Fitting tow ball to id4 life 52kwh pure model

Thinking of ordering an id4 life 52kwh it seems that the factory fitted towball is only available on the 77 kWh model. Does anyone know if I can get a towball fitted to the car preferably through a vw dealer or after market? I need 1 to fit a bike rack to carry 2 ebikes.

I guess you shouldn't worry about it. if your car will not have a towball, I can install it by yourself or ask the diller to do so.
Last time I priced having a towbar installed I found the price had jumped. If you don't actually tow with the vehicle not cost effective, e.g. if you're installing only for a bike rack. A good alternative to new is to find a wrecker that specialises in your vehicle, most do installs also & any brackets & wiring specific to your car will be ready made.

If you’re only needing bike transport maybe a rack mount would be better. Some good roof or tailgate varieties are available these days and detachable when not needed.

I thought I'd read that only early ID4 models are suitable for towbars - I have 2021 ID4 Pro Performance 77kwh and thought I couldn't have one - does anyone know different. I also would like to carry 2 ebikes - will research non tow bar ones but looked before and not found one suitable so if anyone has found one suitable would be good to know. Thanks.
