Expert Answers about Porsche Cayenne


  • Trailer Hitch for Use with a Bike Rack on a 2016 Porsche Cayenne
  • For your 2016 Porsche Cayenne I recommend trailer hitch # 75950 because it does not require a strap when using the hitch with your bike rack. The Curt hitch # C13116 does have this requirement but it is the only one of the hitches for your Cayenne with the strap requirement. Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75950 is rated for 750 pounds tongue weight, which is more than enough for even the heaviest bike racks, but consult the vehicle owner's manual for its capacities and go by the lower rating.

  • 2016 Cayenne S E-Hybrid Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  • We do offer a hitch for your 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid. I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 75950. This is a Class lll hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. The Curt # C13136 would probably also fit, but since it hasn't been tested at this time I cannot recommend it.

  • 2013 Porsche Cayenne WD Hitch Recommendation Towing a 2014 Air Stream
  • Hopefully your Cayenne has a higher tongue weight rating than what you listed when used with a weight distribution system. Otherwise there is not safe way I can recommend you tow a trailer that exceeds it's towing capacities. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 2016 Porsche Cayenne
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13116 is a fit for your 2016 Porsche Cayenne. This is a Class lll hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening. Per CURT all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from CURT. You will want to check with your dealership to see if there is any trailer wiring available for your Cayenne. If you plan on doing...

  • Recommended 7-Way Connector For Cargo Trailer With Trailer Brakes
  • The factory 7-way connector on your 2012 Porsche Cayenne Base is the 7-way RV Standard. For a compatible trailer side 7-way connector for your cargo trailer I recommend the Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector # HS381-9000 which includes the required 7-way RV standard connector, and gives you a junction box to make all of your wiring connections.

  • Best Bike Rack for a Pedego Stretch Electric Cargo Bike
  • I did some research on your Pedego Stretch Electric Cargo Bike and it looks like due to the weight that the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE part # HLY84FR will be your best option. However, your bike weighs 65 lbs but the battery adds 12 lbs and the rack adds 8 lbs which brings your total to 85 lbs. We do not have a bike rack that can support an 85 lb bike but the Sport Rider SE can support 80 lbs. So, as long as you either A) remove the battery or B) remove the rack then you can safely...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2011 Porsche Cayenne
  • The two trailer wiring harnesses that were mentioned in the questions you viewed are both universal style harnesses that are slightly different. Both would work for installing a 4-way but the part # 119190KIT would be a bit more difficult to install since it requires splicing and the part # 119250KIT uses sensors that wrap around the wiring instead. I would recommend the # 119250KIT instead as it will install much easier.

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Porsche Cayenne and a 2 Inch Bike Rack
  • Yes, all of the trailer hitches that fit your 2016 Porsche Cayenne are Class III hitches with 2 inch receiver openings. You can use any of them with your bike carrier including Curt hitch # C13116. But Curt says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements. If you do not want to have to use a strap I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75950. It does not have the strap...

  • Recommended Snow Chains for Tire and Strut Clearance on a 2014 Turbo S Porsche Cayenne
  • Since clearance between your tires and struts is an issue the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains # TH02230K66 are what you want to use for the 295/35-21 tires on your 2014 Porsche Cayenne. These connect to the front of your wheel and only cover the tread portion of your tires which means no chance of then damaging anything behind your tires. Not only do these protect components behind your tires, they also do a great job at providing traction due to the dual-sided, D-shaped links and icebreaker...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2016 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid
  • For your 2016 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid we offer the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 75950 that is confirmed as a fit and would work well. For trailer wiring the only option we can recommend at this point is the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which is a universal wiring kit that requires no hardwiring. Basically you will test the wires of your vehicle taillights for the proper function and then clamp the connectors of this wiring kit on them and they will be able to sense the wiring function...

  • Ball Mount with Rise Solution for Towing Trailer that Sits up Higher than Trailer Hitch
  • What you'd need instead of a hitch rise adapter is a ball mount with a few inches of rise built into it like the # 2753 which can provide a 4 inch rise when in the rise position. Or if you have a ball mount now that you are using in the drop position you might try switching it around to the rise position to see if that works.

  • 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...

  • Recommended Universal-Fit Towing Mirrors for 2004 Porsche Cayenne
  • Since a universal-fit clip-on towing mirror like # KS3891 does not provide a satisfactory fit on the curved mirror housings on your 2004 Cayenne, I suggest a fender-mount towing mirror that will mount independently of your OEM mirrors. CIPA # 11650 is sold as a single mirror (so please order two for a pair) but it will fit on both driver and passenger doors of most vehicles. The mirror surface measures 5 x 7-inches and it extends out about 17-inches. This gives you a wide field of view...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Porsche Cayenne
  • The trailer wiring harness part # 119250KIT that you referenced will fit your 2015 Porsche Cayenne and will work great. This harness doesn't require any hardwiring to the vehicle's taillights to which makes the install easier and less invasive.

  • Recommended Brake Controller and Wiring for 2016 Porsche Cayenne
  • We can absolutely help you to get your 2016 Porsche Cayenne set up for towing your new trailer. You are on the right track with the wiring that will be necessary on your vehicle. It sounds like you recently had a 4-Way flat connector installed at the rear of the Porsche. From there, you will just need to install the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. This kit will include everything needed to install a fully functional 7-Way from the existing 4-Way. It includes a 7-Way connector that...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2005 Porsche Cayenne
  • For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. Additional wiring, from an authorized dealer, is necessary to correctly wire the brake control harness: (qty. 1) #1J0-972-782 housing and (qty....

  • Weight Distribution for a 2006 Porsche Cayenne S Rated for 617 Pounds Tongue Weight.
  • When towing, using weight distribution or not, you are limited to the capacity of the lowest rated component in the system. Even if a hitch is rated higher than the vehicle you would still go by the capacity of the vehicle. You can check your owner's manual but from what I found 617 pounds tongue weight is the limit for the vehicle and that is what you would want to go by. You can still use weight distribution but you will just be limited to 617 pounds tongue weight. Tongue weight can...

  • Adapting 2004 Porsche Cayenne 7-Way Trailer Connector to Trailer with 7-Way Rectangular Connector
  • We do not have a converter to go from a 7-Way blade-style trailer connector to a rectangular 7-Way. You will need to either change the connector on the 2004 Porsche Cayenne or the one on the trailer. The one on the trailer will be easier to change. You could use # H20042. The wire functions are as follows: White is ground Red is left turn/brake lights Brown is right turn/brake lights Green is running lights Blue is output to trailer brakes (not needed since the trailer does not have brakes) Black...

  • Universal Fit Towing Mirror Recommendations for a 2013 Porsche Cayenne
  • Since your factory mirror housing may not be conducive to the strap-on towing mirror style like # 7070 you have another option. The other option is a door mount mirror, # 11650. These mirrors hook to the bottom of the door and nearer the top where the bottom of the window meets the door. These mirrors will have the least vibration and best visibility. (Does not work with doors that have plastic body molding at the bottom of the door.)

  • Will the Thule Hitching Post 4 Bike Rack part # TH934XTR Work with my Mountain Bikes
  • Yes the Thule Hitching Post 4 Bike Rack part # TH934XTR would work out fine with your bikes. Both bikes have a slight drop in the top tube from what I could find so you could use the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # 64005 to keep the rear tires from being propped up into the air and allow the bike to sit more level but it is not necessary. Check out the linked video on it.
