A trailer hitch is a fabricated steel product that is typically mounted to the rear of a vehicle under the bumper. Each class is designed for a specific trailer weight range. When selecting the appropriate hitch, make sure the weight rating of the hitch is greater than the loaded weight of the trailer that will be towed. The tow vehicle capacity for weight carrying and hitch attachment will vary and will sometimes dictate the class of hitch that is needed. If you are using your hitch for attaching accessories such as bike racks, basket carriers, wheelchair lifts, etc., make sure the tongue weight of the hitch you select is greater than the loaded weight of the hitch mounted accessory. Always consult your Volkswagen owner's manual for your vehicle rating. |
Class 1 style hitches have a 2000 lbs. gross trailer towing weight and 200 lbs. tongue weight unless noted otherwise. Class 3 style hitches have a 3500 lbs. gross trailer towing weight and 500 lbs. tongue weight unless noted otherwise. |
