Expert Answers about Volkswagen Jetta


  • 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.

  • SeaSucker does offer the Komodo part # 298-BK1910-BK which is a fit for your 2016 Volkswagen Jetta but the Falcon is only for truck bed.

The OutWay which is an extremely high quality bike rack that fits your vehicle and costs less than the SeaSucker.

  • Can a 2015 VW Jetta 1.8 CL Be Flat towed
