Expert Answers about Volkswagen Tiguan
- What is Difference Between etrailer and Curt Hitch for 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan
- The Curt hitch part # C13381 and etrailer hitch part # e43ZR are very similar as they are both made by same company with the only real difference being that the etrailer hitch has a matte finish and the Curt has a gloss finish.
It's a pretty subtle difference but matte will be a little less noticeable and should hide scratches and scuffs better.
The ground clearance dimension between the two should be identical. I am not sure how two different numbers were come up with unless there...

- If you are concerned with clearance between the bike rack and vehicle, the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z would be the one you want to look at. This rack provides at least 11" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of wheel hoop.
If you would like to add locks to either of the above bike racks then you can do so using the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock part # HRLHPTC which locks both the bike rack and bikes. I have attached a review video one each...

- In my experience I have found the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118811 to be the better 4-way wiring for your 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan. The internal components in the powered converter do not go out as often as those in the Curt T-Connector # C56403.

- The Ecohitch part # 306-X7395 and the etrailer hitch part # e43ZR are very similar hitches that fit your 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan which accomplish the same goal. They provide a mostly hidden hitch where only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. If you don't need the extra capacity of the EcoHitch the etrailer would definitely be the way to go as it costs less and installs easier. I attached pictures of both hitches installed for you to check out.

- Aero style roof racks like the Yakima Jetstream, Thule AeroBlade and Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero will definitely create less wind turbulence (and so less noise) than round and square bar racks typically do. For your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan that has factory-installed roof rails we offer a number of these aero roof rack systems that are shown on the linked page.
Different vehicle's overall shapes and their roof profiles will add variables to the actual pattern of air flow across the bars and so...

- The Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer part # CAM55313 and Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Protector part # CAM55306 are similar in that they both work to protect the trailer from power surges and have diagnostic lights to help with troubleshooting. However, the Voltage Protector goes a bit beyond this as the voltage detection system is much more sophisticated sensing both high and low voltages in addition to surges. The Circuit Analyzer can only detects power surges, not high and...

- There is only one difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13133 and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98906 that fit your 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan, which is the finish.
The Curt trailer hitch has a glossy black finish while the etrailer hitch has a matte black finish; other than that everything is equal, such as their 3,500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight capacities, as well as the installation. The two hitches have a hidden look, which means only the receiver is showing so...

- That is a good question. Comparing the 1-1/4" # C12097 and 2" # C13133 hitch for the 2017 VW Tiguan S, there is a slight difference in ground clearance, but not much. the 1-1/4" hitch # C12097 will sit about 3/4" higher than the 2" hitch.
When we measure ground clearance, we measure from the upper inside edge of the hitch receiver, to the ground. This measurement is exactly the same (16") for both hitches. The only difference is the size of the receiver. The 2" hitch, being slightly larger,...

- Many Curt brand hitches do carry the warranty requirement to use a strap like # 18050 when any non-wheeled load is installed in the hitch, such as a bike rack or cargo carrier. This applies both to their 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch # C12097 and their 2-inch Class III hitch # C13133. The strap can be positioned at the top of the rear hatch, or on other vehicles to one of the raised roof side rails or roof rack crossbars.
Since use of the strap can be a nuisance for some folks, I suggest choosing...
view full answer... - Bumper Mount and Frame Mount Trailer Hitches for a 2011 Volkswagen Tiguan
- On most vehicles, the bumper beam is attached to the vehicle frame. A hitch that attaches to the bumper beam (a lot of Jeep and Dodge truck applications are like this) is just as safe and secure as a frame mount hitch. It would take an impressive amount of force and one heck of a crack in the road to pull the bumper off of a vehicle, provided the hitch is installed correctly.
Your mechanic may be thinking of a hitch that attaches to a square bumper like # E-100. You would not use this...
