Customer service was great!
Watched the video provided, made the install easy, fit perfect
This hitch is great. Matte finish looks way better with black plastic rear bumper than a glossy one. Installation is pretty straightforward, and you can simply remove the lower bumper fascia instead of taking the whole bumper off. If you have 2017 Macan - no need to disconnect the battery and disassemble anything in the trunk - just remove the lower fascia and that's it. No drilling is required for that model year.
Installed on my 2016 Audi Q5 with a video found on the etrailer Youtube channel. As others mentioned, the Q5 in the 2016 video is really a 2017, but it's close enough. The bolt plate insertion to the trunk pan is different than the 2014 video so be careful. The Ubolt install with the guide wires was a pain and the reason for 4-stars. The Ubolts easily tumble into the frame and are difficult to retrieve even with the wires on. I had to take the hitch off twice at that step and fish out the Ubolts with a thin, long Allen key. I ended up putting two nuts loosely on the top of the ubolts so they could not back into the frame. Then, align the hitch by bolting it to the trunk pan and muffler mounts and finish the install. Overall, this hitch is a great option as the Audi dealer quoted me nearly 10x the price to add a hitch ($2.5-$3k).
Great hitch but came with too short of carriage bolts. They need to be about 1/4 " longer for the Macan. Also it did not come with Porsche Macan instructions.I only had to trim the rear cover 1/2 x3/4" and it looks factory.
I did speak with a tec guy a curt about the issues an he could have cared less.I liked there hitch and your service ,this my third hitch from you and I would order again .I mail you before the hitch got here and they e- mail a full copy of instructions for both Audi Q 5 and Porsche Macan to me that should have came with my hitch.Thanks to woman who helped me with the mail.
Just a heads up i spent over 30 years as auto tec for Three different car lines so I know my way around a car and this is my 5th hitch that I have installed. Great shipping speed. I tried to order a cargo carrier but the shipping was to much .I should have ordered it when I ordered the hitch. Thanks Frank

The wiring is available from Porsche now ! You will need a harness for the fuse box a control box and a harness to the trailer wiring, you will spend about $400 for the set up and will have it matched up to your car at the dealer, Then you can buy a plug that fits ur hitch wiring harness to match the 4 pin trailer plug Check the Macan Porsche site. I have heard they charge one hr @ 135 per hr,if you dont need the wiring right now I would wait for Curt to come out wit one later at a fraction of the cost.The dealer has a step by step install with photos on how to but u will need to capture the pics with your phone flash off.I may be doing this in a week or so ,if you get back next week will have all the pics and info u needA lot of money but I could have kicked the salesman for not telling me the factory install was a must @ $600,

It`s been fine i have installed the factory wiring and it works great but i spent $400 on parts and put the harness in but had to take it to the dealer to get it matched to the car.If anyone needs part I have them one is tricky.Frank
I must Say I am very impressed with the customer service that was provided. I made a mistake on my order, and was able to get in touch with customer service in a little less than 5 minutes to resolve my issue. The item was shipped really fast! I received it maybe 2 days after ordering (it helped that I live in the neighboring state) but nonetheless it was quick to arrive. The item looks solid and has a nice gloss paint scheme to it with no big decals which is nice. Installation was not very challenging, it took maybe 1.5 hours. Once installed the trailer looks amazing, it sits subtlety underneath the car which is a big plus. I went ahead and purchased a hitch as well and it all looks great together.

Still holding up strong! Been through a lot of towing this past year and it has held up very well. Definitely a great investment if you plan on towing light or heavy loads.
Fantastic hitch for my Q5. While it was a little tricky to install, the directions were very good and I did not have to remove any of the plastic bumper trip like the competitors hitch. My neighbor helped me hold it in place and everything lined up perfectly. Compared to the Audi OEM option, far more cost effective. Very solid and works perfectly pulling my trailer and launching my pontoon boat. I don’t tow the pontoon boat any distance, not because the hitch can’t handle it, but because it is at the limit of the car’s capacity.
Highly recommend this hitch.
Fits perfectly on my 2016 Audi Q5. With the aid of the video that I found on YouTube, I took my time doing the work and got it done by myself in less than 2hrs. Bike rack is now mounted!

No issues
I don't know how to to change my oil, but I was able to install this hitch!
I watched the video a couple of times, and it seemed pretty straight forward. It took me over 2 hours, only because I was super careful and have never done any work on my car or know much about cars. You definitely need 2 people to perform this task since someone has to hold the hitch in place, while the other person aligns the rack, and screws on the nuts in place. When placing the hitch in, line up the pieces in the furthest away first, then line up the holes in the front where the u-bolts are supposed to go.
Tip: I didn't have a jack, nor did I really need one, but for more space to work with, I parked it over a curb to gain 6 inches of more space to work with.
I believe that the trickiest part is when you have to push the u-bolts into the hole, put the rack over the hole alignment, then pull on the fishing wire to pull out the u-bolts again so it goes through the rack. If you are too forceful with shoving the rack in, the u-bolts get wedged/jammed, and it becomes difficult to pull on the fishing wire.
The item was exactly as advertised. Delivery was very quick. And staff (Joshua) had even reached out via email to be sure that the item was received and was satisfactory. I would absolutely order from etrailer again in the future.
It is very good and of high quality. It took them quite sometime to work on my order and shipping too (almost 2 weeks) may be due to the pandemic but after I received it, I was really impressed. I followed the video and it took me 45 mins working on it by myself. I recommend it to anyone looking for a hitch like that. Good job guys.
The installation on 2016 TDI Q5 took about 90 minutes, mainly due to initial confusion with the plastic bra with no removable fascia. After some prodding and removal of the internal plastic element (had to be unglued to avoid breaking it into pieces), the hitch went into place in about 30 minutes, 20 more to properly put everything in place, screw it all down, and voila. The end effect is slightly different from a factory installed unit, but looks solid and reliable. We will see how it fares the Colorado weather and winter salt. The installation can be done in the driveway, with ramps, as long as you can find driveway with some elevation.
My next project is to get the wiring harness, and make it look like the factory provided one, running it through the bottom baggage compartment.
Shipping was quick, much quicker than expected, with no issues with the box, wrapping quality, etc. Some extra protection would be welcome as far as the hitch itself, just in case UPS does not handle it so gently.
The installation instructions (video) could be also done on a unit with no removable fascia to help people out. That would save me some initial pain of trying to work it out so that no plastic elements need to be trimmed down or cut.
I must admit up-front that removing the bumper facia on my 2015 Audi Q5 was intimidating, however after watching the video [online] I felt confident that even I could complete this install.
The install was not too difficult but also not exactly like the video. You just need to see where the trex bolts are in the wheel well by feel.
The hitch is well hidden and looks like part of the original vehicle.
Overall I am very happy with the product and am proud to have drone it myself and not ruined my car! Thanks etrailer and Curt.
High quality hitch that installed easily with clear instructions and also great videos. I was worried how this would look under my Audi but it was perfect. Low profile and sleek look.
Great product and fit.
Took several hours to install but did it myself
Clean appearance when mounted. Quality part and hardware. Installation videos are excellent and detailed. My 2016 was the same as the 2014 video. 2016 video appears to be the 2017 model. Took me longer than estimated time with added waxing of bumper cover and polishing exhaust tips.
Purchased this for my 2014 Audi Q5 TDI. Easy installation. I have purchased same hitch for my 2015 Audi Q5 TDI several months ago and no issues what so ever towing. Solid hitch along with clean appearance of factory install. Self Installed myself.
Fits perfectly!
Installation was simple enough. Really haven’t used much. Good to have if needed.

Good morning Frank,I have a 2015 Macan S that was built by my local dealer without roof rails or the tow package. I am looking at options outside of the ridiculously expensive Porsche OEM Hitch that needs to be installed by the dealer. Since you are a Macan owner I was hoping you could provide me with some feedback on the Curt13136 hitch. I was hoping to utilize this hitch to transport my road bike and possibly a 18 trailer. I was wondering how you handled the wiring since Porsche does not want to sell this outside of their OEM hitch solution. Any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
