Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2014 VW Passat 1.8L Turbro Wolfsburg Edition
Question:
Which trailer hitch is the best one for a 2014 Volkswagen Passat 1.8 liter turbo Wolfsburg Edition
asked by: Paul C
Expert Reply:
For your 2014 Volkswagen Passat 1.8L Turbo Wolfsburg, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24880. This is a bolt on installation hitch with a sturdy square tube design. The Draw-Tite Class I hitches do not require a stabilization strap like the Curt hitches do for accesories.
If you will be doing light towing with this hitch or want a lighted accessory, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118646. This is a harness that connects to your factory wiring with quick connects in your rear cargo area. This harness uses power drawn directly from your battery to protect your factory wiring from overload.
For a ball mount, I recommend the Sportframe Drawbar 5/8" Rise 2000 lbs Kit # 3590 that comes with a pin and clip. You will also want a hitch ball like # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch hitch ball.
