However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller 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 Golf R (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 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 especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically 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). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)
Includes installation hardware

The 2015-2019 Volkswagen Golf R All Class 1 Hitch, 1-1/4" Receiver + 2" Ball + 1-7/8" Ball Kit (Part #CHD-11564-001) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, CURT part number 11564 is designed for the Volkswagen Golf R. This is a receiver hitch that mounts to the vehicle's rear bumper beam and vehicle structure using existing weldnuts.
The manual lists gross load capacity and tongue weight specifications on page 1, but the specific values are blank in this document. Contact CURT Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 or visit www.curtmfg.com for the exact capacity ratings. Always verify that your vehicle's towing capacity is not exceeded.
Non-trailer (wheel-less) loads can be applied to this hitch only if they are supported by CURT stabilizing straps part number 18050. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
Yes, the blind spot sensors must be temporarily removed during installation. They are reinstalled after the hitch and bumper beam are mounted. The driver's side sensor is secured with supplied M8 bolts and washers, while the passenger's side sensor is secured using cable ties looped through the sensor mounting holes and the bumper beam.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing weldnuts on the vehicle structure for attachment. The installation does require temporary removal and trimming of the bumper fascia, but no holes need to be drilled into the vehicle.
Required tools are: ratchet, 10mm and 13mm sockets, 6-inch socket extension, torque wrench, 10mm open-end wrench, tape measure, marker, utility knife, T15 and T25 Torx bits, fascia removal tools, and safety glasses.
The following must be temporarily removed: bumper fascia, blind spot sensors, and bumper beam. The fascia is removed by first taking out plastic screws and clips from the wheel wells and rear wheel well liners using T15 and T25 Torx bits, disconnecting taillights and wiring, then using panel removal tools. The bumper beam is held by 5 bolts to the vehicle structure.
The hitch includes 7 M8x1.25 hex head cap screws (HHCS) grade 8.8, 7 lock washers (5/16 inch), 7 flat washers (5/16 inch zinc), and 2 cable ties (14 inch). These fasteners are used to attach the hitch to the vehicle structure and to secure the blind spot sensors.
The driver's side sensor is secured with 2 supplied M8 bolts, lock washers, and flat washers. The passenger's side sensor is secured using the original hex nuts saved from bumper beam removal, plus supplied cable ties looped through the 2 mounting holes on the sensor and the bumper beam to provide additional security.
All M8 hardware (bolts, lock washers, and flat washers) must be torqued to 16 lb-ft.
Yes, the bumper fascia must be trimmed to fit around the installed hitch. The manual specifies trim dimensions of 3.500 inches on the passenger side and 2.500 inches on the vehicle side. Use a tape measure, marker, and utility knife to trim according to the image provided in the manual.
No. The 5 original bolts holding the bumper beam to the vehicle structure are removed and not reused. The supplied M8 bolts with lock washers and flat washers are used instead. The 2 hex nuts from the original bumper beam bolts are saved and reused to reinstall the blind spot sensors.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a retorque interval, so contact CURT Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for guidance on maintenance schedules.
