Question:
Hello. I noticed that EH75SR requires the trimming of rear bumper. I am wondering if trimming is needed for 306-X7376 as well? Thanks!

Hey T, all of the hitches that fit your 2024 Volkswagen GTI do require underbody trimming including the EcoHitch part # 306-X7376 that you referenced. It's basically a standard step now for hitch installs on modern vehicles because of how much lower the rear fascias wrap around the bottom of the vehicle.
