Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen  

Question:

Im about to get a new 2014 Jetta Sportwagon, and I need a hitch for it. Some of the reviews of the Curt seem to indicate that it hangs lower than necessary. Do you offer something that rides higher than the others? By how much? Thanks for your help.

Expert Reply:

On all of the available trailer hitches for the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen, the receiver and cross tubing will be fairly low. This is because of the attachment point placement on the VW frame. By design, the hitches have to be that low. On all the models, the top of the receiver tube will be just below the rear fascia. So the Curt Hitch part # C11474 that you referenced sits about as high as any hitch could.

For a ball mount you will want the part # C45520, pin and clip part # F-4, hitch ball # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19258 (2 inch diameter). For wiring, you will need Upgraded Circuit Protected Modulite, # C59236. I have included a link to the installation details below. If using the hitch for any non-trailer load, such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, you must use a support strap, # 18050, per Curt warranty requirements.
