The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar, item # 11076, is for vehicles with 4Motion only. All of the hitches we sell come with all of the mounting hardware necessary for installation. You will have to supply any tools needed for the installation.

For your 2004 VW Passat without 4Motion you will need a hitch that fits vehicles without the 4Motion option. The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar, item # 11054, is the correct fit for your vehicle and comes with the Drawbar Pin and Clip, this hitch cannot be ordered without the drawbar pin and clip because the drawbar is specifically designed for use with this hitch and vehicle.

For a hitch that will fit your vehicle and comes without the Drawbar you can order the Draw-Tite Class I Sportframe Trailer Hitch, item # 24698. Although this hitch comes without the drawbar Draw-Tite recommends the use of the Sportframe Drawbar 2-1/8 inches Rise or 2-3/4 inches Drop 2000# Kit, item # 3593, in the rise position only with this hitch.
