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.

2013 Porsche Cayenne WD Hitch Recommendation Towing a 2014 Air Stream
Hopefully your Cayenne has a higher tongue weight rating than what you listed when used with a weight distribution system. Otherwise there is not safe way I can recommend you tow a trailer that exceeds it's towing capacities. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article...

Does Remote of Prodigy RF Need to be In Second Vehicle When Pairing with Second Vehicle
The remote of the Prodigy RF # ETBC7 does not need to be in the second vehicle when you attempt to pair it but it wouldn't hurt to have it there. You mainly just want the 7-way of the RF plugging into a different vehicle so that it can successfully pair to the remote. Having the remote in range would be all that you'd really need.

Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass Not Working on 2013 Porsche Cayenne
If your Cayenne was designed for the US market and you are still getting the errors when using the adapter # 20142 then you likely need more power draw beyond the resistors in the adapter. You can achieve this by installing load resistors such as # DI34ZR for a 2 pack. Wire one in line on the trailer side wiring on any affected circuits to create more draw so the vehicle thinks the LED lights are regular incandescent lights. If your 2013 Porsche Cayenne has a European configured 7-Way...

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...

Weight Distribution for a 2006 Porsche Cayenne S Rated for 617 Pounds Tongue Weight.
When towing, using weight distribution or not, you are limited to the capacity of the lowest rated component in the system. Even if a hitch is rated higher than the vehicle you would still go by the capacity of the vehicle. You can check your owner's manual but from what I found 617 pounds tongue weight is the limit for the vehicle and that is what you would want to go by. You can still use weight distribution but you will just be limited to 617 pounds tongue weight. Tongue weight can...
