  • Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Available For a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta TDI?
  • For your 2004 Volkswagen Jetta I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24748 since you can only get a 1-1/4" class I receiver on your Jetta. Draw-Tite recommend using their Ball Mount # 3593 with this receiver on your Jetta. A 1-7/8" Ball # 19256 or 2" Ball # 19258 will be needed to connect to your car dolly. The Hopkins Tail Light Converter Kit # HM48925 will give you a 4-way flat trailer connection to control the lights on your tow dolly.

  • Can Brakes Be Added to a Farm Wagon Used on Steep Terrain
  • It is possible in some circumstances to add either electric or hydraulic (surge) brakes to a trailer that does not have them, so it is theoretically possible to do something similar on a farm vehicle.
