Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 VW Tiguan SEL
Question:
The VW hitch for this car apparently will not fit the 7 seat cars which all SELs without 4 wheel drive have as standard. You find this in the fine print on the VW accessories web site. And it isnt cheep. Im buying a 2018 Tiguan SEL with front wheel drive only and it has the 7 passenger 3rd row of seats. Proper hitch for this car? No trimming rear fascia. Inductive wiring harness work OK ? Is there a 2inch receiver available so I can use my 2inch ball mount ? I Is there a requirement to use a specific height ball mount as was necessary with the VW Golf ?

For your 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan we have the Curt hitch part # C13381 which is a confirmed fit and will fit your seat configuration as well. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening as well.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 119250KIT which is also a confirmed fit.
