The recommended install harness for the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR to install in your 2012 Volkswagen Touareg is the Curt # C51522 which would match color for color when you wire it to the Redarc controller. So yes, you'd just need to match the colors and you'd be good. view full answer...
If you have a 2004 Volkswagen Touareg then we do have hitch fits for your vehicle like what you mentioned, but we don't have anything for a 2002 model as that isn't a year they had a Touareg to our knowledge.
The hitch I'd recommend is the Curt part # 13220 though as its advantage is that it is made in the USA and has the better price currently. All other things are basically equal though as far as weight capacities and install time.
For trailer wiring then the best option is the very... view full answer...
Your solution would be exactly what I would do since it will bypass all of the vehicle wiring and take out any of the guess work. Just run 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 through a breaker like part # 9510 from the positive post of the vehicle battery to the 1:00 pin of the 7-way and the circuit would be active and ready to be used by # TK94FR. view full answer...
The best way to determine the correct ball mount for your vehicle and trailer combination is to measure from the ground to the top of the receiver tube on the vehicle, and from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler, with the trailer level. If the hitch height is greater you will need a ball mount with a drop equal to the difference and if the trailer coupler height is greater you will need a ball mount with a rise equal to the difference. You will also need to make sure the ball... view full answer...
Yes, the tech bulletin you referenced (which I linked) does apply to your 2013 Volkswagen Touareg for installing a brake controller. That would be why your local shops are a bit leery on the install.
A way around the complexity is the RF brake controller part # TK94FR which actually installs on the trailer and uses the brake signal from there which is much easier. All you need is a 7-way with an active 12 volt circuit.
I also attached a link to an install video. view full answer...
I can help point you in the right direction for sure. The "with or without tow package" will determine what plug or "pigtail" comes with the brake controller.
On the 2017 Volkswagen Touareg, vehicles with the factory tow package will have a 7 way trailer plug on the back, and will be equipped with a factory brake control port under the dash. If you do have the tow package you can use the plug and play pigtail # C51522 to easily install the Curt Assure # C49UR.
If you do not have the tow... view full answer...
Usually when a Class III trailer hitch is not rated for use with weight distribution it is because the vehicle itself is not rated for weight distribution. Check the owners manual for your 2012 Volkswagen Touareg to determine if it can use weight distribution.
Even if the vehicle can use weight distribution you are still limited to the capabilities of the trailer hitch used. In this case none of the hitches for the 2012 Touareg can be used with weight distribution like you said.

The Volkswagen Touaregs all require the use of the relay you mentioned regardless of the controller used. The install video you mentioned is attached below and it shows the same process needed for your 2013 model if you use the P2 part # 90885 or the P3 part # 90195. view full answer...
You can install a Tekonsha brake controller like the P2 part # 90885 in a 2012 Volkswagen Touareg with a factory 7-way.

For your 2015 Volkswagen Touareg I recommend the P2 # 90195. It is our most popular brake controller because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable.
Installation of the controller on a Touareg requires some special steps. I have included a link to a help article that explains what you will need to do to install the controller on your Touareg. view full answer...

For your 2017 VW Touareg, I think you are looking for the Curt Vertical Receiver Adapter - 2" to 2", 4-1/4" Long, 2-7/16" Drop # C45013. I recommend using the Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - 2-5/8" Span, # 63232 with this application to reduce movement and noise while securing your accessory.
If you are looking for a ball mount, I recommend the Curt Vertical 2" to Fixed Ball Mount - 12-3/8" Long, 2-1/4" Rise, # C45003. This mount can use a 2" Hitch Ball - 1"... view full answer...
The best brake controller option we offer for multiple vehicles is the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 since it can be easily transferred without any splicing or drilling. It's also ideal for vehicles without a brake controller port like VW and Mercedes since it's wireless and doesn't require splicing which we know German vehicles do not like. view full answer...
Typically people use a large crescent wrench to hold the wrench flats on the ball of the # C45036 but if you wanted a dedicated wrench you'd want a wrench in the size of 1-1/2 inch. You'd want to tighten the nut of the hitch ball to 250 ft lbs. view full answer...
The correct Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for your 2013 Porsche Cayenne is the Draw-Tite # 75950 and is a great cost effective option that fits nearly the same as the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13116 you mentioned.
Between these two hitches I would go with whichever hitch is the most cost effective at the time as they share the same 750lb tongue weight rating and 7500lb trailer weight rating and are very similar in overall design and installation.

The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118509 you were looking at for your 2008 Volkswagen Touareg needs to be run directly to the vehicle battery as shown in the included video and installing it in a different matter can void the warranty of the harness.
The reason for this is connecting it to an existing circuit like the 12v outlets mentioned can overload that circuit and cause you to blow that fuse making you lose trailer lights, or worse, damage... view full answer...
The Reese Strait-Line weight distribution systems are among the best systems available and I do highly recommend them. To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle.
Trailer tongue weight is typically 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. So a trailer... view full answer...
The primary differences between the lowest and highest priced Tekonsha controllers is the features they offer.
The Voyager, part # 39510 works very well, but its pretty limited in the range it can be mounted under the dash. It is also not very user friendly in that there is not an digital LED display to provide any feedback if the controller malfunctions for any reason.
The Primus # TK90160 and the P2 # 90885 are pretty similar. Both controllers feature LED displays that provide feedback... view full answer...
