Volkswagen Parts & Accessories
Volkswagen trailer hitch and wiring kits for the Tiguan, Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, Jetta, Golf, Passat, Touareg and ID.Buzz, built by CURT, Draw-Tite, Tekonsha and TorkLift. Nearly everything on this page is a receiver hitch or a plug-in harness: Class 1 and 2 hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver for the cars, Class 3 and 4 hitches with a 2 inch receiver for the SUVs and van, and Tekonsha T-One harnesses ending in a 4-way flat plug.
Every title carries the model years it fits, and product pages publish the vendor's fitment data. Absolute Autoguard stocks these in Winnipeg and ships across Canada, most within 7 to 10 business days.
Receiver hitches and trailer wiring that fit Volkswagen cars, SUVs and vans
CURT supplies more than half of this collection, Draw-Tite about a quarter, Tekonsha the wiring, and TorkLift the hidden EcoHitch line. The Tiguan has the deepest coverage, followed by the Jetta, Atlas, GTI, Passat and Golf, with single listings for the Taos, Arteon, Amarok and the 2025 ID.Buzz. Some hitches are listed as Audi and Volkswagen or Porsche and Volkswagen because the Touareg, Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne take the same receiver, and the Routan is a Chrysler Town and Country under the skin.

CURT receiver hitches
Class 1 hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver for the Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat and Beetle back to 1998, Class 3 hitches with a 2 inch receiver for the Tiguan, Atlas Cross Sport and Taos, and Class 3/4 hitches for the 2018 to 2020 Atlas.
Draw-Tite receiver hitches
Draw-Tite covers the same generations with its own bolt-on designs, including a Class 4 hitch for the 2018 to 2026 Atlas and a Class 3 for the 2025 to 2026 ID.Buzz.
Tekonsha T-One wiring harnesses
T-One harnesses plug into the factory taillight connectors and end in a 4-way flat. The ModuLite HD module powers the trailer lights from the battery instead of the car's lighting circuits. Listings cover the 2020 to 2025 Atlas Cross Sport, 2019 to 2021 Arteon and 2025 ID.Buzz.
TorkLift EcoHitch hidden hitches
The Stealth EcoHitch tucks the crosstube behind the bumper so only the receiver opening shows. Stainless steel versions are listed for the 2022 to 2026 Golf R and GTI and the 2025 to 2026 Tiguan. A Tekonsha 30A brake controller harness for 2004 to 2025 Audi, Porsche and Volkswagen models sits with the rest of the harness range under custom towing wiring.

Why buy Volkswagen hitches here
- Three hitch makers side by side. CURT, Draw-Tite and TorkLift are all listed for the current Tiguan, so you can compare a visible crosstube with a hidden one.
- Year ranges in every title. A 2009 to 2017 Tiguan and a 2018 to 2024 Tiguan take different hitches, and the titles say which is which.
- Canadian stock. Parts ship from Winnipeg, most within 7 to 10 business days.
Choosing the right Volkswagen hitch
Start with the model year, then decide what you tow. A bike rack or a small utility trailer sits fine on a 1-1/4 inch receiver. A tent trailer, a pair of sleds or a small boat calls for a 2 inch Class 3 receiver. Check the hitch rating on the product page against the tow rating in your owner's manual; the lower number is your limit. If you are not sure what fits, contact us with your year, make, model and configuration.
Common questions
What class of hitch does a Volkswagen Tiguan take?
The Tiguan is listed with Class 1/2, Class 3 and Class 3/4 hitches depending on generation. Take a 2 inch Class 3 to pull a trailer, or a 1-1/4 inch Class 1/2 for a bike rack only.
Do I need 4-flat or 7-way wiring on a Volkswagen?
A 4-way flat covers nearly every Volkswagen here; it runs the trailer's running, brake and turn lights. A 7-way is only needed when the trailer has electric brakes or a 12 volt charge line.
Do I need a brake controller for my Volkswagen?
Only if the trailer has electric brakes. Each province sets a trailer weight above which brakes are required, so check the rule where you live before buying a heavier trailer.
Will a hidden hitch fit a Golf R or GTI?
Yes. TorkLift lists a stainless steel Stealth EcoHitch for the 2022 to 2026 Golf R and GTI, with the receiver tube as the only visible part.
