was great in the snow or any of that, just to mess around in the driveway of my cabin. I am no "city slicker" dipshit.
@sklmll dude, all those you shot it for understood the point. really funny. especially the camera dude's constant laugh. lol. good video. and btw, seems to me it did show off road capabilities this great car has. again, thanks for the video. btw, is this your house or u were renting it? if renting - got a link? wanna go there next winter..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"Thats what low range is for" WTF? City fuckin slickers.... Its snow and a V8 there will be plenty of torque in high range. Also why don't you go down a proper trail rather than your pathetic lane. Stupid video.
im pretty sure he put it in "low range" because he was stuck!! and you dont want a lot of torque when your wheels are spinning, you want less so that they spin slower and get more traction... why dont you just quit bad mouthing videos untill you have something smart to say!
Exactly my point dumb-ass, low range delivers waaay more torque therefore high range would have been sufficient in snow. When you spin out low range wont get you out! So why don't you listen to your own advice, and not leave comments until you think about what your saying.
he was definitely stuck which means low range was needed! is there a law that says you need to be some trail junky to have a little fun in the snow?!?
You DON'T need low range when your stuck in snow! I live in rural canada (so i have experience) and i have never used low range in snow... ever. You don't need extra power in snow... the wheels can't put the effectively put that much power to use in something so slippery; therefore making the said comment stupid. Low range does NOT get you unstuck!
low range doesnt get you unstuck but when in low range on the touareg you can also lock the differential and transfer case, not that everyone needs it but an option. nice vid, looks like fun, snowin here now!! my turn...
What's your rack setup? Do you use the factory roof bars? Looks pretty nice. Currently looking at either a V8 Touareg or splurging for a Cayenne Turbo. This recession has definitely turned the market for low mileage SUVs in favor of the buyer.
The rack setup is all yakima, with the control towers and landing pads secured to the factory tracks. On top of that are the ski racks and the yakima skybox. If your looking at the V8 touareg or the cayenne turbo, I suggest you finda V10tdi touareg, I just bought one and it is incredible.
This is my second touareg and this one doesnt have air suspension. The truck still is very good offroad, and yes I was just messing around when I made this video!
awesome capabilities?? c'mon folks any suv should be able to do that.. my 1000$ 98 expllorer can do that wihtout getting stuck lol.. that thing is like 80 grand and its pretty shit.. plus those people dont know how to use it
hey sklmll. how many miles did you get off of your first set of tires? 25,000? i know that is cant be too many because my touareg is eating through its tires. anyways this is much better than my touareg video. nice work!
Yea my first continentials were worn at 18k miles, then the pirellis lasted about 25k more and now the toyo's seem to be lasting much better than either of the first tires.
it looks as though i will have to replace the stock pirellis at 25,000 miles. my mercedes ml lasted 50,000+ miles. what a difference! please, more touareg snow videos! try a.b.s. in the snow and a flat ground burnout, maybe even some doughnuts. keep it up! 5/5
It is better audi quattro
