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 Beetle (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 1,500 lbs. GTW and 150 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.

The CURT Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Receiver, Select Volkswagen Beetle Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK11354) fits the following vehicles: 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
Yes, the CURT Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Receiver, Select Volkswagen Beetle Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK11354) is designed to fit the 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle.
The CURT Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Receiver, Select Volkswagen Beetle Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK11354) fits 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle models. The 2019 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The CURT Class 1 Trailer Hitch, 1-1/4" Receiver, Select Volkswagen Beetle Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK11354) Drilling is not required for installation. Typical installation time is 30-60 minutes. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The CURT 11354 hitch fits 2012-current Volkswagen Beetle Convertible (all trim levels) and Volkswagen Beetle Hatchback with gas turbo engine only. It does not fit naturally aspirated (non-turbo) Beetle Hatchback models. Verify your engine type before purchasing.
The CURT 11354 is rated for a maximum of 1,500 lbs trailer weight and 150 lbs tongue weight as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Check your vehicle's owner manual for the final towing limit.
The CURT 11354 is designed for use with ball mount D-55001 or 45501. Euro mount options are available: part 45571 (1 7/8" ball) and part 45572 (2" ball). Purchase the ball mount separately.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to the CURT 11354 must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. Do not use the hitch for non-trailer loads without these straps.
Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, 18mm socket, 19mm socket, 3/4" socket, and 10" socket extension. Safety glasses must be worn at all times during installation.
No, drilling is not required. The CURT 11354 uses existing factory weldnuts and bolts on the frame rails, so no drilling, cutting, or welding is needed.
Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. You can reach CURT technical support at 877-287-8634.
1. Remove the existing bolt from both driver and passenger sides of the vehicle and retain it for reuse. 2. Reverse fishwire the 1/2"-13 x 1 1/2" carriage bolts and CM-SP17 spacers into the driver and passenger side frame rails. 3. Raise the hitch into position. 4. Secure the hitch with 1/2"-13 hex flange nuts onto the carriage bolts, then install the factory M12 bolts from step 1 through the hitch and into the existing vehicle weldnuts. 5. Torque all fasteners to specification.
Torque the 1/2"-13 hardware (carriage bolts and hex flange nuts) to 110 lb-ft. Torque the M12-1.50 factory bolts to 83 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench to ensure accuracy.
The kit includes: 2x CM-SP17 spacers (0.250 x 1.25 x 2.50" square hole), 2x 1/2"-13 UNC carriage bolts grade 8 (part 10-10287), 2x 1/2"-13 UNC serrated flange nuts grade 8 (part 20-00062), and 2x 1/2" fishwire. The factory M12 bolts are removed and reused; they are not included in the kit.
Reverse fishwire is a technique where you thread the 1/2"-13 x 1 1/2" carriage bolts and CM-SP17 spacers into the existing factory weldnuts on the frame rails from the reverse (back) side. This allows you to secure the hitch without drilling new holes. The fishwire (flexible wire) helps guide the bolts into the weldnuts.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This is especially important before towing. Retighten fasteners if any looseness is detected.
