Truck was still in 2wd. And the vw had a better set, traction over a smaller area.

Having a 5.0L diesel engine doesn't hurt in such a small vehicle as well. They have over 500TQ IIRC.

The Touareg has a 3.0 diesel rated at 406 lb ft of tq. Being all wheel drive is a big advantage over a truck in 2 wheel drive. Curb weight is just under 5k lbs too.

It must be the new one, I just assumed it was around the 04' or 06'+ model with the V10.

Only imbred rednecks and kids that drive civics think tieing two trucks together is a good test of power
