Expert Reply:
For a 2013 VW Passat sedan diesel, there is no drilling required to install Curt trailer hitch # C11234. I have included a link to the installation instructions so you can see what installation entails. There is some trimming required on an underbody panel and this is covered in the instructions as well.
This hitch comes with the appropriate ball mount, hitch pin, and clip. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 19256 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. For trailer wiring you can use # C56201KIT. I have included a link to the wiring instructions as well.
