Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan
Question:
I have a 2018 VW Tiguan. Would you recommend the Draw-Tite DT53GR or the Curt C13381? I live in Canada, is one more corrosion resistant? Is the build quality better on one?
asked by: Jason N
Expert Reply:
Hey Jason, personally I'd recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT53GR. Draw-Tite has a great reputation as being a good quality hitch and has become a household name in the industry. Similar to Curt, this hitch has a higher overall capacity, has a flat black powder coat finish with an e-coat base for superior corrosion resistance, and has an easy bolt on install.
