2-inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack

Question

Question:

Hi, Im looking for a hitch for my 2018 VW Golf Alltrack. You show that the Torklift Ecohitch is compatible with my car, but Torklift says they havent test fitted the 2018 Alltrack with this hitch yet. Can you confirm that the Torklift Ecohitch x7315 is compatible with my 2018 VW 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 drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
