Comparing the Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for a 2019 VW Jetta
Question:
I have a 2019 Jetta and Im concerned about ground clearance. Do they both have the same distance vertical off the ground? And does one protrude further past the bumper? Also.....do they both have the same tongue weight?

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11540 and Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24978 are both great options for a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta. The main difference between the two is that the Draw-Tite hitch has a hidden crosstube meaning it will have a cleaner install look but will also be harder to install when compared to the Curt hitch. I like the Draw-Tite hitch for these reasons since you only have to install it once.
I don't have specific measurements on either hitch but generally speaking the hitches with hidden crosstubes (Draw-Tite) offer more ground clearance than those with visible crosstubes (Curt). They do however both have the same weight capacities and the length past the bumper should be similar.
