I'm no expert so I'm just throwing this out there as something to ask the experts about.
The brakes are great. 6 Piston calipers on the front. Same as the Porsche Cayenne SUV. They are certainly WAAAAY better than my old Expedition brakes. The only thing with the VW is its a reasonable short wheelbase. It tows, and stops, my 24' Four winns great. I can't provide an opinion on a 27' sled trailer though....
If money is no object, look at the Porsche Cayenne. You can get it with a V8 and air suspesion as well. Your probably at $90K at theat point though
