Trail Damage | Jeep Wrangler vs VW Touareg See Which One We Break First! 

Excellent video...thanks for bringing out the car..I was Super impressed by what it can do..Thanks Roman..Thanks Tommy...you guys went above n beyond on this video..Awesome stuff.

That Tuareg is living it's best best life

Time for a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk vs Volkswagen Touareg video!!!!

Roman you keep praising the jeep,but I'm more impressed with the Volkswagen

You guys hit it out of the park with this one. Now please excuse me while I switch to another browser tab and shop for good used Touareg.

I think it's fair to say the Touareg has earned some armor. Also. The engine noise on the Wrangler going downhill was disturbing.

The Wrangler took a little better lines on some obstacles...I am impressed ..AGAIN...with the VW.

For less than ten percent of the cost of the Jeep. I'll take the Toe Rag every time.

one of your best series and best choices of cars. Love the touareg

The Touareg did just fine, it got to the top of the mountain just fine. The moment where it touched borrow slightly and tapped the tree with the minor are not problems, the Touareg is a bigger vehicle so that will happen to all bigger vehicles, the Jeep ran a better line (if u look at the video you can see that the Jeep received better directions from the navigator than the Touareg received, so the Touareg was aligned poorly to go over that rock). We can also see that the Touareg has a much more comfortable ride, which is important because the Jeep has a severely kidney busting ride that just beats up your body as you get older). The Touareg also has plastic parts that can be superglued or replaced, so that is the same as the Jeep, but of course VW prices might be higher but if it is then you can simply pick up your plastic at a junkyard since this is an off-road vehicle, it does not matter if the colors don't match and it doesn't matter if it is scraped up either, off road vehicles should look like they go off-road every day.

Your comparing a 13 year old Touareg with a brand new jeep! I'd say the touareg won by far. Try doing a same year comparison.. That shows you how capable a Touareg really is. It goes head to head with vehicles a decade newer!

I'm very impressed by the Volkswagen Touareg. (Go VDUB✌)

Love my Touareg with air suspension. Looks identical to yours they are amazing cars. Loved the video.👍 You have the roof bars the wrong way round or back to front. At speed they will whistle like mad the way you have them installed. If you look behind the flap where the lock is you will see an arrow that should point to the front of the car. 👍

This is only 20 miles from my house. I love it. Waiting on a new radiator, new rack and pinion and I'll be taking my Titan pro4x up there. What a fantastic trail and view!!!

Wow, really impressive work by VW Touareg and you guys! Keep rockin!

The entire time you basically complained about the touareg! But in the end it got you there and back.

WOW! that was great. I was gonna sell my 06 V10 TDI (Torque Monster) Touareg but now I think I will get off road tires and do some exploring here.

The Touareg is very capable for what it is. The main difference is in 15 years the Jeep will still sell for half of the original msrp. Where as the vw is only worth 4600.00 approximately 1/8th it’s original msrp.

I dont know but Tommy should have driven the Touareg. Better driver for the less capable vehicle.

During my years with the gas company in WV, I did a lot of off roading in very steep terrain. Back in the day we didn't have hill decent control on vehicles. I always found the downhill rides the most challenging and the few times I almost rolled a vehicle were going down steep, slippery hills. They are butt clenching.

The Jeep gets 1st place. But that VW was the winner of the day in my book. That was impressive for a large suv. Coutos to VW!

The Touareg has "Down Hill Assist"- just square-off with the fall-line, take your foot off the pedal and your hands off the wheel...practically...the owner's manual states "maximum permitted grade" is 45 degrees when following the fall-line, 35 degrees when crossing a slope.

I love my 2006 VW Touareg v8 with center and rear lockers. Though I miss my 2000 Jeep Wangler and Rock Crawling.

i love the touareg series. good job as usual.

are you using first gear in the touareg? when in low range is starts in 2nd gear by default and you have to use the shifter to command 1st gear. it will help you tremendously. I used this a lot with my V10 touareg years ago offroad.

Awesome video! Thank you again Roman and Tommy. You went above and beyond!

Excellent video guys the VW did a great job based on its on road capability

I absolutely love these videos! Thanks TFL!

Check your recalls on the Rubicon. There are a series of 2019 Jeep Wranglers with defective steering parts causing major instability while driving.

Been watching you guys for years and I must say you all truly knocked it out of the park with this one. The videography and editing was fantastic. Keep up the great work fellas!

Man you guys are putting a smile on every Touareg owner out there - and after their repair bills, they needed this! lol

Oh boy, I'd love to see a Range Rover VS VW Tourage VS G-Waggon VS Jeep Grand Cherokee VS Land Cruiser (same year)... hahaha, that would be so crazy. One can only dream.

Not bad considering the Tuareg is more about North African dessert than boulder strewn extreme trails.

Your editing is becoming next level. Love the intro. Great vid!

Outstanding video fellas! Thanks for showing the off-road chops VW baked into the Touareg with this series!!

What a beautiful country you have and you filmed it to perfection your videos are masterful Keep it up.

I don't know how I missed this video, but it's amazing! As always, great work guys. This trail looks epic too, once again it just makes me really want to get out to CO to see y'all with my 4Runner.

Awesome video, guys! We need more like this! I'd like to take my JLUR on this trail; the scenery is spectacular! 😎

Wow... I didn't see this comparison coming !!! Excellent job guys !!! A+

What an awesome location!! Great video again, guys!

Thanks guys for your videos. Your conversations, narration, cars, music, sceneries - are just great. You show not only cars which I love but some nice pieces of US :ok:

I loved it when Roman was up against the tree, with his window down and Tommy - all of 2 feet from him, kept talking into the radio!

Love This T-Reg Series, Makes me want to get my 09 TDI up in the mountains soon, I just got it ;) You guys rock! Thanks for all these vids! Tommy your awesome, enjoy your presentation and enthusiasm!

Best video in a long time. Well done. Thank you.

Your best series ever easily. Love the Touareg. Thanks for awesome videos.

Oh yeah. That's what you guys are, and should be all about! It's like a review but with adventure. I'm already awaiting the next one!!

Wow! Very impressive. No sweat for the Rubicon, but hey that Touareg did a darn good job. For what it (Touareg) is - basically a car, it did a great job.

Great video guys! Nice work.

Excellent video! Red Cone is one of my favorites. Keep it up!!

Holy smokes! Tfl!! This video was really incredible, that red cone trail is ubsurd going down! I certainly wish I had a jeep or some sort and was in Colorado to check this out, wow!!!! So beautiful!!! So darrnn steeep!! One of my new fav Tfl videos of all time!

Great video, love the parts where Tommy is spotting over the radio but it sound like an event announcer, it’s as if the Touareg is a circus animal and Tommy is announcing it’s moves!🤣

Awesome video Roman and Tommy thanks guys! Also those guys behind the scenes great job everyone! It was incredible to watch the VW in action following the rubicon...is the rubicon completely stock? I think this is what I’d like to get when it’s time to upgrade my TJ.

superb video guys!! that touareg did amazing!

This was an amazing video! Thanks guys 👍

Great video 👍 I do miss seeing the Samurai. The Wrangler fan noise is because Jeep knows that cooling is essential, especially when crawling off-road.

Great video, Ive never been off road until now, Thank you

Great trail for a 4x4 test! If you need a tie breaker though going back up the one way section is a fun time... Of coarse you need friends on both ends to keep it clear safe. Keep up the fun and diverse content!

Guys, love these videos and glad to be done with all my work travel....Can finally start watching these regularly again🤘 cant wait to hit the trails with you all. Roman said it right, a cheap offroader with the right parts is how you keep up with 40k plus rigs😉 The old explorer is getting retired and a 2003 seqouia will be the new beater, cant wait to see its capability and build it up.

I want to take my KL on that trail. That is one amazing view. Great video.

Great !!! Thanks for this great video! Next week we get our new JL, we are looking forward :-) Greetings from Germany

I have a 2005 VW Touareg with locking center and read diff plus a 1999 LR Discovery 1 with locking center diff and EATON True Trac front and rear, so I loved this video... thanks for making it!

Love that you guys can come down the famous red cone decent WHILE narrating the video. That's very impressive.

nice channel, instant abo, thanks for those nice videos from germany/wolfsburg

I was thinking about getting an older VW.

Great video. Might be doing that trail next weekend. And congrats on your first trail damage - tree rash. My first damage was being hit by 2 different cars in two days. Miraculously, no one was hurt and I was the least for wear both times. Still think you should give more points on the ORI scale for vehicles with lockers. 10 points per is good.

This video had me watching the whole way through. Quite entertaining.

Great Video again! keep it up!

Truly,..a butt clenching ride,..super video! Thanks TFC,...Roman, Tommy and the 'un-named' camera crew!

These videos are great!! I fell in love with this Touareg!! But then again I’m all for anything but a Jeep

Wonderful Video!!! What a Quality - I like it

If you two keep it up, I’m going to have a dang JL, 2 door Rubicon in my garage!!! I live with Banff in my back yard, so to speak, so have some country almost as nice as what you two, and the team, have for off-roading. The Tourag is still impressing me as well, but that 2.0 litre Jeep!! Wow! Thanks for the fun video. Good to see some paint left behind, fortunately from the VW that is. Roman made me laugh when his first reaction turned into a joke about fixing the mirror with crazy glue.You fellas, and the team, have created one of the best off-road videos of this type for any channel I have watched! I have watched a LOT of them. Thanks so very much guys! Please play safe out there.......

Great video guys,I need to get sone new tyres on my Touareg Escape and go off road.

That was a great video!

Wow... my palms were sweating! That looked like fun!!!

The all time "How did a Volkswagen get up here?" moment. I have been so impressed from the moment you bought the Toureg.

I would love to see y’all do a mash up with a 08-12 Trail Rated Jeep Liberty vs the VW and even a Wrangler or Trailhawk anything. I have a 2010 Jeep Liberty Renegade and I haven’t done a whole lot with it and there wasn’t that much love for them.

I love my Touareg . You should have got the 3.0 V6 tdi , by far the best one . 225bhp 500 ft/lbs of torque. Mine has just tripped over to 143000 miles . Never lets me down . Only mod . 18" rims with All terrain tyres . It goes everywhere I need to go . Gives me 35mpg too .

Beautiful scenery. I will have to make a visit to CO and drive this trail. You should test more vehicles on this trail. Looks a little more challenging that the others you drive.

Great video!

Love the content, just want to point out the typo in the title!!

Great father and son team work

Nicely done. And kudos to the Touareg!

Unlock the front lockers from the Jeep and do it again and see how it does and keep the sway bar connected that would make it more fair

That Touareg is one capable car!!! Nice video!

Amazing video! Totally in awe of the effort you took to do all this, thanks so much! Do wish you would have given some more direct props to the Touareg though "...really impressed by how well the Jeep did..." - I might say its not overly impressive that it is doing what it should. "Certainly found the limits of the Touareg…" The places the Touareg had trouble seemed more about approach and driving than actual capability limits. Not saying it was perfect, but unless you guys edited out some disaster scenes, seemed really quite on par with what the Jeep did.

Really enjoyed this one

11:40 Tommy, you're exactly right. Despite the reduced articulation of an independent suspension compared to a straight-axle suspension, the independent suspension overall will be more comfortable. This matches my experience riding/driving in military vehicles, trucks, SUV's, and crossovers. For folks who no longer or do not have the physical and mental endurance of withstanding the pronounced side-to-side sway of straight-axle suspensions, lifting wheels at rough obstacles is a reasonable sacrifice of articulation assuming the vehicle has BLD-effect of traction control and/or lockers for that comfort of fully-independent suspension.

The main issue with the Touareg was the anxiety of the driver. The car looked like it handled it no problem...

Oh this is great. I want to try Red Cone in the Cherokee soon. This is one of the greatest, scariest trails in the world.

Nice one guys!

Great video thank you!

I'm very impressed with the amount of love and praise for the much mis understood Toureg What a fantastic well designed vehicle they were

Nice drone footage at the top of the mountain. The Jeep is insanely capable, still blows my mind.

The only experience I've had with Jeep was a Pink Jeep tour in Sedona, AZ. Those things can go anywhere and are truly amazing so it is pretty impressive the VW did as well as it did.

Thank you for a good video I would love to see a raptor go down this road

Great video.

Love Red Cone, such a great trail! I love how Roman said he was impressed by the Jeep...Why? That's what it was supposed to do. I am not a VW guy and I was impressed by the large Beetle.

Have you guys ever considered taking viewers of your channel on excursions? I see your videos in amazement of the beautiful terrain you play in and I think some of your viewers would love to experience it as well.

I hate VW and the whole diesel gate thing, but I am envious of that Touareg. It is truly a majestic beast.

I had a 2007 Touareg V10 TDI and as far as performance and how much of a tank it felt like, I was never disappointed. I have a few videos of it on my channel. Only took it off road twice and it felt invincible.
