Hello Ahmed; for a hitch that fits your 2023 Volkswagen ID 4 I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT84GR. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and a bolt-on installation. It has a concealed cross tube so only the receiver will be visible at the rear and comes with a lifetime warranty.

For wiring, you need the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236. This splices into your existing wiring and will give you a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights.

If you would rather not splice on your ID 4 you can use the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT instead. This uses zero contact interface connectors that will clamp on. If you also need a ball mount, check out the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.

Hey Ahmed, how did the Draw-Tite hitch and Curt wiring setup work out on your ID 4? Your results could really help others looking to add towing power to their EV. Sharing what worked best would be great for the next person tackling this.
