I have been looking off/on for a hitch for our 2013 passat. I didn't like the curt hitch since it hangs off the bumper rebar.
I found the ecohitch http://torkliftcentral.com/2015-volkswagen-passat-ecohitch . It mounts to the body "frame" holes and then you mount the bumper rebar on top of it.
You have an option of a 2" or 1.25" receiver.
They have a youtube video that shortly shows the actual hitch. https://youtu.be/VGO9DAiLw8U?t=111
The Touareg hitch is almost the exact same thing. A Touareg hitch weighs 50+lbs.
Has anyone installed one of these on a Passat? I see posts on the Jetta Sportwagen.
