What are you going to be hauling with your ID4?



by:

The trailer hitch was delivered today and it fits perfectly on my VW ID.4. I am most pleased with the excellent product. Thank you!
Sincerely,

John Medicus



by:

Worked as promised. Easy install. We use it for our Kuat bike rack. If you need it for your ID.4 (AWD) get it.



by:

Perfect fit and 10 minute install!



by:

Bolted right on to our 2022 VW ID4. We use it to tow our 10000lbs. trailer almost daily.. kidding but makes the 2" bike rack work no problem.



by:

One year in and no issues. Installed it myself, it was super easy. I haven't towed anything but there is often a bike rack on the hitch.



by:

Very easy to install. Purchased to replace smaller smaller receiver that came on my '25 ID4. Ten minute swap.



by:

This took 5 minutes to install and saved me from buying a new bike rack. Super quick free shipping too. A+



by:

It's been 1 year since I purchased and installed this on my 2022 VW ID.4. The car with a 1 1/4" receiver which in my opinion is mostly useless. I don't tow with this car but I do use my 4 bike racks and feel confident with the 2" receiver instead of a silly adapter. Installation was very quick & easy.



by:

Easy install good solid product. Took me longer to find the socket than to remove factory hitch and install this.



by:

Perfect fit!



by:

This was a breeze to install, just 4 bolts on our VW ID4 with factory towing package. I swapped out the 1.25 inch with the 2 inch, same bolts were reused. Just needed a 5/8 socket and a torque wrench to get it tightened to spec.



by:

It fit the ID4 perfect.



by:

Great quality and fit.



by:

Works great, easy to install



by:

The updates were prompt, it arrived almost immediately and even came with installation instructions specific to my car make and model.



by:

Built like a tank



by:

Quick and easy



by:

Way better solution than a 2" adapter! Wish I would've thought of this first. No more bike rack wobble. Even though it's sized up, it fits the space perfectly.



by:

Excellent product, fast shipping, easy installation



by:

This is a great upgrade to my 2022 Volkswagen ID four that came with an inch and a quarter receiver. The 2 inch receiver fits so many more things. The receiver arrived when it was expected and it was very simple to install, four bolts.



by:

Very easy bolt-on installation (for VW ID.4) using previous bolts. Coating is good, like most Curt products. NOTE: This does NOT increase your towing capacity! The ID.4 has a significantly lower towing and tongue weight than the hitch itself, go by the vehicle stats.

Etrailer awesome as always, this item was out of stock when I ordered and they contacted me right away with several different options in case I was in a hurry. I wasn't, so waited just a couple extra days for it to get back in stock and they sent it to me as soon as they could. Always awesome communication and service.



by:

Perfect fit for the ID.4, replacing the factory towing package 1-1/4" receiver. Very easy to install: just take out 4 bolts, put this in place, and put the 4 bolts back in. (Note the nuts are welded on to the inside of the bumper, so you don't have to worry about them falling off.) Only thing I would change is to have matte paint on it instead of glossy paint so it doesn't stand out so much under the car (the bumper cover is matte black plastic).

Having a 2" receiver makes a lot more options available, since 2" is a lot more common than 1-1/4". Given the 2700 lbs towing rating of the AWD ID.4, having 1-1/4" never really made sense to me anyway.

  • What Is The Correct Trailer Hitch For My 2023 Volkswagen ID 4?
    I can definitely help and point you in the right direction. Right now we have 2 hitches available for the 2023 models.

    All of the hitch options for your 2022 Volkswagen ID 4 have the same max tongue weight rating of 300 lbs. The tongue weight rating is the one that is of concern when using a bike rack.

  • Selecting The Correct Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2023 VW ID 4
    It sounds like you do not have a receiver on your 2023 Volkswagen ID 4 which means you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR. The other Curt # C57JR is designed to bolt in place of the 1-1/4" factory receiver and gives you a 2" opening. I recommend installing the 4-Way # C59496 when you install the receiver. This is the connector commonly used on small trailers you may tow and will also allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you are using a hitch mounted accessory which impairs...

    Definitely smart to check, and yes, I can verify that the Curt trailer hitch that fits your 2022 Volkswagen ID.4 does have the needed 1-1/2 inch pin hole depth to use the Thule XTR bike rack. The part numbers for both are the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C57JR - Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # TH69TX This will give you about as nice a 4-bike rack set up as you can get; the XTR is really easy to install in your hitch, tightening with just the turn of a knob, and...

  • Can The Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes Be used In A 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver
    The Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # Y02443-2 is far too heavy to be used in a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver. Yakima offers the Yakima RidgeBack Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # Y02458, which can fit in a 1-1/4" receiver tube and has a 40lb per bike capacity. If you want to stick with the # Y02443-2 then you would need to upgrade the trailer hitch. If you have a factory trailer hitch then the receiver tube can be replaced with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C57JR. If you had the 1-1/4"...
