Default 2009 Cayenne Turbo or GTS

I am planning to buy 2009 Cayenne Turbo or GTS, so the purpose is:
1. Daily driving
2. Towing my 2010 GT3 for 800KMs
3. Family car

My concerns are for each of them:
1. Which one is capable to be used in daily
2. Which one is capable more for towing
3. Which one has less failures
4. I know Turbo maintenance higher than GTS but by how much considering I will renew the warranty for up to 2018 in yearly basis

Selling Prices are exactly the same for both

No, just stirring the pot.
Had you selected GTS, I would have been forced to select TT.

For entertainment value I prefer the GTS but my daily driver is the CTT.

It is a trick question.
The answer is neither GTS nor TT.
The answer is a V6 Cayenne.

It has been established that the Cayenne V6 is superior in every way, including actually appreciating in value rather than depreciating, and having superior fuel economy while having the same tow capacity.

Towing means torque and torque means turbo hands down.

As for a DD, the turbo is only 1.4 seconds a lap slower than a C4S ...same driver, same track.

Turbo.
