Helpful Expert Reply:
The Alltrack is a version of the 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. Curt and Draw-Tite indicate that their hitches fit all models of the 2017 SportWagen. So I recommend Draw-Tite hitch # 24949 since it does not have special requirements for using a bike rack or cargo carrier like the Curt hitch does.
The recommended ball mount for this hitch is # 3590. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19257 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. The trailer wiring harness # 118730 is also listed as a fit for all models of the 2017 SportWagen and will provide a 4-Way flat connector at the rear of the vehicle.
