Expert Answers about Volkswagen Tiguan
- Will Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness 118811 Fit 2023 VW Tiguan
- Yes, we have confirmed that the Tekonsha # 118811 will fit the 2023 VW Tiguan. The T-One connectors will plug into the connection points in the rear cargo area. Once installed, you'll have a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights.
If you also need a trailer hitch, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e43ZR. This is identical to the Curt # C13381 you looked at but with a matte black powder coat finish. This does a better job hiding dirt and dings compared to a glossy finish....

- Yes. The etrailer # e98906 will be plenty strong to allow you to carry a bike rack and bikes with a weight of up to 350-lbs total on your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. This hitch has a 2" receiver that will allow you to carry a wide variety of hitch mounted accessories, in addition to a bike rack.
If you're looking for a 3 bike rack to use on your new hitch, I recommend using the RockyMounts Westslope # RKY10223 because the platform makes it easy to get bikes on and off, plus this rack tilts...

view full answer... - Current Output Capacity for Tekonsha 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness 118675
- 4-pole wiring harnesses, which carry stop, turn and tail light signals, generally have a current output in the range of 2 to 4 amps in each of the stop/turn circuits and from 4 to 7.5-amps in the taillight circuit. These current ratings can vary by harness manufacturer and by vehicle year, make and model.

- Since you want to carry a dirt bike and carrier as well as regular bikes I recommend a Class III trailer hitch for your 2015 Volkswagen Tiguan, # e98906. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. Consult the Tiguan owner's manual to determine its tongue weight capacity and go by the lower rating.
As long as the combined weight of the dirt bike and your carrier does not exceed the lower tongue weight capacity rating then you will be good to go. I have included a link to a video...

- For your 2019 VW Tiguan, I recommend you start with the roof rack. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 and the Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs # RRSX100. Then for your canoe, I recommend the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Universal Mount # Y04069 which comes with the tie downs and support needed.
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a 2023 VW Tiguan SE
- Yes, the etrailer Hitch item # e43ZR is custom fit and will definitely work with your 2023 Tiguan SE. This hitch fits all models of the 2023 Tiguan.
I really like this hitch because of its matte black finish. It tends to blend in better beneath vehicles over comparable hitches that have a glossy finish.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a ball mount kit item # C45534.
view full answer... - What is the Distance from the Pinhole to the Closest Part of the Malone Runway 2 # MPG2149?
- On the Malone Runway Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # MPG2149, there are actually two pin holes available on the shank to use for the pin. I confirmed with my contact at Malone that the the first pinhole is 8-8/3 inches away from the first bike wheel loop and the second pinhole is 10-1/4 inches way from the first bike wheel loop. Since the measurement from the pinhole of the hitch 76192 to the end of the bumper is 5 inches, you will have no clearance issues.

- First you will want to use your Test Light # PTW2993 to test for power going into the Curt T-Connector # C56403 on your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. This will allow you to determine if the module is somehow getting a signal or if the module itself is defective. If you do not have power on the green wire going into the module but have power on the green wire coming out of the module you know the module is defective.
If the green wire does have power you will want to check the connectors to...

- We have had a customer successfully install the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # C13381 on a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line with the only modification being that they had to lower the exhaust a little as the muffler was in contact with the trailer hitch. This isn't too uncommon though and we have a helpful article that I have linked for you to check out that goes over how to accomplish this.
Since the Class II 1-1/4 Curt Trailer Hitch # C12177 installs the same way you will be able to install...

view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack For 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan With Factory Side Rails And Moon Roof
- The Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack you referenced is designed to fit the factory raised side rails on your 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan, but will not work if you have a sunroof installed.
I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack System for your vehicle. Thule does have a note of caution that the roof rack may interfere with the sunroof opening, so you will want to make sure you keep it closed when the roof rack is in place.
This roof rack features WingBar crossbars that are some of the quietest...
view full answer... - Recommended Hidden Trailer Hitch For 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan
- I have a solution for you, but the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # 306-X7313 is not a fit for your 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan. The correct EcoHitch receiver for your vehicle is EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # 306-X7393. The receiver itself can be easily unbolted from the hitch, allowing for a completely hidden OEM look.
I really like the fact that this receiver is constructed of a strong alloy that is made of recycled materials like aluminum steel, and stainless steel....
view full answer... - Can a 2019 VW Tiguan Carry a Mobility Scooter With the Stealth Hitches SH49ZR Installed?
- The Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH49ZR will be rated up to 350 pounds, but from what I could find, it will be rated up to 220 pounds when installed on a 2019 VW Tiguan as this is the vehicle's max tongue weight capacity. With that being said, as long as the combined weight of the scooter and its carrier is less than the 220 pounds, you will be good to go. If it ends up being heavier than 220 pounds, you will need to go another way.
You can add the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and...
view full answer... - Installing Trailer Wiring Harness Part #C59496 on a 2013 VW Tiguan
- Some vehicles combine stop and tail light functions onto 1 circuit and then also have an additional tail light function wire that is independent of the stop (such as your 2013 VW Tiguan).
These vehicles will require that you attach the trailer light power module red “stop” wire to the same combined circuit on the vehicle and then attach the brown “tail light” circuit to the independent circuit on the vehicle.
