There are a few installation notes regarding Curt Trailer Hitch # C13136 on a 2018 Porsche Macan. The trunk pan cover, which is underneath the car, is going to need to be removed to install the hitch. There will also be some minor fascia trimming, as you can see by the accompanying cut out of the installation instructions I added for you.

I have added a link to the installation manual for you to take a look at as well which has all of the required steps needed to install the # C13136 hitch on your '18 Macan.

This Class III hitch has a 2 inch receiver, is made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty.

In most cases Loctite is not required when installing a trailer hitch, but it would not be a bad idea. I suggest using the Loctite Blue Stick Threadlocker, #LT37643, which will provide a secure grip and protect against water and grime.
