W211 Estate - as a tow car?

[Rosscow]

Following on from my thread here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I'm potentially looking at replacing our 2006 A6 Avant 3.0 TDI with a W211 estate.

This will be my wife's everyday car and will also be used to tow our large twin axle caravan.

Am I right in thinking that ideally I want to go for a 2007 onwards (facelift) model?

Anything I need to know about, look out for, etc?

And am I correct in thinking they come with self levelling rear suspension as standard? I have adaptive air suspension on the A6 and wouldn't want to tow without it.

Many thanks!

Looks like I've answered my own question - 75kg tow ball limit is too low for our van.

Nevermind!
