Hello Tim,

Congrats on the new VW! Yes, you can most definitely install a trailer hitch on the back of your 2025 VW Taos. The hitch that you were looking at the # DT79GR is a great fit, but it looks like it is on a bit of a back order and wouldn't get to you until about mid April. I do have another option that is ready to ship the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C38JR. I attached some pictures so you can see exactly where the hitch is going to sit, this is from an install we did here at etrailer on a 2022. I attached the install video as well.

If you also need some wiring for some light towing or a hitch mounted accessory you will want the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236, and don't forget to grab a # 18144 for a clean looking install.

People use their hitches for all different purposes these days, what is going to be the sole purpose of yours? Towing, bike rack, cargo carrier..... there are so many options.

Hey Tim, how did things go with the Curt hitch on your VW Taos? Did it fit the way you wanted for your towing or cargo setup? Your update could make it easier for others working on the same vehicle.
