The original Touaregs are probably one of the most capable factory off-roaders that nobody really thinks of. 2 speed T-case, Air suspension/adjustable ride height, lockers, sway bar disconnects. Really cool trucks, just hampered because VW had serious reliability problems in the mid 00's. And before anyone comments, I can say that with authority because I've owned, and still own too many VWs, lol.

Mad respect! I love seeing cars at the badlands that aren't jeeps/toyotas

The Touareg is truly impressive! I love mine.

Impressive, just amazing!!

That Touareg has seen more off-road than 90% of jeeps

I have one ,2012 Touareg TDI V6 ,it’s a BEAST!

Yeah, it looks great.. nice job!

The off road programming is pretty effective for sure. Makes me want to take my 04 V10 out again. The air suspension makes for a lack of suspension flex when pumped up, so that is a bit of a downside... but having the rear locker does make for much easier control over obstacles.

The tyres are obviously bigger than they should be on this car. Good job, though, the guy is insane! :D I love Tuareg 2 and can’t wait to buy one! 🥰

Love it. I have a stock 2012 Touareg TDI. I’ve taken it to the local off road park and was quite impressed. But what you’re able to do once it’s lifted with some good tires is insane. Nice video.

P C I would buy one with the certificate pre-owned warranty. I have had several issues with mine, but have the CPO warranty. Many of the issues was from the car sitting on the VW TDI buyback lots. I think mine sat for over two years. VW reconditioned a lot of them including mine but there were still issues with things. I just got it back from the shop yesterday actually. I purchased the suv in September 2019 and it has literally had to be taken into the dealership for something every single month. I’m not exaggerating, it really has had to get repaired for something every single month. I have a rental car for about a week each month. I’m hoping this was the last issue and that it’s good to go. Otherwise it’s a great vehicle. Lots of power and ability. Has excellent towing capabilities and even stock without a lift or the optional air suspension (European option for T3) it performs quite well off road.

Nice video and impressive for a US spec Touareg Sport with open diffs and open transfer case. Tires and lift kit make a huge difference, you are going through some gnarly obstacles! Imagine if we had air suspension and locking front, center, and rear diffs. Got a 2011 Sport with no CPO, got lucky so far only minor issues with hatch lift motors, 12v outlet rear seats and hatch area don’t work, and slow power steering leak. Avon Indiana here

Jeesuus…love it..

Owner of a '13 V6 TDI Lux.. white outside, saddle brown inside. Bought used 4+ years ago and have benefited from the extended TDI warranty (expires later next month) a couple times. Within the first week of ownership I replaced the wheels and tires to fit some 265/60 18 Hankook Dynapros. Looks epic, is rock solid and drives great. After years of owning cheaper and crappier vehicles I love my Touareg so much that I wouldn't take the chance of damaging something playing on the rocks like you do. I'll just have to find something cheaper and nastier to beat up. But I do enjoy having some occasional deep snow and messy roads to drive through. 😁

Impresionante. No rozan las ruedas con los plásticos y pasos de rueda? Gracias. Un saludo

Thank you for the inspiration! I had no idea my Touareg could handle this type of challenges. Do you have the rear locking diffs?

Dillon are the AGFAB spacers fitted underneath the original springs front and rear, i see some other brand spacers have holes in them and AGFAB is just a simple round spacer.

Cool, what size of tires instarted in your car?

Have you had any reliability issues with off-roading it? I have a 2015 with the terrain tech package and I’d love to try it out but seems so fragile for some reason.

I have same car and color! Nice.

This sounds great! I have a 2007 model toureg and it dosnt sound like this... Have you you air intake or anything?

Silly question, what is the mpg after the lift? I want to build a ski/camping rig, so looking for a good blend of off road capability and mpg.

Still getting 30 mpg on the highway with the lift?

What lift kit did you use and where can I find it.

Very impressive for a 2011 with no lockers. Makes me wonder how a T1 with a center and rear locking diff would've done on the same rough spots. Either way its more than capable enough for most people even without the locking diffs. Touareg FTW.

The T3 has available as optional the Terrain Tech package, and it adds the low range, and center and rear diff lock., the package only adds about 100lbs. It also adds bigger fuel tank and underbody protections. Anyway, I think that the majority off T3 Tregs on the US are without the package, maybe all of them.

The lockers and low gear don't do much on loose surfaces like sand or mud, but it is rather important if the slow and controlled movement is crucial.

Pretty sure it doesn't have a torsen rear diff. It has a torsen center diff to split power front to rear. It just has clever programming in the ABS/stability control module. Switch the dial to the "Off Road" mode and it much more aggressively applies the brakes to the wheel that is slipping to send power to the one that has traction. It also engages hill descent control as needed. Overall, it's a pretty effective system. This is also known as electronic differential lock or EDL for short. It doesn't actually lock the diff, but it gets you by almost as good as one.
