The Curt hitch for the 2009 VW Touareg came without or hardware. What holes need to be drilled?
asked by: Terrey H
Expert Reply:
Curt 2-inch Class III hitch # 13220 is a confirmed fit on your 2009 Volkswagen Touareg. It has a fairly complex hitch installation. It does not require drilling, but temporary removal of the rear bumper/fascia will be necessary. Installation on a 2010 Touareg is shown in the linked video. The written installation instructions, which are linked for you, outline the tools required and the entire process to mount this hitch.
Curt recommends that all non-trailer loads (bike racks, cargo carriers, etc) should be supported by stabilizing straps, such as # 18050, which is sold separately.
