    Question What have you actually towed with your Q5s?

    does anyone have pics of Q5's towing stuff? i've read some of the theoreticals (like cutting the tow capacity in half to get an idea of actual towing capability), but i'd like to see what you all tow around and how it handled the extra load. Someday it would be nice to be able to tow a show car in style. :)

    Thanks!

    I saw one on the road a couple days ago pulling two sea-doos. Seems like it was doing just fine!

    2 seadoos is a pretty light load... you could probably tow that with an A3, no problem. ;)

    the q5's are actually surprisingly strong at towing. I work at uhaul and the q5 2.0t can tow 4000lbs which is a lot more than pretty much every 4 cylinder engine ive seen working here. and the 3.2 can tow 6000 lbs which is damn good too

    wow, thanks ves. that's not bad at all. do you think it would have any problems hauling a u-haul flat bed trailer and a vw bug?

    Didn't try to tow the 4000lb boat that was on it, but it moved the trailer around cottage roads just fine.
