Question:
Will this hitch fit a 2005 VW Rabbit? If Not do you make one? Or what is the difference between 05/06?

The new body style VW Rabbit was introduced to the US as a 2006 model. I do not have a listing for a 2005 VW Rabbit, just a Golf. You might check to see if your VW Rabbit might be a 2006 model.
The Draw-Tite Class I Hitch, # 24679, will fit on a 2006 VW Rabbit but not the GTI V6 models. It attaches to the vehicles trunk floor. It has a gross towing weight capacity of 2,000 lbs. and a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs.
With the # 24679 hitch if you will be towing you will need the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, # 3594, and the Tow Ready 2 Inch Hitch Ball, # 19258.
To install the # 24679 hitch it does require you to drill holes into the trunk floor.
You will need the Tow Ready 2 Inch Hitch Ball, # 19258.
The wiring kit needed for the 2006 VW Rabbit is the Wiring Harness, # C59496. It is designed for the Volkswagen with the multiplex wiring systems.
I am sending links to the instructions on both of the hitches and to the wiring kit.
