I spoke with my contact at SeaSucker regarding the Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B you referenced, which is confirmed to fit your 2015 VW Beetle. He stated that the Monkey Bars will work well in the extremely cold conditions you described. They have many customers who use these bars for this type of application, whether during cold winters or for use with ski racks, etc, which will be taken up to high elevation, frigid environments.
The only difference when using the rack during cold... view full answer...
We always recommend that you consult your vehicle specific owners manual for flat towing considerations, the vehicle OEM will always be the final authority on how a vehicle they manufactured is to be towed, or not towed.
That being stated, most vehicles with a manual transmission can be flat towed. For your model year, the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle, the 2.0 liter engine is not recommended by VW but it appears the 2.5 liter is okay for many models, Again, consult the vehicle specific owners... view full answer...
If your 2013 Volkswagen Beetle convertible is a Gas Turbo or turbo diesel model then the Curt trailer hitch # C11354 will fit.
If you do decide on the Curt hitch then Curt recommends the use of a stabilization strap # 18050 for use with a bike rack for their warranty requirements.
For a bike rack, since all of the hitches are Class I hitches, you will need a rack that is Class I compatible and you are limited to carrying 2 bikes. The rack I recommend that fits the bill is the Swagman... view full answer...
Since there is not a trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit your 2015 Volkswagen Beetle TDI with the AdBlue tank installed you will need to go with a trunk mount or roof rack mounted bike rack.
I recommend the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH78VR as long as you do not have the panoramic sunroof. This bike rack will allow you to carry three bikes weighing up to 35lbs each and is confirmed to for your vehicle. I like the trunk rack options as they are a... view full answer...
Although neither of the hitches we offer for the 2015 VW Beetle are compatible with Diesel models with the AdBlue DEF tank, we do have options if you were needing the hitch to carry bikes.
If your Beetle is a hardtop model, the Thule Passage 2-bike model, # TH910XT or 3-bike model, # TH911XT would be a good choice for you. Either rack has a 35 lb per bike weight capacity. For bikes with top tubes that aren't level (like hybrid bikes) or women's bikes with step-through frames I'd recommend... view full answer...
The Furrion RV Stereo - Double DIN - HDMI, AUX/USB, Bluetooth, NFC, App Control # DV3300 is designed to fit the standard RV double din dimensions like what you'd have in your 2002 Winnebago Itasca so this would fit and work well. view full answer...
The best option for locking bikes to the NEO2 bike rack # B01748 is to use a cable lock such as # e98891. You would weave the cable around/through the bikes and then through the safety chain loops on the trailer hitch. This will also help deter theft of the rack itself. view full answer...
For your 2014 Volkswagen Beetle we have a rear seat mattress confirmed as a fit with the AirBedz # 341033 but we don't have anything that goes into the hatch area. The inflated dimensions are 55" long x 35-1/2" wide. view full answer...
I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11354 because we've found that the powder coating on the Curt hitches is a bit thicker; this is going to translate to a hitch that holds up to nicks and scratches a bit better over time. This hitch gives you a 1-1/4" receiver that's perfect for carrying a bike rack or the occasional light trailer tow and is a perfect choice for your 2015 VW Beetle with a diesel engine as long as it does not have the AdBlue... view full answer...
We do have a solution that would allow you to carry up to two bikes on your Beetle convertible, but after checking with all of our trunk mount bike rack vendors, I found that none of the trunk mount options we offer would be compatible with your TDI Convertible.
Your best bet would be to install the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11354 and then use a 2 bike rack like the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63360. If you're planning on carrying women's bikes or bikes with a sharply angled top tube,... view full answer...
The only option we have for you to carry two bikes on your 2017 Volkswagen Beetle would be with a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. The convertible top you have will not allow for the use of a roof rack or trunk mounted bike rack. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11354. With this hitch you will need to use a support strap like part # 18050. Please note that either hitch will not fit models with the newly redesigned Adblue diesel exhaust fluid... view full answer...
I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11354 for your 2018 VW Beetle. It will fit both the coupe and convertible trims. It has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs and trailer capacity of 2,000 lbs. Be sure to consult your VW dealer for the maximum capacities for your specific vehicle and use the lower of the 2 sets of numbers.

For your 2016 Volkswagen Beetle hardtop, gas turbo model I recommend Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C11354. This is a Class I trailer hitch rated to carry 2 bikes maximum.
I included a diagram that shows the hitch's position once installed. It will be right below the rear fascia/bumper.
For a bike rack I recommend the Swagman Trailhead, # S63360. It is compatible with Class I hitches, holds 2 bikes, and the rise in the shank will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video review... view full answer...
On your 1998 Volkswagen Beetle I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24679. This is a Class I 1-1/4 inch hitch that has a maximum tongue weight rating of 200 lbs. You will only be able to carry a maximum of two bikes on a Class I hitch. Since you are looking to only carry one bike this hitch will work fine for you. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Draw-Tite hitch.

We do have one E-bike rack that will work great for you. It's the Thule Easy Fold part # TH903202 which is a fit for the lower capacity hitches that fit your 2014 Volkswagen Beetle like the Curt # C11354 and is rated for the heavier electric bikes.
This rack also has a ramp built into it to make loading even easier. The rack does weigh 40 lb, but this is still pretty light considering the weight of most heavier duty platform bike racks.

For the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle convertible the only hitch I show listed as a fit is the Curt hitch # C11354 that you have referenced. We do not have a video yet of this specific vehicle but I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. As soon as we get one in we will make a video, that I can promise you.
If you plan on using this hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier Curt recommends the use of a stabilization strap # 18050 to take some of the stress off of the hitch.

The Curt # C11354 will fit your 2017 Beetle Convertible Turbo as long as it is not an R-Line models and it doesn't have an AdBlue DEF tank. Then you could use the very popular Swagman XTC # S64670. This would be the best affordable bike rack and hitch solution we have. You would also need a stabilizer strap # 18050 when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack The XTC is a really solid bike rack at a great price. view full answer...
Yes, we had a customer come back and say they tried to install the # C11354 on a 2018 Volkswagen Beetle coupe like yours and it fit and worked well. It is a fit for both the 2016 and 2018 Volkswagen Beetle as long as your car is not the R-line model and as long as it doesn't have the AdBlue DEF tank. view full answer...
