  • Can I Tow a Bass Boat With the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver on a 2016 Porsche Macan

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Porsche Macan
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13136 that you mentioned is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Porsche Macan and would work well. To then install trailer wiring you'd want the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which is a great fit that requires no splicing. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

  • Can Thule Hullavator or Another Kayak Carrier be Installed on a 2017 Porsche Macan Factory Roof Rack
  • The Thule Hullavator kayak carrier # TH898 does not fit factory roof rack crossbars because it requires that the bars stick out past the mounting foot 4 to 8 inches. Factory roof racks do not have this feature. Another option that you may like is the Malone DownLoader # MPG114MD with the Telos load assist # MPG351XL. This combination will also provide a load assist feature for loading/unloading the kayak. You could use 2 of the DownLoaders, one on each side of the vehicle, but you would...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2015 Porsche Macan
  • Yes, you will need a brake controller to activate the electric brakes of your 2015 Porsche Macan. You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would need to get that from your local Porsche dealer since we do not carry trailer wiring for you vehicle at this time. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7.

  • Brake Controller For A 2015 Porsche Macan

  • How Does Repair Kit for Titan Couplers Install
  • For the tubular and semi-tubular rivets like what comes with this kit you would need a rivet clincher tool available at hardware stores and some auto parts stores could have a selection as well. It will be a matter of putting the spring on the shaft pushing the shaft up from the underside of the coupler and then riveting the shaft to the latch with the included rivet. The hole in the shaft of the pin is for attaching it to the latch.

  • Does the Curt Hitch # C13136 Fit the 2015 Porsche Macan
  • The Curt Hitch part # C13136 that you referenced is designed to fit your 2015 Porsche Macan as well as an Audi Q5. The install pics we have on our site show this hitch installed on the Q16 which has a different lower fascia than your vehicle. In the picture I attached you can see that the crosstube is largely visible when this hitch is installed on a Q16.

  • 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.

  • 7 Pole Plug For A 2017 Porsche Macan S
  • To add 7 pole to your 2017 Porsche Macan S, since there is not an OEM wiring harness that is compatible and you have to use Item # 119250KIT, I recommend adding Item # ETBC7L. This kit plugs directly into your four pole plug and comes with everything to connect to the battery. This kit also allows you to use a wireless brake controller like Item # C51180. Using a wireless brake controller does not require you to run any additional wires to the inside of the vehicle.

  • Recommended Bike Rack For Carrying Priority Turi And Zizzo Bike On 2017 Porsche Macan
  • The Kuat NV 2.0 # BA22B, Saris SuperClamp EX # SA4025F, and ThuleT2 Pro XTR # TH83JV are all considered wheel-mount racks, which typically means they will not work for bikes with fenders, like your Priority Turi. However, even if your model does happen to have fenders I recommend going with the Saris SuperClamp EX 2 Bike Platform Rack # SA4025F. The more robust design of the SuperClamp's wheel cradles (front and rear) along with their respective straps WILL allow the rack to work with...
