Expert Reply:

There are only Class I trailer hitches available for the 2006 VW Jetta, see link. I recommend the Curt # C11474. The recommended ball mount is # 3593. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256. For a 2 inch ball use # 19258.

This hitch has a 200 pound tongue weight capacity and 2,000 pound gross trailer weight capacity. Be sure to check the vehicle owners manual to determine the towing capacity of the vehicle.

For trailer wiring, use # 118667. I have included a link to the wiring and hitch instructions for you.
