Does Draw Tite Hitch # 24880 Fit 2017 Volkswagen Passat SEL with Technology Package

Question:

Will this fit a 2017 Passat SEL with technology package? Also, will the wiring harness C79KR work with the led tail lights on the Passat?

Yes, the Draw Tite hitch part # 24880 that you referenced does fit your 2017 Volkswagen Passat SEL with the technology package. However, the hitch will interfere with the Hands-free Easy Open Trunk option and functionality may be very limited or possibly lost. You'll run into the same issue with the Curt and EcoHitch trailer hitches that fit your 2017 Passat SEL as well.

If you need trailer wiring you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # C79KR which is a confirmed fit and is also compatible with LED taillights.
