Hitch Recommendation for 2003 Volkswagen Jetta Gas Turbo
Question:
I am interested in getting one of these two hitches for my 2003 VW Jetta. I want to use it with the following Thule T2 Pro XT tailgate bike rack. 9035xt Do you know if I would be able to use the Hidden Hitch Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch with this rack for my car? I like the idea of the hidden hitch but Im not sure if the rack would clear my bumper with it.

Expert Reply:
The # 24748 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2003 Volkswagen Jetta with a gas turbo engine. You should note that the term Hidden Hitch refers to the brand of hitch and does not necessarily reflect how visible the hitch is.
This hitch will work great with the Thule T2 # TH23JV that you are interested in as well.
