I personally like the Yakima roof rack systems over the Rhino-Rack roof racks because they are a higher quality, you don't have to cut the rubber strip in the top for T-Slot accessories, and Yakima has adjustments in the leg kits that help to fine-tune their fits. With that being said, if you like the look of the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack # RR72MR a little more for your 2015 Volkswagen Passat SE then there is absolutely nothing wrong with going that route and you will be happy with the... view full answer...
Thank you for your purchase and for your return business! The Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24880 for your 2015 Volkswagen Passat is a Class I hitch. This means that the bike rack you use will need to be rated for use with a Class I hitch and it is limited to 2 bikes.
The most popular compatible bike rack for owner's of the 2015 Passat is the Kuat Transfer # KU74FR. This is a platform style rack that holds the bikes at the wheels. The U-shaped frame makes loading and unloading the bikes easier,... view full answer...
It shouldn't be a problem, but you first need to consult the owner's manual of your 2004 Volkswagen Passat to determine what the towing capacities are for your vehicle. As long as you stay under those capacities with your small trailer and moped you should be fine. If there are any restrictions on towing with your vehicle they will be listed here as well.
First you will want to start with a hitch, for that I would recommend the Curt part # 11164. This hitch has a 2,000 lb trailer capacity... view full answer...
Yes, if you added a 4-way to the 7-way trailer wiring of your tow vehicle you could use the Hopkins magnetic tow lights part # C6304 that you referenced and the tow dolly taillights will still function as well. To easily add a 4-way you could use the part # 118384 which will plug inline with your 7-way. view full answer...

Since your 2001 Volkswagen Passat is a front wheel drive version the correct Curt trailer hitch you'd need is actually the # C11054. For a ball mount you'd have to use the part # C45521 and then for wiring # C59236 that you referenced. view full answer...
The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2014 Volkswagen Passat 2.5L is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11232. This trailer hitch has a class I rating with 1-1/4" opening. It works great for towing or hitch mounted accessories. In order to add wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56374. This is a plug-in-play kit with no splcining.
In order to complete your setup you'll also need the following:
Curt Drawbar part # C45520

I recommend using the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, item # 11352, over the Draw-Tite Class I Sportframe Trailer Hitch, item # 24796, on the 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid, because the Curt hitch uses existing holes in the vehicles frame rail to install the hitch and does not require drilling into the bottom of the vehicles trunk pan. With the Curt hitch, drilling is required but you do not have to drill into the inside of the vehicle trunk which would leave the potential for water to enter into... view full answer...
Yes, we do have trunk, or rear hatch, mount bike racks for the 2009 Volkswagen Passat Wagon. I have included a link to the 2-bike racks listed as a fit.
A popular option is the Thule Passage # TH910XT. I have included a link to a video review and a link to the instructions for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across, I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and provide... view full answer...
The double bonded wire of the Wiring Kit for 2, 4, 6, and 8 Brake Electric Trailer Brake Controllers # 5506 that you referenced carries two circuits to the battery of the vehicle for installing the brake controller.

I do have an option to carry your 74.3lb Rad E-Bike with your 2013 Volkswagen Passat, but you the only trailer hitch receiver compatible with a bike rack rated high enough is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7317 so first things first you will need to install this hitch. At this time this is the only trailer hitch receiver available for your vehicle that is not a class I hitch, and since there are no class I compatible bike racks with a 70+lb bike that... view full answer...
First lets start with a roof rack for your 2012 Volkswagen Passat. For that the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # DK323 and RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA that you referenced would be a great choice. This rack will work well and won't break the bank. The rack itself has a capacity of 165 lbs, but you will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to be sure it has the roof capacity for the weight of your kayaks.
For a kayak carrier I would recommend the Thule Stacker part # TH830. This... view full answer...
The roof rack designed to fit your 2014 Volkswagen Passat has three numbers because some of the components are used in roof rack systems for other vehicles. one or two of the components can be used for several different models.
The Rhino Rack system you referenced features the Vortex Aero crossbars part # RRVA126B-2, the 2500 series leg kit, part # RRRLKVA, and the custom pads and clamps, part # DK323. I have attached a link to a product review for this roof rack system you can check... view full answer...
Everything I looked up for your vehicle says that it has to be towed on a tow dolly and can't be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. We do have a tow dolly that would work well though.
For that you would want the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 as long as your wheels are smaller than 17 inch diameter which would work great as it comes with brakes, ramps and taillights. view full answer...
Currently the only base plate kit available for the 2015 Volkswagen Passat is the Blue Ox base plate part # BX3833. To use this base plate with your Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar # RM-522 all you need is the correct adapter. For that you would want the part # BX88151 and you would be good to go.

The bike rack I recommend for your 2006 Volkswagen Passat is the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack # TH56BV. It comes with all the integrated locking features to keep your bikes and the rack itself secure to your vehicle. The OutWay is the easiest and fasted to install. This rack is rated for bikes up to 33 lbs each. I have attached a product review video for this bike rack you can check out.

I do have a great option for you, however the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7317 that you referenced is not confirmed to fit the GT model of your 2018 VW Passat.
We have reached out to Curt though in the past and were able to verify that their Class I Trailer Hitch # C11234 will fit this vehicle perfectly. Like the EcoHitch model you were looking at, this hitch features a nice hidden-crosstube design that allows only the receiver to be visible behind the VW (see attached images).

To carry a 4 bike rack with your 2016 Volkswagen Passat R-Line you would need a hitch with a 2 inch opening like the EcoHitch # 306-X7317. Then for a 4 bike platform rack the Hollywood Racks Destination # HR4000 that you referenced would be a great and lighter weight rack solution. It's easy to load and holds the bikes very securely as well. view full answer...
If you do not have a 4-way connector on your Passat that is the first thing you will need. I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56374. This is a custom harness that allows you to quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your Volkswagen Passat. This T-Connector plugs directly into your existing wiring. Powered converter reduces strain on wiring system and is made using SMT to ensure superior performance.
