Question:

I cant get your filters to show me a hitch option for 2012 VW Jetta Sportswagen diesel tdi. It takes me to an option for non diesel. It is a wagon and not a sedan too. Can you send me info on one that doesn’t exclude diesel options?

Expert Reply:

We do indeed offer a hitch fit for the 2012 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI Diesel.

You'll want to go with the EcoHitch # 306-X7284. The hitch mounts behind the bumper cover, which conceals the entire hitch except for the receiver tube and the safety chain loops.

I see from some of the customer pictures that the Draw Tite hitch had a downward angle, has that design issue been resolved?

The hitch is designed to fit flush with the trunk spare tire area under the car and present the receiver level with the ground. Also keep in mind that the tongue weight is limited to 200 pounds.
