Trailer Hitch Receiver to Carry Bikes on a 2016 Porsche Cayenne Turbo

Updated 06/17/2020 | Published 06/26/2017

Question:

I have a SUV without a hitch. I was curious if someone made a hitch receiver that was only for bikes or a basket? I didnt want to tow anything, but would to like to take my bikes or use an outside basket for cargo.

All of the hitch receivers we carry are designed for towing but can be used with a bike rack or cargo carrier. For your 2016 Porsche Cayenne Turbo I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75950.

I've linked the install details of the hitch on your Porsche and it does require removing the bumper beam. The hitch will replace the bumper beam once it's installed. The bumper fascia will also need to be removed and reinstalled.

It's a Class III, 2 inch hitch receiver which will allow for plenty of options when selecting a bike rack.

2013 Audi Q7 manual only talks about 6615 lbs max tow capacity. Does installing this hitch increases my capability to safely tow up to 7500 lbs? Thank you

You will always be limited by the 6,615 pound capacity that's listed in your manual for the Audi Q7. Mounting a stronger hitch that's capable of towing more weight will not increase this number.
