From there, you will just need to install the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7. This kit will include everything needed to install a fully functional 7-Way from the existing 4-Way. It includes a 7-Way connector that...

- We do offer a hitch for your 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid.
I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 75950. This is a Class lll hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening.
The Curt # C13136 would probably also fit, but since it hasn't been tested at this time I cannot recommend it.

- In order to tow a trailer with your 2008 Porsche Cayenne you are going to need a trailer hitch receiver, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. For a trailer hitch receiver, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13220 as long as you do not have a trunk mounted spare tire. This is actually the only hitch we have for your vehicle. It has a Class III rating with a 2" receiver tube opening. The 6,000 lb gross trailer weight (GTW) and 600 lb (TW) would be more than sufficient...

- The Curt Trailer Hitch part # C13136 that you mentioned is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Porsche Macan and would work well. To then install trailer wiring you'd want the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT which is a great fit that requires no splicing.
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 rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2...
view full answer... - 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...

view full answer... - Which Electric Brakes Will Fit a 2013 Wells Cargo MC101-5-ME
- Based on the gross vehicle weight rating of your trailer, I'm thinking you have a 3500 lbs. axle. You will want to verify this by checking the label or sticker on the axle or contacting the trailer's manufacturer before making a purchase. If it is a 3500 lbs. axle the Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-K you referenced will work just fine. In addition you can verify that this hub will work by checking the model numbers on your bearings. If the bearings you have now are # L68149 and...
view full answer... - 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...

- 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...

This will provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening that will work great for hitch-mounted accessories or towing a light trailer.

- There are several 3 bike trunk mount racks that Thule lists as a fit for the 2005 Porsche Cayenne. I have included a link to them for you. If you are looking for the safest and most secure rack with the best features, go with the OutWay, # TH56BV.
This rack features 2 retractable cables, rather than straps, to secure the rack to the back of the vehicle. This creates not only a secure attachment to the vehicle but also makes the rack quick and easy to install and remove. The OutWay would...

- For keyed alike hitch pins that fit with both your F-250 and your Macan, I recommend the Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock - Extra Long - Flush Design for 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches # e98881. These can be keyed alike by selecting that in the drop box and then selecting the quantity you desire.
This locking pin is 5/8 inch diameter pin with an inside width of 3-5/8 inches inside width and overall length of 6-7/6 inches. This part is double chrome plated for maximum rust resistance and the covered...
view full answer... - Hatch Mounted Bike Rack for a 2015 Porsche Macan that Won't Put Stress on Spoiler
- While the Yakima HangOut # Y02637 can be installed on a 2015 Porsche Macan the upper straps will still rest on the spoiler at the top of the rear hatch so it will put stress on it. What I recommend is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack # HRF2. This rack has an additional upper arm piece to move the top straps up and over the spoiler so no stress is put on it.
There is more than one way this rack can be installed. You will not have to have a roof rack to use it though many of our videos...
view full answer... - Recommended Battery Charger for 2018 Porsche Panamera
- To maintain the charge on your Porsche Panamera's battery while you're away I recommend the NOCO Genius Battery Charger and Maintainer # 329-GENIUS10. This will attach to the battery itself on your Porsche and plug into an AC outlet at the other end. Its various charge cycles and maintenance mode prevents any kind of overcharging while also ensuring your Porsche is ready to start as soon as you return.
view full answer... - Does the Curt Hitch # C13136 Fit the 2015 Porsche Macan
- The Curt Hitch part # C13136 that you referenced is designed to fit your 2015 Porsche Macan as well as an Audi Q5. The install pics we have on our site show this hitch installed on the Q16 which has a different lower fascia than your vehicle.
In the picture I attached you can see that the crosstube is largely visible when this hitch is installed on a Q16. On the Porsche models the cross tube is behind the rear fascia that will get trimmed slightly. It won't sit as high up as the OEM hitch...

- I checked with all of our manufacturers and there is only one option for a bike rack for your 2005 Porsche Boxster, from SeaSucker:
- SeaSucker Komodo Trunk Bike Rack - Fork Mount - Vacuum Cup Mounted # 298-BK1910-BK
This rack uses four vacuum cups that mount directly to the rear of your Boxster, and each cup has a pull strength of 210 lbs, which is a huge amount of force. While the Komodo is a premium option, it is the only rack available that will allow you to carry a bike on your 2005...
view full answer... - 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.
view full answer... - Fitting Thule Hullavator on 2008 Porsche Cayenne with Malone Airflow2 Crossbars
- The Thule Hullavator part # TH898 can attach to the top channels of the Malone Airflow2 roof rack part number # MPG216 that you have on the roof of your 2008 Porsche Cayenne. This is the longest crossbar rack that fits your vehicle so I would safely assume that the bars would have enough overhang for the Hullavator to fit and work well. You can slide the crossbar to one side of the feet if you wanted to as well. You would be able to position this and your Thule Compass # TH890000 on your...
