Has anyone had an after-market trailer hitch installed on a Taycan RWD sedan? If so, any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

I’ve messaged a couple companies (Stealth hitch and Curt) and they say the Taycan is not in their plans.

If anyone else has leads on a trailer hitch supplier, I would like to know as well.

I don't think anyone will be able to offer that. Car was never designed to tow.

CT and ST variants offer a bike carrier but require special mounts which are factory fit.

On another thread there is talk of a Porsche patent for a hitch. Will this materialise, is another question.

I installed one myself. See:
https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/diy-bike-carrier-hitch-on-taycan.9888/

But note that it is not possible and illegal to tow something with it. It is only for bikes or storage boxes.

Theoretically you can make a hitch that can tow a small trailer. But in that case I would replace the aluminium bumper bar by a stronger steel bumper bar.

It would be illegal in my country but maybe it is easier in the US. Here the car needs to be homologated to be allow to tow something.

Thanks, all. Just to be clear, I am only interested in the hitch so I can place a bike rack on the car. Absent the hitch solution, can anyone recommend a bike rack that goes on the trunk lid?

Not the lid but the roof - Seasucker - folk on the forum use these.
