The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7393 is the a great receiver for your 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL. The removable receiver tube and construction with recycled materials is a great option. I do recommend considering the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite # DT62GR and Stealth Hitches # SH49ZR as well. I personally like these options as they are much easier to install and remove as they do not use a threaded bolt like the EcoHitch. This is very helpful as if its not easily removable then you will be more likely to just leave it in all the time.

The Draw-Tite Receiver # DT62GR will require two Quick Links # 37201335 in the event you will be doing any trailer towing. The holes in the receiver cross tube are too small for most trailer chains to connect. You will also then need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118811 for the lights on your trailer. This can be used with either the Draw-Tite or EcoHitch receivers.

The Stealth Hitches Receiver # SH49ZR as is will only work with hitch mounted accessories such as a cargo rack or bike rack. For towing they offer the Towing Kit # SH82VR which will include a separate attachment with a 2" hitch ball. It also includes the wiring and chain hanger connections giving you everything you need to tow a trailer using a 2" hitch ball. The Carrying Case # 391CASEC is great to have with this receiver as it is custom fit for the 2" receiver and ball mount. This helps prevent the parts from rattling around when not needed or getting misplaced.

Answer 10

In my experience I have found the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness #118811 to be the better 4-way wiring for your 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan. The internal components in the powered converter do not go out as often as those in the Curt T-Connector #C56403.
