From seeing your projects, I see that you are very familiar with the VW family based on your projects.
For a tow rig, why not add the Grand Cherokee CRD to your list of potential options? 2.7 liter Mercedes but difficult electronics if you want to swap a 2.2 in place. And it's automatic...

Do you plan to get an automatic or manual transmission?

Regarding Touareg with 1.9 from the factory, I've never heard of such a thing.
