Towing with GL450
Hello:
I’m looking for feedback from someone who has direct experience towing with the GL450. We typically tow a dual axle ski boat set-up at around 4,500 lbs.
We are considering purchasing either the 2012 GL350-Blue or the 2012 GL450. We understand that the GL350 has more torque and may be better suited to towing. Unfortunately, my wife is not a fan of the diesel and the standing start hesitation of the 350 in city driving is a negative.
What has been your towing experience with the GL450? Does the 4.6L V-8 have the power to pull this load up a grade without needing to put on the hazards lights?
Other vehicle also being considered, Audi Q7 TDI and Audi Q7 S-Line.
Thanks

We would love to help. However, this is the GLK forum. You want the GL forum.
