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 and GTI (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.

Yes, the CURT 11412 Class 1 hitch is designed to fit 2015-2021 Volkswagen Golf models, so your 2018 Golf is covered. This custom-engineered hitch offers a 2,000 lb weight carrying capacity with a 200 lb tongue weight rating and comes with all necessary installation hardware.
The CURT 11412 fits 2015-2021 Volkswagen Golf models, so unfortunately it won't work on your 2026 Golf. However, it does fit 2015-2026 Volkswagen GTI models if you happen to have the GTI version instead.
The CURT 11412 fits 2015-2021 Volkswagen Golf and 2015-2026 Volkswagen GTI models. This custom-designed hitch provides a perfect fit for these specific years and includes a 1-1/4 inch receiver tube opening for your towing accessories.
This CURT 11412 hitch is rated as a novice-level installation that typically takes about 30 minutes to complete. The vehicle-specific design makes it easier to install with a better fit, and all mounting hardware is included in the box.
Yes, CURT hitch 11412 is designed for Volkswagen Golf GTI (excluding R) in hatchback style, model years 2015-present. Confirm your vehicle matches these specifications before purchasing.
Yes, CURT 11412 fits the Audi A3 Sportback E-Tron (hatchback style) in model years 2017-present. The manual also references A3 E-Tron compatibility on page 1, though the detailed specifications on page 2 specify the A3 Sportback E-Tron variant.
No. CURT 11412 is designed for Volkswagen Golf and GTI, but explicitly excludes the Golf R model.
CURT 11412 has a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
CURT 11412 is designed for use with ballmount #45521. A Euro mount option is also available: #45571 (1 7/8" ball) or #45572 (2" ball).
You will need: ratchet, 9" extension, 13mm socket, 3/4" socket, and torque wrench. Safety glasses should be worn at all times during installation.
The kit includes: 4× 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 carriage bolts (part 10-10288), 4× 0.250 x 1.00 x 2.50" square hole spacers (CM-SP10), 4× 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 serrated flange nuts (20-00062), and 4× 1/2" fishwire (1_2 FISHWIRE).
No. CURT 11412 requires no drilling. The hitch uses existing access holes in the driver and passenger side frame rails.
Two people may be required to ease installation, though the manual does not state this is mandatory. If you are hesitant to undertake the task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for assistance.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to temporarily lower the exhaust by removing the M8 bolts from the two rear exhaust hangers using a 13mm socket. Save these bolts for reinstallation in Step 5 after the hitch is secured.
Fishwire is a temporary installation aid included in the kit (4× 1/2" fishwire). In Step 2, you thread the 1/2" carriage bolts and SP10 spacers through the access holes in the driver and passenger side frame rails using the fishwire. In Step 3, you reverse the fishwire bolts and spacers into position, leaving the fishwires attached. In Step 4, you remove the fishwires after raising the hitch into position.
All 1/2" hardware (carriage bolts and flange nuts) must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. This is done in Step 5 after the hitch is raised into position and loosely secured.
All non-trailer loads (wheel-less loads) applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. See the CURT catalog or www.curtmfg.com for further information on stabilizing straps.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Although CURT 11412 is rated for 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, your vehicle's manufacturer may specify a lower limit. Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's guidance.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify an interval, but recommends this as an ongoing maintenance practice.
