Question:

What is the distance from the bumper edge to hitch center hole? The bike rack I have says it can’t be longer than 7in. This would be on a 2016 Jetta gli. Also, is the curt one the same distance? Thanks!

The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24926 has a measurement of 4-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer bumper. This will allow your bike rack to fit well and not make contact with your bumper. I've attached a video to further assist with installation and fit. You will want to make sure your bike rack is class 1 compatible as this hitch will have about 1-5/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the welded stop in the back of the hitch receiver tube.

The similar Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11474 will be 5 inches to the center of the hitch pin from the outer bumper. This hitch won't have the weld stop but will require the stability strap # 18050 to help support the bike carrier.
