• Weight of EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2019 VW E-Golf

• Recommended Hitch Mount Bike Rack and Lock for a 2004 Volkswagen Passat
• The hitch mount 2 bike rack I recommend, and has a great price point, is the Curt # C18085. It's a very lightweight rack plus will have a weight capacity of 90 pounds. I would double-check your Owners Manual to figure the tongue weight capacity and ensure you don't exceed it. In order to secure your bikes to the bike rack and lock your trailer hitch, I recommend the Lock # e98891 because it has a 10 foot long steel cable that will lock to your trailer hitch chain loops and bikes with one...

• Best Easy to Install Tire Chains for 2017 Volkswagen Jetta 225/45-17
• If you wanted to give her the absolute best in terms of traction, durability, and ease of install you can't beat the Kong Easy Fit Chains part # TH04115095 for your tire size of 225/45-17. Unlike other options these install in a matter of seconds and don't require crawling around in the snow. They are made from a hardened steel too which allows them to last a really long time. The links are small enough to not require as much clearance but still provide great traction.

• Fit of Thule Helium Aero # TH9042 in EcoHitch # 306-X7284 Installed on 2010 VW Jetta SportWagen
• According to our measurements, the distance from the hitch pin hole in the shank of the # TH9042PRO Thule Helium Aero PRO to the closest upright portion of the rack is 10-3/4 inches. When we installed the # 306-X7284 hitch on a 2011 Jetta SportWagen, we found that the hitch pin hole to furthest rearward point of rear bumper measured only 2-1/2 inches.

• Does the EcoHitch - 2" # 306-X7284 Fit a Turbo Diesel Model of 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen?
• Judging by the product pages you were looking at, it looks like you are referring to the EcoHitch - 2" # 306-X7284. If this is what you are referring to, the hitch fits both the TDI (turbocharged diesel engines) and non-TDI models of 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen.
