Cayenne as a work vehicle?

I've been driving my Hummer H2 for long enough and now thinking about something different. I travel for work and will pull a 6x12 utility trailer but when I arrive at my work location the trailer comes off and I like a nice vehicle to run around in. Being a Porsche fan I like the Cayenne but never see one pulling anything. Is the Cayenne practical for this application? If so which model?

Great video. Which model would be best? I'm assuming the Turbo for power reasons. Any mods recomended to be done to the suspension for towing?

PutterMcGavin is infamous around these parts


I'm with Cole. But apparently you need to be towing something red...

Keep in mind too the Cayenne Turbo (and i believe S?) have a towing capacity of 7700 pounds which should be within 10% +/- of the H2. Additionally I'd say with the electronics of the towing package offered in the Cayenne it would probably be safer as well.

Man, do I love that video. I watched it several times before being an owner as justification of a Cayenne as a practical towing vehicle.

Another feature that would be helpful is PDCC to minimize body roll if you plan on towing up to the maximum limit (not to mention that larger brakes on the Cayenne Turbo and Turbo S).
