Hitch shipped almost immediately and had frequent communication from e trailer on delivery status. Customer service was exceptional.
Vw dealer did install in less than 2 hours. Had done prior etrailer product installs and spoke highly of product. Overall a seamless experience and I saved hundreds from oem vw hitch quote. Strongly recommend etrailer and products.
by: Toby09/02/2013
Fit and finish are great. I didn't give it an Excellent because it didn't have the stock tow points in the hitch. Other than that it was flawless and I was able to install by myself, taking my time and being careful, in less than 3 hours.
Few notes: Pull fender trim straight out, perpendicular to the body, as the clips are fragile plastic and can break. Tail light securing "bolt" is retained, that is, it won't come out so you don't have to worry about it falling down into the paneling. Tail lights come out by pulling straight back - make sure plastic retaining bolt is pulled as far as it will go into the interior of the vehicle. Tail light electrical connector is removed by pulling red tab up, away from light assembly, and then pressing the black tab in it. Pull connector up/away from light assembly. Black pins in fender are a pain to remove, even after pushing the center pin all the way down. Work cautiously here to avoid scraping the paint; I ended up using needle-nose pliers to remove the darned things. I reused the foam insert, using my metal-cutting bandsaw (slower speed) for the trimming. Cut along the mold seam that's visible on the lower rear of the foam (back is back, front is front) and it should be perfect (instructions say it should be loose).

My Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver was delivered quickly and as advertised. What really shines about etrailer is the detailed instructions, including the video that was available covering the installation on my VW Touareg. Installation required a good bit more work than on some other vehicles, and I likely wouldn't have attempted it myself had I not been able to view the videos online and see that it looked like something I could handle. I'm only "handy" not a mechanic by any means and though it took some time, I was able to do it on my own, with some help from my wife when an extra set of hands was needed. The application specific, detailed instructions along with the video for some additional perspective helped the installation go smoothly.

Nice hitch, feels real solid, quick delivery. I was able to install in 2hrs. The tutorial video was very helpful but nothing can prepare you for removing the plastic wheel well trim. I did a little damage there. The hitch held up well to a big bike rack and will be towing snowmobiles come winter.

I think the picture says it all
This is the 4 hitch we have bought from etrailer, and can honestly say I have been very happy
This install on my Porsche has been one of the easier installs(yes even easier than my x5).
Becky was great in answering my questions and ensuring I had the correct hitch even provided some some initial install details. Thanks.

The trailer hitch fit perfectly. The instructions for installation were correct save six additional screws that needed to be removed from left and right wheel wells. My model did not have mud flaps. The hitch arrived with in a week. Excellent savings over OEM hitch. Thank you etrailer.

2011 Porsche Cayenne
Fits my 2011 Cayenne S just perfectly. Very sturdy, sturdier than original bumper. I can tell by the weight, it's 40+ lbs, about twice of original one. Two inches hitch works in every scenario. BTW delivery was quick, got in like 3-4 days. Thanks!
by: James06/19/2022
Perfect fit… And an easy installation!
My little neighbor buddy helped me put it on…
Thx again !
by: Tom B10/16/2020
Trailer hitch fit like a glove, looks like it was installed at Porsche Factory. The light hook up was purchased at dealer. and had to have them add a part for $800.00 they forgot to sell me to put on. but the trailer hitch is great. not used yet but ready when needed.

Installed this on my '12 Cayenne. Did the install myself. Fit perfectly. It's held up great. I recommend the hitch.
I also used the Tekonsha Modulite ZCI trailer light. That was awesome. No splicing of wires. Worked great with Porsche which can be very difficult to put a wiring harness on.

Great service. Purchased for a 2014 VW Touareg.
-Easy to find the hitch I needed. Installation video was spot on. This was very helpful with the over complicated VW install. Product was as described and shipped very quickly. My only issue was the packaging. Hitch was not damaged. Looks like they fit the hitch in diagonally but the side wall did not hold once the box was picked up. There were some non-legit looking sites advertising a cheaper price. However, of the reputable hitch sites it had the best pricing I could find and they offered free shipping.

2011 Volkswagen Touareg
I was skeptical about this product and even more so about installing it myself. I'm not remotely handy and have never done any work on a car (even removing body panels made me extremely nervous).
A year in, and I've used this hitch countless times without an issue. No squeaking, loose fittings, or electric issues.
All in, it took about 4-6 hours for me to install. The directions/instructions were pretty spot on and easy to follow.
Would recommend to anyone looking to save money with a DIY project.

The trailer hitch receiver bar was on sale at E-trailer for a great price, plus free shipping! Ordering on the website was really easy and the product shipped right away. It arrived at my house in just three days. The trailer hitch receiver appears to be of high quality. I have not yet installed it on my vehicle, so I can't comment on how that process is, but so far I am quite pleased with my entire transaction.

Volkswagen Touareg
This hitch was well designed and built. It fit perfectly. The installation videos provided were very helpful. Delivery of my order was quicker than expected which was much appreciated. Would highly recommend this product for the VW Touareg.
I also ordered the Curt PWM Powered Converter with Wiring Kit - C56201KIT at the same time. This installation also went well with the help of the videos provided and I would also recommend this product be installed at the same time as the hitch.
by: Norm09/23/2021
Great hitch for a good price and installation looks like a factory install. You’ll need a friend to help with the install and some inexpensive plastic body tools to help getting body panels off without any scratches. For a rookie that’s handy with most tools, I’d rate the job an 8 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. Thinking of pulling off body panels on an expensive vehicle is rather daunting but the job is easier than it seems.

2013 Volkswagen Touareg
Excellent product and outstanding service from Adam at etrailer. The hitch is well made and installed easily on my 2013 Touareg. The etailer installation video was very helpful. Install time for the hitch was about an hour and a half.
I wanted to be able to install the hitch over the weekend and called on Thursday to order it. Adam did an outstanding job to make sure it got on the truck so that I could get it the next day.
I wouldn't hesitate to order from etrailer again.
by: RB03/26/2021
The company stood by its pledge and honored their lowest price promise. Pleased with my purchase. The how to install video was very useful. The hitch receiver fit the vehicle perfectly. I think the product could be packaged a bit better so the paint doesn't get damaged in shipping.
by: K. Smith08/18/2016
2013 Volkswagen Touareg
Hitch looks identical to VW's OEM hitch but costs 5x less! The Touareg specific installation instructions w/ color "step by step" photos were a huge plus. This product is a no brainer if needing a hitch for your Touareg.

This is my 3rd trailer hitch from etrailer and I couldn't be happier!
Fits my Porsche Cayenne perfectly and looks like an OEM product.
by: Charles 12/12/2021
Exactly as described, find a video on [online] on how to take your plastic off to access the hitch. This was the hardest part. Hitch fit perfectly. Whine project completed in about 2-3 hrs with help from one other person.

Saved a lot of money purchasing from etrailer.com and installing myself. I'll do business with etrailer.com again. I am pleased with the quality of the Curt Trailer Hitch. Looks, and works great. DIY!

Thanks so much for the great service, etrailer! Ordered a hitch for my VW Touareg on Monday - and a helpful rep made sure it was the right one. The hitch arrived Thursday and was installed Friday! Couldn’t have been a better customer experience!

Product was excellent and fits great.
Installation was a stinker. Probably some of our own doing but either way, the product is very good.

- How to Change 4-Flat to 5-Flat on 2011 VW Touareg for Boat TrailerI am not sure if you have the 4-flat on your 2011 VW Touareg or not already, but if not you simply need to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118668. You will then be able to connect it to a trailer 5-way such as # HM47910 by using the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036. All you need to do to install this adapter is plug one end into the 4-way on your VW and splice the blue wire to your Touareg's reverse light wire and you'll...
view full answer... - Hitch and Hitch-Mount Cargo Carrier for 2016 Porsche Cayenne SUVYes, the Curt Class III hitch that you referenced, part # C13116, will fit your 2016 Porsche Cayenne SUV. In this 2-inch hitch you can use a 2-inch Class III cargo carrier such as one of those shown on the link provided for you. You'll need to use a stabilizing strap like # 18050 to help support the load on the hitch.
view full answer... - Compare Curt vs. Draw-tite For 2016 Volkswagen Touareg For your 2016 Volkswagen Touareg the Curt hitch part # C13116 is a confirmed fit and does not have any fascia trimming required so it would be our best option for you. The Draw Tite does require trimming so the Curt is the winner.

- Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Porsche Cayenne For your 2018 Porsche Cayenne I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 75950. Both this hitch and the Curt # C13116 that is also available for your vehicle feature similar designs and identical weight capacities (7,500 pounds towing and 750 pounds of tongue weight) but I like the Draw-Tite # 75950 because it offers a bit of an easier installation process where the bumper beam does not need to be permanently removed. The welded-on bracket unique to this hitch also...
view full answer... - Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2018 Porsche Cayenne E-HybridYes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13116 has been tested and is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver tube opening. It is made in the U.S.A. and comes with a lifetime warranty. The installation of this hitch is also very straightforward. The rear bumper will need to be temporarily removed for installation but there will not be any drilling required. This makes for a very concealed look as you can see in the attached...

- Which Trailer Hitch Receiver Fits A 2013 Porsche Cayenne?The correct Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for your 2013 Porsche Cayenne is the Draw-Tite # 75950 and is a great cost effective option that fits nearly the same as the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13116 you mentioned. Between these two hitches I would go with whichever hitch is the most cost effective at the time as they share the same 750lb tongue weight rating and 7500lb trailer weight rating and are very similar in overall design and installation. If you are planning on towing a trailer with your...
view full answer... - Curt vs. etrailer Hitch For 2017 Volkswagen TouaregThere is just a single difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2017 Volkswagen Touareg, which is the finish - the Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch. The hitches that fit your '17 Touareg are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e89KR - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13116 The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches better than the glossy finish,...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for Use with a Bike Rack on a 2016 Porsche CayenneFor 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.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation For 2016 Porsche CayenneThe 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...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2012 Volkswagen TouaregUsually when a Class III trailer hitch is not rated for use with weight distribution it is because the vehicle itself is not rated for weight distribution. Check the owners manual for your 2012 Volkswagen Touareg to determine if it can use weight distribution. Even if the vehicle can use weight distribution you are still limited to the capabilities of the trailer hitch used. In this case none of the hitches for the 2012 Touareg can be used with weight distribution like you said. For a...
view full answer... - Towing Capacity of 2013 Volkswagen Touareg with Curt HitchThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13116 which is a fit for a 2013 Volkswagen Touareg is rated for 7,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight. This is the highest rated option for this vehicle but keep in mind you will need to abide by the towing capacity of the vehicle as well if lower.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Ball Mount Recommendation for 2012 Porsche CayenneFor your 2012 Porsche Cayenne the hitch you will want is the Curt part # C13116 which has great towing capacities and also since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper it is mostly hidden and offers best ground clearance. For trailer wiring the ZCIKIT part # 119250KIT can install without requiring any splicing into your vehicle wiring. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Porsche Cayenne S E-HybridI checked with Curt and they do list trailer hitch # C13116 as a fit for all models of the 2016 Porsche Cayenne. The all models would include yours as well. There is no trimming of the rear fascia indicated in the installation details, linked for reference, and the hitch receiver should actually be just below it. Since you can reuse the hitch that you have all you will need is to replace the hardware (since the hardware is all meant to be torqued down once). For that you will need # RHK....

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and 5-Way Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2011 VW Touareg TDIYou are on the right track with the Curt Hitch part # C13116 but I have a wiring solution that will be easier to install. I would first recommend you start with the part # 118668 as it is a custom install harness designed to fit your vehicle that won't require any hardwiring. This will give you the 4-way functions without any hardwiring. Now to convert this to a 5-way you will want the part # 47515. This plugs into the 4-way and allows you to hardwire in the 5th circuit to the reverse...

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...

This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver rated for 750 pounds tongue weight and 7,500 pounds gross trailer weight. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you. Since you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also...

Oftentimes a trailer hitch will have its capacity upgraded when using weight distribution but that is not the case here. Both of these hitches are rated for 7,500 lbs towing and 750 lbs of tongue weight, though you are limited to the capacity of your towing set up's lowest-rated...

To ensure there is enough bumper clearance you will want to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the end of your bumper. If this is less than 10.8" then this bike rack will work just fine. We do have the Draw-Tite # 75950 and the Curt # C13116 2" trailer hitches that fit your 2018 Cayenne but we haven't installed...

I attached installation instructions and video for you to check out also.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Mounting Bracket Recommendation for Curt Hitch C13116While there isn't a direct mounting bracket on the Curt hitch part # C13116 to attach trailer wiring we have the part # 18159 which is designed to give a 7-way mounting bracket for a square tube hitch like this.

Only used the hitch 1 or 2 times but it is there when I need it. The hitch looks like I just installed it
