Expert Reply:

So long as the trailer hitch on your tow vehicle - in your case the Cayenne - is rated for weight distribution the tow vehicle won't matter for the weight distribution hitch. In order to choose the best weight distribution system you will first need to know your total tongue weight, which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer.

The tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's GVWR but you'll want to verify it by using a scale such as # e99044.

The ideal system would be one in which your tongue weight falls somewhere in the middle of the weight distribution system's tongue weight capacity. For example, if your tongue weight was 475 lbs you would want the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution # BLU36FR, which is for TTW between 200 lbs and 600 lbs.

I have added a link below to our entire selection of weight distribution hitches which you can filter through by tongue weight.
