Question:

I am looking at getting a trailer and towing it with my 2013 Jetta sport wagon. Owners manual says the cat had a 2000 lbs max with a 200 lbs max tongue. I see most you offer would fit this but do you have a recommendation of what one and the wiring kit I should get?

Expert Reply:

I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11474 for your 2013 VW Jetta SportWagen. This will require a ball mount like the Curt Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches - 3-1/8" Rise - 9-1/4" Long - 3,500 lbs # C45520, pin and clip # F-4, and hitch ball # C40018 for 2 inch diameter or # C40001 for 1-7/8 inch diameter to match your trailer coupler.

For the wiring, I recommend the Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite with 4-Pole Flat, Hardwire Kit, and Circuit Tester # C59236.
