Expert Reply:

We do offer a hitch for the 2015 Golf Sportwagen if it is the TDI model and not a 4-wheel drive(R model). The reason it will not work with non-diesel model Golfs is because the exhaust exits the vehicle right in the center, making it impossible for a trailer hitch.

The hitch is the Curt Round Tube Receiver, part # C11411. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.

We do not have a trailer wiring kit available for the 2015, so you may want to check with your dealership to see if they have any trailer wiring.

If you are planning on towing, I recommend the Curt Ball Mount, part # C45520. For a hitch pin and clip you need part # F-4.

If you need a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball you can order part # C40001, and for a 2 inch hitch ball I recommend part # C40018.
