Rear Hitch 2″ for 1973-1974 VW Thing – Improved Design
VW Part Number SKU: 181707009
Description:
We used the hitch from VW of America to improve on. This hitch has been upgraded to allow for the use of a draw bar, and added strength needed for towing. The hitch bolts directly to the transmission cradle mount, so that the load is pulled from the vehicle’s chassis instead of the bumper.
Finished with a durable powder-coated black finish, this hitch is built to last, and its design also allows for easy access to the oil drain plate, so you can maintain your vehicle without removing the hitch.
*Notes: This hitch will fit with the original exhaust system
The Owner’s Manual states the total weight of a trailer without brakes should not exceed 882lbs, or with Brakes should not exceed 1433lbs. The trailer tongue load should be 55 to 88lbs.
Fits:
- 1973 VW Thing
- 1974 VW Thing
