Cutout Dimensions for Draw-Tite and EcoHitch for 2019 Volkswagen Golf R  

Question:

I have a 2019 Volkswagen Golf R and I'm wanting to install a hitch on this to use an old bike rack I have with a 1-1/4" shank. I noticed that the EcoHitch requires some trimming of the fascia. How much does it require that I cut?

Expert Reply:

As you mentioned, the EcoHitch # 306-X7332 requires you to trim the fascia for installation.The cutout required to install the EcoHitch is 3-1/4” wide x 3” tall.

There is also a 2" EcoHitch # 306-X7333 available for the 2019 VW Golf R that requires a 4-1/4” wide x 3” tall cutout.

If you are interested in upgrading your current bike rack, the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT # TH92BJ is a great option that provides the easy loading ability of a platform rack at a great price point. The Doubletrack can be used in either 1-1/4" or 2" hitch receivers and comes with both locks for the bikes and the rack for added security.
