The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7315, Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11422 and Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24949 all install the same on a 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack all install the same and have a concealed cross tube design. However, The EcoHitch is the best option because it has a 2" receiver opening compared to the other hitch options 1-1/4" opening. The 2" receiver is more versatile when it comes to the number of accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers available that are compatible.
