Features to know about

Bring More Gear Without the Hassle: Class III 2" Hitch With 3,500 lbs Capacity

This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver opens up what you can haul. With a 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight capacity and 525 lbs tongue weight rating, it’s ready for small trailers, utility hauls, or a boat run to the lake. The 2" receiver size works with common ball mounts, bike racks, and cargo carriers, so you can tow or carry what you need without special adapters.

Make Installation Straightforward: Bolt-On Setup With Included Hardware

Don’t overcomplicate your weekend project. This hitch bolts directly on using the included hardware—no welding or major modifications required. It’s made for a simple DIY install whether you’re working in your garage or out in the driveway. The fit and alignment are precise, so the install feels smooth from start to finish.

Keep It Looking Clean: Concealed Main Body and Durable Powder Coat Finish

The cross tube tucks up behind the bumper to keep things looking factory-clean instead of bulky. A dual-layer finish—protective base coat topped with a tough powder coat—keeps rust and road grime from taking hold. It stays looking sharp while standing up to the elements year after year.

Stay Ready for Every Trip: Open-Back Receiver for Easy Cleaning

You won’t have to fight with dirt or debris buildup in the receiver tube. The open-back design makes it easy to clean out after a muddy trail ride or winter drive, keeping your hitch ready for whatever gear you’re hooking up next.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch

  • Availability of Photo for Curt Hitch on 2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz
    Hi Keenan; at this time there are no photos available of the Curt # C42ZJ on a 2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz. Since the hitch is a pre-order and hasn't been released yet we haven't had a chance to install one and add our own photos. Curt usually has a photo of the finished installation in their instructions but once again, this is a pre-order so the instructions aren't out yet just like the hitch.

  • Will There be Hitch for 2025 VW ID Buzz
    I would assume so. As long as there's a demand for one the manufacturers will make one.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz
    Hey Doug! The Curt Hitch item # C42ZJ is a preorder so no information has been released about it yet. We know it's going to fit the 2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz but that's it for now. (04/25/25) What are you planning on using the hitch for?

  • Will Installation of Wiring Harness on 2025 Volkswagen ID-Buzz Require Bumper Removal
    Hey Mike! You will not have to remove the bumper to install a wiring harness on your 2025 Volkswagen ID-Buzz. The Curt is still a pre-order (we don't have an ETA) but you can actually get a wiring harness right now from Tekonsha # TK98DR. Take a look at the picture below and you will see where this connects to the vehicle wiring. The full installation instructions are also attached further down on this page. Are you planning on towing or do you have an accessory with lights?

  • CURT Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for the 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz 4Motion
    Hi Patrick Yes! I checked with CURT, and the CURT custom fit wiring harness, part # C56PQ, will work with your 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz 1st Edition with 4Motion. The good news is that it’s compatible with all styles of the ID. Buzz, so you’re good to go with your model! If you don't already have a hitch, I'd recommend the CURT Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C42ZJ. It’s a custom fit Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver. I really like the CURT brand because of its reputation for quality...
