Where did this net out? I'd like to do similar, but we have a Honda Pioneer 1000 (right around 10' x 5.25'). Towed by a Touareg TDI, less concerned with width or off-road ability. Just want something simple that we can pull the Honda with, park at a campsite, pop up RTT, and then take the Honda...

You know that phrase, when it's too good to be true, it's too good to be true? Well, we experienced that. It was a steal. Buckle up, here's the whole story. I was blindly emailed by the local VW dealer and asked about doing a lease pull ahead on our 2016 VW Golf Sportwagen. I asked, in an...

Well, ended up with a crazy VW deal. Dealer called me about a pull ahead on my Golf Sportwagen lease. Had planned to buy a used Cayenne diesel after lease was up. But looked at their inventory. They had a 2016 Touareg Diesel. Sport with Tech and Tow. Never been sold. 645 miles on odo. 100k...

We ended up (rather randomly) buying a new house, so the trip to the Arctic is on hold for a year. But Cayenne diesel is still the lead horse. Probably one of the better deals on the used market after the diesel fix. Significant warranty extensions for an already reliable vehicle.

Well, that's awesome! GLWS.

Hey, I really appreciate that! Been looking hard and finding nothing online and my dealer didn't have one yet. Was hoping for a flat floor that I could put a dog kennel in (on one side), doesn't look like this will work. But man, you've got a great looking truck. Congrats.

Yeah looks great. Can you post a picture of the rear seats flipped up and down?

Nope, it's a bench rear seat (three belts and headrests). Two up front.

Yeah, I saw that too. Ugh. Hoping that NA version is different. But guessing it's a long shot. Really wish all the other mid's had the ability to utilize a flip up rear seat with a flat floor. I'd love to put my daughter's car seat on the 40 side and a dog kennel on the 60 side. Looks like my...

I'm struggling to find photos of the rear seats in the super crew. I'm curious how they fold up and if there's a way that I could put a dog kennel or platform in one. Right now the Ridgeline is the only midsize I can find with a capable rear seat.

From MN as well. It’s a fun drive. Post your route and I can give you some must sees. I was on a motorcycle, so slippery may have felt different to me. Probably closest to frozen lake. Fish tailing, fighting ruts, occasionally you’d encounter a random deep pit that would almost stop me in my...

I did it on motorcycle a few years ago. It's mentioned above, but is not to be missed, if it rains be EXTREMELY careful. They coat the gravel with a substance to keep dust clouds down. The downfall is that when wet it becomes extremely extremely slippery. On my trip to the arctic circle, of...

Yeah, that rack is super slick. Nice work.

Have you camped in rain? Does it shield rain, or is it a fairweather only option?

If you're willing to ship, let me know. I'll pay asking price and you can keep the JKU legs. edit: as I'm looking at it, not sure this platform will work with RTT due to the sides of the platform
