I am wondering what the measurement from the top of the hitch opening to the ground is for the Hidden Hitch on a 2023 VW Tiguan R Line. Thanks!

Hello Tim,
We have not had the pleasure of installing the Hidden Hitch by Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # DT62GR on a 2023 VW Tiguan so I do not have the exact measurement that you are looking for, in my research I found that while the exact measurement can vary slightly depending on factors like tire size, suspension, and load, for a 2023 VW Tiguan R-Line with factory ride height, the top of the 2" receiver on the # DT62GR hitch typically sits about 13 to 14" off the ground once installed.
Is that measurement going to work for you? Do you have a steep driveway or something where clearance is an issue?

Hi Kate, Thanks so much for the research. I don't have anywhere in particular where I am concerned with clearance. I am deciding between the e-trailer hitch for my Tiguan or the Hidden Hitch and thought if clearance was much improved I would go with the Hidden Hitch option. But, it looks like it's just an inch or two higher than the e-trailer option at 12" from the top of the hitch. I am primarily using the hitch for a Thule T2 bike rack and my last car had a measurement of 15" with the e-trailer hitch so I wanted to make sure that I still would have enough ground clearance with the new setup if I went with the e-trailer hitch and lost a little clearance. Do you have any recommendation for the clearance when using the T2 rack? Thank You so much!
