Features to know about

Add Towing Capability for Light Loads: Class I 1-1/4" Hitch Receiver

When you need a solid connection for small trailers, cargo baskets, or bike racks, this Curt Class I hitch is built for the job. It’s rated for a maximum 1,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 100 lbs tongue weight, giving you enough capacity for light-duty towing and everyday hauling. The 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening works with compatible ball mounts and accessories designed for Class I hitches.

Simple Bolt-On Install: Custom Fit with No Welding

This hitch is made for a quick DIY install using standard tools. The custom fit lines up with existing mounting points, so there’s no welding or fabrication needed. It comes with the full hardware kit and installation instructions so you can get it bolted up securely in a driveway or garage without special equipment.

Built to Last Through Weather and Road Grime: Fully Welded Steel with Gloss Powder Coat

The precision, robotic-welded steel body gives the hitch its strength, and the dual-layer finish keeps it looking good after years of use. A protective base coat is topped with a gloss black powder coat that resists rust from rain and road salt. The sturdy square-tube design feels solid whether you’re towing a small trailer or carrying recreational gear.

Ready for Everyday Use: Works with Common Accessories

The 1-1/4" receiver fits popular Class I ball mounts, bike racks, and cargo carriers, so you can get more utility out of your vehicle. Drawbar, pin, and clip are sold separately, letting you choose the exact setup you need. Whether you’re hauling camping gear or heading out with bikes on the weekend, this hitch makes it easy to bring your gear along safely.

2013 Volkswagen Eos

I purchsed the following for my Volkeswagon EOS 2013. Had some reservations about fitting on a car like this. Would of loved to of used the Thule Helium Aero or something similar but not sure if they would of fit due to hanging lower. I decided to go with the following:
11090 Class I Hitch Vw Eos
S63360 Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting

So far I am very happy with the fit. As you can see from the pictures there is great clearance to the ground as well as between the car and bike.

This rack is so easy to use. It sits on the back of my Volkswagon EOS. My car mechanic was so impressed with how easy it was to install he called me later to get the name of the rack for one of his other clients.

Customer Service from etailer was great as well as I maneuvered through choosing and installing the correct product.

by: Ginny C. 07/23/2019 One Year Later

The hitch and rack are really solid, sturdy, and easy to use - once you get the rack on the car. Getting it there isn't easy, as it's heavy and awkward, so getting the connector pipe into the hitch and then getting it locked in is a challenge for me. If you're young, strong, and a guy, maybe it's easier.

2014 Volkswagen Eos

Very happy with Hitch and bike rack. Installation was as advertised. Bolts arrived damaged due to harsh handling in shipment, but they were easily replaced from hardware store. Otherwise great product! Installed on 2014 VW Eos. It sits about 6 inches under car so it is hardly noticeable. Husband installed the rack in about 1 hour.

Product was easy to install with the instructions and hardware that were included.

exactly what i needed. website specific info was right on and it helped me determine that this particular item was a good fit for both the car and my bike rack.

by: John Anschutz 12/04/2011

instructions. On this installation you have to use something called a fishline. I was worried because I learned about that after I placed my order and I did not order this particular tool. I tried to think of ways I could get the job done anyway without the tool. You can't imagine how happy I was when the hitch arrived with EVERYTHING I needed including the fishline, instructions and parts. etrailer.com is fantastic and I would recommend them to anyone based on my experience

by: Sheldon R 07/07/2011

The price is great and the free standard delivery came in 2 days! The last 2 (Jeep & Pontiac) installed perfectly so not expecting any problems with this one (VW). Great company to deal with.

Do you have a question about this Trailer Hitch?

What Wiring Harness To Use With The Volkswagen Eos?
Hello Izzy, thanks for reaching out. What I recommend for the Volkswagen EOS is the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. This is the best option for the EOS because it allows you to add a 4-flat connector without any cutting or splicing of the vehicles wiring. We do have videos showing installation, but we do not have a video specifically showing the VW Eos. The video below shows installation on a Tesla, so it should give you a good general idea of the installation...

The MonoRail is Class I compatible and has a 1-1/4 inch shank to fit right in your Curt hitch with no extra hardware needed.

Bike Rack and Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2010 Volkswagen Eos
The only way you may be able to open and close your 2010 Volkswagen Eos convertible hard top while a bike rack is attached is by using a trailer hitch and a hitch mount bike rack. It will depend on how far back your trunk moves for the hood to retract. For a trailer hitch that is confirmed to fit your Eos I recommend the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11090. This trailer hitch will allow you to carry up to 2 bikes on a Class I compatible trailer hitch while also using the stabilizer strap...

Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2010 Volkswagen Eos
The 2010 Volkswagen Eos is a rather small vehicle and trailer hitch manufacturers don't typically offer the larger hitch size options for these smaller vehicles. Therefore the only trailer hitch options available for an Eos are 1-1/4" for which I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11090. The 1-1/4" can then be expanded to a 2" using the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2"part # HTAD but keep in mind this will reduce your capacity by 50%.

Will the Thule Helium Aero Bike Carrier Fit a 2012 Volkswagen Eos with the Curt Trailer Hitch
Yes, the Thule Helium Aero, # TH9042PRO, will fit your 2012 Volkswagen Eos with Draw-Tite Class I trailer Hitch. The Carrier measures 14-3/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright mast. The locking knob is closer but it is at an angle and the bottom rear of the vehicle tapers so that would not be an issue. Trailer hitches for your 2012 Volkswagen Eos, including Curt Class I hitch # C11090, are recessed pretty far under the rear of the vehicle. The Helium...

Recommendation to Carry 3 Bikes with 2008 Volkswagen Eos
The only available trailer hitches that are confirmed to fit your 2008 Volkswagen Eos are Class I hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. This is most likely because the vehicle does not have the capacity to handle the type of weight that a higher class trailer hitch is rated for. The maximum amount of bikes that you can transport using a bike rack on a Class I trailer hitch is 2. I recommend the Curt Class I # C11090. This is confirmed to fit your vehicle and it will provide a tongue weight...

Bike Racks with Ramp for Heavy Electric Bikes
If you've ever considered putting a hitch and a bike rack on your Camaro, we've done it before with part # C11900. We have different custom fits depending on your year and model, and if installed properly, are mostly hidden. The following recommended bike racks also work with Camaro Class I hitch receivers if you wanted that as an option. From my experience with loading bike racks, I can recommend two different racks with ramps. The first is the Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack Gunmetal...

Recommendation For 2 Bike Rack For 2008 Volkswagen Eos
On your 2008 Volkswagen Eos I would recommend to use a hitch with a hitch mount bike rack. Thule does not list a trunk bike rack for the Volkswagen Eos vehicle. Yakima does list trunk bike racks that will fit your vehicle, but the trunk bike rack will have to be removed before you can retract the hardtop into the trunk. I am including a link to the Yakima trunk bike racks that will fit your Eos. I would recommend the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11090. This hitch is a Class...

Hitch Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Volkswagen Eos
For the 2012 Volkswagen Eos you will use the Curt Hitch Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11090. This hitch is a Class I hitch so you will limited to only hauling 2 bikes maximum on a hitch bike rack. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Curt hitch and a link to a video of the hitch being installed on a Volkswagen Eos. For a 2 bike hitch rack that will work on your Volkswagen Eos, I would recommend the Swagman XTC-2 Platform Bike Rack, part # S64670. This platform...

Does the Tongue Weight Rating and Towing Capacity of a Hitch Match the Vehicles Capacity Ratings
The tongue weight rating, or towing capacity, of the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch # C11090 does not mean that the vehicle is rated for the same capacities. I was unable to find information on the towing capacity, or tongue weight, of the Eos in my research. I recommend checking your owner's manual or your local Volkswagen dealer to find out the tongue weight and towing capacities, or even its ability to tow at all, of your 2012 Volkswagen Eos. If you determine your Eos has a high enough...

Recommended Drawbar and 50mm Hitch Ball For Attaching Euro Bike Rack To 2011 Volkswagen Eos
I may have an option for you. For the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24824 you have installed on your 2011 Volkswagen Eos Draw-Tite recommends the Drawbar # 3594. Now when it comes to a hitch ball you will likely need the 50mm hitch ball # 63912 as this is what euro bike racks like you are referencing typically use. You will want to confirm this with the manufacturer of the rack. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

Trailer Hitch Receiver Fitment For a 2015 Volkswagen Eos
Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11090 will fit all models of the 2015 Volkswagen Eos. It will require modification to the heat shield on your Eos to install the receiver. The receiver is rated for 100lbs of tongue weight and 1,000lbs of towing. Be sure to verify your vehicle capabilities with a VW dealer and do not exceed the lower of the 2 numbers. The Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT will allow you to add a 4-way trailer connection for operating...

Fit of Swagaman Trailhead # S63360 Bike Rack on 2013 VW Eos Hardtop Convertible
Since you already have a hitch, you can quickly determine if the Swagman Trailhead would be compatible with your VW Eos. You'll need to find the distance between the hitch pin hole in the receiver and the furthest rearward point of the back bumper. I've linked you to an FAQ article that shows exactly how to do this.. If this distance is less than 11 inches (which it certainly should be), the Swagman Trailhead # S63360 would be an outstanding choice for you. As far as tools for installation,...

Hitch and Bike Rack Setup for 2008 Volkswagen Eos for Heavier Bikes
The best solution we have is going to be a 1-1/4 inch hitch like the Draw Tite part # 24824 with a new bike rack as there isn't a 2 inch hitch that fits your 2008 Volkswagen Eos and the use of a hitch adapter cuts the hitch capacity in half plus adds movement so that's not recommended. In general 2 inch hitches are only used on vehicles with higher towing capacities like trucks and SUVs. Sounds like your bikes might be heavier due to the weight you mentioned, so for a bike rack with a...

What is the Ground Clearance with a CURT Trailer Hitch Installed on a 2012 Volkswagen Eos
I spoke with my contact at CURT regarding trailer hitch # 11090. What you can do is measure from the bottom of the vehicle frame straight down 8-1/2 inches. This is where the bottom of the receiver will be when the hitch is installed. So if you measure from that point to the ground (on level ground) that will give you the ground clearance measurement. If you used a ball mount with a 5 inch rise and a ball that is 2 inches tall, add seven inches to get a general idea of where the top of...

Is Cutting or Modifying the Bumper Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2009 Volkswagen Eos
Good news. You will not have to cut or modify the bumper or rear fascia in any way to install the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11090, on your 2009 Volkswagen Eos. You may have to trim or bend a heat shield so the hitch will fit properly. I have included a link to the installation instructions below. The recommended ball mount for this hitch is # 3594. Use only the recommended ball mount and it should only be used in the rise position. For a hitch ball, you can use # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter)...

Bike Rack Recommendation for 2008 Volkswagen Eos Carrying Mountain Bike or Road Bike
When it comes to a bike rack for your 2008 Volkswagen Eos, the quickest, most economical, route would be to go with a trunk mounted rack like the Yakima HangOut 3, # Y02638. Just attach it to your vehicle using the integrated 6 strap system and you are ready to go. Please keep in mind that any time something is mounted directly to the surface of a vehicle there is potential for damage. Here are a few tips that can considerably reduce the risk of damage to your vehicle when using a trunk...

Hitch Bike Rack Options for 2008 Volkswagen Eos
You can go in one of two ways to mount your bike on your 2008 Volkswagen Eos 2-door coupe. The lower-cost method is a trunk-mount bike rack. A trunk rack is fine especially if you have only the one bike to transport, and if that bike is a fairly standard weight of 30-35-lbs. If you happen to have a recumbent or other specialty bike (or just a really heavy one) please let me know. The trunk-mount 2-bike carriers confirmed to fit your 2008 Volkswagen Eos come from Yakima, a prominent quality...

Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Volkswagen EOS
The Curt Hitch part # C11090 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2015 Volkswagen EOS so I would recommend it for you. For carrying a bike rack you will also need the stabilizer strap part # 18050. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
