On your 2017 VW Golf TSI the installed height from the ground to the top of the drawbar or the inside of the receiver tube is 9-1/2 inches n the Curt # C11412 trailer hitch. I've also attached a video of this installation to further assist.
For a ball mount on this hitch, I recommend the Curt # C45521 with hitch ball # A-82 or # A-80 along with hitch pin # F-4. Finally for trailer wiring I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118646.... view full answer...
If your 2016 Volkswagen Passat SE has a towing capacity it would be listed in the vehicle owner's manual. Volkswagen used to provide access to the owner's manuals online but now in order to view the manual online you have to put in a valid VIN for that vehicle. But your owner's manual would be the place to check for towing information.
If you decide to go with Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24880 the recommended ball mount is # 3590. For a compatible ball you can use # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch... view full answer...
Vehicle and roof rack weight ratings are static ratings but they will always have the safety margin necessary to account for the wind drag from items mounted on them.
What you want to ensure is that the total combined weight of your roof rack, the roof carrier and its contents all together remains within the vehicle's stated roof weight capacity. Generally roof rack makers rate their racks based on the capacity of the host vehicle's roof but it is still a good idea to check your owner's... view full answer...

I spoke with my contact at CURT regarding trailer hitch # 11090. What you can do is measure from the bottom of the vehicle frame straight down 8-1/2 inches. This is where the bottom of the receiver will be when the hitch is installed. So if you measure from that point to the ground (on level ground) that will give you the ground clearance measurement.
If you used a ball mount with a 5 inch rise and a ball that is 2 inches tall, add seven inches to get a general idea of where the top of... view full answer...
Sounds like you blew out the converter on the Hopkins item # HM11143720. These converter's are extremely sensitive to faults and surges from trailer wiring and tend to do crazy things when they are damaged. They don't offer a replacement part for this so I am sorry to say you will have to go with a completely new wiring harness.
The Hopkins item # HM11143720 harness is still available and it looks like you got quite a few years out of yours. You can chose to replace it with the same part... view full answer...
When the Curt hitch part # C11411 is installed on your 2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen it will end up being right underneath the lowest portion of your rear bumper.

A weight distribution hitch like the Fastway e2 system # FA92-00-1200 works over a range of trailer tongue weight (TW), usually a range of several hundred pounds. This particular system has an operating range of 800- to 1200-lbs of trailer tongue weight making it perfect for a total TW of about 1000-lbs. Based on the specs you mentioned if this is what you have it may well be over-rated for your trailer's actual loaded TW.
Do please note that the weight of any cargo in the tow vehicle... view full answer...

Your Jetta is going to be restricted to a Class I hitch. There are no Class II hitches available for your Jetta. And a dirt bike and carrier would exceed the weight rating of any Class I trailer hitch for the Volkswagen Jetta.
We do offer a few small trailers, for carrying mobility scooters/wheelchairs, motorcycles, kayaks, etc that might work for you. You can see them by clicking the provided link. view full answer...
With Curt trailer hitch # C11474 installed on your 2011 Volkswagen Jetta the distance from the ground to the bottom of the hitch will be approximately 9-1/2 inches give or take a fraction of an inch.
If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. I have linked the Class I compatible 2-bike... view full answer...
Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24949, which is one of the confirmed hitch fits on your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, can only be used with a compatible Class I rack of 2-bike capacity. Higher-capacity racks would be too heavy for this hitch and would exert too much stress on the hitch tube. This and all other Class I hitches are limited to a 2-bike carrying capacity.
There is a Class I-compatible Thule rack, the Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR, that will work in your Class I hitch, and this rack... view full answer...
I may have a solution for you, however there is not an adapter that will work for you without reducing the weight capacity. As you said any adapter will reduce the weight capacity by 50 percent making it not enough.
My best recommendation would be to check the tongue weight capacity of your 2016 Volkswagen Tiguan in the owner's manual if you haven't already. You need to make sure it can handle what is necessary because that will determine the maximum amount your vehicle will carry... view full answer...
The trailer hitch we offer for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf TSI with the best ground clearance is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7309 which fits right up to the bottom of the rear bumper fascia. It also does not have a crosstube that hangs down as low as the hitch opening like the other hitches have which means much better ground clearance when turning into elevation changes like driveways. It measures 11 inches from the top of the receiver opening to the ground. I attached a video for you to see this. view full answer...
