Thanks for reaching out, Christopher!

The only mass-produced hitch that I can see designed for your 2014 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen is the Curt Class I Hitch Receiver # C11474. In order to get a larger Class III hitch with a 2" receiver you're going to have to have a shop fabricate something for you, unfortunately.

If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I'd be happy to see if we have any alternative options to help you out!
