"the trailer was a 2019 Heartland Wilderness. The smallest of these is the M-2375BH at 28’ 9”, weighing in at 5,644 pounds with a hitch weight of 690 pounds dry. These numbers are within spec for the Cayenne depending on how the tow vehicle itself was loaded and how the trailer was loaded."

So he assumed the wrecked trailer actually was the smallest Wilderness model, took the trailer manufacturer's word about its weight, and then assumed that it wasn't loaded beyond the Porsche's rated capacity...

I agree, the GVWR of that model is 6900lbs. if it and the Porsche were both loaded it was likely over its rating. Sometimes the tail wags the dog.

I agree, and based on what we see coming into parks, we will see more of this. Starting to see a lot of small to mid sized SUVs pulling fairly long TT, that is not a good combination. The issue is length not weight.

Well this is also on another forum I am on. Based on the roof layout and lack of a rooftop refer vent I came to the conclusion it was a 2500RL with the refer in a slide. the weights are below;
Weight:

Dry Weight 6,026 lbs.
Payload Capacity 1,342 lbs.
GVWR 7,400 lbs.
Hitch Weight 688 lbs.
Length 31' 11"
