Default Towing with a Cayenne?

Has anyone had any towing experience with a V6 and/or V8 Cayenne.

I would like to occassionally (not the main reason for the car) tow a 2 place horse trailer that would weight about 4,500 lbs on the average. I know the hitch is rated for 7,700 on both models but I wonder what the real life experience is like. I currently have a GMC Denali which has a higher rating please air suspension. I have some complaints about this in some situations but it is pretty neat when towing because as soon as you hook something on it it brings both the trailer and car up to a level position and maintains it.

I don't won't to pay the price for an air suspension on the Cayenne when this will only be towing somthing maybe three times a year. Any comments on this?
