Where's the hitch?

[babylou66]

I see the vehicle has a tow rating. My build spec says vehicle comes prepared for a hitch. Yet no hitch is available to order. WTH? This is a full stop deal breaker for me. If the hitch is not available from DAY ONE I must cancel my order.

I guess by hitch you mean tow hook, yes?
If so, it is available to order in Europe. - Although, this is important: You cannot get maximum towing capacity WITHOUT Off road package, at least from what I’ve heard!

Yes hitch in USA = tow hook in Europe. However, the Euro system is electric and uses a permanently mounted ball whereas the system in USA use a square receiver hole where a ball is mounted to it.

I logged into the UK Porsche site and see the hitch is available so this leads me to believe Porsche have yet to develop a hitch for USA. I need a hitch for day one. so that's a deal killer for me. Looks like I have to cancel my order!

I believe the configurator is not fully developed for the U.S., e.g., not just the tow hitch but also the message seats, the colored seat stitching, no exterior mirrors in visible carbon fiber, and more. Would not be a surprise to see a revised, upgraded, more option-listed configurator fairly soon (just like the Macan EV’s first configurator got improved fairly early after its launch). With no deliveres coming to the U.S. until next summer, there is time for an enhanced U.S. configurator. Think we need a little more patience for version 2 here.

I bet Porsche has chosen to simplify the options, for now, to allow for easier production ramp up. Several months in the heavy customizations will roll in. So it looks like I need to wait. As I age I find patience is not my specialty!

They make money with option, don't think they earn much from naked base model. Would be surprised if hitch is not available from start. Probably they are waiting for certification.

But then why are they not offering many of their normal optional upgrades that do not require certification? Things like deviated colored stiching with leather and the such.

I prefer not to wait 4-5 months then have to decide on yet another vehicle and wait again. Which is ridiculous since the vehicle i'm daily driving now is adequate.
