Not for everyone, but I got rid of my F150 (worst vehicle I ever owned except a used Chevy wagon in the 80s). The F150 was a dog and the engine on the very low mileage pig died. Replaced it with a used Cayenne Turbo and a trailer about the size of a pickup bed (about $2K). It is incredibly versatile, has a huge back seat, all wheel drive and can tow 7716 lbs. Have used it for everything from pulling up fence posts/tree stumps to hauling all sorts of equipment. Towed large trailers and cars cross country in comfort. Works especially well with my Trailex aluminum trailer to drag a 911 around. You can fold down the back seat and haul most stuff in the climate controlled back cargo area and not need the trailer...and not have to worry about rain...or theft if you have to stop somewhere. Everything is locked in an alarmed, relatively secured, weatherproof area. It doubles as a great, luxurious, family vehicle. It is easy to drive, easy to park and brakes and accelerates like a Porsche. I like mine so much that it has become my daily driver.
