Delivery was only a few days and it fit perfectly.
Installed on a 2025 VW Jetta. The exhaust heat shield was located in an area that did not interfere with installation of the trailer hitch, therefore did not need to be removed. Only one exhaust mount at the end of the pipe had to be loosened from the car body.
A straight forward installation.

After a year the trailer hitch is being used often and serving its purpose.

Watch the video and your all set. Only issue I had to deal with was removing those fasteners securing the heat shield. Overall a fairly easy install. Having help when installing the holding the hitch in place makes the job easier. Installed on 24 Jetta SE
Works very well for my bike rack. Installation was super simple and easy to read the instructions.
Much easier to install than the directions for the Drawtite, as you don't have to take off and cut any of the bumper cladding. Just had to add a notch to the plastic that is not normally visible.
Directions are lacking details for my 2021 Jetta, as you don't have to cut much of the plastic, and no mention of the exhaust hanger needing to be in the notch and you have to lift both into place at the same time.

Thanks Ash big Atta girl for your help with link- mechanic loved it
Installation is not too difficult to do on your own with a couple tools and some elbow grease.
I've used this for camping a half dozen times and it's been flawless thus far.
The hitch seems well thought out in design and has worked well on my VW Jetta. The installation instructions were pretty good. I did the entire installation myself, crawling under the car on a garage floor. An extra pair of hands would have made it easier.
Used it many times for bike rack and works great!

Its working out very well for us. We only use it for attaching a bike rack.
Easy installation - approximately one hour. High quality finish on hitch is very durable.
the purchase went very smooth and delivery was right on time will use etrailer again
Does exactly what I wanted it to do. Fit is perfect.
Hitch is perfect. Harder to install than advertised.
Curt trailer hitch fit and bolted right up, no problem. No drilling, no rework.
The Tekonsha wire harness plugged in as advertised and made this wiring simple.
This is my second hitch from etrailer.com, +++
It's worked great!
After watching Utube video I found it very easy to install. Works great for my bike rack. Thanks.
Excellent fit and not a horrible job to do. Hardest part for me was worrying about damaging the heat shield taking it off. No problem, just yank on the attachment washers. They go right back on. Next worry was the bolt fishes. Slick as can be. The bolts just went right in place. You will need another person to hold things in place when you start the attachment nuts as you don't want to mess that part up.
Hitch arrived in undamaged box a day early. The hitch looked like someone had attempted to install it, the paint was in especially bad condition and there were grind marks on the plate next to the muffler location. After painting I found a spacer would be needed at the rear muffler mount, which I needed to fabricate with no mention in the instructions. The hitch is good quality, just disappointed in the condition.

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. There is a washer nut that is removed to allow the exhaust hanger to down. You will need to set it aside and reinstall it once the hitch is installed.
I wish the included instructions weren’t so blurry
Great product and the install was a bre eze!
now the swearing in ceremony begins.
The hitch works just fine, it was recently struck but survived intact
Missing some of the hardware, disappointing, product is high quality.
