Features to know about

Keep the Factory Look: Hidden Cross Tube Design

A lot of hitches look bulky or hang low, but this one keeps things clean. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver tucks its cross tube behind the bumper so only the 2" x 2" receiver shows. You keep a sleek, factory-style appearance without giving up utility. It’s a bolt-on setup with no drilling or welding, so installation stays straightforward while keeping the lines of your vehicle intact.

Strong and Ready for Daily Use: Alloy Construction with 2,000 lbs GTW and 300 lbs TW

This hitch is built from an alloy of aluminum, steel, and stainless steel — strong, lightweight, and durable enough for regular towing or carrying racks. With a 2,000 lb maximum gross trailer weight and 300 lb maximum tongue weight, it’s rated for small trailers, cargo baskets, or bike racks without issue. The combination of metals adds strength where you need it while keeping overall weight down.

Long-Lasting Protection: Powder Coat Finish Resists Rust

The black powder coat finish stands up to weather and road grime so the hitch keeps looking good after years of use. It’s designed to prevent rust and corrosion under tough conditions, whether you tow occasionally or keep a rack on full time. The concealed design also helps protect the cross tube from exposure to the elements.

Eco-Conscious Engineering: Recycled Alloy Material

The metal alloy used in this hitch is made from recycled materials to lower manufacturing impact. You still get the durability and strength expected from a high-quality hitch while helping reduce waste in production. It’s a solid piece of gear with an environmentally friendly twist that doesn’t compromise on performance.

You did a great job, it looks awesome! I see you have a bike rack in one of the pictures. What kind of biking do you do?

by:
The installation of the hitch on my '17 AllTrack was fairly straight forward with a couple of caveats. The Instructions did not address the parking sensors on the sides, or the harness plug behind the bumper cover. There was also considerably more trimming required than what was referenced in the instructions, both width, and depth. The instructions covered both their 1 1/4" and 2" receivers. Finally, there was no tool list in the instructions. Thankfully etrailer had a comprehensive video on how to do it that I was able to follow along with. Total time from start to finish, including jacking the rear of the car up and taking the wheels off, and polishing my exhaust tips, was just over two hours. The craftsmanship of the hitch is great and if the instructions were more clear I would have given it five stars.

I have used the hitch extensively for hauling mountain bikes all over kingdom come. It has performed flawlessly. I continue to be very happy with my purchase.

by:
Great product, fast shipping, super easy to install; there are videos that walk you through the install process every step of the way. The hitch fits perfectly behind the bumper. I use the hitch for a tandem bicycle rack. I have a friend that also has a VW sportwagen and tows a camping trailer.

Great, still functioning as expected. Holds a bike rack and a tandem bike perfectly. Another friend of mine uses it to tow a small camper. Easy to install.

by:
Installation was easy and i like how sturdy the hitch is mounted, great workmanship on the product it self (welds,squareness,sharp edges,etc.)
Definitely would recommend this to anyone looking for a solid 2'' hitch.
My only recommendation to anyone that is installing it don't do it outside when its cold because you could break some of the clips while removing your bumper.

2nd kit from this team, upgrade for my new car. It works great, the product is well made and instructions with videos make it simple to follow. Picked up a rubber cover to close the opening when not in use. Happy with it on my mk7 golf.
by:
Installed on a 2016 VW Sportwagen TSI. Very happy with my purchase. The product seems generally well-made with solid welds and a decently thick coat of paint.

The installation instructions were clear enough for me to follow easily (and there are several supplemental instructional videos that exist on the web for those who want some extra guidance). I did the job by myself in my driveway without removing the rear wheels or jacking my car up. As others have said, the most difficult part was cutting the hole in the black plastic part of my bumper panel. The funny thing about these cars is that a hole already exists on the underside of the bumper panel (courtesy of the European version of the vehicle, which could be optioned with a hitch from the factory), it just needs to be expanded to fit the girth of this particular hitch receiver. But after some creative trim work with a Dremel, I ended up getting a really good fitment.

I use the hitch receiver to carry a Thule T2 2-bike platform rack. Since installing about a year ago, I've taken several 1000+ mile road trips, loaded up with various bikes. No concerns - the hitch receiver has been very solid. Attached a before and after pic, and one with the bike rack installed too.

Note: I did not buy the accompanying wiring harness since I only use the hitch to carry my bike rack, no trailer towing.

Being a VW lover can have it's ups and downs, and the Golf Alltrack has a formitible obstacle that must be cut off to install this excellent tow mount.This hitch was very well designed and a breeze to install aside from the lower bumper trimming that is 100% necessary to install on this car. The rear bumper skin must come off and you must take some sort of Saw to trim a small square from the lower section where the receiver will ultimately live. I used an airsaw to get the job done. The finished install looks factory and has more than enough strength to support my very large 4 bike rack filled full of adult bikes.

I've had the hitch on my 2018 VW Alltrack for over a year now and have nothing but positive things to say. Installation was pretty easy for my brother and I. It would have probably been harder, but doable with one person but I would recommend a second person to help. The instructions were just okay, but we managed to figure it all out. Cutting the trim was intimidating, but ended up being pretty easy as well. I didn't know what to use so I ended up using a small dry-wall saw which did a surprisingly good job. Once installed, I have used it many times to mount my bike rack and it works as you would expect.

2017 Subaru Outback Wagon
I installed this 2" receiver hitch on my 2017 VW Golf Alltrack for the purpose of carrying bicycles with a Thule T2 rack. I used the T2 on my previous vehicle (Subaru Outback XT) as well, but with a different receiver hitch.

The Ecohitch itself is very burly and feels like it could stand up to anything. It also looks good and has a nice, custom, stealthy look on the Alltrack.

The install took two of us 5 hours, mostly because of cutting the trim. We left the rear wheels on the vehicle. Removing all the screws was pretty easy - just make sure you keep them in a container, as there are many. Peeling back the sides of the bumper and releasing the clips was a bit scary because it felt like you could crack the plastic. Just go slowly and look for where it's attached before yanking. Aside from that, the bumper came off without a hitch (pun intended).

Taking off the impact bar, attaching the hitch, and reinstalling the pair was relatively easy. The biggest challenge came when we needed to cut the lower part of the bumper trim to fit around the hitch. The square receiver hitch opening is 3" across, but the neck behind it is smaller. We tried to cut the opening as small as possible and wedge the bumper back on. The tow hook flange on the hitch made this difficult. We had to make several small cuts to get it just right, which took a lot of time.

Once on, the hitch looks and performs excellent. I definitely recommend it. Just leave yourself a decent amount of time for the install. If we did another one, the time would be about half what it took us.

Hitch is very strong and well engineered. However, it is a difficult install process. 10/10 difficulty means tail lights out (easy), rear bumper off (I needed to remove both rear wheels and put the car on jack stands to get to the bolts in the wheel wells). Then, the crash bar needs to be taken off (easy), then bumper needs to be trimmed (this took me three times to trim enough to fit the hitch), followed by everything back together. It took me about 3:30 to install, but next time it would probably be a 2 hour job. In my opinion, worth it to save the $300 two shops quoted. Only reason not a 5 star review is the difficulty with install

Overall excellent product. After a year of use, it has been a great addition to my car for light towing and bike racks. It fits really well in the rear bumper of the Alltrack and is higher than a lot of hitches for cars which is really nice. Install wasn't all that hard, but it does take time but all said and done I would do it again. 10/10 would recommend.

The install process for me was about 4 hours but that was including adding a wiring harness and I would recommend if you are going to install a harness you do it at the same time as it's easier to run the wires at that time.
The included instruction and vid on line do a good job. The biggest slowdown I found was cutting the hole in the bumper. I would recommend removing the black cover plate from the bumper then trimming and reinstalling it at the end when everything is back in. The reason being if you cut the hole a little wide that will cover some of it up. The hole size they give is larger then needed. I found 3" with a bit wider at the bottom worked.
Overall it's a good fitting and well made hitch. If they included a template for the cutout I'd give them 5 out of 5.

Installed the 2" Ecohitch on my 2019 VW Alltrack SE w/ Appearance Package. Overall quality of the product is excellent. The coating on the hitch appears to be applied generously and should stand up to the elements just fine. The hitch does require trimming of the lower bumper insert, but it is well worth the outcome. The hitch mounts flush with the rear bumper and does not jeopardize the rear clearance or look of the vehicle, like a number of conventional hitch mounts.

2018 VW Golf Alltrack. Great product. Well constructed and durable. Worth the extra cost for a much better hitch. Only issue was an interference between the upper left bracket. Had to make a hole and bend up the metal locally to get the bracket to fit and bolts to line up. One of the plastic bumper tabs cracked. Repaired with epoxy. Try to be as careful as possible taking the bumper off. Also applied rust proofing while the bumper was off.

Great product. One of the few if not the only 2" trailer hitch for our 2016 VW Golf Sport wagon.
Product came on time, in perfect condition and with detailed step by step instructions that made installation a breeze, including taking off and putting back the bumper.
Took less than an hour from start to finish.

As opposed to my last "Hidden Hitch" on my old minivan, which bottomed out every time I hit a bump or pulled out of my driveway, this one is truly a hidden hitch. Only the receiver sticks out of my bumper. With the help of the instructions and a friend who has his own lift in his garage, we installed it in about 2 hours. And we only broke one of the plastic snaps on my bumper, but fixed that with a little epoxy.

Great hitch, but expect the install to be a PITA, especially if done solo. Install instructions were good, however the fascia will need trimming on 2018 models as well, not just 2019 as described. The whole job including the bumper uninstall/re-install took around 4hrs by myself, however I also coated the hitch and impact bar with rust preventative which probably took an extra hour. Satisfied overall, but definitely get an extra set of hands if you can.

Install took about 2 hours but I wasted about 20 minutes getting the bumper cover back on squarely. Install is pretty straight forward. I didn't use the reverse bolt method and it was fine. The only issue is that the measurements for the bumper cover trimming are not good. 3.75 inches makes a lopsided hole and my OCD doesn't like it. I also knew in advance that I needed to trim a wing for the chain hooks. Also, I needed to bend down some sheet metal on the left side of where the bumper attaches to make a clean fit (pictured). Nice product, easy, but lengthy install. I recommend.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2015 VW Golf TDI
    Hey Thomas. For your 2015 VW Golf TDI, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7315. This hitch is custom fit for the S, SE, or SEL models. They didn't put the TDI engines in the R or GTI models. The EcoHitch item # 306-X7315 is going to be the best option for your Golf TDI. It's the only hitch available that has a 2" receiver so it'll give you the most options for accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. This hitch is custom fit and comes with all necessary installation....

    Hello Syd, thanks for reaching out. The EcoHitch # 306-X7315 for the 2015 VW Sportwagen TDI has a 2,000 lb towing capacity. So this would absolutely be suitable for a 380 lb motorcycle trailer and two bikes. As long as the combined weight of the trailer and both scooters is less than 2,000 lbs you will be fine. It sounds like you will be well under 2,000 lbs so the # 306-X7315 will work well for you. If you intend to tow a trailer you will also need the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter...

    The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7315, Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11422 and Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24949 all install the same on a 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack all install the same and have a concealed cross tube design. However, The EcoHitch is the best option because it has a 2" receiver opening compared to the other hitch options 1-1/4" opening. The 2" receiver is more versatile when it comes to the number of accessories like...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen
    I recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7315 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen because it is the only trailer hitch option that comes with a 2" receiver. This is important because a 2" receiver is compatible with a lot more accessories than a 1-1/4" receiver is. The EcoHitch is also designed with a hidden crosstube so that the only part you can see is the receiver - giving you a clean look after the install. Then for wiring I highly recommend the ZCI Wiring Kit # 119250KIT because it draws power...

I have attached an image from the instructions to assist as well. All the necessary hardware for this hitch is included.

  • Benefit of Using EcoHitch Over Draw-Tite or Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
    I definitely see where you are coming from in regards to pricing vs the larger hitch receiver for your 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. There are quite a few bike racks that are compatible with the Draw-Tite # 24949 and Curt # C11422 1-1/4" hitch receivers but you can use a lot more accessories with the EcoHitch # 306-X7315. Whenever the 2" option is available for a vehicle we recommend going with it because your short term plan is using it for a bike rack, but the larger receiver will come...

  • Benefits of Using TorkLift EcoHitch vs Draw-Tite and Curt on 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
    The Class III TorkLift EcoHitch # 306-X7315 is the one that offers a 2-inch receiver opening, rather than the 1-1/4-inch receivers found on the Class I hitches from Draw-Tite and Curt, parts # 24949 and # C11422 Although the weight capacity of all three hitches is very similar the EcoHitch has a slight advantage with a 300-lbs tongue weight versus the 200-lbs tongue weight and 2000-lbs towing offered on the others, if you already own 2-inch accessories such as a bike rack or cargo carrier...

  • 2-inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
    Based on other hitch manufacturers who carried over their hitch fits from the 2017 to the 2018 models we know that the Ecohitch part # 306-X7315 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 119250KIT which is a zero-splice kit. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch...

  • Can Saris Bones EX Hold 3 Bikes on 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
    I haven't heard or people having to remove the front wheels when placing bikes on the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803 but it wouldn't surprise me if that's something people have ended up having to do. Hanging style racks like this are notorious for making it difficult to install multiple bikes on so it ends up just being the nature of the beast. You should be able to alternate the way the bikes are facing and be able to wiggle them in to fit on the rack. If you'd like a rack that has...

  • Loaded Trailer Hitch on 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack Flexes and Makes a Lot of Noise
    Trailer hitches have to be able to flex. They all do. They absorb stress and flex back into position when that stress is relieved. The noise you are hearing is likely something rubbing against the hitch. The Draw-Tite hitch # 24949 is almost completely hidden from access though without removing the rear fascia. It would be worth checking though to make sure all the bolts are torqued down to the specs indicated in the instructions. You could also push down on the receiver to simulate a...

  • Hitch for Carrying a Bike Rack with a 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack SE
    The trailer hitches that install behind the bumper are always intimidating because of sensors that can be located there. We typically recommend having a shop perform the installation unless you are really comfortable at working on cars because of how involved it is so having it professionally installed is a great idea! Please note that the owner's manual does say that a trailer hitch should not be installed on your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack so the decision will need to be yours when...
