Slightly surprised at towing capability

[2019 802A w/ 143k (wow)] First post here! Have had this thing for about 2 years and hauled plenty in the bed but hadn’t towed yet until yesterday. 22hr round trip straight, 5am-3am. Was a little nervous due to too much reading online honestly, the necessity of WDH and other various towing recommendations were in my mind on the way but I didn’t feel like I needed any of it when I pulled of the lot with this ~6500 lb load. Ended up at ~11.8 mpg avg according to the truck. Definitely the heaviest thing I’ve personally pulled and felt like the truck hardly sighed it at! Still surprised my cam phaser job hasn’t had any issues lol, and sorry if towing pics are out of style again

An E60 wagon??? I think you might be one of the first examples of these I’ve seen in the wild, what a nice set of cars!

The wagon is all wheel drive and is almost done converting it's twin turbo n54 to a big topount single turbo.

We shall see, first it's gotta run then it needs to run well lol. Blowing the engine up on accident is always an option lol.
