Question:

I have a 2011 VW Jetta SportWagen, and am interested in the Flint Hill Goods 29" x 50" Cargo Carrier w Ramp - 2" Hitch - Aluminum - 500lb # FHG67ZR. I need to transport a lawn mower, do standard cars have the clearance for a cargo carrier?

You can use the Flint Hill Goods 29" x 50" Cargo Carrier w Ramp - 2" Hitch - Aluminum - 500lb # FHG67ZR on your 2011 Volkswagen Jetta if you pair it with the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2"
Item # 306-X7284 because it requires the 2" receiver tube opening of the Hidden Hitch. There shouldn't be any clearance issues with the cargo carrier as it has its closest edge 8-3/4" from the center of the hitch pin hole.

I have attached an install video for the hitch and the carrier for you.
