Yes, the Curt Hitch part # C11260 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2014 Volkswagen Beetle gas coupe as long as it is not turbocharged. There is no drilling required to install this hitch either. Draw Tite states that it should only take about 30 minutes to install this hitch.
The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled shank that would raise the bike rack up by three inches providing... view full answer...
The only option we have for you to carry two bikes on your 2017 Volkswagen Beetle would be with a trailer hitch and hitch mounted bike rack. The convertible top you have will not allow for the use of a roof rack or trunk mounted bike rack. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11354. With this hitch you will need to use a support strap like part # 18050. Please note that either hitch will not fit models with the newly redesigned Adblue diesel exhaust fluid... view full answer...
We do have a solution that would allow you to carry up to two bikes on your Beetle convertible, but after checking with all of our trunk mount bike rack vendors, I found that none of the trunk mount options we offer would be compatible with your TDI Convertible.
Your best bet would be to install the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11354 and then use a 2 bike rack like the Swagman Trailhead, part # S63360. If you're planning on carrying women's bikes or bikes with a sharply angled top tube,... view full answer...
The Curt Hitch part # C11354 has been confirmed to fit both the convertible and turbo gas models of your 2013 Volkswagen Beetle so it would work well for you.
The correct ball mount would be part # C45521, for a 1-7/8 inch ball part # 19256, and for a 2 inch ball # 19258.
For trailer wiring you would want a # C59496. view full answer...
You want the Curt, part # C11354, for your convertible 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. The other hitch you mentioned, part # C11260, fits the coupe model but not your convertible.
If you plan to use the hitch to carry a cargo carrier, bike rack, or some other non-trailer accessory you also need to use a support strap, part # 18050, in order to be compliant with Curt's warranty.
If instead you'll be towing a trailer with your Beetle, you don't need the strap but do need the recommend ball mount,... view full answer...
Unfortunately, there is no available trunk mounted rack for a 2014 Volkswagen Beetle with a panoramic roof.
Your best option is to use a SeaSucker brand roof rack such as the Talon, part # 298-BT1004. This attaches to the roof using vacuum cups. This will require that the bikes you use are equipped with a removable front wheel and fork. A wheel-mount only option is available as a trike rack, part # 298-BD1005.
Another option is to install a trailer hitch to your vehicle. I recommend... view full answer...
The # 1214-2 base plate kit is the correct kit for your 1978 Super Beetle convertible.
To flat tow your Beetle, you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution and in most states, a supplemental braking system.
Let me know which tow bar you have to make sure it's compatible with the base plates. If it doesn't include safety cables you can use # RM-643.
There are several different lighting options for you, I have linked you to our FAQ article that shows the different... view full answer...
For your 2012 Volkswagen Beetle there are no roof rack fits listed by any of our manufacturers. This is most likely due to the shape of the roof of the vehicle.
The best recommendation I can make is to go with a hitch like part # 24877 which has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and then use a hitch mounted bike rack and cargo carrier.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive... view full answer...
If your 2013 Volkswagen Beetle convertible is a Gas Turbo or turbo diesel model then the Curt trailer hitch # C11354 will fit.
If you do decide on the Curt hitch then Curt recommends the use of a stabilization strap # 18050 for use with a bike rack for their warranty requirements.
For a bike rack, since all of the hitches are Class I hitches, you will need a rack that is Class I compatible and you are limited to carrying 2 bikes. The rack I recommend that fits the bill is the Swagman... view full answer...
The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier, Item # TH910XT, will not work with your convertible 2017 VW Beetle and will only work with a hardtop without a panoramic roof.
To have a bike rack, your best option is to add a hitch specially designed for your car. The Curt Class I Hitch, Item # C11354, is designed for your convertible and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver so that you could carry a hitch bike rack.
The Swagman XC 2-Bike Platform Style, Item # S64650, is a solid 2 bike rack that secures your... view full answer...
Since there is not a trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit your 2015 Volkswagen Beetle TDI with the AdBlue tank installed you will need to go with a trunk mount or roof rack mounted bike rack.
I recommend the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH78VR as long as you do not have the panoramic sunroof. This bike rack will allow you to carry three bikes weighing up to 35lbs each and is confirmed to for your vehicle. I like the trunk rack options as they are a... view full answer...
The Swagman Semi 2.0, # S64686, would be a good option for your woman's style bike. The ratcheting clamp will mount and secure you r bike's wheel to the bike rack. You will not need a bike frame adapter because the Swagman does not use the bike's frame as an attachment point.
However, this platform style rack can weigh a lot and put stress on the rear of your Beetle. The issue is you need to know your tongue weight to see how much weight is allowed on the rear of your VW Beetle.

Surco makes a Safari basket that is designed to fit on side rails. There are a couple of different models that clamp to raised side rails depending on the vehicle. I have included a link to them for you.
These baskets are designed for larger vehicles such as SUVs and could be too large for cars. In that scenario you would want to install a roof rack and then choose a compatible basket.
If you have a 2014 Volkswagen Beetle though there are no roof rack options. So what you could do instead... view full answer...
For a trailer hitch I recommend Curt hitch # C11354 for your 2012 VW Beetle coupe with the gasoline turbo motor. The hitch does not come with anything extra you will not need and it doesn't have additional requirements to use a non-trailer load like the other hitches.
For a cargo carrier for your scooter you will need one that is compatible with a Class I trailer hitch. Without knowing anything about the scooter it's hard to say which size would work but I am guessing that the scooter... view full answer...
For your Beetle Convertible, I would recommend the Curt Class I receiver hitch, part # C11354.
Either the XC, part # S64650 or the XTC-2, part # S64670 would work just fine on your Beetle. If I personally had to choose between the two, I would choose the XTC-2, because of its more robust wheel hoops. The rack includes an anti-rattle hitch pin, but the optional anti-rattle hitch lock/cable lock combo, part # S64031 is highly recommended to deter theft.
Both racks are compatible with Class... view full answer...
There is one trailer hitch that will fit your 2013 Volkswagen Beetle convertible and it is Curt hitch # C11354. I an not sure what 10 inch extension tube you would need. The receiver is not recessed 10 inches under the car, it is pretty much right at the back.
If you were to use Thule rack # TH9045 then you will not have to tilt the bike at all since this rack holds the bikes at the wheels. Not to mention is measures 18 inches from the hitch pin hole to the nearest bike carrier rail.

For your 2014 Volkswagen Beetle we have a rear seat mattress confirmed as a fit with the AirBedz # 341033 but we don't have anything that goes into the hatch area. The inflated dimensions are 55" long x 35-1/2" wide. view full answer...
Class I means that you can only use bike racks that are class I compatible. Accessories requiring a higher class will fit in a class I hitch but is not recommended to be used with them. One other thing with class I hitch receivers like # C11354 is that you cannot carry more than 2 bikes at a time. Since your only options are class I hitches for your 2019 Volkswagen Beetle, we need to find a class I compatible rack that will carry two bikes at the most.

For your 2017 VW Beetle, we have the Curt trailer hitch Curt # C11354, but will NOT work on the R-Line versions nor on the diesel model with the new DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) tank.
Since both hitches offer the same capacity I suggest the Draw-Tite # 24922 since it does not require you to use a support strap # 18050 which is required with the Curt hitch to retain your hitch warranty coverage.
In your new Class I hitch you can use a 2-bike Class I-compatible bike carrier such as one of... view full answer...
