Trailer Hitch Receiver Towing Capacity For 2022 Volkswagen Taos

Question:

I read the 2022 Taos has a towing capacity of 5,000 lb. Your hitch I think reads 2,000 lbs. Is this right or am I wrong? thanks

The 2022 Volkswagen Taos does not have a listed towing capacity, which automakers sometimes do if the car was not "designed for towing." So if you do decide to tow, you'll need to take that into consideration; but as for the capacities of the hitches, there is a 2,000 lb capacity hitch that fits your '22 Taos, which is the following:
