Expert Reply:

For your 2013 VW GTI with dual exhaust, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24904. We have had customers fit this hitch on dual exhaust models. The shape of the Curt # C11000 would most likely not work as well with a dual exhaust system.

If you will be doing some light towing with this hitch, I recommend the Sportframe Drawbar 4" Rise 2000 lb Kit # 3594. You will need a hitch ball like # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball.

For vehicle wiring, I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT. This harness comes with the connectors you need as well as the tester and the wire to connect the harness to your vehicle battery. This will protect your factory wiring from overload.
