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?

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.
