Availability Of 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan

Question:

Hello I hope all is well. I have a 2021 VW TIGUAN SE. Im looking to put a 2inch hitch on it. But Im a little confused by the recommendations because there are recommended hitches that have typos stating that the hitch isnt guaranteed to fit the vehicle. Would like to know which hitches actually fit my vehicle. Would like more then 1 option if possible. Happy 4th!

I would be happy to recommend a 2" trailer hitch receiver for your 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan SE!

At this time (7/2/2021) there is only one 2" trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit your vehicle, the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # SH49ZR.

This hitch has a 350lb tongue weight rating and when used with the receiver attachment is only able to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier, and cannot be used to tow a trailer.

If you are wanting to tow a trailer with your Tiguan you will also need the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - 2" Ball # SH82VR which includes a custom fit ball mount and vehicle wiring harness with 4-way connector.

I included a link to the written instructions of the # SH49ZR for you to take a look at.
