A 7716 pound trailer pulled by a Touareg? And gets over 12 mpg. And tows fine without WDH?
What are we doing wrong in the US?
:h
I get over 12MPG and tow a lot of trailers that don't have a WDH. My TT weighs right at 7K.
Many get well over 12mpg, not that uncommon
Reading a Caravanners Forum on people who tow Heavy Caravans with late model HD Diesel Silverado's,(2500/3500) fuel economies were similar or heavier, going from 17.8 to 20.5l litres
Per 100km

Without a WDH, using air bags, you'll still overload the rear axle and stress the hitch receiver, leading to dangerous handling and possible failure
Problem does not work with European sourced Caravans. WDH''s are used a lot in Australia
