Default Towing with the Macan

A quick search returned that the towing capacity to be 5291 lb's (braked).

Are many members planning on towing duties with their Macan? If so what?

This means I will likely have to source a light weight car trailer to keep it well under the threshold, I'd rather not be on the edge of its limits.

Now it somewhat beacons the question about which suspension is best suitable! In saying that our X5 just had regular suspension and handled it like a champ.

id tow a trailex 7045 loaded with a 964 if I had to…. Air suspension would be nice to Keep the truck level i assume….

But i will only be hauling groceries and skis with a Macan.

Just looked at the trailex as suggested, wow. Did not realise how light they were, seems like we could get under 4000Lb's loaded!

I wonder what it'd cost me to get one back home, Maybe there is a local equivalent?

And, no groceries in this macan... we have a beater for going to such places, too many idiots run into or open their doors on your car at shopping centres here.. we have a rule in this house, no nice cars at shopping centres & car parks.
