Recommended Ball Mount and Hitch Ball for Curt Trailer Hitch on 2005 VW Passat
Question:

asked by: Gerry
Expert Reply:
The recommended ball mount for the Curt trailer hitch # C11054 that fits your 2005 VW Passat is the Curt Drawbar # C45521.
For a hitch ball that fits you will need either 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # A-80 or 2" Hitch Ball # A-82, depending on the size of your trailer's coupler; you will also need Pin and Clip # F-4 to secure the ball mount to your Passat's hitch.
To add wiring which will give your VW a 4-way connector and allow you to power your trailer's lights you need Wiring Harness # C59496.
I have added photo showing how this hitch will look when installed on an '05 Passat as well as a link to an installation video of the hitch for you to check out.
