Question:
What do you recommend for a hitch for a VW Jetta SPORTWAGEN that’ll be used to carry a 2” bike rack I previously bought on etrailer for another vehicle..a Honda CRV. I see the ones listed on your site for a Jetta BUT didn’t see any reviews, comments about the SPORTWAGEN model.

Hey Dan, for your 2013 Volkswagen Jeta SportWagon we only have Class I hitches like the Curt # C11474. The larger 2 inch hitch size we only have available for larger vehicles with higher towing capacities like trucks and SUVs.
It looks like a while back you ordered the XTC2 bike rack part # S64670 which can fit both hitch sizes actually.

OK…so this hitch won’t work on the 2013 Sportwagen model Jetta? Your site says it fits the Jetta sedan. EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" Part Number: 306-X7311 That was actually my question…will this hitch 306-X7311 fit the Sportwagen model. If not, then I’ll probably go with your Class 1 recommendation and remove the sleeve on my bike rack to use it on a smaller receiver. Thanks!
