Well, I ordered mine and it was delivered with none of the common issues listed here. I don't have a hesitation, I don't have any issues with trailer lights on the three different trailers I have towed with it. With a set of 20" summer and 18" winter wheels/tires I don't have a vibration problem. I mounted the new set of 20's myself and balanced them on a regular old balancer, nothing fancy, no problems. Luck of the draw I guess.

Curious what kinds of trailers you towed with and how many running lights they had? Bet it didn't have too many running lights as the first time I towed a small single axle enclosed trailer it worked fine. When I hooked up my ATC 18' enclosed trailer, I had to disconnect several of the running lights ( over 20 on it stock) to get the running lights to work at all, and it still gives me the famous !. Hooked up the same trailer to a friend's Nissan Titan pickup and my neighbor's Suburban and they worked fine... don't get Lewis and me going...

Got my 996 back today after 2 weeks. Returned the Cayenne S after 1200 miles clocked.
Service manager asks, "How did you like it?"
I ticked off the 3 issues in my 1st post here. He asks, "Have you owned a Cayenne before?". I say , "No.". He replies, "Funny, you just mentioned the 3 top complaints with this vehicle." I just smiled and thanked him for the loaner. Maybe next model.

Don't worry about Itc, just read his posts, he lives to complain about the Cayenne.
Yeah, I'm sure I'll get blamed for scaring another customer away.
