Factory-Installed Trailer Hitch

If The Vehicle Was Already Delivered From The Factory With A Trailer Hitch, All Of The Technical And Legal Requirements For Towing A Trailer Have Already Been Taken Into Account.

Note That A >>13-Pin<< Trailer Socket Has Been Installed In Many Models Since The Beginning Of 1988 Instead Of The Conventional >>7-Pin<< Socket. This New Socket Allows Additional Electrical Consumers In The Trailer To Be Connected, Such As Back-Up Lamps. This Was Not Possible With The Previous Socket.

If The Trailer That Will Be Hitched Has A >>7-Pin<< Connector, An Adapter Cable Available From Authorized Volkswagen Dealers Can Be Used.
