Question:

Hey all Looking for a hitch for 2025 VW Taos SE. Dont need wiring as it is just for a bike rack. Is there one? IN 1.25 Size? And Is there an option that does not need trimming of bottom facia? And do you have partners in Western PA that would install? Thank you

Hey Steve, we have the Curt Class III hitch part # C38JR that is a confirmed fit for your 2025 Volkswagen Taos and would do a great job to carry a bike rack. This is a 2 inch hitch though and not the size you mentioned. But worth mentioning is that generally people prefer this hitch size to the smaller size due to higher capacities and more racks made for it.

To help find an installer I attached a link to a page that has a way to find the best installers in your area.

Hey Steve, did you decide to go with the Curt Class III hitch for your Taos, or are you still considering other options? I'm asking because your experience could help others looking for a similar setup.
