Question:
Hello, I need a 2 hitch for a 2017 VW Golf Station Wagon 4 Motion. The only hitch I found was for Golf R models. Can you please advise which one would fit? Thanks

Wolfgang, it looks like the only hitch we have for your 2017 VW Station Wagon is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11412 which is a class I hitch (1 1/4" receiver).
Since you're needing a 2" receiver you could use a hitch expander # 80303 but that would also cut your capacity by 50 %.

Hey Wolfgang, how did things work out with the Curt hitch and the 1-1/4 to 2-inch adapter on your Golf wagon? Your results could really help others trying to get a 2-inch setup on a similar model.
