How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match Class 1 hardware to the CC door sticker and the live 11091 card before you shop anything heavier than a light rack or tiny trailer.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a Volkswagen CC in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit on this four-door coupe-sedan, then open the live CURT Class 1 shelf we stock for listed CC years. CURT 11091 is the in-stock Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed two thousand nine through two thousand seventeen Volkswagen CC years on the live card, excluding four-motion models, alongside listed Passat years on that same sheet. The hitch card rates about two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight. Door sticker first. Hitch second. Many CC owners are bike-rack or light utility shoppers, so treat the hitch rating as hardware capacity under the Volkswagen sticker.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the product cards below.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 11091 is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed two thousand nine through two thousand seventeen Volkswagen CC years on the live card, excluding four-motion. The same sheet also covers listed two thousand six through two thousand eleven Passat years, excluding three point six all-wheel-drive models. On the hitch card it rates about two thousand pounds gross and two hundred pounds tongue. That is Class 1 hardware sized for racks and very light trailers that still respect the Volkswagen door sticker.
If the badge in the driveway says Passat instead of CC, keep shopping on the Passat hitch buyer guide. Same 11091 card for many overlapping years. Different badge search. Four-motion CC models and Passat all-wheel-drive exclusions on the live title are not automatic fits even when the year matches.
We do not stock a dedicated CC trailer wiring harness on this store today. Plan lights as a confirm-first step after the hitch. Ask before inventing a plug, and test lights before the first Canadian night tow.
In-stock one and one quarter inch Class 1 for listed CC and Passat years on the live card, with four-motion and all-wheel-drive exclusions called out. Primary CC hitch on this shelf today.
Open live 11091 product →Parts-counter note. Confirm your CC year still sits on 11091 and that four-motion is not on the exclusion line. Confirm lights before you invent a plug. Keep trailers light and honest under the Volkswagen sticker.
Find the Volkswagen tow and tongue numbers for your CC. The hitch cannot raise that limit.
Confirm the live Class 1 card still shows your CC year and excludes four-motion as listed.
No dedicated CC harness is live here today. Confirm a lights path before the first night tow.
Two thousand pounds on the hitch card is not a blank cheque. Many CC stickers sit lower.
11091 opens a one and one quarter inch tube. Racks, pins, covers, and mounts must match that opening.
We only link year landers that already return on this store. Today that means Volkswagen CC landers from two thousand nine through two thousand seventeen.
We do not stock a dedicated CC trailer wiring harness on this store today. Plan lights after the hitch with a confirmed path, not a guess from a different Volkswagen badge.
These CC year landers are already live. We only link pages that return on this store.
Always confirm the live hitch card still lists CC for your year before you order. Four-motion exclusions on the live title still matter even when a year lander exists.
Keep the tube covered when empty, pin what you insert, and quiet chatter with a kit sized for your tube. Ball mounts must match that one and one quarter inch opening. Soft rubber plugs versus decorative covers get a deeper walk-through on our receiver plug versus cover tips page.
