I read it could tow 2400kg that's 400kg more than my current car, so not that limited, but less than a RRS

Looks wise, it's don't look too bad, but a little bland on the exterior

I'd still consider one though

I spoke to one of the salesmen at TH Whites the other day and he told me the FL2 had a 2,400kg tow limit?

I always thought they were 2000 (as you do) RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
Audi A6 Allroad Sport 270 3.0TDI

don't you just love incorrect information

My local dealer told me the FL2 Dynamic (FL2 with Bodykit) had the dynamic stability button with magna ride that the evoque has, even though they had one in the showroom, he was in it trying to find the no existent button to show me, even though i was saying it didn't come on the FL2

 RRS gone
Audi SQ5...Gone Audi Q7 S-Line 240 3.0TDI Gone
Audi A6 Allroad Sport 270 3.0TDI

i mentioned it the service team when i collected my car and they had a quiet word with him and i got a apology then next time he saw me

I tow to horse events on a fortnightly basis and have seen cavaliers, 3 series etc. towing boxes!! not as uncommon as we think

I did mean cavaliers, not insignias or whatever they are now

I bet a large number dont even have the correct licence to allow them to tow the max weight either. Mike

MSE I agree, sometimes you want to pull your hair out !! its incredible what some people tow with, however, threre seems to be no policing of it!

I think its policed when something looks out or when they are done for something else....i dont know whether i fully agree with all the Jan 97 licence changes, but still...some people really dont know how to tow a trailer and thats worrying Mike

I agree, was at an event in Skipton today and made a point of looking at the towing vehicles, a mixed bag really but most were within the limit, did see an RRS with the detachable towbar towing in excess of the 2000kg that I have been advised was the limit for that configuration. I use my FFRR for towing

I understand that 2t limit is a myth. They changed the advice about prolonged use.

saw an Audi towing a twin axle horse box with two in today Mike

Mike, was advised by my well trusted indy that an RRS with detachable has a limit of 2000KG, dont mind as have to use old FFRR which my wife uses not withstanding, I tow horses all the time and cant believe what some will do, worst case for me is the 4 door saloons. I understand that they want the weekend fun, buy its bloody dangerous! Maybe I am too cautious, :
