Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan
Question:
Do you have a hitch for a 2023 VW Tiguan? Best Regards
asked by: Pete
Expert Reply:
Yes, we do! To add a hitch to your 2023 VW Tiguan, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e43ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Tiguan with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver.
I really like the etrailer item # e43ZR hitch because the main crosstube mounts behind the bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible, which not only looks better it helps with ground clearance.
I have linked an installation video below and attached a couple of pictures so you can see what this hitch looks like installed.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
