asked by: Steve C
Expert Reply:
According to Curt, their # C11354 class I trailer hitch is indeed a fit for the 2013 VW Beetle Convertible Turbo Diesel.
If you'll be using the hitch as a mounting point for a bike rack or cargo carrying tray, Curt's warranty stipulates that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 needs to be used for all non-trailer loads.
If you'll be using the hitch for light-duty towing, you'll also need the following:
Trailer wiring harness, part # C56380
Ball mount, part # C45521
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256
2 inch trailer ball, part # 19258
Locking hitch pin, part # e98879
