Those hitches were never supplied by VW. Most I have seen are made by Valley or Reese. They are rated for ~1,100 pounds. For a small trailer such as you describe, they will work fine. If you want a beefier hitch, I can help you there. Let me know if you are interested in a class three. Dennis

Had anyone used these to tow a small trailer ? I'm looking to tow a dirt bike, approx 215 lbs, using 6 x 10 approx. trailer. Your thoughts ? |
