Expert Answers about Porsche Cayenne


  • How to Choose Correct Weight Distribution Hitch
  • So long as the trailer hitch on your tow vehicle - in your case the Cayenne - is rated for weight distribution the tow vehicle won't matter for the weight distribution hitch. In order to choose the best weight distribution system you will first need to know your total tongue weight, which is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to go trailer. The tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's GVWR but you'll want to verify it by using a scale such as # e99044....

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for a 2015 Porsche Cayenne
  • We do not carry a custom towing mirror for your 2015 Porsche Cayenne. However, the universal K-Source Mirrors # KS3990 will likely fit just fine. They're one of the most universal fits we carry. They'll fit mirrors from 4-1/2 to 11-1/2 inches tall. I've linked a video for you to look at.

  • Tire Chains for a 2016 Porsche Cayenne w/ 265/50 R19 Tires
  • The pewag All Square Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners - Square Link - Reversible - 1 Pair item # PWE2229SC are a confirmed fit for your 2016 Porsche Cayenne but you are right they do say they don't fit 19" tires. I recommend the pewag Brenta-C 4X4 Snow Tire Chains - Square Link - 1 Pair item # PWXMR80AV. These are comparable chains with a titanium alloy steel construction that is strong and corrosion resistant. They are also confirmed to fit 19" tires like your 265/50 R19s.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2005 Porsche Cayenne
  • For a wiring harness that is compatible with your 2005 Porsche Cayenne, I recommend using the 4 Pole Trailer Connector part # C59496 as this wiring harness has an install kit included which will aid install. Unfortunately, we have not had a chance to make an video of this harness on a 2005 Porsche Cayenne yet. I spoke to my contact at Curt and he was not able to confirm nor deny the error code messages. The only hitch receiver available for your vehicle is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver...

  • Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack Compatibility with Factory Hitch
  • The Hollywood Racks Trail Rider 2-Bike Rack # HR200Z will absolutely fit on your 2017 Porsche Cayenne with factory hitch. It has a 5 inch shank rise and a measurement of 12-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole on your receiver to the closest edge of the rack so you will have bumper and hatch clearance. I recommend using the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock for Hollywood Racks # HRLHPTC.

  • Can The Thule Tram Carrier Handle 4 Snowboards
  • Yes, per the user manual for the Thule Tram Ski and Snowboard Carrier Adapter for Hitch-Mounted Bike Racks # TH9033, "The maximum capacity for class 1 hitches is 4 pair of skis or 2 snowboards. The maximum capacity for Class 2 hitches is 6 pair of skis or 4 snowboards." That said when I contacted Thule they said the snowboards would need to be narrower than standard size to fit 4 at once, though a maximum individual snowboard width was not able to be provided.

  • Will the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2009 Porsche Cayenne
  • Thule does list the Gateway Pro 3, # TH78VR, as a fit for your 2009 Porsche Cayenne. I have included a link to all of the trunk mount bike racks that are listed as a fit for your Cayenne. If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend adding the adapter bar # TH982XT in order to carrying the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video that shows how the adapter works. The Thule OutWay # TH56BV would still be the best choice if you are looking...

  • Is Additional Wiring Needed to Install Redarc Brake Controller in 2016 Porsche Cayenne
  • Yes, you are going to need to get the additional wiring to install the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR in your 2016 Porsche Cayenne. This harness, which you can read about in the linked help article describing what you need to install a brake controller in a 2005-current Volkswagen Touareg or Porsche Cayenne, will require you to obtain parts from a VW dealer. As per the tech bulletin, "You will need the following parts (pictured above) that are available from...

  • Will the Stealth Hitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2019 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid
  • I checked with Stealth Hitches and the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit part # SH37FRT is a confirmed fit for the 2019 Porsche Cayenne Hybrid. The Stealth Hitch is an excellent option which does not require any permanent modifications such as cutting, trimming or drilling. The best part of all, it has a removable receiver tube so the hitch will not be noticeable once installed. It also comes with everything you need so you will be ready to go once it arrives.

  • Will the Thule Helium Pro Fit a 2018 Porsche Cayenne Trailer Hitch
  • The Thule Helium Pro # TH9042PRO is compatible with both 1-1/4" and 2" trailer hitch receivers so it will fit the hitch receiver on your 2018 Porsche Cayenne. 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...

  • Does Draw-Tite Hitch DT87MR Fit 2021 Porsche Cayenne or Cayenne Coupe
  • Good question, and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT87MR is only a fit for the 2021 Porsche Cayenne Coupe, so it does NOT fit the SUV. If you have the SUV and not the Coupe, there is still a hitch that fits your Cayenne, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH37FR. The # SH37FR is for accessories like a bike rack only, so if you also want to tow with it you will need to add the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receive...

  • Will Custer LED Strobe Driver STR-QRLY Work with Load Resistors
  • Interesting question! My tech contact at Custer said their LED Strobe Driver # STR-QRLY should work just fine wired in upstream of the existing load resistors like # DI34ZR. So the wiring sequence would be strobe-resistor-LED.

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2012 Porsche Cayenne
  • If you currently have no wiring at all on your 2012 Porsche Cayenne I recommend installing the # 119250KIT wiring harness. It's a 4-way trailer connector that hardwires into the Porsche's wiring. It has circuit protection to keep from damaging the wiring of the Cayenne and connects directly to your Porsche's battery..

  • Parts for Yakima Roof Rack on 2018 Porsche Cayenne
  • You will need two of BaseClip Fit Kits, # Y06163. The kit comes with two pads and two clips in each box. If you are using our fitguide to look at the roof rack kits it breaks everything down to show the exact quantity of each item you will be receiving with the roof rack kit. All together you need four clips and four pads to attach the Baseline Roof Rack Towers # Y28TR to your Cayenne. The Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 are a good fit to complete your roof rack kit.

  • How to Mount 7-Way to 7-Way LED Trailer Light Adapter # C57003 on 2005 Porsche Cayenne
  • The 7-Way to 7-Way LED Trailer Light Adapter, # C57003, can be mounted to any flat surface under your 2005 Porsche Cayenne using the mounting holes on the top of the adapter. Since the 7-Way to 7-Way, # C57003, has the mounting bracket molded to the top, you would not be able to use this adapter with the Curt Easy Mount Bracket, # C58000.

  • Will the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller Work On a 2016 Porsche Cayenne
  • The Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller part # 3430001 is an excellent option for a 2016 Porsche Cayenne. In regards to parts needed, there would be no additional components for the Cayenne assuming it did in fact come with a factory tow package. If you take a look at the rear of the vehicle you should see a round trailer connector with seven pins inside which would indicate you do indeed have the factory tow package. In regards to the trailer, you would simply use ring terminals if...

  • Will the Lug Nut Protector Plate # 491LNP Fit the Stallion Trailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020
  • I went out to the warehouse and found that the Lug Nut Protector Plate # 491LNP did fit the claw of the Stallion Trailer Wheel Lock # 288-02020 but I am not sure if it fit far enough for a wheel. The claws on the Stallion lock have a wedge shape whereas the The CLUB Tire Claw XL # WI491, that the plate is designed to fit, has straight claws. I recommend using the plate on the CLUB Tire Claw XL as opposed to the Stallion Wheel Lock because of this. They actually come together as part #...

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Destination 4 Fit a 2016 Porsche Cayenne Turbo
  • All of the hitches that we have available to fit your Cayenne are 2" hitches (which is the size receiver this rack fits in), so the probability is high, but I do recommend measuring your factory hitch (inside wall to inside wall) just to be sure. As long as your 2016 Porsche Cayenne Turbo has a 2" hitch receiver on it, then the Hollywood Racks Destination 4 # HR4000 will fit. I really like that this rack can hold a variety of bike styles without the need for a frame adapter bar. Since...

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains for a 2021 Porsche Cayenne with 315/35R21 Tires
  • The only tire chains we offer for 315/35R21 tires are the Konig K-Summit Tire Chains part # TH2004565767. These chains are unique in that they don't attach inside the wheels so there will be no clearance issues on limited clearance vehicles like a 2021 Porsche Cayenne. They will do an excellent job of providing extra traction in snow or ice. The diamond pattern will provide a smooth ride and there is no wheel contact so you won't ruin your wheels.
