Expert Reply:
I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11354 for your 2016 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible. This is a Class I hitch with a receiver opening of 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" providing a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. Because it is not recommended to tow with the Volkswagen Beetle, there is limited receiver hitch options and recommended use should be limited to accessories such as lighter loads on cargo carriers and bike racks.
We have the Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches, # C18145. This is a basket-style cargo carrier with raised side rails that helps to keep cargo in place and provide multiple tie-down points.
