1st.... YEs I used the search, and I went through the forums manually. But....
Is there a How TO on a Trailer hitch install, and where have you all got your hitches from and how much. What hitch did you get? I was thinking Class II. Will ANY class 2 hitch work?
TIA

I installed a Hidden Hitch the the wagon. No problems and I've exceeded the towing capacity (once) listed in the owners manual by 80%........

Okay... I am not trying to be a dick here, but I am not asking if there were problems. I would like to know about the install, and where you can get the hitch itself.

Is the "hidden hitch" class I or class II?

IIRC All the american offered Hitches for the TDI are only Class I. You would have to get a euro hitch to get something that is rated to pull Class II loads.

Your welcome. And they do only take about 45 minutes to install.
