  • Comparing Hollywood Trail Rider or Swagman XTC Bike Rack for 2002 VW Golf
  • Of the two bike racks you referenced, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z over the Swagman XTC-2 # S64670 because the Trail Rider gives you more security and ground clearance than the XTC-2. The Hollywood Racks Trail Rider and Swagman XTC-2 are similar but the Trail Rider will secure both your bike and your daughter's bike with its locking ratcheting hooks; it also locks to your hitch which helps protect your investments. The XTC-2 can lock as well but you would need to...

  • Will Install of Hitch on 2023 Volkswagen Jetta Void Warranty
  • Our hitch manufacturers like Curt who makes the # C11540 that fits your 2023 Volkswagen Jetta basically will make a hitch for any vehicle there is a demand for. A lot of people aren't worried about voiding warranties but more importantly you are protected by the Magnuson Moss act. The Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act in short states that manufactures cannot void the entire warranty of a vehicle simply because they installed an aftermarket component.

  • Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for a 1998 Volkswagen New Beetle
  • I'm glad to hear you like the trailer hitch on your 2010 Nissan Maxima! While there are hitch fits for your 1998 Volkswagen New Beetle, these aren't the same as the hitch for your Maxima so you'll need to get a whole new hitch due to the overall design of the hitch and how it fits to the vehicle. For '98 New Beetle I recommend picking up the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11066 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver that will fit directly to the holes in the frame of your vehicle. Attached...

  • Can Blue Ox Sway Pro Weight Distribution System Be Upgraded By Using Higher Rated Spring Bars
  • You can indeed upgrade to the 2000 lb rated spring bars, part # BXW4014. The Sway Pro systems from the highest to the lowest rated all use the same weight distribution head.

  • The Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style, part # Y04073, will work be able to straddle the towers with no problem.

You still might be able to use the 8.3" and keep the JayLow inside the towers. It has dimensions of L 6.69 " x W 6.00" x H 20.00". I am not sure if that takes the angle of the carrier into consideration but...

  • How To Use a Blue Ox Tow Bar On a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta
  • The Blue Ox Apollo Tow Bar is what you'll want to use on a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta. In order to connect you'll also need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX3823. I don't have any options for a Tow Me 5000 Tow Bar unfortunately. In regards to wiring, the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit part # RM-154 is a great option and will work well.
