Hey guys, Kevin here with the etrailer and today I'll gonna be showing you how to install the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver here on our 2022 Volkswagen Jetta. Typically when you have only a one and a quarter inch receiver opening all you're really gonna be putting in here is your bike racks, your cargo carriers and other hitch mounted accessories. You won't typically be towing a trailer but in the event that you have a small enough trailer maybe you get like a kayak trailer and you need to tow with it, there are safety chain loops already welded onto our hitch right here. You are just going to need to make sure that you go ahead and get your 4-pole wiring so you can transfer your light signals from your Jetta up to that trailer. And if you need help doing that, go ahead and reach out to our experts via the S expert link on every product page and we can help find the correct wiring harness for your vehicle. Now when it comes to capacities, this hitch only has a 2,000 pound gross towing weight capacity and a 200 pound tongue weight capacity so you're gonna really wanna keep that in mind when you're adding on your accessories or trying to tow a trailer. more

Best 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Trailer Hitch Options- Video

So, you have a 2016 Volkswagen Jetta, and you need to get a bike rack, a cargo carrier, maybe even a small trailer, to wherever you need to go. You wanna add some utility to your sedan. Now, there's a few different ways to do that, but really, the tried and true, and I think, safest method, is putting a trailer hitch receiver on a vehicle. Now, I know that sometimes it doesn't seem appealing to put something like that on a Jetta, but, you do have options. As you can see here, a nonvisible cross tube.
