  • Ball Mount with 2 inch Rise Recommendation for 2023 Porsche Macan
  • Right around a 2 inch rise would be your best ball mount solution to allow you to tow your trailer level. For that the Curt Ball Mount with 2 inch ball part # C45155 would work really well. It has the 2 inch rise you need and comes with a ball mounted to it and a hitch pin and clip so it would be everything you'd need.

  • Will Curt 7-Way Adapter For LED Lights C57003 Fix Hyper Flashing When Using Curt Echo Wireless
  • The Curt 7-Way Trailer Adapter for Towing Trailers with LED Lights # C57003 you referenced does have the same mounting attachment options as the 57003 shown on Curt's website, and will be be the correct component you need to fix the hyper flashing issue you are having when plugging in your trailer to your 2017 Porsche Cayenne as long as your trailer has LED lights. The # C57003 has built in resistors which needed for quite a few newer vehicles to recognize that a trailer with LED lights...

  • 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...

  • Best Way to Test for Tail Light Function on 2015 Porsche Macan
  • There may be a tester like that out there but it would be more high-end than what we carry so I recommend removing and unplugging the taillights on your 2015 Porsche Macan so you can use a tester like part # PTW2993 to get the functions you need to install the Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT. Attached is an installation video of the ZCI being installed on a 2017 Porsche Cayenne for you to reference.

  • Can Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller be Used on 2020 Porsche Cayenne
  • The Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C51180 will work if installed in your 2020 Porsche Cayenne. If you aren't seeing the power light come on that would indicate you don't have the power wire ran for the 7-way like the part # ETBC7L you referenced. Make sure you have the black wire ran to the positive battery post and you'd be set.

  • The Curt LED light kit part # C53201 requires a 4-way to activate which if you do not have that you'd need the part # 119250KIT for that. If you have a 7-way you can convert it to a 4-way with the part # HM47365.

  • Will the Pollack Replacement 7-Pole Trailer Connector Fit on a 2010 Porsche Cayenne
  • The Pollack 7-Pole, Trailer Connector Socket, # PK11893 is designed to be a replacement socket for vehicle that come with a factory 7-way connector. If your 2010 Porsche Cayenne came with a 7-way socket like this, then you can use this as a replacement. If you want to add a 7-way trailer connector on your vehicle that did not originally come with one, then you will first need to make sure that you have a 4-way flat connector. If you do not have a 4-way flat connector, then you will first...

  • Recommended 7 Way Trailer Connection to Fit a 2009 Porsche Cayenne
  • For your 2009 Porsche Cayenne, I'd recommend using Techonsha's ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 119250KIT, to get your 4-way trailer connection. This system doesn't require any splicing into your factory wiring which is a really cool way to make sure you don't void a warranty. I would then recommend you get the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat, # ETBC7. This kit will give you all the circuit breakers, wiring, and hardware...

  • 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...

  • What Wiring Components do You Recommend for Towing with My 2017 Porsche Mecan?
  • If you are just looking to mount accessories like a bike rack or cargo carrier on a hitch receiver installed on your 2017 Porsche Mecan, you do not need any additional wiring unless you are planning to install a tail light kit like the Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights- 4-Way Flat Connector # PE26UR. If you are planning to use this type of tail light kit or are planning to tow a light utility trailer, you will need the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector...

  • Is There a Trailer Brake Controller Plug for Aftermarket Trailer Brake Controller on 2022 Ford F-150
  • I do have an option for you but there are currently no aftermarket trailer brake controller options for a 2022 Ford F-150 that plug into the vehicle due to the missing plug. That said, you can have the factory integrated trailer brake controller added by the dealer or you can use the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller part # 3430001 which installs entirely on the trailer and does not require any reprogramming on the truck. Therefore, you can set this up at home and get going in no time...

  • 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...

  • Sway Control that Can be Used with 2013 Porsche Cayenne
  • Since your 2013 Porsche Cayenne is not rated for use with a weight distribution system and we don't have suspension enhancement options either the only thing we really could help with would be with a sway control device like the # 335TSC-1000 which can tell if your trailer is starting to sway and will apply the brakes in a way that will correct it.

  • 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.

The ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness will then provide you with a standard...

  • Recommended Coupler Lock for Leverlock Style Coupler
  • For a lock that will fit your leverlock coupler I recommend the Fastway Universal Trailer Coupler Lock for 1-7/8", 2" and 2-5/16" Couplers # FA86-0015-318. This uses a ball and shackle to keep your coupler secure and will fit any ball size. This lock features an anti-drill pin and a bolt-blocked locking system to keep it from being pried open or drilled out. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
