Installed on a 2014 Cayenne Turbo S. Total time about 2 hours. Went pretty much as in installation video. A few comments:
On my model, the wheel trim/fascia is two piece, not one piece as in video. Wheel trim/fascia has some adhesive on it (sort of like on a post-it note but a little stickier). Takes a little effort to remove trim but not a problem.
When you take out the original bumper and replace it with the hitch/bumper, there are no sockets to attach a towing hook/eye to the bumper (i.e. the hitch doesn't have them). I don't think this is a big deal because if you needed to pull from rear, the towing company should be able to attach to the hitch directly. Just something to be aware of.
Didn't have a problem with tail light removal. After the screws are removed, the front of the unit attaches with a post and rubber socket. It takes some effort to get it out but if you pull straight back, it's not a problem.
Removing the electrical connections from the tail lights and parking sensors is slightly tricky because you have to release a catch on the connector assembly. Takes a little work, but not difficult.
All in all, great product and appreciate the installation video.
+William Sharpe Thank you for your insight!
Just installed a curt hitch on my 2011 cayenne. The video was really helpful. Might want to mention that there should be caution removing the bumper cover when you have parking sensors. Slack needs to made at minimum from the left side of the bumper cover by unclipping a harness tie down point.
Thank you Peter! We appreciate the helpful tip.
Very good video, much easier to follow than the paper instructions. A minor correction: the tail lights need to be pulled straight backward for removal, pulling it sideway won't get them off.
Thanks for the feedback!
Just installed on my 2015 cayenne. Would advise that there's a bit of force involved to get the bumper to thread the hitch receiver with the new bumper style but no cutting required!
So you can get the wiring harness also from Curt? Was any bumper modification done? I was understanding that the bumper needs to be cut on a GTS model????
+chris meaker The CURT #13116 fits 2011-2016 Porsche Cayennes, without any cutting involved. We do not offer a wiring harness at this time.
What did you do about wiring harness? My understanding is that dealers will only sell the hitch and wiring harness together.
Wes Bailey Hi Bailey. Thanks for the question. The wiring can be purchased separately. Please let me know your exact vehicle Make and Model of your vehicle. This information is required to determine the correct wiring harness for your vehicle.

I purchased and installed the curt hitch on my 2014 cayenne turbo. Very easy with your great video! I need to know the part numbers for the factory wiring.
