Question:
Hello! I am interested in a hitch for my 2024 VW Taos, AWD. Im looking for one that would be able to support the weight of a dirt bike and rack for the bike. I would estimate ~260lbs. Thanks!

Hey Cody, for your 2024 Volkswagen Taos AWD I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT79GR. This hitch has a max tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs so it'll be plenty for your estimated 260 lb tongue weight. This hitch also has a 2,000 lb towing capacity, has a 2" receiver, and includes all the mounting hardware needed for install.
Where are you planning on going with your dirt bikes? Anyplace fun? Feel free to let me know in the comments if there is anything else I can do for you!
