How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a Class 3 tube can still be a modest ID.4 job once you read the three thousand pound rating on the card.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Volkswagen ID.4 in Canada? This is a light-to-moderate EV path, not a half-ton truck story. We stock two Class 3 cards that share the ID.4 years: CURT 13489 for vans with a factory receiver already in place, and CURT 13492 when there is no factory receiver. Both list a three thousand pound gross trailer weight note and a three hundred pound tongue-weight note on the card — so the door sticker still wins.
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 open the ID.4 cards.

Watch on YouTube →General install habits. Finish with the 13489 or 13492 instruction sheet — concealed-body EV bumpers are picky about fascia steps.
Watch on YouTube →Useful context even when an ID.4-specific harness is not listed on this store yet — lights still need a real plan.
Watch on YouTube →Both cards use a two inch opening. Keep tongue weight honest on an EV — three hundred pounds on the card is not a suggestion to ignore.
Watch on YouTube →CURT 13489 is the Class 3 hitch we list for 2021 through 2026 ID.4 years on the card when the vehicle already has a factory receiver. It uses a two inch receiver and shows a three thousand pound gross trailer weight note and a three hundred pound tongue-weight note. It also covers listed Audi Q4 e-tron years on the same card. It shows real inventory on Lots of Parts today.
CURT 13492 is the path for the same ID.4 years when there is no factory receiver. Same Class 3 two inch opening and the same three thousand pound and three hundred pound notes on the card, with a concealed main body for a cleaner look. Pick 13489 or 13492 by what is already under the bumper — do not guess from a photo alone.
