There are a couple of trailer hitches that are a fit for your 2019 VW Jetta, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11540 and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24978. Both are Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitches, but between the two I strongly recommend going with the Draw-Tite hitch.

The reason for that is the Draw-Tite has a concealed crosstube, which is not only aesthetically superior because you can't see the hitch tube, but it also means you have better ground clearance, to avoid any issues with the hitch possibly hitting when going over a speed bump or something similar. It has also been my experience that Draw-Tite makes the better overall product so if it were my 2019 Volkswagen Jetta, the Draw-Tite # 24978 is easily the hitch I would put on.

Additionally, if you plan on using this hitch for a bike rack, you'll need a Class I compatible hitch and our most popular option due to its combination of quality and price point is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. I've added a link to our entire selection of Class I racks for you to check out. Or if you plan on doing some light towing you'll need T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118791, Ball Mount # 3593, and 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # 19256 or 2" Hitch Ball # 19258 depending on the size of your trailer's coupler. I've added links to some video reviews as well as the instruction manuals for you to take a look at as well.
