Expert Answers about Porsche Macan


  • Is Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap Required with Thule Anti-Sway Strap
  • Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap # 18050 needs to be used when using the Curt Hitch Receiver # C13136 for anything other than towing a trailer. The support is required by Curt's warranty. Which is why I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Hitch Receiver # 75940 over the Curt for your 2017 Porsche Macan. They're both rated the same and the Draw-Tite doesn't require the use of the strap. The Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR is an example of a Thule rack that has the anti-sway...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2015 Porsche Macan
  • Yes, we do have a trunk mounted bike rack for your Porsche Macan. It is the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack item # Y02638. This bike rack has a 90 lbs total capacity and a single-bike weight capacity of 35 lbs. I really like this bike rack because it has padded feet and coated metal buckles that protect your trunk from scratches and scuffs. I have linked a review video below.

  • Installation of Trailer Hitch on 2018 Porsche Macan
  • There are a few installation notes regarding Curt Trailer Hitch # C13136 on a 2018 Porsche Macan.

There will also be some minor fascia trimming, as you can see by the accompanying cut out of the installation instructions I added for you.

  • Weight Capacity of Curt Class III # C13136 for 2015 Porsche Macan
  • The Curt Class III # C13136 has a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs, which is plenty to handle the weight of the Thule T2 Pro # TH83JV and the bikes placed on it. The T2 Pro has a weight capacity of 120 lbs (60 lbs per bike.) The hitch is compatible with the 2015 Porsche Macan. I've linked you to an install video showing the hitch being installed on an Audi Q5. The installation for your Macan would be identical.

  • Brake Controller For A 2015 Porsche Macan

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.

  • Can Factory Trailer Wiring Harness on 2015 Porsche Macan Deliver 40-Amps Current for Chair Lift
  • Since we do not sell the OEM wiring harness that was factory installed in your 2015 Porsche Macan you can determine its amperage capacity by checking with your dealership or by seeing what value fuse is associated with it. It is NOT likely that the wiring harness can deliver 40-amps especially if the vehicle uses low-power-demand LED lighting. You'll also want to confirm the actual power draw from the lift's motor; is the 40-amps continuous or peak current draw? Tri-Lift offers several...

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller for 2018 Porsche Macan with Factory 7-Way
  • The brake controller I highly recommend for your 2018 Porsche Macan is the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 because it is the easiest brake controller on the market to use. Since you have the factory 7-way on your Macan you do not need any additional wiring The Curt Echo will simply plug into your Macan's 7-way, as you can see by the accompanying photo; the only other thing you would need in order to use this brake controller is a smartphone.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for Airstream RB16 Caravel Camper
  • The most value for a weight distribution system that would work great for the weight of your Airstream RB16 Caravel would be the Reese Pro Round Bar kit part # RE94FR. This has a tongue weight rating of 400-800 lbs and also comes with a hitch ball so you wouldn't need anything else.

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Porsche Macan
  • The Curt hitch part # C13136 that you referenced once installed on your customers 2015 Porsce Macan S will look very similar to the picture I attached that shows it installed on an Infiniti Q5. We haven't had the chance to install this hitch on a Macan yet so we don't have any pictures of it on one. I confirmed with my contact at Curt that the hitch will fit the S models as well.

  • Recommended Propane Hose to Convert a POL Fitting to a Quick Disconnect Fitting on my Firepit
  • After checking out the fire pit it has a standard POL type fitting on the factory hose. By switching this hose with the Quick Disconnect Propane Hose part # 37207-31195 you will be able to plug the grill directly into the existing quick connect port on your camper. This is a 12' hose that will allow you to get the pit away from the RV to prevent any issues.

  • Best Bike Rack for a 2018 Porsche Macan That Won't Limit Loading Cargo Into Hatch
  • The best bike rack we have for your 2018 Porsche Macan with cargo access in mind is hands down the RockyMounts BackStage 2 Bike Platform Rack part # RKY10002. The reason for this is because it has a swinging mechanism that will allow you to swing the bike rack out with the bikes attaches so you can get to any of the items in your cargo area. There are a few folding bike racks that may allow you to open the hatch with the bike rack attached but most require that you remove the bikes and...

The rack for your 2020 Porsche Macan will consist of the following: Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00426, BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, part # Y28TR, BaseClip...

  • 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. If you are planning on towing with this vehicle then you need wiring like the ZCI Wiring Kit # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit like part # 989900. If the purpose...
