    The hand off to the new owner today. @D3Racing .. I just don't know if his Ford will handle the little AR. To the Coast she goes. Was an awesome Yamaha and served us well! Going to miss the lakes for sure!

    Tower Cleaning? Bugs!!

    I have been using this for years and could not imagine not being able to have it. (It is that good). I use it on my cars, bikes and boat. I have a AR 192 with black tower and this is all I have ever used on my tower. We tow around 140 miles round trip to the lake. Wipes the bugs right off and...

    Who's towing with an SQ5?

    @NJ-JetGuy The brakes on the SQ5 are huge and stop the 19 footer with authority. The 192 and the 195 have the surge brakes also. In my opinion your Macan and my Audi are fine with out the brake controller towing the 192 and 195. I would install one for the 21footer just to be cautious if I...

    Who's towing with an SQ5?

    You got it. Our 4th season. We are at Avent Ferry and 55. Moved here from Cary 11 years ago. Last couple of years we have mainly been going to Kerr lake. Much cleaner and lake is huge. Reminds me of the lakes I grew up on in Western NC. We will be at Jordan tomorrow so we can head back quickly...

    Who's towing with an SQ5?

    Here is a pic the day we bought it. Had to drive from Raleigh NC to Washington DC to get the color. At the time there was only 4 this color in the US. Hinze silver or white for our 2nd vehicle as she is a bitch to keep clean.

    Who's towing with an SQ5?

    That is awesome! We have no kids and we just saved and saved some more over the years. Did I mention compounding and staying in the market even when it looked bad. :) Stick with it. I am in the process of looking for a 13 to 16 VW Touareg TDI. Has to be silver or white to suffice the wife...

    Who's towing with an SQ5?

    That is ironic. I retired in 2015 and in Nov 2016 we did the same thing. Still only 46 years old and dabble in the markets on my on. I sold our 2014 Auid s4 and a 4runner we bought new in 2006. She works a mile from our home and having just the SQ5 has worked great for us. I paid cash for it...

    Who's towing with an SQ5?

    We love it! Tows great and is very stable with tons of grunt. It is a 2017 and the last year they had the supercharger. In 2018 they went to single turbo and made in Mexico body. You will be very pleased towing down the interstate at 75 plus with ease. Also hardly any squat at all. Let me...

    AR192 Overheating and other misc issues

    I know this is simple but make sure clean out plug is sealed and tight. I hope someone like @SamCF or @swatski chimes in. They probably have an idea as to what could be wrong. Hope you get it figured out!

    what forums? Audiworld ?? I've been looking for the jetboaters.net equivalent for TDI/audi forums but haven't found it yet, (audiworld responds very slow for me and often times locks up) The best Audi forum with out a doubt is Audizine Forums Been on this one for 5 years and is a really...

    2018 Audi Q5 2.0

    @Tim Piroli I tow my 2016 AR192 with my 2017 Audi SQ5. From a power stand point it feels like there is really nothing behind me. It is a short vehicle so you def know you have something behind you. I was surprised there is really no squat at all.. I tow a lot and on interstate here in NC and...
