Expert Reply:
I sure can William. The EcoHitch Hidden Hitch item # 306-X7311 weighs 31 lbs. This hitch is custom fit for the sedan models of the 2016 VW Jetta. It fits the models with and without the TDI engine as well and comes with all hardware necessary to complete the installation.
The EcoHitch Hidden Hitch item # 306-X7311 has a 2" receiver which will provide up to a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight of 300 lbs. This hitch will work great for towing a small trailer or hauling an accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier.
I attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what the EcoHitch item # 306-X7311 looks like installed and how to get it set up.
What do you plan on using your new hitch for?
