Delivery was very fast. The installation was straight forward and I completed it within the estimated hour they said it would take.
The only issue I had was the first hitch had shipping damage where the receiver end had come through the box and was scraped and banged up. etrailer gave me the option for a paint discount or ship a new one. I opted for a new one which they promptly shipped out.
Customer service was excellent and the hitch itself looks to be good quality.
Well engineered and built hitches! I have purchased a few. I only wish there was more care in packaging the hitch for shipping. My mounting brackets pierced the box and the finish has been damaged. Damage to powder coat breaks the integrity of the coating and can promote corrosion. I don’t mind touching up the bare metal with paint, but it’s a step needed before installing the hitch.
Installed it on my 2025 VW Tiguan in about 2.5 hours. Looking forward to use it for my bike rack.
Would suggest to better packing for shipment. As received, the receiver was protruding from the box which had caused the paint to get slightly damaged.
2025 Tiguan. Fit was great and no trimming of bumper. Note that, when installing, the exposed thread of the bolts after tightening is less on the set that is closest to the bumper. Recommend using a coat hanger to pull the provided fish wires through the holes. Aligning the last bolt can be a bit of a challenge and was the only reason for the approximate 1 hour install time.
Fits perfect I almost got it on but iam getting too old to do the work idis not get it on at 5pm it was beautiful in Colorado today! Taking it to our friend shop for old people it a 2 man job but I tried. Great hitch thanks. Iam 77 years old ! I had fun today !
Wasn't sure about installing it myself but gave it a try. Installation took less than an hour, a little stressful fishing the wires through the frame to pull in the spacer's & bolts. No bumper trimming as stated in the instructions, very satisfied with the hitch.
The bolt on arms from left right was about 5/8 short in fitting between the frame .That left the treads short to screw on the bolts could not use the washers on one side.Also the 25 Tiguan did not need to trim the bumper
The exhaust tips on either end of the muffler make it next to, or actually impossible to install. Mine is a 2026 Turbo which might have a different muffler? Anyhow, its been over a week since I asked for help and I have gotten no reply to my mail.
Very simple install, (under 1 hour) I did not have to trim the bumper cover, A perfect fit on the 2025 VW Tiguan
Just whatnI needed at a fair price and delivered quickly!
I thought it was a little bit overpriced, but it fit the vehicle
Ashley made everything easy and worked perfectly
Was very easy to install on my 2025 vw Tiguan.
Have had great success with e-trailer hitches in the past, so this was a great disappointment. Fit was poor. (Distance between hitch mounting plates and auto attachment rails was wrong.) When I fed this back, I received no follow-up to resolve the situation.

Hey, Greg. I'm sorry to hear that you ran into issues when installing the hitch. These hitches are made out of a mild flex steel and sometimes between being shipped to us or from us to you they can flex out of shape. I attached a help article that goes over how to fix this and get the hitch installed. It sounds like you already got the hitch installed so may not find this information helpful but I still wanted to share it with you. If you need anything else Greg, you are always welcome to reach out to me directly.

Sorry to hear that, Kurt. I double checked with Curt and this hitch is designed to fit all versions of 2026 VW Tiguan, so I don't think the muffler/exhaust tips should be causing issues with the install. Did you happen to watch our install video for this hitch? Does you exhaust look significantly different?
