Specs:
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.Installation was not as directed. Had to remove a plastic air damn from the rear bumper to access the holes needed. This had 5 torx screws and 2 10mm bolt. Then the fish wire does not have enough clearance to pull through if done before you place the hitch for the rear 2 bolts. I places the front two bolts and then raised the hitch. Then fished the two rear bolts through while using a car jack to hold the hitch in place. Also the clearance in general was extremely tight. Had to scrap all the weather proofing off the frame in the rear area to get this to fit. Which required me to raise and lower the hitch with a car jack multiple times. Maybe re visit the fitment for newer Tiguan models?
Hitch was exactly as described, super easy to install on 2020 VW Tiguan. High quality materials. One helpful tip if installing it by yourself, use a small hydraulic jack to hold the muffler in place when dropping it down to install the hitch. Also, use the jack to help lift the hitch into place as lining up the frame holes might be a bit problematic otherwise. Installed in a half hour, no sweat.
Exactly what I was looking for. I installed it on a 2020 Tiguan S. Installation was a little more challenging than I expected because the mounting points slid upwards internally in my car as soon as I undid them initially. This prevented me from inserting the bolts as well. I used a screwdriver to leverage these internal points down and pin the hitch in place at first. I was then able to install the two rear-facing bolts. I was then also able to install one of the two front facing bolts. The last bolt was a challenge (front, passenger side). I ultimately jacked by car up on this part of the hitch and finally got the last bolt installed. …. All together, took me around .75-1hr to install. Biggest complication was my car’s internal mounting points seeming to slide upwards internally as soon as I took them all out at first. I did have the help of one person to get the hitch lifted up over the exhaust - but I got the rest done by myself. Overall, this hassle and $150 was still way better than paying >$500 for my dealer to do it. Would recommend.
Excellent website and customer service. It was easy to find my vehicle’s hitch components and understand the installation instructions.
Desiree and George, customer service, kept me informed took good care of me.
I’ll definitely return to etrailer in the future.
