I spoke with my contact at Curt and while the two hitches certainly differ in their design, both the Curt #C11234 and the #C11232 are confirmed to fit your 2014 VW Passat 1.8 Turbo model. He did say that the #C11234 will be the better option for…

Curt trailer hitch #C11234 is listed as a fit for the 2014 Passat TDI with the 2.0 liter motor. I have linked a video showing installation and a link to the instructions. It is possible that the extra tank on the diesel may make installation a…

Yes, the Draw Tite hitch part #24880 is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Volkswagen Passat and would be a great choice for carrying a bike rack as it does not require a stabilizer strap like the Curt hitch does. The most popular bike rack we carry that…

The stabilizer strap like part #18050 is required by Curt on their lighter duty trailer hitches like the #C11234 you referenced when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a video that shows exactly how it is used typically. Since…

When we installed the Draw-Tite part #24880 on a 2015 Volkswagen Passat like yours we found that from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground it measured 10-1/4 inches. From the bottom of the hitch it would be right at 8-3/4 inches. If you do…
