  • Recommended Electric Brake Controller on 2010 Volkswagen Touareg TDi
  • The installation of a brake controller in your 2010 Volkswagen Toureg is more in depth than most. I've attached a help article that will walk you through the installation process. If you choose to go with a hardwired controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885. The P2 is one of our top selling controllers because of its ease of use. If you'd rather go with a wireless controller the Curt Echo # C51180 is your solution. As long as you have a 7-way trailer connector with an...

  • How to Change 4-Flat to 5-Flat on 2011 VW Touareg for Boat Trailer
  • I am not sure if you have the 4-flat on your 2011 VW Touareg or not already, but if not you simply need to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118668. You will then be able to connect it to a trailer 5-way such as # HM47910 by using the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036. All you need to do to install this adapter is plug one end into the 4-way on your VW and splice the blue wire to your Touareg's reverse light wire and you'll...

  • Is There a Wiring Harness for 2011 VW Touareg With Factory 7-Way for Tekonsha Primus IQ
  • So I can help you out with some info, but for a 2011 Volkswagen Touareg, there actually isn't an aftermarket wiring harness available for any brake controller, including the Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160, even though you have the factory 7-way. In order to install a brake controller, you will need the following parts that are available from a Volkswagen dealer - 1 connector housing (#1J0-972-782) and 2 wire/terminal assemblies (#000-979-228). I have added a link below to a tech bulletin...

  • Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier Compatibility with Towing 5,000 lb Boat
  • The Roadmaster Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier w/ 2" Receiver Opening - 2" Hitches # RM-195225 you referenced is rated to have a maximum tongue weight of 400 lbs. This is not to be used for towing a trailer but rather only for a hitch mounted accessory or flat towing a vehicle. If the tongue weight exceeds the 400 lbs, it is also not recommended to use this accessory. To safely tow your boat you will need to utilize another style of spare tire carrier or remove the spare tire carrier...

  • Are Thule Snow Chains Available for 255/55R18 Tires on a 2012 Volkswagen Touareg
  • Yes, you can use the Thule K-Summit XXL Tire Chains, part # TH02230K66, on your 2012 Volkswagen Touareg. I have attached a demonstration video for you to check out. Before purchasing tire chains for your 2012 VW Touareg you should consult your vehicle owners manual or the dealer to determine if VW recommends the use of tire chains on this vehicle and if so what chain clearance is required so you do not purchase chains that you cannot use or would damage the vehicle. I did a search online...

  • How To Install A Brake Controller On A 2014 Volkswagen Toureg
  • I have the video I think you are talking about linked here on a 2016 Volkswagen Touareg. The video link shows the Tekonsha Prodigy brake controller part # 90885. The Touareg does require a pigtail from the Volkswagen dealership to install a brake controller. The driver side left lower panel does need to be removed. Once you get the panel removed there will be a black plug with the wires attached to connect to the parts from the Volkswagen dealership. You need 1 electrical connector...

  • Stowed Length of ARK ORJW1SU Off Road Trailer Jack
  • The ARK # ORJW1SU Off-Road trailer jack will need about 21-3/4 inches of available space on the trailer tongue.

  • Malone Rooftop Cargo Box MPG910 Fit for 2012 Volkswagen Touareg with Whispbar Roof Rack
  • I checked with my contact at Malone for confirmation of compatibility of their rooftop cargo box # MPG910 on your VW Touareg that has a Whispbar aero-style roof rack. My contact said that even with only 1-1/2-inches of space between your bars and the roof the mounting hardware for the Malone box should have enough space to install properly. A handy accessory for rooftop cargo is the Telesteps Step # TE97FR. Inexpensive, lightweight and fully-assembled, this folding step makes it easy to...

  • Wheel Compatibility with EJ-3520-BBX Electric Trailer Jack
  • The Electric Jack w/ Footplate - A-Frame - 25-1/8" Lift - 3.5K - Black # EJ-3520-BBX has a 2 inch outer diameter lower tube so you can use the Ram Removable, 6" Poly Caster Assembly for 2" Jack Tube - 1,200 lbs # JC-101 but the wheel will reduce the capacity to 1,200 lbs. The wheel will always be the limiting capacity on a jack like this.

  • Replacement Pin To Hold Gate Of Utility Trailer
  • I recommend to use Bolt-On Stainless Steel Spring Latch pins part # SL716SS that can be bolted to the utility trailer to keep the gate closed. At this time we do not carry the clip/pin with chain for the gates on your Snowbear utility trailer. I have attached a photo of an example.

  • Thule AeroBlade Edge Compatible with 2015 VW Tiguan
  • The Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - Black # TH7503B-TH7503B is not compatible with the 2015 VW Tiguan. For the similar style that does fit your vehicle, I recommend the # TH7501B-TH7502B which is confirmed to fit.

  • Will The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018, Fit A 2004 VW Touareg With Factory Crossbars
  • The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018, will mount to crossbars that have a spread of 25-7/8", 27-7/8", or 29-7/8". It uses 4 inch wide U-bolts to attach to your crossbars, so it will fit crossbars up to 4 inches in diameter. I talked to SportRack and they said the thickness of the crossbar will not be a problem because the mounting hardware that is used will allow enough range to fit even the thickest of factory crossbars.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2008 VW Touareg V6
  • I checked with all of our vendors and even Volkswagen. For your 2008 Touareg we have the Curt Hitch item # C13315, but it tops out at 6,000 lbs and that cannot be increased with a weight distribution system. There is no 7,700 lbs capacity hitch available for your 2008 Volkswagen Toureg. It looks like the only way to fully reach the 7,700 lbs towing capacity was to get a Toureg with a hitch installed from VW. Since you plan on towing you will also need a ball mount kit item # C45534....

  • Roof Rack Fit for 2013 Volkswagen Touareg With Roof Rails and Sun Roof
  • There is definitely a solution for you, though it could be that you have a sun roof and not a moon roof. This matters in terms of fit, because a moon roof slides into a cavity in the roof and does not extend above it, while a sun roof generally does extend above it. Due to this, the rack you mentioned, Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX022, would not work for your 2013 Volkswagen Touareg because the rack should not be used with vehicles that have a sun roof. Additionally, each of the Yakima...

  • Sleek Low Profile Roof Rack in Black For a 2015 Volkswagen Touareg
  • I have an alternate option for you, but there is not a set of Yakima RailBar crossbars that fit your 2015 Volkswagen Touareg. Instead, you can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack # JA7969 which is confirmed to fit your Touareg. This roof rack is black and has the same sleek style as the RailBar's. It has a 176 lb. capacity and will allow you to use clamp-on and channel mount accessories.

  • How to Install Curt Adapter for 7-Way on 2011 Volkswagen Touareg to 4-Way Flat on Trailer
  • If your 2011 Volkswagen Touareg has a 7-Way connector then the Curt Adapter # C35FR is what you are loking for. According to the picture you sent in your trailer has a 4-Way flat connector. The adapter has 1 male pin and 4 female pins for the trailer connector which makes it compatible with both 4-Way flat and 5-Way flat trailer connectors. Since you have a 4-Way flat you will simply ignore that last female pin. If your Touareg doesn't have a 7-Way connector like you see on the pickup...
