Two big problems with that trailer and hitch rig: first besdes compressing the suspension and exceeding the load rating of the tires. the "hitch assembly" attaches to the rain gutters, secondly, regardles of the bug's immense HP (48), the engine is air cooled and draws the air from the area just beneath the rear window. Pretty sure this set-up would limit or block too much of the normal airflow. In 30+ years as a VW owner and hobbiest, I've never seen this rig- thankfully.
