Expert Answers about Volkswagen Tiguan


  • 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....

  • Swapping to Larger Trailer Tires and Correct Load Range
  • The 225/75R15 is going to have about 3/4" taller sidewall so you will want to make sure you currently have about 2" of clearance around the tire when your suspension is compressed. Remember to also check the distance between both tires as this will decrease by 1-1/2". The width of the tire is going to only increase just under 1/2". So an additional 1/4" on each side of the tire. If these all work for your clearances than the next step is the load range. There are 3 load ranges available...

  • Picking Out Yakima Fairing for 2014 Volkswagen Tiguan
  • Measure the distance between the feet or raised rails on the roof of your 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan and pick out the Yakima fairing that falls right under that dimension in overall length. We have the part # Y05018 which measures 46 inches long, the part # Y05017 which is 40 inches, # Y05019 which is 52 and # Y05016 which is 34 inches. The great thing about Yakima fairings is that unlike other fairings their hardware can fit all crossbar shapes.

  • Are There Any Issues With Stromberg Carlson 2 Bike Carrier
  • The Stromberg Carlson Bike Carrier # LA-102 is designed to attach to the ladder on the back of your RV and we have had many favorable reviews from our customers for this rack. It is made of lightweight aluminum and has a weight capacity of 25-lbs per bike. Your RV ladder is designed to be able to hold a person, and the weight of the carrier and two bikes would be less than that of most people so it will be able to handle the carrier and bike well.

  • Compatibility of Yakima HangOut Trunk Mount 3-Bike Rack Y02638 on 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan
  • The Yakima HangOut 3 is indeed compatible with your 2013 VW Tiguan. The bottom-most straps would attach to the hatch using the included glass hatch hooks. The rack has a weight capacity of 90 lbs for three bikes. To carry womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # Y02531 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Fit a 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Model
  • Yes, the 1-1/4" # C12177 and 2" # C12177 Curt trailer hitches will fit your 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line model. In previous year R-Lines we have had customers say that they needed to adjust the exhaust hangers a little to keep the exhaust from rubbing against the trailer hitch and causing extra noise, but that is easily accomplished and you may not actually have to do that. Attached is an installation video of the 2" version, part # C12177, on a 2019 Tiguan for you to follow. I recommend...

  • Recommended Class II Hitch for a 2023 VW Tiguan
  • To add a class II hitch to your 2023 Tiguan you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C12177. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your VW with included hardware. You will definitely need to make some cuts underneath your vehicle, especially since you have the R-Line. This is the same for every hitch available for your VW. The good thing is they won't be visible unless you're lying underneath your vehicle. I have linked the instructions below along with an installation video so you...

  • Will Curt 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Fit a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
  • 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...

  • Will Curt Roof Rack Fit 2017 VW Tiguan With Factory Raised Rails

So the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # C18118 will fit your 2017 VW Tiguan perfectly and allow you to easily carry your kayaks with the Curt J-Style Kayak Carrier # C18320.

  • Is Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier Compatible With Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack
  • Yes, the Lockrack Adjustable Watersport Carrier # LR54FR is compatible with the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215. You will just need to use the Lockrack's included T-bolt hardware to mount the Lockrack to the Malone crossbars instead of the clamping system, because the Lockrack's clamps aren't quite large enough to fit around the Malone aero crossbars. I have added links below to video reviews for you to check out as well of the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215 and Lockrack Adjustable...

  • Snow Chains For 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan 4 Motion
  • I do have an option for you but I was not able to access the owner's manual for your 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan 4 Motion. It is very likely that you have limited clearance to use snow chains on the Tiguan. I recommend to use the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains part # th02230k55 to eliminate the worry of clearance. The Konig K-Summit XL chains just fit around the tire tread of the 235/50-19 tire and attaches with the lug nut adapters. I still recommend to take a look at the copy...

  • Will Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Interfere With Auto Lift Gate Sensor On 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan
  • You are correct that the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e43ZR is a confirmed fit for your 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan. I reached out to Draw-Tite directly and my contact mentioned that they have not heard of any issues from customers who installed the Draw-Tite # e43ZR. With the hitch installed you may have to move your foot to either side of the receiver to find the sweet spot and get your liftgate to work and just remember where that location is, but after doing it a few times it will...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line
  • The Curt Class III Trailer Hitch # C13381 will fit all options for the VW Tiguan in the 2022 model year, including the R-Line. This is also a pretty simple and straight forward install requiring no drilling to complete. I included a link to an install we did on a 2020 Tiguan for you to check out as well, but we haven't had the chance to install a hitch on a 2022 R-Line as of yet. From what I could see of the underside and back of the vehicle, which I will admit wasn't a whole lot, and...
