Question:

Hello, I have a 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan and need a ball mount for it to go onto a Class III 2in hitch. I will be towing a trailer with a Jon boat on it. Do you sell one?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The ball mount you need will depend on the coupler height of your Jon boat trailer when it's jacked up so the frame sits level with the ground. The average trailer coupler height is usually between 16-18 inches.

When we installed the Curt # C13381 hitch on a 2019 VW Tiguan, we found that the inside top edge of the receiver sat 11-1/2 inches high. This means that a ball mount with 6 inches of rise like the Curt # C24WR would put you pretty close to the average trailer coupler height. For a trailer ball, use # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball. You'll also need a # PC3 hitch pin. For a trailer wiring harness, use # 118811.

I'll link to an article that shows how to measure for your coupler height so you get a ball mount that places the ball within an inch or two of keeping the ball at the correct height.
