    I purchased and installed this on one of my Passats for the purpose of attaching a bike rack (a Swagman XTC 2-bike rack). The hitch was fairly easy to install (I've installed these before on other vehicles), and required no drilling. Once installed, it seems to be very sturdy, and I'm sure I could easily pull a small trailer if desired (and if I added a wiring harness). I attached the rack, loaded my favorite bike and my wife's favorite bike and went for a test drive. I was amazed at how stable it was - and how good the ride quality of the car was. I'm looking forward to taking this on some longer trips - and I commit to come back and update this review based on those experiences.

    Installation was not as hard as I expected--although it's a little dodgy on the muffler side, but that's an issue with the design of the car, not the hitch. Appears very sturdy and a great installation plan with no drilling or welding. Make sure you have silicone caulk on hand--luckily I did, as I wasn't prepared for that. Took me about 90 minutes (including jacking up the car with the spare jack and putting the car on jack stands in my driveway) in the dark with a worklight, although I REALLY took my time. I'd say if you just trust the instructions and go for it, it'd take less than an hour. Nice product, but don't plan on pulling your boat with it, of course.

    Very solid hitch. We bought this hitch to use in conjunction with a bike carrier. My husband installed the hitch using the instructions provided. Good pictures and good instructions. The one thing he found that could be improved upon was the need to retighten the bolts after usage to ensure every thing was still tight. The use of locktite or nylon nuts would eliminate the need to retighten several times.

    Very rugged looking when I took it out of the box. Had full colour printed instructions, specific to my car, can't get better than that. While it took me longer than the 1/2 hour that out stated, there were no issues whatsoever with the instal. The hitch looks great, is an extremely low profile (can't see the crossbar at all), and looks nicely powder coated. I imagine this will last the life of the car, at a cost ant 1/2 what it would have cost to buy it installed elsewhere.

    Installed this hitch on a new 2016 Volkswagen Passat used for a Thule bike rack. Chose the CURT design after having the identical hitch on a 2015 VW Passat. This was a far more complex installation (on the 2016 car) because of a revised design under the trunk which includes a large plastic splash pan that requires significant cutting to fit around the hitch. Curt should have included some sort of template. Otherwise, this is a top quality product.

    Super easy to install and put on my 14' passat. Did not have to remove bumper (however doing so makes the process easier.) Borrowed a torque wrench from the local auto parts store and put in on in a couple hours.
