My wife has the new XC90 but based on the tow rating I was considering picking up an older used Cayenne as my tow vehicle.

Yes.

I will report back soon as I just got the trailer and have only pulled it around empty.

Lots of guys with T8 XC90's over on the Swedespeed forum pulling trailers, some with T6's as well. The reviews are generally positive for towing with it. The self-leveling air suspension option is a must have IMO.

Great! We have the T8 with air suspension so hopefully it should work well. Looking forward to your feedback.
