  • Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver That Fits 2014 VW Passat TDI
  • While there is a 2 inch trailer hitch recevier that fits your 2014 Volkswagen Passat TDI, I checked with Curt and can verify the only one of their hitches that fits your Passat is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11234. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, but has a concealed crosstube so the only part of the hitch you see is the receiver, as you can see by the accompanying photo I added of this hitch on a 2014 Passat. As for a 2 inch hitch, there is one that fits, the...

  • 2 Inch EcoHitch On 2014 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen TDI for Thule Vertex Bike Rack
  • The EcoHitch part # 306-X7284 is a fit for the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI. This particular EcoHitch is not designed with a removable hitch receiver. The hitch receiver is built into the hitch but it is still a concealed cross tube design. The only thing that is visible on the TDI is the 2 inch hitch receiver opening tube once installed. There is some fascia trimming required for the hitch receiver opening to fit through. The weight capacity of the hitch is 300 lbs of tongue weight...

  • Will Universal MightyMounts Fit a Yakima LockJaw Bike Rack and VW Factory Roof Rack
  • The Universal MightyMounts # Y03590 will work with your Yakima LockJaw bike rack. The MightyMounts are designed to fit crossbars up to 4 inches wide and up to 1-1/2 inches tall. Bars that are either more than 4 inches wide or more than 1-1/2 inches tall will be too large for the MightyMounts. MightyMounts only come in a set of 4 so if you need 6 you will need 2 kits and you will have 2 spares should you need them in the future!

  • 2018 VW Atlas 7-Pin Round Vehicle Connector and Brake Controller for Use w/ a 6-Way Adapter
  • Thanks for the picture! It looks like your 2018 VW Atlas has been wired for a 7-way and has everything but the actual 7-way connector. To use the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Adapter - 7-Way to 6-Way, 5-Way or 4-Way item # HM47570 you will need the Hopkins Endurance Quick-Install 7-Way Trailer Connector item # HM40940. Both of these combined will give you a 6 pin round and a 4-pin flat connector. I have linked a review video that you will want to watch when connecting your...

  • Alternatives for Trailer Hitches That Do Not Allow for the Use of a Weight Distribution System
  • I do have ways to help with trailer sway and vehicle sag on your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan but none of the trailer hitch receivers they have for your vehicle are compatible with a weight distribution system. Load leveling is what Volkswagen calls what we refer to as weight distribution. A weight distribution system is never going to be required however, if the gross trailer weight (GTW) of your trailer is more than 50% of the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your vehicle, the use of...

  • Roof Rack Fit for 2013 Volkswagen Touareg With Roof Rails and Sun Roof
  • There is definitely a solution for you, though it could be that you have a sun roof and not a moon roof. This matters in terms of fit, because a moon roof slides into a cavity in the roof and does not extend above it, while a sun roof generally does extend above it. Due to this, the rack you mentioned, Rhino Rack # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX022, would not work for your 2013 Volkswagen Touareg because the rack should not be used with vehicles that have a sun roof. Additionally, each of the Yakima...

  • Can Volkswagen Touareg Use Weight Distribution When Towing
  • You will need to check your owners manual to see what the trailer towing capacity is for your Touareg. Many times the construction of a vehicle will restrict the amount of weight the vehicle can tow. I looked at a 2010 Touareg and the trailer hitch we have that is designed for the 2010 is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # 13220. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. A technical note states that you cannot use weight distribution with this hitch. You will want...

  • Will the Thule Hullavator Work with the Factory Crossbars of a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas
  • I have a possible solution for you. First, though, the factory crossbars on a 2019 Volkswagen Factory do not extend past the feet. The Hullavator, part # TH898, requires 4" - 8" extension past the feet, so you won't be able to use this. Instead, you'll have to use a kayak carrier that does not need an extension. I recommend the Malone DownLoader, part # MPG114MD. It's a J-styel carrier that is compatible with the Malone Telos XL Load Assist, part # MPG351XL. It's a load assist with...

  • Will Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack Work with Malone SteelTop Roof Rack on 2017 VW Tiguan
  • Yes, the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack will work great with the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack part # TH898 on a 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan. That said, I recommend going with the longer 65" crossbars part # MPG203 since you need more overhang for the Thule Hullavator.

  • What is the Ground Clearance with the Curt 1-1/4 Inch Hitch # C11000 on a 2011 VW GTI
  • The Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11000 on your 2011 Volkswagen GTI. It is located right under the rear fascia of your vehicle. It measures so that the top of the ball mount is approximately 8 inches from the ground as you can see on the attached installation video of a similar 2010 model. The ball mounts that are used with these hitches will always have to be used in the rise position. I am including a link to the Installation instructions of this hitch. The instructions will show...

  • Thule Roof Rack Recommendation for 2014 Volkswagen Jetta
  • The Thule Fit Kit for your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta no longer has a fit for the old style square crossbars. I recommend you upgrade to the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - 53" Long # TH711420, the Evo Clamp Feet # TH710501 and Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp # TH145016. This will give you the most updated system that will work extremely well with your vehicle and will be quieter than your previous all metal system. This rack will have the t-slot channels in the crossbars for clean mounting of...

  • Will Hollywood Racks Express Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan
  • The Hollywood Racks Express trunk mount bike rack # HRE3 is listed as a fit for your 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan. It does not have a glass hatch accessory requirement like Yakima trunk mount bike racks. An adapter bar, such as # 64005, is recommended but not required unless the bike has a step-through frame. If the adapter bar is not used the bike will be at an odd angle and can affect ground clearance. However, if your Tiguan has that top spoiler or trim piece at the top of the hatch then...

This harness will give you a 4-flat connector for use at the back of your vehicle. I have added links to a video review and install, as well as the instructions for you to take a look at.

  • What Hitch Fits My Non-AWD 2022 Volkswagen Taos?
  • Definitely! We have a great hitch that fits a non-AWD 2022 Volkswagen Taos. For that recommendation, I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C38JR. This hitch has a ton of advantages over the competitor Draw-Tite # DT79GR. First off, the Curt Hitch does not require and drilling to enlarge the bolt holes. Lastly, since the gloss overcoat over the base powder coat offers more protection than the Draw-Tite, you get more overall protection against rust and...

  • We do indeed offer a hitch fit for the 2012 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI Diesel. You'll want to go with the EcoHitch # 306-X7284. The hitch mounts behind the bumper cover, which conceals the entire hitch except for the receiver tube and the safety chain loops.

  • Will the SuperSprings Coil SumoSprings Fit a 2015 Volkswagen Passat TDI
  • The SuperSprings Coil SumoSprings, # CSS-1125, will fit your 2015 VW Passat TDI. You are correct that the Firestone airbag kit, # F4176, will not fit the TDI models, but based on the coil spring dimensions you provided in the attached diagram, these SumoSprings will work for you and help level the rear end of your Passat with the weight of the bike rack and bikes.

  • How to Use the Tekonsha Prodigy Brake Controller on a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas SEL
  • Yes, the Tekonsha Prodigy RF Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # TK94FR will work on your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas SEL as long as you have a 7-way trailer connector. If you do not already have a 7-way trailer connector then you are going to first need a 4-way trailer connector and then a 4 to 7-way trailer connector. For this, I recommend using the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118754 with the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller part # ETBC7. Please note that...
