Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

Today on our 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan, we're going to take a look at and also show you how to install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Custom Fit Class III trailer hitch receiver. Offering the two inch by two inch receiver tube opening, its part number is 75658. Here's what our hitch is going to look like installed. As you can see, we're not adding a whole lot to the rear of the vehicle, so it's going to maintain its quality looks. Basically, what we'll see is our receiver tube opening here. You've got the reinforcement collar, which is a nice, rounded look. Then our safety chain connection points here.
The rest of the bracket and stuff is right up underneath here, which is an extremely easy hitch to install. Now, this is a Class III hitch, so we've got a two inch by two inch receiver tube opening, and it makes it an extremely versatile hitch. Now, when we secure those items, we always want to use the pinhole located closer to the front of the vehicle. It's the larger of the two. It's 5/8 of an inch in diameter, and there's a good amount of room around there for whatever locking hitch, pin, or anti-rattle device you might decide to use. The one located further to the rear is only for use with the J-Pin Stabilization System. Now, when we use accessories on our hitch, we've got to watch our weight ratings.
The hitch is going to have a 350 pound tongue weight rating, so that's the maximum downward force we can put at the receiver tube opening, and it gives us a 3500 pound gross trailer weight rating. That's going to be the total weight of your trailer and anything that you add on to it. Now, you also want to check the owner's manual on the Tiguan to see what its tow rating is and use whichever of those are the lowest. Also, something to keep in mind, the hitch is not rated for use with weight distribution. Now, a few measurements that you'll find helpful when it's time to select your ball mount bike rack or hitch cargo carrier will be from the ground to the inside top edge of the receiver tube opening, we've got about 15 1/2 inches. Then from the center of our hitch pin hole to the outer most edge of our bumper, it's about three. Now, to begin our installation, we need to just trim out the little panel here.
That's going to allow us to see up to our weld nuts located behind. I'm going to come over six and a half inches from that outside edge. We'll use a straight edge to square that off and get it trimmed out with a razor knife. Now, let's get those cleaned out. You can use a little bit of spray lubricant here and a nylon tube brush.
This is part number 814092. Now, we'll get our hitch raised up into position. You'll see this lip on the front. You just have to get that in first, rotate it up, and we'll just install our bolts in the four locations. Mechanical tube washer, just want to make sure that the teeth of that washer are facing up toward our hitch when we get it installed. With all four installed, we'll snug them down, and then we'll torque them to the specifications listed in our instructions. . All right, at that point, our hitch is ready for use. That will complete our instillation of the Draw-Tite Custom Fit Class III trailer hitch receiver, part number 75658 on our 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan.

This Hidden Hitch fits and looks great. I had it professionally installed here in Canada, but the installer said it was very easy, even the dremmel work on the plastic.
The delivery was very fast and product was received exactly as advertised.
The best part was that I was able to talk with a human to ensure I was ordering the right parts. That's important when the items are headed to a different country.
This hitch is incredibly easy to install and looks great on my Tiguan.
looks good and thanks for the great service....as usual

Great website. I liked the video for my vehicle in particular. I appreciated the frequent correspondence during processing and shipment. Product worked great and now I can easily transport my bicycle on my Tiguan.
Although I haven't installed this yet, it is very heavy duty and well made. The package arrived in great shape and in record time, Everything needed was in the box. Excellent service!
I ordered the hitch and the trailer the day before and was completely impressed and thrilled to receive it the next day. My husband installed it without any problems, too! :) We would definitely order again and would inform others of this product.

Everyting arrived super fast and all parts were complete and without a scratch. ETRAILER is on the money!
Extremely easy to install. Only took me thirty minutes. The only hefty labor involved is to insert the bolts properly and to tighten them to the correct torque which is mentioned in the instructions.
