Can Swagman Chinook be Used on a Curt Class I Hitch on a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta
Question:
I have a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta with the Class 1 Curt hitch Code: C11072. Ive seen some reviews saying the Drawtie is the better hitch. Would the Curt hitch work just as well for the Swagman Cinhook 2 Code: S64683 or is there some difference I may see?

Expert Reply:
Curt hitches like the part # C11474 are great. The reason you see us recommend the Draw Tite over Curt is because Curt requires you to use a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when carrying a bike rack.
You would have to use the strap with the Chinook part # S64683 but the hitch would work great still.
I attached a review video for the rack and the strap as well.
