Question:

Hello, I am looking to install a trailer hitch on my 2012 Porsche Cayenne VIN: WP1AB2A24CLA4403 and am hoping you can make suggestions for parts needed. I will need the trailer hitch, ball mount, ball, and wiring. Please let me know if you have any questions and thanks for your help!

For your 2012 Porsche Cayenne the hitch you will want is the Curt part # C13116 which has great towing capacities and also since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper it is mostly hidden and offers best ground clearance.

For trailer wiring the ZCIKIT part # 119250KIT can install without requiring any splicing into your vehicle wiring.

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 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
