I need to pull a Little Guy Silver Shadow 5 x 10 trailer with the above-mentioned hitch. The trailer weighs 900 lbs., requires a 2 ball and has a 7-way plug. My 2011 JSW does not have LED taillights. my new car does NOT have LED taillights, but the Little Guy trailer DOES HAVE LED lights. See website: Golittleguy.com or Littleguyworldwide.com Thank you so much!

Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch # C11474 that you referenced would be the correct hitch for your 2011 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen. This hitch comes with a drawbar, pin and clip included. I attached installation instructions and an installation video for you to check out also. You would also want a Hitch Ball with 2 inch Diameter and Short Shank # 19258.
For wiring I would recommend Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # C59496. This kit should work well on your Jetta that has incandescent lights and your trailer with LED lights.
