    Hi folks- new guy here in Charleston WV. Anybody towing with a Q5? I'm thinking about my next tow vehicle for a small travel trailer. Trailer weighs 2490lbs (dry) with a tongue weight of 280lbs. I'm wondering what other peoples' impressions are. How is the 3.0 vs 2.0? I know the 2.0 gets better mileage overall, but how would it be for towing? (I'm also told that it has better low end torque). Both are supposed to have a towing capacity of 4500lbs or so?

    Thanks

    Dave

    I'm thinking about using my q5 to tow as well.
    I have the 3.0. I honestly wouldn't want the 2.0l to tow.
