How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match hitch class to the door sticker and the live card before you shop a heavier trailer than the vehicle can honestly tow.
Watch on YouTubeVolkswagen ID.4 Trailer Hitch Buyers Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for a Volkswagen ID.4 in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year on this electric crossover, then open CURT 13489. That Class 3 hitch uses a two inch receiver on the shared carton that also lists Audi Q4 e-tron years. The live product notes call out ID.4 with factory receiver, so confirm your trim still matches that path before you cart. Light utility and cargo are the usual ask when the VW sticker agrees. Confirm ratings on the live product card. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.
Parts-counter shortcut.
Read the door sticker, confirm the factory-receiver note on live 13489, then shop two inch mounts that match the tube.

Watch these CURT videos first
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.
If an embed does not load, use the YouTube link under the card. ID.4 shoppers usually land on Class 3 two inch hardware on the shared 13489 carton when the live card still lists the factory-receiver path.
Trailer Hitch Installation Techniques
Confirm the live card still lists your year and configuration. Shared sheets are easy to mix up when sibling badges sit nearby.

Plan lights after the hitch. A four-flat or seven-way still needs a clean ground before the first night tow.

Match shank size to the live tube, then level the trailer with rise versus drop once the hitch is on.
Watch on YouTubeThe live hitch path for listed ID.4 years
CURT 13489 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver path. On the live storefront title the card lists Volkswagen ID.4 years from two thousand twenty-one through two thousand twenty-six beside Audi Q4 e-tron years. Gross trailer weight on the live card is three thousand pounds with three hundred pounds tongue weight. Your EV door sticker still sets the ceiling, and many ID.4 trims are light-tow only.
Shared-sheet honesty matters. The same stocked carton covers listed Q4 e-tron years. If you own the Audi badge, the existing Q4 e-tron buyer guide is the cleaner landing page. If you own an ID.4 that the live 13489 fitment still lists, this guide is the preferred place to start. An older ID4 handle without the hyphen may still appear in search. Use this ID.4 lander when you want the year pages that already use the hyphenated slug.
The live handle also calls out ID.4 with factory receiver. That is not a blank check for every trim. Confirm the live fitment and the factory-receiver note on the product card before you order. Do not invent a second hitch SKU that is not on the shelf.
CURT 13489 Class 3
In-stock Class 3 shared carton for listed ID.4 and Q4 e-tron years on the live product path. Primary two inch path for ID.4 shoppers when the VW sticker and factory-receiver note agree.
Open live 13489 product →Parts-counter note. Confirm factory-receiver wording on the live card. EV tow ratings stay modest on many trims.
