Hey Trevor. To add a hitch to a 2022 VW Jetta, you'll need the Curt item # C11540. This is a custom fit class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. I checked with our vendors and this is the only hitch available for a 2022 Jetta.
The Curt item # C11540 hitch has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. It comes with all hardware necessary to complete the installation. Please note it will not fit the models with dual exhaust.
If you're going to be towing a trailer or adding lights to an accessory like a bike rack, you'll also need the Curt Wiring Harness item # C63DQ.
What do you plan on using your new hitch for? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.
