Hey everyone, sorry for making yet another post on this subject.
I was wondering what the measured range of ride height adjustment is w/ PASM Air on a series Cayenne EH.
It’s a feature that I am going to spec on my build for sure, but wanted to do some maths for my trailex trailer. I plan on leveling my trailer with the suspension in it’s lowest sport setting while towing, and raising the suspension to its “lift” setting when loading / unloading the vehicle from the trailer to decrease the angle of the ramps. I just haven’t found what that exact number is.
Ground clearance difference between Low (6.7”) and Terrain (9.6”) is almost three inches.
Here’s an excerpt from the Technical Information document (attached).
Note some alternate terminology: Offroad I is labeled “High” in the PSM. Off-road II is labeled “Terrain” in the PSM. The Low level @ speed is referred to by Porsche as the “Deep” setting which is non-selectable and automatic at speeds above 130 mph as described here: https://presskit.porsche.de/models/e...c/chassis.html
Here are the actual ground-to-hitch height measurements in the Low and Terrain chassis settings. The measurements are consistent with the technical document showing a 2.9” difference.
Not sure how this will affect your plan to tow with chassis in Low setting. OP quoted below states the chassis will not automatically lower in Sport Mode when vehicle detects trailer. No mention if he could manually select Low.
Anybody with towing experience out there care to chime in?

(Better than the GTS in-fact) . . .
