Draw-Tite Hitch Vs.Curt Hitch on a 2021 Volkswagen Jetta

Question:

I see that there are two options for a hitch on my 2021 VW Jetta. A Draw-Tite and a Curt. They look different, is one better than the other?

The hitch that I would recommend for your 2021 VW Jetta is the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24978. While both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11540 and Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24978 are going to be a great hitch and provide you with a Class I, 1-1/4" hitch the Draw-Tite has two features that separate it from the Curt on your Jetta. The Draw-Tite is confirmed to fit all models of the 2021 Volkswagen Jetta, while the Curt excludes the dual exhaust model. But the biggest difference comes from the style difference you pointed out. The Draw-Tite is going to have a hidden crossbar which is going to provide a much cleaner look than the exposed crossbar style of the Curt. I have included a picture of each hitch installed on a Jetta for you to see for yourself.
