Does Torklift Have A Hitch Receiver That Will Fit My 2015 VW Jetta sedan TDI

Question

Question:

Why is this product not listed as one that will work for the 2015 VW Jetta TDI sedan? Torklift does not differentiate TDI vs non TDI on their website? Thank you

You are correct. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2", part # 306-X7311, is compatible with your 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI. It has a maximum tongue capacity of 300 lbs and a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. With regard to this hitch receiver, just like Torklift, our website does not differentiate between the TDI and the non TDI versions of your 2015 Volkswagen Jetta. It fits both trim levels. We differentiate between other hitch receivers compatibility with your vehicle on our website, but not this one.

I have included a video installation link below.
