2018 PorscheCayenne

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver has been incredible over the last year! I'm very glad I purchased it for my 2018 Cayenne and will be doing so again with my next vehicle. I've towed my 400lb Moto Guzzi on the back for a 5 hour trip (both ways) with zero issues right after getting it and installed the receiver myself with a buddy pretty easily. etrailer shipped it in perfect condition and was easy to work with, and I can tell they care about their customer service as they even checked in with me to share my experience! You will absolutely not be disappointed with this purchase. The instructions to install were easy to follow and as long as you torque the bolts properly, you're going to have a life long receiver!

2017 PorscheCayenne

Great price for a heavy duty steel hitch bumper that was surprisingly easy to install by myself with the right tools and video instructions.



by:

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).

2014 Volkswagen Touareg

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.



by:

I absolutely love mine! It helped me tow many things with my car. I have gotten so much use out of it already, and plan to use it a ton more!!

Brand new with my garage because Accident 1 month I ordered it. I could see the welder it awesome.

2013 Volkswagen Touareg

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.

2011 Volkswagen Touareg

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.

2014 Volkswagen Touareg

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.

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.

2011 PorscheCayenne

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!

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

2012 PorscheCayenne

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.

2013 Acura ILX

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.

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2018 Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid
    Yes, 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...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid
    I 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....

  • Trailer Hitch Comparisons for 2016 Porsche Cayenne
    Between the Curt and Draw Tite hitches the Curt for your 2016 Porsche Cayenne part # C13116 is the way to go. Curt hitches tend to have the edge in build quality consistency and also they have a more durable powder coat as well. It's a pretty big jump in price but another really great option is the Stealth hitch part # SH57FR which fits your vehicle. Unlike the Curt this has a lower hitch opening that is totally removable so that when you aren't towing the hitch would be totally out of...

  • Should a Weight Distribution System be Used with a 2016 Volkswagen Touareg
    We recommend using some sort of sway control if the trailer you're towing weighs at least 50 percent of what the tow vehicle weighs or if you're experiencing any sway or sagging. Since the Touareg's owner's manual says to not use a weight distribution system then you shouldn't use one. Instead to control sway use a friction sway control bar like the Reese part # 83660. It's not considered "weight distributing" or "load equalizing" at all. It just uses friction to fight the trailer's...

  • 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...

  • Trailer Wiring Mounting Bracket Recommendation for Curt Hitch C13116

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,...

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.

    I checked both of the trailer hitches that fit your 2016 Porsche Cayenne, the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75950 and Curt Trailer Hitch # C13116 and neither of them is rated for use with a weight distribution system. 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...

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.

    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.

Per CURT all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050.

  • Trailer Hitch for Use with a Bike Rack on a 2016 Porsche Cayenne
    For 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.
