Most Popular Hitch Expander for 2018 Volkswagen Jetta

Very heavy duty. Will use it with a bike rack I had for another vehicle that had a 2" receiver.

So far, so good. Had to cut into the bumper if my 2011 Jetta in oder to make it work. Here is a picture.

The item was very well built and arrived quickly. The only complaint I have, is a problem I was expecting to have after reading another review, so I don't feel cheated, just a little disappointed: it doesn't really fit a 2013 Jetta Sportswagen with a U-haul branded hitch. It doesn't clear the bumper. The male part the goes into the receiver needs to be just about 1.75" longer (2.00" might be better) to clear the bumper. A suggestion would be to make the male appendage 2" longer and provide two holes so people can use either the shorter or longer extension, depending on how far out they need to go to clear the bumper. (I was able to make it work by chopping off a triangular part off the top part of the unit)

The Curt C45785 1.25 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter seems well-constructed, but does NOT fit the current SPA Volvo OEM 1.25 inch automatic retractable hitch receptacle (mine is on a 2020 V60 Cross country). The lock pin hole doesn't go back far enough to accommodate the pin -- see photo.

Great product from an even greater company. ETRAILER has the knowledge and products to solve most any trailering problem.

Perfect and simple item. It was easy to install. I purchased an accessory with receiver opening of 2” and my jeep had 1 1/4 receiver.

I love it! It’s allowed me to use a 2 inch bike rack on the back of my sedan in a safe manner.
