• 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.

• 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...

• A-Frame Jack for Camper With Low Height
• The dimensions that are important for an A-frame jack are the retracted height and extended height, which tells you what the travel is. It's pretty simple, but the different terms can be confusing. Travel is just the extended height minus the retracted height, and these heights are measured from the bottom of the mounting point to the bottom of the foot. For example, for your low 17 inch measurement from the top of the A-frame to the ground I recommend the Ultra-Fab Electric A-Frame Jack...

• Is a Flint Hill Goods 29x49 Cargo Carrier with ramp Compatible with 2016 VW Tiguan
• I may have a solution for you, however there is not an adapter that will work for you without reducing the weight capacity. As you said any adapter will reduce the weight capacity by 50 percent making it not enough. My best recommendation would be to check the tongue weight capacity of your 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan in the owner's manual if you haven't already. You need to make sure it can handle what is necessary because that will determine the maximum amount your vehicle will carry...

• The only available trailer hitch for a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta Sedan TDI is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11410 which is rated at 200 lbs tongue weight and 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight. The tongue weight capacity of the hitch/vehicle is not rated high enough to haul a motorcycle which is the case for pretty much any small sedan.

• What Is The Maximum Tongue Weight For the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7362?
• I reached out to Torklift to confirm the weight rating of the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7362 and they confirmed the maximum tongue weight is 750lbs. They are now aware of the discrepancy listed on their website and are working to fix the issue. Do be sure to verify the maximum tongue weight and trailer capacity on your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas as it does not always have the same rating as the receiver. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118754 will give you a 4-way flat...

• Best Ground Clearance Hitch For 2015 Volkswagen Golf TSI
• The trailer hitch we offer for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf TSI with the best ground clearance is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7309 which fits right up to the bottom of the rear bumper fascia. It also does not have a crosstube that hangs down as low as the hitch opening like the other hitches have which means much better ground clearance when turning into elevation changes like driveways. It measures 11 inches from the top of the receiver opening to the ground. I attached a video for you to see this.

• Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver Height on a 2008 Volkswagen Passat Wagon
• The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar, part # 11096, is designed so that the receiver tube will sit right underneath the rear bumper of your vehicle with minimal clearance. I would measure how far the bumper of your 2008 Volkswagen Passat Wagon sits from the ground, and then subtract about 2-1/2 to 3 inches from that. The result will be close to how far the hitch will sit from the ground.

• Can my 2012 Golf Carry a Hitch Mounted Motorcyle Carrier and Motorcycle
• There is not a good way to connect a motorcycle to the back of your Golf using a carrier. Your bike weighs 240 lbs. not including the carrier and this hitch has a weight capacity of 200 lbs. listed on the product page. With that said you will be well over capacity. You can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11000 and the Tekonsha Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119190KIT for a hitch and wiring and use it to pull a small trailer.
