The distance between the clamps of the Rhino Rack Fairing part # RRRF2 is right at 10 inches so your bike rack that is 8.5 inches wide would fit between them. view full answer...
I checked with Swagman and found that the Trailhead bike rack # S63360 measures 40 inches from the top of the mast to where it connects to the shank. The shank rise is 3 inches measured from the top of the receiver. That is a total of 43 inches from the top of the receiver opening on the hitch to the top of the mast. I made a picture to illustrate this for you. This bike rack will be a great fit for your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. view full answer...

The # LCV000211446 itself does not have any retraction mechanisms built into it. The spring loaded portion would be in the arms that would hold the roller like the part # LC351396 that has the ability to roll up the roller as well as has speakers built into the arms.
For a spring loaded, manual drive head you would instead want the part # LC271181. view full answer...
The CE Smith # CE48810 Boat/PWC Trailer you referenced is compatible with the 4-pole vehicle side trailer connector pictured in the photo you provided.
Each of the 4.80/4.00-8 Load Range B tires are rated at 590 lbs, for two tires the capacity would be 1180 lbs. You wouldn't need to upgrade the tires as they already meet the trailer capacity. Keep in mind, even though the tire capacity is greater than the capacity of the trailer, you'll still need to abide by the 800 lb capacity of the... view full answer...
The lightest platform-style bike rack that we carry that includes locks and a tilting feature is the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Carrier, # SH12B. The Sherpa will fit Class I trailer hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and the wheel mount design is great for hybrid bikes and bikes with large and angled frames. This bike rack also has a shank with a 3-1/2 inch rise for better ground clearance.
I have attached a review video of this bike rack for you to check out. view full answer...
I checked with our vendors and the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7284 has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2014 VW Jetta SportWagen including the TDI models. Not only that but this is the only hitch that will fit the TDI models. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Jetta with included hardware.
I really like the EcoHitch item # 306-X7284 because the crossbeam installs behind the rear bumper cover leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only helps with ground... view full answer...
The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # C11474, has a gross towing weight capacity of 2,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs, which are common ratings for Class I trailer hitches. To verify that you can tow your 550 lb sailboat on your E-Z Loader trailer, you will need to check your vehicles owners manual to verify the towing capacity of your vehicle.
If the towing capacities of your 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen are lower than the towing capacities of this hitch, then you will... view full answer...
I spoke to my contact at Firestone and they informed me that the Firestone kit # F4176 is the custom fit suspension airbag kit for your 2010 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen. This kit's airbag will measure 3.56 inches in diameter and 7 inches long.
The way the air bags are designed is to sit loosely in the coil spring, they will not need to touch the top and the bottom when uninflated.
I also recommend adding an onboard compressor system # F2158 so you can adjust the air pressure from inside... view full answer...
The hitches that we carry for your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen, have very similar clearance distances. I have attached a photo of a hitch and the clearance distance marked. The 10-1/2 inches is from the top of the receiver opening, so the bottom of the receiver will be approximately 8-1/2 inches from the ground.
I am not aware of any hitches with a different design that have more ground clearance. view full answer...
It'll depend on how the fork mount attaches to the crossbar. If it's meant to fit into the slot on top of the crossbar, it should fit. If the bike rack is meant to fit around the crossbar, it would be harder to say, as we don't carry that bike rack and I cannot test it.
A Rhino Rack Vortex Aero crossbar measures 3-1/8 inches wide by 1-3/16 inches wide. You'd need to measure to ensure your VW bike rack would accommodate a crossbar of those dimensions. view full answer...
The 300 lb tongue weight (TW) and 2,000 lb gross towing weight (GTW) ratings for the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7284 apply only to the trailer hitch itself. Just like all other trailer hitch manufacturers, the EcoHitch is tested outside of the parameters of the tow vehicle itself so it is always important to look up the weight ratings and instructions for your vehicle prior to towing.
From what I could find online it looks like Volkswagen doesn't approve towing a trailer... view full answer...
