The only tools needed to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13381 on your 2020 VW Tiguan are a ratchet, torque wrench, 13mm & 16mm sockets, as well as safety glasses. The installation of this hitch is as simple as possible and literally only requires you to remove bolts, lift the hitch up and reinstall the bolts.

I have added a link to the installation instructions as well as a link to a video install for you to check out as well.
