Comparing Ground Clearance with Curt and Draw-Tite Hitches for 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan  

Question:

How far from the ground does this hitch sit on a 2019 Tiguan?

0

Expert Reply:

The distance from the ground to the top of the receiver tube opening on the Curt # C12177 is approximately 11-1/2 inches. This is also true for the Curt Class III - 2 inch Hitch Receiver # C13381.

When we installed the Curt Hitch # C13381 on a 2019 VW Tiguan we measured 5" from the hitch pin hole to the bumper. Since the closest part for the 24x60 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18151 when folded up is 9" this will definitely fit.
