Question:

2019 VW Jetts S Manual This CURT part number looks like it will fit my vehicle. Is the question about fitment on the page above, indicating not confirmed to fitinch meaning that body panel clearance hasnt been confirmed, or, is it the hole spacing and pattern for body-to-OEM bumper hole alignment the issue? Or is it clearance for reinstalling the OEM bumper rail? I realize that it is a 7500 lb. hitch, and most if not all other systems limit Jetta to 2000 lbs. But I like the looks of this particular part number better. I actually need less than 2000 lb capacity, because I m going to pull a single rail motorcycle trailer and the motorcycle only weighs 450 lbs.

I do have an option for you but there are unfortunately only class I, 1-1/4" trailer hitch options for a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta which is the case for a lot of these smaller sedans since they are not designed for heavy duty pulling or hauling. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11540 as it sits under the bumper for an easy install. If you must have a 2" trailer hitch then you can use an expander with the above like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # e43YR but keep in mind they reduce capacity.

Unfortunately, I can't confirm fit of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for a Volkswagen Touareg. The bumper beam studs are not the same on a Touareg so this would not be able to be made compatible.
