  • How to Pick Out Correct Roof Rack Fairing for 2020 Porsche Cayenne Roof Rack
  • Hey Phil, so Thule doesn't list fits for their fairings but we can still help you pick out what you would want. The key is to measure the distance between the feet or front to back rails on the vehicle roof rack and then go with the fairing that fits that measurement the best. So if you get 44 inches or slightly over the part # TH82WV would be what you would want. We also have a 52 inch long fairing part # TH22WV and 38 inch part # TH72WV.

  • Installation of Curt 13136 Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2018 Porsche Macan

  • Will Draw-Tite Hitch Fit a 2021 Porsche Macan S Model
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75940 will fit your 2021 Porsche Macan S. It looks like Draw-Tite recently (December 2021) updated their fit list to include the 2021 model and if you check out the attached clip from the linked instructions you can see that there are provisions for cutting the fascia on the S model.

  • Trailer Hitch Compatibility with 2005 Porsche Cayenne
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 13220 is the only confirmed fit we have for your 2005 Porsche Cayenne. Although this hitch is confirmed to fit other models, the other models are not confirmed to fit with your bumper. The Draw-Tite hitch # 75950 has not been tested on your vehicle according to the manufacturer so I cannot confirm the fit. There are support parts of the hitch that stick out differently than the Curt Hitch so it would be a gamble but it may...

  • Adding a 7-Way to 2013 Porsche Cayenne
  • To add a 7-way to your 2013 Porsche Cayenne that will allow you to pull a larger trailer and use a brake controller I recommend the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L. This is very similar to the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7 with the difference being that you will not have to wire the lead from the brake controller to the brake output pin on the 7-way. This will make installation easier but keep in mind there are only certain brake controllers that the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit # ETBC7L will...

This wiring harness does not require splicing into factory wiring. I have include a link to a video on a 2017 Porsche Cayenne to give you an idea of how it installs.

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for Rim Protection on 265/45-20 Tires for 2019 Porsche Macan
  • We do have a few different tire chain options from Konig that will fit and offer rim protection for the 265/45-20 tires on your 2019 Porsche Macan. For a standard set of chains you'll want the XG12 Pro # th2004705265. These drape over the tires like normal and then it fits and uses plastic pieces to protect the rim. The next step up is the Easy Fit # th04115265 which drape over the tire as well, but this is has an easy on/off system so that you won't be messing with the chain for very...

  • Adding A Bike Rack To A TigerMoth Travel Trailer

  • Will the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller Work On a 2016 Porsche Cayenne
  • The Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller part # 3430001 is an excellent option for a 2016 Porsche Cayenne. In regards to parts needed, there would be no additional components for the Cayenne assuming it did in fact come with a factory tow package. If you take a look at the rear of the vehicle you should see a round trailer connector with seven pins inside which would indicate you do indeed have the factory tow package. In regards to the trailer, you would simply use ring terminals if...

  • You will be able to install the Curt Echo Under-Dash Trailer Brake Controller # C27JR on your 2018 Porsche Macan using the factory wiring harness. However, there is no custom wiring adapter that will plug into your factory port so you will need to hardwire it in for installation.

  • Best Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2008 Porsche Cayenne
  • In order to tow a trailer with your 2008 Porsche Cayenne you are going to need a trailer hitch receiver, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. For a trailer hitch receiver, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13220 as long as you do not have a trunk mounted spare tire. This is actually the only hitch we have for your vehicle. It has a Class III rating with a 2" receiver tube opening. The 6,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) and 600 lb (TW) would be more than sufficient...

  • Why Does Curt Trailer Hitch Have Lower Rating Than Towing Capacity of 2006 Porsche Cayenne
  • Usually when a trailer hitch capacity doesn't quite match up to the limits of the vehicle it's designed to fit, it's because it's also a fit for other vehicles that have a different tow rating. I wish I had a better answer for you, but the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # 13220 does list a 6,000 pound towing capacity and I can't recommend going over this limit. These hitches do likely have a safety margin in place with regards to their listed ratings (which I think you alluded to), but...
