: Hitch Found!

Curt Manufacturing in the USA is listing its 11090 hitch for the Volkswagon Eos! It requires lowering the exhaust and trimming wings off the heat shield. I'm hoping to get a letter from my dealer saying that the installation will not "damage" the vehicle when my lease is up in three years.

I'm so-o-o looking forward to driving this car east to bike on Cape Cod trails. Of course, I won't be able to drive with the top down until I get there, but the future is finally looking bright.

Hello Grace I am very please to read that you have found what I am looking for.
I will be looking forward to see how the installation goes. I have check the Curt web site but I did not see any price list on the site.

Dan, the Curt hitch works very well. I've purchased a Hollywood bike rack, and I'm set to role. I took pictures but don't know how to insert them here.

I do hope you'll post pics. I decided about a month ago that the Eos is the car to replace my 7.5 y/o, 100,000 miles NB. I hope to buy my desired Eos within the next week and have been wondering how to transport my mountain and road bikes with this car. I've had 3 convertibles before and never gave it a second thought to put a blanket around my bike and throw it in the car's backseat with the top down. Somehow, I'm not wanting to do that with the Eos. :)
