Hello. I am wanting to install a trailer hitch on my 2019 VW Jetta. Honestly just want a sturdy unit that's going to be easiest to install. Not too concerned with appearance, etc. Hoping you could recommend the right one. Thanks.

For your 2019 VW Jetta I highly recommend the Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C11540. This custom hitch offers a much simpler install process than the Draw-Tite alternative, as it's going to line right up to existing holes in the vehicle's frame rails for a bolt-on (no-drill) installation. Some heat shield and fascia trimming will be required as well, but these are pretty minor modifications.

The hitch itself features a 2,000 pound towing weight capacity and a 200 pound tongue weight limit. All the necessary hardware will be included.

I have attached the full written installation manual below that you can also look through.
