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" Diameter x 2-1/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 7,500 lbs, # 63845, or a 1-7/8" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2-1/8" Long Shank - Chrome - 3,500 lbs, # C40002.
