Class 1 trailer hitch, Volkswagen Beetle

Whatever your definition of adventure — whether it is hopping on the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping as a family in the middle of nowhere — CURT class 1 hitches offer a lightweight towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is designed to fit a specific vehicle, offering easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of small vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Volkswagen Beetle (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight capacity of 1,500 lbs GTW and 150 lbs TW. It features 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 necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is particularly useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They 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 only intended for lightweight towing, we apply the same quality principles as we do to the rest of our rear-mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is manufactured 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 defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
