I was looking at the early generation Cayennes and thinking about trading the Rabbit in. I haven't really heard of any problems with these 'trucks' but maybe I'm missing something...
Anyone own one of these guys? What do you think? How long have you had it? Anyone heard of common problems with the drivetrain? Looking into it for a tow vehicle. |

IMHO
If the stated reason for owning one was for a shop tow bitch, I think that you have a ton of better options out there. If the stated reason is that you want a luxury SUV to drive around town and occasionally have to pull something with, get the cayenne. For a shop vehicle that is going to get dented and carry all manner of foulness, get a cheap (compared to the Cayenne) Chevy, Dodge or Toyota truck. Heck, even a Jeep Cherokee would make a better option, IMHO. Zach |
