What are the Dimensions on this Hitch?

Question

Question:

For non Tiguan job, can the base be reversed so that face tab is in the rear. Also what is the total height of the item. From the photos, I estimate 5 1/2 inches from top of base, to bottom of receiver. A measured spec diagram is always helpful. Thanks sTrainer customer.

I reached out to EcoHitch and found some measurements for you. Please see the attached pictures for them. As far as using it in a manner that it is not listed for you should use caution. Any stated weight ratings or warranty will be voided once it is installed in a manner it isn't designed for.
