Cayenne Towing

boothy · May 24, 2004

Hi all,

Has anybody any experience of using the Cayenne as a tow vehicle?
I am likely to need one soon and as there is now a cheap(er) model now available it becomes a possibility.
Any experiences, good or bad, gratefully received along with any other useful option suggestions if used for towing - air suspension?

Thanks

I'll have a look, but basically he was mighty impressed towing his race car and various others. It replaced a Range Rover. And he can still outdrag most things from the lights, WITH a loaded trailer...

Be very afraid..... [

should be ideal - the recomendation is that the weight of the vehicle being towed is less than 85% of the weight of the towing vehicle, this leaves a huge range of options out there for you therefore. The Toureg has been tested as a tow-car and comes highly rated - the cayenne should therefore be even better. I would suggest the air suspension as it add extra stability. Just stand back and wait for the wails and knashing of teeth when the purists see their first cayenne towing a caravan however!!
