I need a trailer hitch and wiring for my 2019 VW Tiguan but it's an R-Line. Do you have these for my model?

Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C13381. The Curt Trailer Hitch is the only option for a Volkswagen Tiguan that does not require any trimming of the rear bumper fascia therefore you don't have to make any permanent modifications to a new vehicle. The Curt Trailer Hicth also has a hidden design so in addition to not requiring modifications it will also have a very clean install look which you can see in the attached photo.
The trailer wiring harness I recommend for a 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C56403 which is completely plug and play so again no permanent modifications need to be made.
I have attached sample install videos for you on both of the above items and as you can see, these are definitely things you can install yourself at home with just basic tools.
To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
