  • 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...

  • Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2017 Porsce Cayenne Have Deep Enough Hitch Pin for Carrying Bike Rack
  • Sounds like you are concerned about the depth of the pin hole of the Draw Tite hitch part # 75950 to make sure it's going to fit your bike rack. I can assure you that the depth of the pin hole on this hitch will allow it to work great with any bike rack designed for 2 inch hitches. The shallow hitch pin issue that prevents bike racks from installing in hitches is related to Subaru OEM 1-1/4 inch hitches. Draw Tite does a really good job making sure their hitches work with all standard hitch...

  • 2004 Porsche Cayenne S Brake Controller Recommendation
  • Since hardwiring a brake controller to a 2004 Porsche Cayenne can be a bit complicated (see FAQ link), your best option would be the RF brake controller part # TK94FR. This only requires the 12 volt power circuit of the 7-way be completed. This is the pin on the 5:00 position. It will need to have voltage at all times.

  • Recommended Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2017 Porsche Macan
  • The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver that I recommend for a 2017 Porsche Macan is going to be dependent on what you will be using the trailer hitch for. If you are using the trailer hitch for just a bike rack or cargo carrier then part # SH84FR but if you are using the trailer hitch for towing or towing and/or a bike rack or cargo carrier then part # SH84FRT. The nice thing about the above is you only need one part number for all of the other needed components so you don't have to worry...

  • Best Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo with Raised Roof Rails
  • The best choice for a low noise roof rack for your 2012 Porsche Cayenne would be the Thule Aeroblade Edge roof rack part numbers # TH7503-TH7503 the shapes of these bars were designed to create the least amount of wind noise possible, and since the bars do not extend past the feet of the rack that's less bar to create noise and it allows them to sit lower as well. Being lower means they are even less in the wind than the higher bars.

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Connector Recommendation for 2015 Porsche Cayenne
  • To install a 4-way on your 2015 Porsche Cayenne I recommend the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT as it installs without any splicing. 4-ways don't have doors so in case you have a 7-way and need an adapter to give you a 4-way you'd want the # PK12716.

  • What Setup Do I Need to Install a Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack on My 2005 Porsche Cayenne?
  • I have a solution for you. Unfortunately, the Rhino-Rack Universal Pioneer Platform Rack for Crossbars - Aluminum - 58" Long x 47" Wide # RR42115BF does require crossbars, but it is not compatible with HD crossbars. With that being said, we do carry the Rhino Rack Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 that have a maximum weight capacity of 175 - pounds when mounted on your 2005 Porsche Cayenne. This is the exact weight rating as the Rhino-Rack HD bars # RB1250B-2. For a compatible roof rack with...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Porsche Cayenne

  • AC unit for 1999 Coleman Utah Pop Up Trailer
  • If you are adding an AC to the roof of your Coleman Utah you will need to reinforce the roof so that it can withstand the weight of the AC unit. This will also help with the thickness of your roof because most popup campers are not 2-1/2" thick, which is required for AC installations. Whether you are adding or replacing an AC the Advent Air RV Air Conditioner is a nice addition to your Coleman Utah. The 13,500 btu model will put out enough air to help keep you comfortable on your trip...

  • Lock for Curt Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier on a 2012 Subaru Outback
  • Manufacturers uniquely thread the bolts and weldnuts on their products so you can't use different brands. The Curt cargo carrier # C18145 does have an anti-ratlle hitch bolt already but no lock that will fit. The solution is to use a cable lock such as # 8291DPS for a 3 footer or # e98891 for a 10 footer.

  • Wiring Adapter For 2009 Porsche Cayenne With 7-Way Connector Towing Trailer With 4-Pole Connector
  • If the trailer you are planning on towing has LED lights, the adapter you can use is part # C35FR. This adapter is needed because you have a bulb-out sensor on your Cayenne. When you use a trailer with LEDs, they draw so little power and cause the Cayenne to think a bulb is burned out. If the trailer has incandescent bulbs you can use a 7-way to 4-way connector like part # PK12716.

  • 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...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2015 Porsche Cayenne S-E Hybrid
  • The only trailer wiring harness that will work with the 2015 Porsche Cayenne is going to be # 119250KIT.

  • Can Curt Brake Controller Install on 2009 Porsche Cayenne
  • For the 2009 Porsche Cayenne you can install a Curt brake controller like the part # C24VV but due to the complex wiring of your vehicle we don't have a specific fit harness for it. I attached a tech bulleting below that details everything that's needed to install a controller as well as a fitguide list for all the controllers that fit your vehicle. If you had ran your vehicle through our fitguide you'd seen the list of controller and how they need to install. If you searched for brake...
