Volkswagen Jetta Trailer Hitches & Towing

I chose to buy the Curt hitch for my vehicle due to their reputation and ease of installation. The package was delivered quickly and when I finally got around to installing it, it was very easy. I'm a handy sort of individual with a good collection of tools so there wasn't much to hold me back in getting it installed within 30 minutes. One tool I didn't have was a 1/2" torque wrench so I did what any grown a** man would do and put my impact gun on her and she done just fine. Haven't had the chance to pull anything with it but heck I know she ain't goin' nowhere. Thanks! Read more Curt Receiver Hitch customer reviews.

Great product. Had it professionally installed for a cost of $100. However, because of the configuration of my men's bike main frame bar (not straight across but slightly angled), my front tire was too close to the ground and bottomed out while going down slight inclines/declines. I am lucky to have not done severe damaged to my bike thanks to some flexibility. I would be 100% satisfied with this product if a 1-1/4'' to 1-1/4" receiver lift adapter was available for purchase.

I decided that I needed to put a hitch on my VW Jetta. The fact it is a ten-year wagon was making the choices pretty limited. However, when I found two different makes, I had to read over the installation instructions. Right away the Curt was the leading contender. Both because the design had the simplest lines, and because the install specified Jetta wagon and not some more ambiguous statement. Once I unpacked the box and sorted the parts, it went on without difficulty. I wasn't sure how easily I was going to drill the two upper holes because of the exhaust. So I traced the hitch holes on a paper template and indexed the paper on the in side, the other three went in easily. The instruction sheet should have been more explicit about when and where to apply the silicone or gasket sealant on the fender washers. However, I would recommend it to anyone. BTW, I used the square bar code feature to see how the hitch was made. Good feature but you probably blew up my smartphone data minutes with the Youtubes!

For starters this is a great hitch functionally. I bought it for my bike rack on my 2012 GLI. The hitch sits really low and I often bottom out. The box that was shipped was beat up pretty good. Luckily I don't have to buy hitches too often, but when I have I always buy Curt. -Mike

The hitch was very easy to install and shipping was prompt.
