  • The distance between the hitch pin hole of the Saris # SA4025F SuperClamp EX and the closest portion of the rack when folded up vertically toward the back of the vehicle is 7-1/4 as confirmed with Saris.

To see a product description video featuring the SuperClamp EX, click the provided link. I've also linked to an article that shows how to determine...

  • Installation Method for the Hidden Hitch on a 2022 VW Tiguan
  • The Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # DT62GR is installed into the frame by removing the back bumper cover on the 2022 Tiguan.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56403 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

  • Will the New England Patriots Logo Trailer Hitch Cover fit a 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan
  • The New England Patriots Logo Trailer Hitch Cover, # FTHB120S, will fit the 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan if your hitch has a 2 inch receiver opening. Unfortunately, if you have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, then we do not carry a Patriots cover for that size receiver hitch.

  • How to Determine Tongue Weight of An ATV Trailer with Two Four Wheelers Towed with a 2011 VW Tiguan
  • I believe you will find that your trailer setup will be within the 220 lb tongue weight limit of your 2011 VW Tiguan. You should check the actual tongue weight to be sure, but I did some calculations and found that if your trailer is loaded properly the tongue weight should be somewhere around 190 pounds at most. Close, but within the limit the manufacturer set for your Tiguan. Normal tongue weight for trailers is between 10 and 15 percent of total trailer weight for best towing performance....

  • How Much Does EcoHitch Trailer Hitch for 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan Weigh?
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7395 you were looking at weighs in around 55lbs. This is a confirmed fit for your '22 Volkswagen Tiguan and is the option I recommend for you due to its hidden crosstube which will give a very low-profile installed look.

  • Carrying 3 Bikes on a 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan with a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • You are limited to 2 bikes on a Class I trailer hitch receiver but not a Class II. If you have a Class II receiver on the Tiguan you can carry 3 bikes as long as you're still within the weight capacity of the hitch. We only carry Class II and Class III hitches for your VW so it's likely you have a Class II. Check the hitch, owner's manual, or with Volkswagen to find the hitch Class and capacities is the first step. If you find out it's a Class I hitch, or a Class II that isn't rated...

  • What Are the Dimensions of the Monitor in Hopkins Rearview Camera with Backup Sensor
  • The monitor itself, measures 3-1/2 inches long, 2-1/8 inches wide and about 1 inch thick. The mount is only about 1 inch from the back of the monitor to the base. It is an adhesive mount that could be mounted virtually anywhere; windshield, top of dash, and front of dash. Since it is not too long, it should not interfere with driving. I have included a video of this kit being installed on a 2009 Honda Accord.

  • Can 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan Tow Small Trailer
  • I looked up the towing capacity of your 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan and it can tow a trailer up to 1,500 lbs so with the Curt hitch part # C12177 installed (which is rated for more than that) you'd easily be able to tow a small trailer. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118811 which is custom fit and very reliable.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line
  • I checked with Curt, for your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line you are going to want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13381. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Tiguan with included hardware. VW added some extra trim pieces for the R-Line model. Those will need to be trimmed down significantly for the hitch to be installed. Removing or modifying these trim pieces will not affect the function of your hitch and shouldn't affect the appearance of your VW as the pieces are...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan
  • Yes, we do! To add a hitch to your 2023 VW Tiguan, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e43ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Tiguan with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I really like the etrailer item # e43ZR hitch because the main crosstube mounts behind the bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible, which not only looks better it helps with ground clearance. I have linked an installation video below and attached a couple...

  • Receiver Length Behind Hitch Pin On EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan
  • I recommend installing the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7393 on your 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan to use with your Yakima Dr Tray bike carrier. This receiver has a length of 3.25 from the hitch pin center hole to the back of the receiver. The Receiver # 306-X7395 only has 2" behind the pin hole center and will not allow you to properly use your anti-rattle that is built into the Dr tray. I recommend installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118811 when you install the receiver....

  • 2 Hitch for a 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan that Mounts in the Same Location as the Factory Hitch
  • I have one that does but the Hidden Hitch item # DT62GR will not. It will come out behind the bumper and hang significantly lower then your factory receiver. Instead, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7395. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan with included hardware. The EcoHitch item # 306-X7395 is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight so it'll be a solid upgrade from your factory hitch. It also...
