Question:

2015 VW Touareg Hello Im wondering if for the above vehicle there are any issues with an after market hitch. My dealer tells me that the hitch and lighting had to be done at the factory as it couldnt be done afterward, at a cost of $2200. Thanks

For your 2015 Volkswagen Touareg we offer a hitch and wiring solution that would be MUCH less expensive than what the dealer wants to charge you.

For a hitch the Curt part # C13116 is a popular option that would work very well for you. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118668.
