Important Towing Capacity Considerations
*WARNING* It’s crucial to remember that your vehicle’s factory tow rating may be lower than the hitch’s maximum capacity. Always consult your 2018 VW Tiguan owner’s manual to determine your vehicle’s specific towing capacity and never exceed it. No aftermarket hitch can increase your vehicle’s factory-rated towing capacity. The EcoHitch® is built to be exceptionally strong, but its capacity is ultimately limited by your Tiguan’s capabilities.
PLEASE NOTE: ***While the EcoHitch® boasts high tongue weight and tow weight ratings, these are maximum potential ratings. Your vehicle’s actual towing capacity could be lower. Always prioritize your vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations. Additionally, using hitch extensions, adapters, or accessories can reduce your vehicle’s tongue weight capacity. Be sure to account for these reductions when loading your hitch.
In conclusion, the EcoHitch® 2018 Tiguan Hitch offers the perfect blend of hidden aesthetics, robust towing capability, easy installation, and lasting durability. Upgrade your 2018 VW Tiguan today and unlock its full potential for adventure and utility with the EcoHitch®.
