What is the best hitch for a 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan?

Expert Reply:
The best hitch for a 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan is the etrailer item # e43ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your VW with included hardware. This hitch fits all models of the 2023 Tiguan.
The etrailer item # e43ZR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver visible.
I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # 119250KIT and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
I 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.
