• Recommended Hitch for 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan SE With No Holes or Bolts in Side Frame
• Your 2021 Tiguan SE should have holes in the side frame, it is the weldnuts that have been reported missing on some models. I recommend completely avoiding this with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # SH49ZR. This custom fit hitch uses a different installation process so the lack of weldnuts will not be an issue. The Stealth Hitch replaces the factory reinforcement beam on the back of your vehicle. The hitch has a tongue weight of 350 lbs and is only for hitch...

• Will A 2018 VW Beetle Work On The Demco Kar Kaddy X DM9713093
• To answer your question, yes, a 2018 Volkswagen Beetle will fit on the Demco Kar Kaddy X # DM9713093. That said, I was reading over the owners manual for a 2018 Beetle, and they do include some very important tidbits regarding towing the vehicle. They state that the vehicle should never be towed at speeds above 30 mph and the vehicle should not be towed more than 30 miles. If the vehicle must be towed you can do so with a tow dolly with the front wheels off the ground. I do suggest that...

• Can Stealth Hitch for 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan Tow Small Kayak Trailer
• The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH49ZR will be able to tow your kayak trailer as long as it does not exceed 3,500 lbs. I highly doubt your trailer and kayak weigh that much combined so it shouldn't be a problem. When you add the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - 2" Ball # SH82VR the gross towing weight for the hitch is 3,500 lbs. You will also need to double check the towing capacity of your 2021 VW Tiguan. You will be limited...

• Recommended Base Plate and Flat Towing Setup for a 2017 Volkswagen Jetta
• I recommend using the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521238-5 instead of a crossbar style base plate so you don't have to use the adapter # 910021-00 with your Falcon tow bars # RM-522. If you wanted the cross-bar style anyways, you can use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521238-4. For the rest of the setup, you're also going to need a braking system # BLU37TR with the 12 volt outlet kit # RM-9332 as well as a wiring harness # RM-15267.

• Crossbar-Style Base Plate And Flat Tow Wiring For A 2017 Volkswagen Jetta
• Hey Brent I can definitely help with that. For your 2017 Volkswagen Jetta you will need the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521238-4. This will go with the crossbar and Flacon tow bar that you already have. For a wiring kit I recommend the Roadmaster Diode Kit # RM-15267. This is a complete wiring kit so you will get everything you need to wire the Jetta, as well as all of the components needed to connect to the 7-way plug on your coach. If you are planning on using a supplemental...

• Concealed Hitch Options for 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan
• Hey Mike, for your 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan both the etrailer hitch part # e43ZR and the Curt # C13381 have concealed crosstubes. These hitches are basically identically designed with only real difference being the etrailer has a matte black finish and the Curt a gloss black. For an even more hidden option we have the Hidden Hitch part # DT62GR which has a removable hitch opening that makes it basically totally invisible when not in use.

• What Tow Bars Can be Used with Crossbar Style Roadmaster Base Plate Kit
• I attached a link on this page that has all of the tow bars we carry that can be used with the Roadmaster tow bar part # 521233-1. I really like the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain part # RM-522 which is the easiest to use and very high quality. To use it with the mentioned base plate kit you would also need the crossbar kit part # 910021-00.

• Troubleshooting a Wiring Harness for a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan That Lights Don't Turn Off
• Usually whenever things like this happen after they've previously worked, that's a tell tale sign that there is a damaged or corroded connector. You might still be getting power to the circuit, but the connector is corroded or damaged and that's causing the lights to not function properly. I'd recommend checking the connectors and looking for white or green corrosion on the pins or sockets of the connectors. If there is, you can try cleaning it and seeing if the problem continues, if...

• Troubleshooting a 2020 Jetta R-Line With No Working Driver Side Signals
• Monty, the first thing I'd do is make sure everything is plugged in properly and the connectors aren't damaged in any way. The next thing, and honestly the last thing you can check is the fuses. Since the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118791 just plugs into your factory wiring and does not require any splicing there shouldn't have been any issue with the wiring itself, so it leads me to believe the fuse might be blown on the power wire. It also wouldn't...

• 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring Harness 2017 VW Golf Base Model with 1.8L Turbo Engine
• The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7309 is the correct 2" receiver for your 2017 VW Golf. I recommend installing the 4-Way # 118646 when you install the receiver. This will allow you to connect to the lights on most small trailers or use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with a hitch mounted accessory.

• Recommended Ball Mount to Tow a 2022 Volkswagen Atlas
• It's possible, Rafael, but it looks like the GVWR of your Atlas ranges just a bit over 6,000 lbs which I personally wouldn't be comfortable with. So with that said, I'd recommend using a bit beefier ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount # BWTS10038B which has a 7.5K capacity and has 5" of drop or 5 1/2" rise depending on what you need.

• Trailer Hitch to Fit a 2002 Volkswagen New Beetle Turbo
• The correct trailer hitch for your 2002 Volkswagen New Beetle Turbo is the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24679. This is compatible with the Turbo models, but it does exclude the Turbo S package. If you have the Turbo S package for your New Beetle then let me know what you're needing to transport and I can see if we have an alternative since there aren't any hitches for your vehicle.

• Ground Clearance With Curt Hitch Installed on 2021 Volkswagen Golf TSI
• Hi Rick; the bottom of the Curt # C11412 will be approximately 7" off the ground once installed on your 2021 Volkswagen Golf TSI. Although I don't know your current ground clearance to tell you what the difference would be, you should be able to compare that to your vehicle to find out how much it will be reduced.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for Towing With 2013 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI
• The first thing I recommend is checking your owner's manual. Make sure your 2013 VW Jetta SportWagen is capable of towing this trailer. Assuming it is, you will want a hitch, wiring, brake controller, and ball mount for a complete towing setup. For a hitch, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7284. This hitch has a concealed cross tube and a 2" receiver. It also has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. You will be limited by whichever towing capacity...
