Installation Instructions Notes:
I'm a complete novice at auto repair, but I had help from a friend with more experience. It took about 4 hours. You do need two people, particularly when mounting the bumper and trailer hitch components together. We didn't need to lift the rear of the car, though it might have been less claustrophobic has we done so. Still, most of the time was not spent under the car. No oil or grease at all, by the way.
The color photos in the online PDF installation manual are much better than the gray-scale images in the paper instructions that come with the product. Even still, I found that it was difficult to understand the photo orientation. Some directional arrows would have been helpful.
Step 1
a. There are only 12 screws, not 13.
b. Also, it was not possible to remove the panel after removing those screws. Fortunately it turned out to be unnecessary. Just leave it in place.
c. Notice the two "retainer-style fasteners". These are rectangular plastic receptacles with smaller screws (for which you will need a smaller torx bit). When you remove the screws, the receptacles will fall out as well - be careful not to lose these.
Step 2
a. Took me a while to understand what was the "black plastic taillight cover located next to the taillight." The cover is literally adjacent to the taillight, and roughly the same size as well. For reference, there's a small square panel in the middle of it which specifies what type of bulb to use.
b. The two push-clips on this panel are located alongside the taillight itself.
c. The "I pass gas (stations)" sticker is cute, but there wasn't one on my car.
Step 6
a. The instructions don't mention it, but position the tow-bar flange against the car body first, and the bumper flange on the outside. In other words, when you put the screws in they will pass through the bumper flange first, then the tow bar flange.
b. The instructions say something about bending the small bumper beam hang tabs. I didn't find any such tabs, and didn't need to bend them.
Step 7
a. As you reinstall the plastic wheel well trim (which was partially removed in Step 3), notice that the clips have a straight plastic flange alongside of them, to the lower or rear of the clip. Be sure to guide these flanges carefully into the metal hole, or else they will bend out of shape and prevent the clips from fitting properly. If they bend (which they did in my case), you can still straighten them with your fingers and they'll work fine.

My hitch arrived just 4 days after I ordered it and this was the week of Christmas! That was indicative of how well the install went. Following the written instructions and a[n online] video of another person installing a similar hitch, I had all the confidence and information to pull off the install. Amazingly straightforward. Just had to get over the fear of pulling and breaking the plastic trim on my brand new car. I didn't. The install went exactly as planned and took about 2 hours. It looks like it belongs on the car and I'm pleased with the fact that it sticks out only about 1/2 inch.

After a year I can say that I dont regret the choice at all. I added a decorative cover and when Im not hauling my bike, the cars look is only enhanced. Quality is top-notch with OEM fit and finish.

Added this to my 2021 VW ID.4 Pro-S RWD. Easy instructions and simple to install. Having an extra set of hands will be helpful when installing the hitch receiver under the crash bar.
by: John04/02/2022
This wasn't to tough of a job to do, however, I highly recommend two people to help with the job. I took a couple of pictures to maybe help some others out. Also there is a picture of a purple connector that is attached to the bumper that I would suggest disconnecting as well. Also, I did not remove the small plastic panel next to the rear tail lights as you can see in the one of the pictures. Great product and I would highly recommend!

Great fit on my 2021 VW ID.4. Discrete look with hitch entirely hidden except for receiver which comes through the factory opening the bottom of the bumper cover.

I've installed trailer hitches on 5 vehicles now and this one was the smoothest of them all. Very good instructions (the full color version on the website). I had two issues, one is takes a bit of finesse to hold the hitch and bumper while putting the bolts in due to the weight. An extra set of hands would come in handy here. Also, don't forget to hook the wiring back in behind the bumper covering before you put all the screws back in! Oops. :-)

Instructions were clear and easy to follow. The hitch fit perfectly, is made far more sturdy than my bike rack requirements. The installation took the approximate 2 hrs the instructions stated. The installation was completed with the car on the ground. .

Item is stout, weighs 30-40#. Installation went smoothly with instructions from website. Item arrived promptly. No problems. Would recommend highly.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2022 Volkswagen ID 4For your 2022 Volkswagen ID 4 I recommend checking out the: -Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR. This trailer hitch has a maximum weight capacity of a 3,000-lbs, a maximum tongue weight capacity of 300-lbs, and features a bolt on installation. It also should be noted that to install this hitch you are going to need to remove the fascia/bumper, and some trimming may be required to reattach the panel or fascia.
view full answer... - Will Curt Hitch Fit a 2023 Volkswagen ID 4Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR has been confirmed to fit the 2023 Volkswagen ID 4. If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be more than happy to make a recommendation for you! Attached are the installation instructions for you to check out.
view full answer... - Hitch Reducer for a 2021 Volkswagen ID 4 Curt HitchYou don't need an adapter to go down in size you need a reducer. A reducer also allows you to keep more of your tongue weight capacity at 300 lbs on your 2021 Volkswagen ID 4 and your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C47JR. I recommend the Brophy Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver item # HT02. This will take your 2" class III receiver down to a 1 1/4" to accommodate the class I and II bike racks without losing half the capacity of your class III like you would with an adapter.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver & Trailer Wiring Fit For 2021 Volkswagen ID 4We do have a wiring harness as well as a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2021 Volkswagen ID 4, which are the following part numbers: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR - Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236.
view full answer... - Selecting a Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2023 VW ID 4 You will need to check your 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 S Pro Plus to verify the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C57JR can be installed. I have linked the installation instructions below showing where the mounting plate is for the factory receiver this is designed to fit. If you do not have the factory receiver with the mounting plate the Curt Receiver # C47JR will be the one you need. Due to manufacturers having limited supplies you have to verify your vehicle since we can not be sure exactly...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed To Fit 2022 Volkswagen ID.4The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT84GR is currently the only receiver confirmed to fit on your 2022 Volkswagen ID.4. As of today 7/18/2022 the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR has not been confirmed by Curt to fit or not fit your ID.4. I do not see that there were any major changes to the chassis. The receiver simply hasn't been test fit for your vehicle, but once we or Curt is able to confirm it will fit we will update our information.
view full answer... - Selecting The Correct Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2023 VW ID 4It sounds like you do not have a receiver on your 2023 Volkswagen ID 4 which means you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR. The other Curt # C57JR is designed to bolt in place of the 1-1/4" factory receiver and gives you a 2" opening. I recommend installing the 4-Way # C59496 when you install the receiver. This is the connector commonly used on small trailers you may tow and will also allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you are using a hitch mounted accessory which impairs...
view full answer... - Is The Curt or Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receivers Easier to Install On a 2023 VW ID4? The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR and Draw-Tite # DT84GR are going to have the same difficulty to install on your 2023 Volkswagen ID4. Both of these will require removal of the rear fascia to place the receiver behind the bumper beam. Personally I prefer the Curt over the Draw-Tite as it has the quality of being made in the USA. Both installation instructions are linked below so you can see the installation steps.
view full answer... - Will 2021 Volkswagen ID 4 Trailer Hitch Void WarrantyNo, it won't void the warranty. When installing a hitch on a vehicle, like the Curt Trailer Hitch # C47JR on your 2021 Volkswagen ID 4, you are protected by the Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to your vehicle actually caused the problem in question. If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch...
view full answer... - What Is The Correct Trailer Hitch For My 2023 Volkswagen ID 4?I can definitely help and point you in the right direction. Right now we have 2 hitches available for the 2023 models. It will just depend on whether your vehicle has a factory hitch receiver or not. If you do have a factory hitch I recommend the Curt class 3 # C57JR. This is rated for 3,000 lbs towing and 300 tongue weight. This simply bolts on to the existing mounting plate using hardware already present on the vehicle. If you do not have a factory hitch you will want to go with part...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2023 Volkswagen ID.4Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR you're looking at will fit your 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 just fine. This hitch has a 300 lb tongue weight capacity, a 3,000 lb towing capacity, and will bolt to the frame with no welding required.
view full answer... - Which Hitch Is More Recessed for 2021 Volkswagen ID 4 the Curt or Draw TiteThe Curt hitch part # C47JR does not extend out nearly as much as the Draw Tite part # DT84GR that fits your 2021 Volkswagen ID 4. If you were looking for something more recessed you'd want the Curt.
view full answer... - Comparing Curt And Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receivers Installations For a 2021 Volkswagen ID 4I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT84GR as being the best receiver for your 2021 Volkswagen ID 4. It will be easier to install as you do not have to fully remove the bumper beam on your ID 4 like is required with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR. I also like the Draw-Tite receiver added the extra steel to the arms that connect the receiver to the cross tube. This will be much better at resisting any deflection of the receiver tube on your ID 4. Both...
view full answer... - Will Adding the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2023 VW ID.4 Activate The Rear Collision Sensors? The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR for your 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro RWD will not cause any issues with the rear collision sensors by itself. When you have attached a Bike Rack # TH903202, Cargo Carrier # C18151, or Ball Mount # C45554 for towing a trailer that would cause the rear sensors to detect objects and alert you. You can switch off this function to prevent the alarm from sounding when you are using the receiver.
view full answer... - Replacing Factory 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2" Receiver On 2021 VW ID 4 I reached out to Curt who informed me that you will need to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C57JR on your 2021 Volkswagen ID 4 Pro S 4wd that comes with the factory hitch. This will bolt in place of the 1-1/4" receiver and give you the 2" receiver you are wanting. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR is only for models that do not have the factory receiver. The wiring will come with the factory tow package you are getting.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for Bike Rack on 2023 Volkswagen ID.4For a hitch on your 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR. This hitch features a bolt-on installation and a gloss black powder coat finish. It also has a maximum tongue weight of 300 lbs which will be more than enough to handle your bikes. For a bike rack, check out the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. This has a carrying capacity of 4 bikes up to 35 lbs per bike. It also has a built-in anti-rattle, and a tilting mast so you can access the rear cargo...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2022 Audi Q4 e-tronHi Kami, The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR unfortunately isn't confirmed to fit a 2022 model but I do have an option that is confirmed to fit with the # SH62YR. If you ever do need to tow a trailer then you'll want to pick up the towing kit # SH72YR as well.

So you'll need to check the owner's manual of your ID.4 to verify if your vehicle has the towing capacity for a 2,500 lb boat and trailer.
view full answer... - Can The Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes Be used In A 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch ReceiverThe Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # Y02443-2 is far too heavy to be used in a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver. Yakima offers the Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # Y02458, which can fit in a 1-1/4" receiver tube and has a 40lb per bike capacity. If you want to stick with the # Y02443-2 then you would need to upgrade the trailer hitch. If you have a factory trailer hitch then the receiver tube can be replaced with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C57JR. If you had the 1-1/4"...

Its been absolutely fine, zero issues. I use this hitch to attach a bike rack, and I do have problems with that - it interferes with the backup camera, which on this car is difficult to turn off. When bikes are mounted its very hard to back up, as the auto-braking kicks in of the bikes so much as sway a quarter inch. But the hitch itself is fine.
