You're welcome, and I did a little more research. It seems RoadMaster wants to use a cross brace unless the brackets are EZ5, so that'd take me toward BlueOx.
BlueOx was the more "elegant" design, and only lately did RoadMaster start putting out twist-to-lock brackets. It also seems they don't go back and offer updated versions of their legacy brackets like EZ once the vehicles they fit are no longer new/late model. That's probably why your Jetta is stuck at EZ2.
Looking around campgrounds for 15 years, BlueOx owners often would remove the tow hardware completely, drawbars and all. About couldn't tell they hadn't driven the car in separately. RoadMaster owners' cars usually kept crossbar and drawbars, sometimes safety cables. Looked like they had a snowplow frame.
FYI - Don't blame you for not wanting to self-install the base plate. That said, for the few that I've done, the instructions were at such painstaking detail, that I think they made installation look worse than it was. All but the DRILLING, that is... Turn a Bosch Bit with a HF Drill, NOT the opposite!
