2015 VW Passat 1.8T Limited Trailer Hitch Recommendation

Question

Question:

Hello, Will part # C11232 fit my 2015 VW Passat 1.8T Limited? I called today and the gentleman said he would check with the manufacturer and after speaking to them said this was the only hitch that would fit my vehicle. I told him I would call back to order it so I could schedule a time for installation. I called back later to order the hitch and spoke to a lady. I explained I had called earlier and he had already checked with the manufacturer, but she said she would have to check with the manufacturer before ordering. After checking with them she said the only hitch that would fit is part #C11234. Im not sure which hitch to order. I have included the website with the vehicle information. Can you please advise which one I should order?

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
