Hi, I was wondering what size / model if hitch will I need for 2011 Golf TDI Sportwagon? Either Draw Tite or CURT recommendations would be great. Thanks,

For your 2011 Volkswagen Golf TDI Sportwagen you will want the Curt Class 1 Hitch # C11474 which is a confirmed fit and will work well. I prefer Draw Tite over Curt as Draw Tite does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a bike rack like Curt does.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
