Question:
What trailer wiring harness do you recommend for my 2018 VW Golf Sportwagen?
asked by: Anna M
Expert Reply:
The trailer wiring harness I recommend for your 2018 VW Golf SportWagen is the ZCI Wiring Harness # 119250KIT because it uses sensors which clamp onto your VW's wires to detect when the wires have current.
What this means is that you do not have to cut or even splice into your Golf's wires when you are installing the harness, protecting them from any potential damage; you can see how it clamps on in the accompanying photo.
For a trailer hitch that fits your '18 Golf SportWagen I strongly recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7315. This is the best hitch for your VW because not only does it give your car a completely hidden cross tube but also because it is the only hitch available with a 2 inch receiver. This is important because a 2 inch receiver will give you more options to use accessories like bike racks than you would if you used a hitch that has a 1-1/4 inch receiver.
