The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" item # C12177 will fit with your 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line. This hitch receiver fits all models of the Tiguan including the R-Line Black. The new R-line Black has more trim between the bumper and muffler that will need to be cut off or removed. I have attached a couple pictures of the trim that is going to need to be cut into. The hitch receiver will still sit underneath your Tiguan's Bumper. I have also attached an installation video.

If you are in need of a wiring harness I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118811. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in the rear cargo area.
