This fully welded, corrosion-resistant vehicle trailer hitch receiver is perfect for your light-duty towing needs. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. Drawbar sold separately.
Features:
Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers.

Great customer service, extremely fast shipping ordered Tuesday night had it on Thrusday. Everything was exactly as described great company.
recived in great shape ,went on as it was supose too looks good . I havent used it yet but no reason yo belive it wont work well .
Easy install, did require drilling, etc as per the instructions, but fit perfect, looks great. Includes the ball mount, but remember to order a ball. 2005 VW Jetta TDI Sedan
Excellent productInstallation was not tough. Seems well made.
Have a NEW drill bit on hand to make your life easier when drilling into the car body!
I have installed 3 of these hitches on MkIV Jettas and Golfs for customers at my shop, and on my own car. They are well made, install with no headaches, and etrailer has always been great to do business with.
It does fit a Gas TurboI have a 2002 Jetta 1.8 Turbo. It will show the hitch underneath so it is not hidden, but I am pleased with this hitch. Jack up the left side before you drill so the holes match up. They don't explain that. I also did not have to drop the exhaust. It was pretty simple and I am very pleased with it.
Everything was there, ahead of time (I paid for 3day shipping)
Video was good preparation, installation went without a hitch! No wait a minute, the hitch installed without a glitch!
The hitch was delivered in a timely manner. The hitch was protruding outside the shipping box. Paint was chipped in several spots. I went ahead and installed it anyway and just touched up the black paint. I did install very nice.
Was a great pleasure doing business with etrailer. Item was shipped ground, but got here real quick. I would recommend using etrailer to anyone, I will order again when I have a need to. Item was packed neat with all items I ordered. Recurred all hardware and did not have to provide anything but time, drill, drill bit, socket, and tq wrench. Everything was to my satisfaction and instructions were very user friendly. If you like to read your instructions those are provided or if you prefer a diagram that is also provided.
Great company to do business with.
great product, FAST shipping!!!, great communicati and updates through email. overall service was awesome!!!
I was very pleased with the product quality and shipping time. I only have a few comments for installation instructions.
1) For the DIY'r, use a floor jack to help hold up the unite while you get your first bolts started.
2) Loosening up the exhaust pipe hangar will allow easier access to drill holes on the driver side.
3) Some means of getting the wiring kit outside tha car is not suggested. I just hung my out of the trunk lid when in use. Maybe a better design to allow the extension to exit the inside of the car.
Not factory condition on delivery. However, it was in "Almost new" condition. Product was lightly scratched and some paint was scuffed off. No obvious signs of damage, and the welds are solid.
This product easily fit on, and came with mounting instructions for my 2004 MK-IV VW Jetta (2.0 BBW engine code model). The instructions aren't exact, as the BBW is a specialty model, but they are still close enough. It's a bit close to the muffler on this model and is a little tedious to install, but it isn't hard. The muffler also points down and has more than enough clearance, so its no bother.
Overall install time was roughly the same as other reviewers, 40 min ~ 1 Hour. Drilling the holes and lining the framework up properly was the part that took me the longest. But then again, I'm anal about such things.
Overall, I'm satisfied with this product.
Great product and super fast shipping! By myself it took 45min. Pulls my 4wheeler great and feels sturdy enough for me to be comfortable with it. Time will tell how well it will last but for now I'm a happy customer, and I plan on using etrailer in the future!
It was a easy install. Very solid product. Using it to tow my motorcycle trailer.
Fit and finish great, took about 3 hrs to install the hitch and about 2 hrs for the wiring.
Shipping and service spot on.
I would recommend both items just adjust the time to install the hitch.
I have not actually installed the product as of yet the but the construction looks very high quality and the attachment design is the best ive seen for my vehicle(BS in Mechanical Engineering USF). my main praise for this purchase is the customer service. emails letting you know exactly what is going on with your order and who to call for questions or concerns at every stage on upto and after delivery. I like to be informed when I purchase something and etrailer did not dissapoint. with this level of service on the front end i can't imagine there be a problem they wont resolve down the road.

I dont baby the hitch by any means. It has performed flawlessly.
It arrived quick & in good order via UPS. It's a quality built hitch. This is my second time for installing a hitch on a VW Jetta IV body. So, Installation was straight forward. Directions were good. I'm very please with it. E-trailer does a good job having direct links on their website to specific fit accessory items (trailer light wire harness, drawbar, ball hitch, etc).
Very satisfied sturdy product . Easy to install The key to the easy install is the one existing bolt near the tow hook ...45 minutes to install.Fantastic product thank you

Dont use often but when I do it works great
it would be better if this hitch was designed so the hitch retaining pin was not in the way of where your safety chain hook on not very much thought went into this design
Just finished installing a hitch on a 2002 VW Jetta TDI. Watched the video and got it done in I'd guess about 40 minutes to an hour. The hardest part was unloading the trunk. :) I have two words of advice. 1) use a jack or jack stand to help hold the hitch in order to mark the holes. 2) use a punch (nail, anything) to make a dent in the medal and then drill from the top down. (it's easier from the top, just BE SURE a jack is firmly holding the hitch in place as you drill.) way easier than trying to find a foot-long 1/2" bit to reach from below the exhaust system or to un-hang it and/or jack up the car.
My second draw tite receiver and I love it. I pull a 4x8 trailer and barely notice it's on the car. Installation was easy, just follow the tutorial from etrailer!
