However you define adventure, whether it's carrying a mountain bike on the back, hunting from a tree stand or camping with the family in the middle of nowhere, CURT class 1 hitches provide a lightweight towing receiver to help you get going. Each one is designed for a specific vehicle, for easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of small vehicle types, including compact cars, crossovers, minivans and small SUVs. This class 1 hitch is designed as a custom hitch for select years of the Audi A4, A4 Quattro, S4 and Volkswagen Passat (to confirm vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested to SAE J684, it offers a weight capacity of 2,000 lb GTW and 200 lb TW. It has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all the necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. It can also generally be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component, i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc.). Although CURT class 1 trailer hitches are intended for light-duty towing only, we apply the same quality principles as the rest of our rear hitches. Each class 1 hitch is built with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precision welding. We use a co-cured A-coat finish, inside and out, along with a durable black powder coat to provide long-lasting defence against rust, chips and UV rays.
