With a 3,500 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 350 lbs maximum tongue weight, this Class III hitch is built for light to moderate towing and gear hauling. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with standard bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts, giving you flexibility for whatever you’re hauling. Whether you’re taking a couple of bikes out for the weekend or pulling a small camper, the fully welded steel construction delivers reliable strength every time.
You don’t need a lift or specialty tools to get this installed. The hitch uses an easy bolt-on design with a complete hardware kit and clear instructions included. No welding is required, so it’s perfect for a DIY install at home. The precision fit means the mounting holes line up cleanly, helping you get it bolted in place without frustration.
Every hitch goes through Draw-Tite’s Tested Tough program, which pushes performance beyond standard SAE testing. Each unit is computer-aided and fully welded for maximum durability, then finished with an e-coat base and black powder coat for superior rust protection. This isn’t just lab-tested strength—it’s built to handle real-world fatigue and static loads so you can tow with peace of mind year after year.
The no cross tube layout keeps the hitch tucked in tight under the rear bumper, so it looks clean and unobtrusive when not in use. You get a functional receiver that blends in neatly instead of standing out. It’s a practical setup that keeps the focus on your vehicle while being ready for towing or carrying gear at any time.

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.

Still great. I only use it for a bike rack so I cant comment on its towing ability but Ive been very happy. It holds the bike rack very steady even at Interstate speeds. A friend asked me about it and he bought one for his car for a bike rack and I know hes been very happy with it. He was also amazed how easy it was to install although he had to lower the exhaust and how ridiculous it was that a car dealer wanted to charge him so much to do it.
