- Trailer Hitch Fit for 2013 Volkswagen Beetle TDI Convertible
- We do have a hitch that's a fit for the 2013 VW Beetle TDI Convertible, it's the Curt Class I part # C11354. The hitch is a fit for gas and TDI models. My Curt representative tells me that there aren't any other fit exceptions.
The Draw-Tite # 24877 you mentioned is only a fit for the gas coupe model. It won't fit a TDI convertible.

- I have good news for you, this combo would be a great fit for your vehicle.
By using the Curt Hitch # C11354, which is a custom fit hitch for your 2014 VW Convertible Beetle, the bike rack # S63360 will fit and be well within your 1-1/4 inch x 1-1/4 inch receivers weight rating. I see that you are doing exactly what Curt recommends in the instructions by using the support strap # 18050 which is needed when carrying any accessory with their hitch.

view full answer... - Will a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit on a 2012 Volkswagen Beetle with Rear Mounted Spoiler
- I do have a solution for carrying bike on your new Beetle. But first, I did some research on the 2012 VW New Beetle. All of the images I could find showed a spoiler that is below the rear window glass. In this location, a trunk mount bike rack will not fit because of the protrusion of the spoiler.
If the spoiler is above the rear window glass, then the straps will be applying pressure to the spoiler that it is not rated to handle and you will not be able to safely mount a trunk mount...

- The wide tapered fenders on your VW may make door-mount mirrors # 11650-2 from CIPA a better choice than the fender-mount type. The CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Mirror kit # 11650-2 will likely fit your car better and give you a better range of visibility. We also offer it as a single mirror as part # 11650.
And thanks for driving a Classic car from my childhood. Please feel free to send me a picture of your '68 Bug and we'll post it on our website!

- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11354 is a great option for the 2018 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo as long as it is not considered a R-Line model and/or has an AdBlue Def Tank. We have had customers successfully install the Draw-Tite hitch on their Turbo convertibles however, if it is considered R-line it will not be compatible. You can look in the owner's manual for your particular vehicle to see if it's considered R-line and if it has a tank for diesel exhaust fluid. If your vehicle is R-line...
view full answer... - Is There a Hitch Available for a 2014 R-Line Beetle Turbo Convertible?
- I contacted Curt and the # C11354 hitch may be a fit for your 2014 VW Beetle R-Line. The only exclusion will be for diesel models as they include an AdBlue Tank, which is the trade name for a type of diesel exhaust fluid.
With that being said, as long as your model does not have a diesel engine, you are good to go. If you do have a diesel model, there will not be a hitch currently available, unfortunately.
However, if you let me know what you were going to using the hitch for, I may be...

It does not have a specific pocket for the spoiler, but it does have the designed space necessary to accommodate covering it.

The Curt you referenced, product # C11354, is a great choice that I recommend. I've linked the installation guide for you.
This hitch will be able to accommodate almost any Class I bike rack you choose. I recommend the Inno Aero Light, product # INH620. It allows for 2 bikes and has a tilt function...

- The Reese 20 x 47 Cargo Carrier you'd looked at, part # 63155 is indeed compatible with a 1-1/4 inch Class I trailer hitch. The carrier itself has a 300 lb capacity, but you'll be limited by the 200 lb tongue weight capacity of the Class I hitch on your Beetle. This means that the 40 lb weight of the carrier plus the evenly distributed weight of the load placed upon it cannot exceed 200 lbs.
If you don't yet have a hitch for your 2019 VW Beetle, I'd recommend the Curt Class I hitch, part...
view full answer... - Will Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2013 Volkswagen Beetle with Rear Spoiler
- After reviewing some pictures of the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle with rear spoiler I am not optimistic that the Thule OutWay # TH45JV will fit. For a model with a spoiler you are going to want the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2. Its upper arm piece is designed to essentially bypass the spoiler. Hollywood Racks does indicate it as a fit for models with the spoiler.

- If your 1967 Volkswagen Beetle has a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver at the back then you could use Thule Camber bike carrier # TH9058.

- According to Blue Ox there isn't a baseplate kit that will work on non-turbo. We do offer a Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM-521237-1 that will be compatible with the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle.
If you currently have a Blue Ox Tow Bar you could use adapters # RM-032. If you don't already have a tow bar, I recommend the # RM-522, it will be compatible with this style of baseplate kit. If you need any of the other flat towing components I recommend the following.

- Yes the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 can be used on any vehicle with a powered 12 volt trailer connector.
The limiting factor is range. The Echo uses a Bluetooth connection these connections can easily cover over 40 ft. If for some reason there were to be interference something I really like about the Echo is that it doesn't just stop working if you lose signal or if your phone happens to die. It is designed to continue working at the last set of settings...

- I do have an option that will allow for you to use your 2017 Subaru Outback to flat tow a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle, however, none of the 1-1/4" to 2" hitch adapters are rated for towing applications. Instead, you will need to use a 2" hitch receiver like the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75673 as this has a 2" receiver tube opening.
You may also need a high low adapter depending on your application. In order to determine this, you will need to measure from the ground...

- According to my research the 2013 Volkswagen Beetle diesel came with either a 1.6L or a 2.0L turbo diesel. The Firestone Coil-Rite Rear Air Helper Springs Part # F4176 will not fit the turbo-equipped Beetle. However, we do offer a similar kit from Firestone that will fit the turbo-equipped 2013 Beetle, part # F4175.
This Firestone Coil-Rite kit includes all parts required for installation (with no drilling necessary) and allows for manual inflation of the air bags. If you wish, Firestone...
