Will Thule T2 Pro XTR Bike Rack Fit EcoHitch # 306-X7284 on 2013 VW Jetta SportWagen

Question:

Hope your Monday is off to a nice start. I am curious if this hitch will work with the bike rack I have currently. Looks like I need to have a pin hole depth of 1.5”, a receiver depth of 2.5”, and a bumper clearance of 6.3”. I have the T2 Pro XTR bike rack. Let me know if you need anything else from me.

I went out to our warehouse to take a couple measurements on the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7284 that you referenced and found that its hitch pin hole depth is 1-3/4 inches and the overall receiver depth is 4-1/2 inches, both more than sufficient to allow installation of your Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Rack # TH83JV.

The 2 inch receiver itself will pretty much sit flush with the rear bumper on your VW Jetta SportWagen so bumper clearance won't be an issue either. This durable and sleek 2 inch trailer hitch will work very nicely with your bike rack.
