I spoke with my contact at Curt and he said that the Class III Trailer Hitch # 13217 referenced in your question, along with all of their trailer hitches, are tested and rated to SAE J684 standards. This is recognized and accepted by many European countries but there are some that do not. Basically if the country where you reside recognizes these standards then the hitch will be perfectly legal to use.
I simply recommend checking with local authorities to see if the SAE J684 standards... view full answer...
We do have photos for you to check out of a Volkswagen Tiguan with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT53GR.
I have added photos for you below of a Tiguan with the # # DT53GR, and as you can see the hitch is concealed with only the receiver showing, which is great because it allows your Tiguan is going to maintain its appearance.
Along with the hitch, if you plan on doing some towing with your 2019 Tiguan and need a 4-flat trailer wiring harness, the correct fit is the T-Connector... view full answer...
The short answer is no, adding a trailer hitch receiver to your 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI will not void your warranty because you are protected by what is called the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. This act says if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever you have added to your vehicle or its installation actually caused the problem in question.

I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76176 for your 2021.5 Volkswagen Atlas SELP. We have installed both the Draw-Tite and Curt # C24ER in our shop and found the Draw-Tite was 1/2" higher at 13-1/2" to the inside top of the receiver.
I know you mentioned not needing lighting but I am going to strongly encourage installing the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118754. This will allow you to use Auxiliary Lighting # C53201 in the event your bikes or luggage impair the... view full answer...
The Malone MicroSport Trailer part # MPG460G comes with all of the necessary related documents that will be needed to register the trailer. Once you obtain these documents you will want to take them with you to your local department of motor vehicles (DMV) to register the trailer. If you are looking for specific information on towing a trailer in NJ then you would need to contact your local Department of Transportation (DOT). view full answer...
Yes, a weight distribution system like the Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System part # C17499 will add stress to both the trailer and vehicle frame. That said, this stress is not usually enough to cause damage. The only exceptions to this would be aluminum frame trailers. There are also some vehicles which restrict the use of a weight distribution system due to this stress which are usually unibodies. This info can be found in the owner's manual.
I have attached a full list of our... view full answer...
The owner's manual for a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas does say not to use a "weight distributing or load equalizing hitch" and this is strictly a Volkswagen stance. It also says things like "when you are not towing, remove the trailer hitch" (which, frankly, is absurd) and to remove the ball mount to reduce the risk of injury to pedestrians (which would be the first ball mount related injury I can think of). This likely has more to do with Volkswagen and their reputation for safety; weight distribution... view full answer...

To be able to use the cigar lighter power outlet in the back of your 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan it and all the components used with it must be rated for at least 15 amps of power. If all them are rated for at least 15 amps then yes you will be able to attach the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118811 power supply to the outlet.
Do understand that you will still want to use the inline fuse to protect the powered module. Also if the outlet only fed power when the ignition circuit is... view full answer...
No, installing a trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C38JR you were looking at will not void the warranty you have on your 2022 Volkswagen Taos.
The only way that this part or any aftermarket part may void your warranty is if a problem comes up and it is determined that the part added was the reason for the problem. view full answer...
Yes, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7284 does indeed have a 2" receiver tube opening contrary to how it may look in the attached photo. EcoHitch is known for making 2" trailer hitch receivers for some of the more compact cars like your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. view full answer...
The # CSS-1094R Coil SumoSprings helper spring would indeed help reduce some of the minor sag caused by the tongue weight of a trailer being applied to the rear suspension of your Touareg. The product mounts in between the coils of your existing rear springs to provide additional support and dampening. They will also help reduce body roll experienced in turns. This is the only helper spring option we offer for your 2015 VW Touareg.
I'll link to a video that explains more about the Coil... view full answer...
The Curt Class I, part # C11412 will not have the stop punched or welded into the receiver tube to prevent higher capacity Class II accessories from being used. However, overloading the hitch can cause the receiver tube to bend or the hitch attachment points to the vehicle to fail. This being said, only a Class I rated accessory should be used in a Class I hitch. This Curt hitch # C11412 is compatible with a 2015 Golf, unless it's a TDI or a Gasoline R model. view full answer...
Either rack would likely interfere with the camera to a degree, as the camera sits at the top of the license plate, but because the Transfer's frame is U-shaped with only the arms that hold the bike wheels in place going across, they will interfere much less than those of the Sherpa # SH22G would. The Sherpa is a more traditional design with a central rib and transverse mounted rails that the bikes would sit on. These structures would be much more likely to interfere with the camera.

If you want to install the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # DT84GR on your 2021 VW ID 4 that is perfectly fine and will not void your warranty.
There is a Warranty Act that allows after market parts to be installed on vehicles without voiding warranties. It can be voided only if the item itself or the act of installing the item causes the issue/problem.
So if you install the hitch receiver and a month later your transmission drops out, you will... view full answer...
I can tell you how to determine what city water inlet valve will work for your 1995 Rialta, but there aren't any specific fits available and we wouldn't have any way of knowing the dimensions required to fit. So instead you'll just need to measure the cutout dimensions you have, and if you want a surface or recessed mount.
For example, the RV City Water Inlet with Brass Check Valve - 1/2" FPT - Metal Flange - Surface Mount # 37262155 fits a 1-1/2" diameter cutout while the RV City Water... view full answer...
Minus the packaging, the Demco # DM62VR Hydraulic Brake Actuating Coupler weighs about 18 lbs. The coupler is compatible with trailers weighing up to 7000 lbs with disc brakes. The coupler fits a 2 inch trailer ball, and is equipped with an electric lockout solenoid that will prevent the brakes from engaging when the tow vehicle is shifted into reverse, assuming that the coupler is installed correctly and the center pin of the 7-way on the tow vehicle is tied into the reverse lamp circuit.
