V10 Touareg.. Limits and height

[jcg1]

Hi guys,
Im selling my Sahara and am looking at getting a V10 Touareg.
Im looking at a 2004-2005 model.
I would like to know their capability off road. High country etc,
How much height is adjustable by??
and general fuel economy etc and if they are a capable vehicle off orad with a set of mud tires.
Cheers

Cant comment to much directly to the v10 , i have the v8 and driven back to back with a GXL Landcruiser , its chalk and cheese.
It has fair clearance with sprung suspension with the additional lift from air it would be great. Its got all the smarts of most 4wd's, and from what ive heard reacts very well to a good set of muddies.I will be able to report directly soon as i'm going to fit mine with some soon.
I have heard reports of the v10 being an absolute animal, buckets of torque, reveiwed to leave the v8 for dead which is a scary proposition.
Just be prepared for some repairs as its getting on in age and theres definately some bits that seem to be a problem when they age a little.

hmm nice..
I actually used to own a V8 Touareg year and years ago, but I never took it off road. Mine also didnt have the adjustable lift etc.
Although I did have my V8 touareg on the beach and the sand dunes. Mind you my Touareg had 24" wheels .
Im keen to set up an offroad version, but would like to see them first hand off road
