Features to know about

Keep a Clean Look While Adding Utility: Hidden Cross Tube Design

You can keep your vehicle’s rear looking clean and uncluttered while still adding real utility. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver tucks its cross tube behind the bumper so only the 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver shows underneath. It gives you a factory-style appearance without drilling or welding. You get the capability of a Class II hitch rated for 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 300 lbs tongue weight, all without changing the look of your vehicle.

Lightweight Strength That Lasts: Alloy Construction with Powder Coat Finish

This hitch is built from a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. The alloy keeps it strong but lightweight, and the black powder coat finish helps block rust and corrosion from road salt or humidity. Each hitch is tested using Finite Elemental Analysis to meet SAE J684 towing safety standards, so you can count on it to stay solid through years of towing or carrying gear.

Make Every Trip Easier: Tow, Carry Bikes, or Add Cargo Storage

With the 1-1/4" receiver you can hook up a small trailer, mount a bike rack, or attach a cargo carrier for weekend trips or daily hauling. The Class II rating gives you more flexibility than lighter-duty hitches, making it easy to bring bikes for the family or extra gear for work without overloading your setup.

Installation was straightforward and instructions were clearly written. I will say that one of the bolts needed to bolt to chassis was very hard to get in and it seemed to be due to the hole being just barely too small. It was close enough that i was still able to install it. Instructions could have been more clearly printed, as the pictures were not very easy to see. The product itself has been amazing otherwise and looks super clean on my '17 GTI. Highly recommend!

I believe this is a weld nut issue. Sometimes debris and rust can fill the weld nut making it seem small. Heavy cleaning with a lubricant and wire brush will fix the problem. Sometimes tapping it out is needed. Here is a help article regarding this:

A few years ago I installed a Curt trailer hitch on my VW GTi. It was the only hitch available for my car at the time, it was easy to install, and served well. It did, however, hang a little lower than I preferred and was known to drag.
This past Winter I bought myself a Christmas present: an Eco-Hitch hidden receiver hitch and installed it in late April. (Too cold for working in the driveway up to that point.) It was a way more involved installation than the previous hitch and took me pretty much all afternoon. Fortunately there are both print and video installation guides available.
The results are worth it. The new hitch is naturally braced in multiple planes and pretty much does not sway. It sits a few inches higher, so the dragging problem is gone. If I were starting from scratch I would buy both the hitch and the bike rack in 2”. My otherwise very nice 1-1/4” Kuat rack does twist some on bumpy roads and the larger rack body should pretty much eliminate that.
You should also be aware that you will lose the foam spacer that protects your rear bumper from minor damage. Not a big deal for me but for others, who knows? FYI.
Service, as always from etrailer.com , was quick and installation support excellent. If you’re in the market check them out.

I installed this on my wife's 2015 Golf TDI 4 years ago and LOVE IT! The install is a little more involved than some others, but this thing is FAR sturdier, FAR nicer looking, and fits perfectly. With it installed and no drawbar inserted, it's almost like it isn't there at all. After 4 years and 80,000 miles, this thing still looks like new after repeated use. We've used a small aluminum hitch basket and towed both a 4x6 Lowe's trailer and now an Alma 4.5x8' utility trailer frequently.

Self installed this only off the instructions provided, no additional help needed. Quality instructions and well thought out. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking to mount a light duty hitch on a VW Golf.

Does not fit very well. Had to make a few modifications to both my metal bumper support and also to the hitch receiver. Supporting bars on reciever were slightly bent when I received it. Luckily I have a big impact gun and torch

Installed the ecohitch 306-X7310 on my Son's 2016 VW Golf GTI. The installation was made easy by the detailed instructions included in the box and the link to an installation video for visual reference. I will recommend E-trailer to anyone who asks about my hitch. Thank you.

  • 2020 Volkswagen GTI EcoHitch Compatibility
    Hi Vicki, I wish I had better news, but the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver you have on your 2016 VW GTI, part # 306-X7310, will not fit your 2020 GTI. That hitch is designed for the 2015 through 2017 Golf GTI models. For your 2020 VW GTI, the EcoHitch option with the 1-1/4 inch receiver is part # 306-X7376. It has the same nice hidden design you like, but it is specifically designed to fit the 2020 GTI. I know it would have been nice to simply move the hitch you already have over...

  • Trailer Hitch Options for 2015 Volkswagen GTI
    Hey Matthew, we do have hitches that fit your 2015 Volkswagen GTI but they are under the Golf model and then from there the submodel GTI so my apologies for making that harder to find. So we have really standard hitch options like the Curt part # C11412 which hangs completely below the rear bumper, we have the Ecohitch part # 306-X7310 which only has the opening that hangs below the rear bumper, or we even have the removable Stealth # SH69ZR that has a lower assembly that can be totally...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI
    For your 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI, we have the # 306-X7309, # C11412& the # 306-X7310 however I recommend going with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH69ZR out of all the hitches offered for your vehicle. This is going to be the only hitch that has a 2" receiver, has a completely hidden design, and is made in the USA. The receiver on this hitch can only be used with hitch mounted accessories and shouldn't be used to tow anything, so if you needed to tow you'd also need the...

  • What Is The Difference Between The Class I and Class II Receivers When Using A Bike Rack On VW Golf?
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11412 and the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7310 do share some characteristics but there are some important differences as well. Both receivers have the same 2,000lbs trailer capacity rating and have a 1-1/4" receiver tube. The EcoHitch is rated for a higher amount of tongue weight at 300lbs versus the Curt at 200lbs. The most important difference is that with a class I receiver like the Curt you are only allowed to use class I accessories...

  • Hidden Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI
    I do have some trailer hitches that are hidden for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI but # 306-X7332 will not fit. I recommend going with the EcoHitch # 306-X7310. Once this hitch is installed only the receiver will be visible. This is a 1-1/4 inch Class I trailer hitches. If you want a 2 inch hitch then I recommend # 306-X7309 instead. If you go with the 2-inch, you will have more accessories to choose from. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier...

  • Trailer Hitch Ground Clearance for 2016 VW Golf GTI
    Both the EcoHitch # 306-X7310 and the Curt # C11412 are great options for a trailer hitch for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI. The EcoHitch features 13 inches of ground clearance measured from the bottom of the receiver to the ground. I don't have an exact measurement for the Curt hitch, but the Curt seems to sit a bit lower from the frame. Unless you plan on using this hitch with 1-1/4 hitch accessories exclusively, I recommend going with the EcoHitch # 306-X7309 instead as a 2-inch receiver...

  • Recommended EcoHitch Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI
    No, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7332 you're looking at will not fit your Volkswagen Golf GTI. This hitch is only designed to be used with the R models, so for your GTI you'd want to use # 306-X7310 instead. The only difference between this hitch and the one you were looking at is the receiver size. This hitch has a 1 1/4" class II receiver, while the # 306-X7332 you originally looked at has a 2" receiver.

  • Will Draw-Tite or EcoHitch Have More Clearance Than the Curt on a 2015 Volkswagen Golf
    Although we didn't have a chance to install the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11412 that you currently own on a 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI, I can say that we installed the EcoHitch # 306-X7310 that has a 1-1/4" receiver and found that from the ground to the top of the inside of the receiver it measures 12". This should provide some extra clearance, but you can verify exactly how much by taking this same measurement and comparing it to your current Curt receiver location. If you have an adapter...

  • Is EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch A Class II Hitch for 2017 VW Golf?
    I am happy to confirm for you that the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7310 is, in fact, a Class II hitch! That means you can carry three bikes with your Thule bike rack on your 2017 VW Golf whenever you like. I have added a link to a video of this hitch being installed on a '17 Golf for you to check out as well.

    The 1-1/4" EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7310 fits all trims levels for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf except the R. It will fit your Golf TSI Highline. It is also available with a 2" Receiver # 306-X7309 that will fit with a larger variety of hitch mounted accessories. I recommend installing the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118646 when you install the receiver.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for 2017 Volkswagen Golf with 4 inch Rise
    Based on the dimensions you listed the correct amount of rise you need from a ball mount is 6 inches. Since the EcoHitch part # 306-X7310 is a 1-1/4 inch hitch you'd want the ball mount # BR39FR and you'd be set. For a hitch ball you'd want part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

  • How to Carry 3 Bikes on 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf Convertible
    While you can carry a trio of bikes on your 2015 Volkswagen e-Golf convertible, there is no way to use a trunk-mounted bike rack on the vehicle, so to carry three bikes you will need to add a trailer hitch receiver and 3-bike rack. For the hitch receiver, there are two options from EcoHitch, with the only difference being the receiver size; one with a 1-1/4" receiver # 306-X7310, or my recommended option, the 2" receiver EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7309.

  • Parts Needed to Tow Small Trailer with 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI
    A Class II or Class III is always better than a Class I simply because of the strength rating of the hitches but if your trailer and boat only weigh 200 lbs combined then the Curt # C11412 trailer hitch will work just fine for towing with your 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI. To complete your towing setup, you also need the Wiring # 119250KIT, a Ball Mount # C45521, and either a 1-7/8" # 19256 or 2" # 19258 hitch ball depending on what size coupler your trailer has.

  • Will EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2011 Volkswagen Golf TDI
    The EcoHitch # 306-X7310 is designed to fit the 2015-2017 VW Golf TDI. It will not fit your 2011 model. For a hitch that fits your 2011 VW Golf TDI I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24825. This Class I hitch features a bolt-on installation and has a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a max tongue weight of 200 lbs and max gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2016 VW Golf TDI for Ease of Install
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11412 is a little easier to install than the EcoHitch # 306-X7310 on your 2016 VW Golf TDI. It is the easiest installation of the compatible hitches, and the quality is the same. If you are using it for a bike rack or other accessory, Curt's warranty will require use of the stability strap # 18050. That really is the biggest difference.

    The EcoHitch Hidded Trailer Hitch part # 306-X7310 is a fit for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf TDI and would be a great choice. For a bike rack solution, I prefer a hitch rack to a roof rack as it puts the bikes in an easier to load/unload position and also gets them out of the direct wind on the roof. For a bike rack I really like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR. This is a platform bike rack that only weighs 20 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always...

  • Can the EcoHitch # 306-X7310 be Used to Tow with a 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI
    The EcoHitch # 306-X7310 has a 2,000 lb trailer weight rating and a max tongue weight rating of 200 lbs. As long as your loaded trailer motorcycle doesn't exceed these limits you can use this trailer hitch for your trailer. Something else you will need to check out is the weight capacity of your 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI itself. You should be able to find this on the door jamb of your driver's side door. You also need wiring and a ball mount with a hitch ball to complete your towing setup....

If you are looking for a concealed cross tube so the only portion of the hitch that is visible once installed is the receiver tube I recommend EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7310 which is a confirmed fit for the GTI. This is the only concealed cross tube option that is a fit for the GTI at this time (December 2019)....
