Hey guys,

Wanted to share some photos with ya'll.




I added a rear hitch receiver to my new (to me) Cayenne. It is a 3.6 vr6 - so not the IDEAL rig. However, I only had to run an hour cruise from Baltimore to York PA. Ran great in gear 7, 65mph and no issues.

I did get a fresh transfer case (thank you PCNA!) so I wasn't too concerned about that.



The reason for the haul:

After the last horrible shop experience I had locally, I decided to nut-up and take my car to the pros for a dial in...
She'll be at Translog for the next month or so, they were able to squeeze me in! Hoping for the best but the folks there are super kind and feel like the real deal.




Cheers!

Your.max tow capacity is 7700 so you are way below threshold. They make nice tow rigs. I use my diesel to tow my 24' enclosed with no issues.

Nice, use them like they’re meant to be used! Looks like it handles the uhaul rig a bit better than the wife’s GLE (my tow rig for the past 3 years). The uhaul is heavy at the tongue, I’m assuming they do this purposely for the amateur tow haulers.

Uhaul trailers are heavy and I’m not a fan of their wheel straps but are a cheap and easy way to tow a car. I probably picked up 10-12 914’s over the years with them. Now I use my friends feather light trailer and his dually truck. It’s really nice but I don’t want to own and care for a trailer.

A couple years ago my dad bought a used tractor off a Craigslist seller. I suggested he tow it home with a uhaul trailer on his Jeep Wrangler. He did the pickup, returned the trailer and was shocked when they said it was $28 for the day. He thought it was per hour.

Cayennes are fantastic for hauling P cars around. Buying one has been one of the better car choices I've made.

Glad to hear you're getting your car back on the right track. Hopefully it gets worked out soon.

I bought a Featherlite 17’, was designed for carrying Harley’s but fits the 914 perfectly, and because it is all aluminum there is little maintenance. I do have to jump in and out the window as the doors align to the wheels wells. Very easy tow with our 2020 Toyota LandCruiser Heritage.

I need a bigger tow vehicle, but last summer after I had my little accident the 914 went and returned on a rental U-Haul pulled by my son's Atlas. The trailer works very nice.Click to view attachment

Looks like U-Haul trailers weigh 2,200+ lbs, which is too heavy with a 914 on top for our family truckster.

What's a Featherlite weigh? Would need to find a friend with one, also…

that’s awesome!



Haha! Mine was $220 because it was 1 way. Woof.



Awesome to hear and only reinforces my purchase! Waiting on my 356 barn pull great pics.

Much appreciated, can’t wait to hear about the car. I’m sure they will love a few of my shade tree fixes. Lol

Can I join the party? Took my TDI when I bought mine in Atlanta. Pulled it home like a champ. Since U-Haul started putting modern tires on their trailers, they pull much better than they used to.

Wow. That’s a lot. Next time, call me when one of your cars needs a ride.
