Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2006 VW Beetle TDI
Question:
I want to buy 24679 Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4inch - 24679 for my 2006 VW Beetle TDI but my trailer accepts a 2inch ball. Can I simply put a 2inch ball to replace the 1 1/4inch ball?

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24679 is a confirmed fit for your 2006 VW New Beetle TDI. I recommend the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitch # 3593 along with the 2" Hitch Ball # 19258 to match your trailer coupler.
I recommend the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit with 4-Pole Connector (Includes Tester) # 119178KIT for your TDI trailer wiring. This will give you a 4-way flat trailer connection.
