I had a 2010 TDI Sportwagan DSG and pulled a DG300 in a cobra trailer around the Midwest. No major issues except passing trucks could give it a good sway and strong cross winds could be a bit of a hassel. I use a F-150 with a cap for long trips out west and back. Lots of room for all the extra stuff too. You don't even know its back there most of the time. TDI 32 mpg towing F-150 more like 15-20 mpg. Heading back to NEPHI in late June, will be using the truck. Glad gas is cheap again.
