A weight distribution hitch like the Fastway e2 system # FA92-00-1200 works over a range of trailer tongue weight (TW), usually a range of several hundred pounds. This particular system has an operating range of 800- to 1200-lbs of trailer tongue weight making it perfect for a total TW of about 1000-lbs. Based on the specs you mentioned if this is what you have it may well be over-rated for your trailer's actual loaded TW.
Do please note that the weight of any cargo in the tow vehicle... view full answer...

We have lighter weight trailer similar to the Malone you referenced with the part # MPG460G which is the Malone MicroSport trailer that weighs 197 lbs. This is still a steel trailer though as we don't offer an aluminum option. view full answer...
While we do not have the exact measurements of the height of the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 50" Long # MPG215 on a 2015 Volkswagen Touareg with raised rails, we do have an approximate measurement for you. The reason why we cannot provide an exact measurement is because it truly depends on how the crossbars clamp onto the rails and the overall height of the rails.
From the looks of photos of your 2015 Volkswagen Tourareg, the raised... view full answer...

The amperage rating for the Tekonsha trailer wiring harness part # 118668 that you referenced is 4.2 amps per each stop/turn circuit and 7.5 amps for the running light circuit. While I certainly understand how tempting it is to power the wiring kit from a more convenient circuit to access than the vehicle battery you really have to make sure you use the vehicle battery only as it's only method that won't void warranty.
The reason it draws from the battery is so that it can totally bypass... view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack that consists of # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX022 for your 2016 Volkswagen Touareg does have a weight capacity of 165 pounds. I also recommend checking the capacity of your vehicle's roof as listed in the owner's manual. You will need to stay below the lower of the two limits.
This is a very nice roof rack system that features two 49 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars for a quiet and low-profile design. The SX Series Legs will simply clamp onto the factory raised side rails... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13116 which is a fit for a 2013 Volkswagen Touareg is rated for 7,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 750 lbs tongue weight. This is the highest rated option for this vehicle but keep in mind you will need to abide by the towing capacity of the vehicle as well if lower. view full answer...
Weight distribution (WD) systems need to be selected based on the measured tongue weight (TW) of the fully-loaded trailer, with all gear and supplies in place, to which you will add the weight of anything in the vehicle that sits behind the rear axle, such as a generator. This vehicle cargo weight acts just like trailer TW and so it must be included in the calculation. This lets you select a WD system that is rated properly to give you the weight shift you're looking for without creating... view full answer...
Different versions of a given vehicle can have varying towing capacities based on their engine, transmission and suspension packages, so it is best to check your own VW owner's manual to see what the car's rated towing capacity is. I reviewed online resources that indicate some versions can tow as much as 7700-lbs. A check of your manual is in order. Since your car can be fitted with a 2-inch Class III hitch chances are good that it will have a pretty good rated towing capacity.

The outer diameter of the smallest round part of # 331-TPSI-003 is 1-1/16 inches. That's not counting the tabs or the beveled section and is shown by the red arrow. I think that's what you're asking about. If not let me know.
With that being said at the top of that is a notch that makes it so the hole you drill may need to be larger. From top to bottom with the notch it measures 1-1/8, just like the tabs, and is shown with the yellow arrow. view full answer...
