2012-2021 Volkswagen Passat Class I, 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver

Class I hitches have the lowest Weight Carrying Gross Trailer Weight capacity rating and Tongue Weight of the hitch classes and are generally used for small trailers carrying a motorcycle, snowmobile, ATV, personal watercraft, small 'pop-up' style campers or small 'U-Haul' style trailers.

Class I hitches usually have a 1-1/4" square receiver opening and attach to your vehicle's bumper, trunk pan or frame.

Each vehicle, hitch, drawbar and ball mount have their own weight capacity ratings. Never tow more than the lowest capacity allowed for any of these components. Always consult your owner's manual for vehicle rating and hitch, drawbar and hitch ball manufacturer's instructions for maximum ratings.

Please note that class I trailer hitches are equipped with a dimple in the receiver tube to prevent the use of class II ball mounts, adapters and/or certain bike racks from being inserted. From the center of hitch pin hole to this dimple measures 1-5/8".
