Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Installation - 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen

Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sport wagon, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Draw-Tite class one trailer hitch receiver.Now what I really like about this hitch and what kind of sets it a part from some of the others is the appearance. It's going to be hardly noticeable and give you that nice clean factory look. The hitch is going to have a inch and a quarter by inch and a quarter receiver tube opening. Which is going to work perfect especially if you already have class one accessories. That's also going to have the half inch size pin hole.

Volkswagen Golf SportWagen Trailer Hitch Questions and Answers

• Does EcoHitch # 306-X7315 Fit 2019 VW Sportwagen S 4Motion
  
• The EcoHitch part # 306-X7315 that you referenced does fit the 4Motion S versions of the 2019 VW Sportwagen S like you have. The lower fascia does get trimmed because it is different like you mentioned. Basically you have to cut a hole that is around 5 inches wide and 2.50 inches tall. I attached a picture that shows the Curt brand equivalent hitch installed on a vehicle like yours with the section trimmed.

• Trailer Hitch for 2018 VW Golf SportWagen with Blind Spot Sensors
  
• I looked at the instructions for each of the trailer hitches that fit a 2018 VW Golf SportWagen and there is no mention of blind spot sensors in the instructions for the EcoHitch # 306-X7315, Draw-Tite # 24949, or Curt # C11422, nor is there any mention of blind spot sensors in the linked installation video of the Draw-Tite hitch being installed on a '15 VW SportWagen.

• We offer several options in a light-duty Class I hitch for your VW Golf SportWagen that will let you pull your small utility trailer. All of them happen to have the same capacities and will install in the same way but one offers you a chance to install a USA-made hitch made from recycled materials, the EcoHitch # 306-X7315. I linked a photo that shows the clean appearance of the EcoHitch after installed on a Golf and the instructions to install it are included too. You do not have to...

• 2018 Volkswagen Sportwagen Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  
• For your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen I recommend the Draw Tite hitch part # 24949 as we had the chance to install it on a vehicle exactly like yours and found it fit really well and unlike the Curt hitch for your vehicle does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a Bike Rack on a 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen
  
• The Draw-Tite, part # 24949, and Curt, part # C11422, hitches that fit your 2018 VW Golf Sportwagen are the same in a couple of ways. Specifically they have the same specs and install using the same basic process. I've linked the install details for them both, as well as a video from when we installed the Draw-Tite on a 2015 Sportwagen for you. Between the two I recommend the Draw-Tite to avoid Curt's recommendation of a support strap, part # 18050, when carrying a bike rack.

• Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
  
• There are trailer hitches that will fit the 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen of which the Alltrack is one of the options for that vehicle. The hitches available are all Class I hitches though ( # C11422 and # 24949 ) and as such are limited to 2 bikes maximum. In order to use a swinging bike rack you would need to have a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver. Even a Class II has a 1-1/4 inch receiver but it can hold more than 2 bikes unlike the Class I.

The other option is the Draw Tite hitch part # 24949.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring, and Ball Mount For 2017 VW Golf SportWagen
  
• For your 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I - 1-1/4", # C11422. This is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and works great for light duty towing like you are referring to. You will also need a ball mount to go with your hitch receiver, and I recommend the Curt Class II Drawbar - 2-5/8" Rise, 3-1/4" Drop - 7-1/4" Long - 3,500 lbs, # C45521. This ball mount will require a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball like # 19256 or a 2 inch ball like # 19258. For...

• Hitch & Bike Rack Recommendations for 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen
  
• Hitch makers like Curt and Draw-Tite engineer hitches for vehicles based on their frame and drivetrain capacities. On some smaller and lighter vehicles this can mean that only a 1-1/4-inch light-duty Class I hitch might be offered. At this time we do have only Class I hitch fits, parts # 24949 and # C11422, and it is unlikely that a 2-inch hitch will ever be offered for the car. There are hitch adapters like # HTAD that allow a 2-inch bike rack to be installed in a 1-1/4-inch Class...

• Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen That Does Not Require Stabilizer Strap
  
• Only the Curt hitch for your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen requires the stabilizer strap. A better option would be the Draw Tite hitch part # 24949 which is a fit for your vehicle and does not have that requirement when carrying a bike rack. There hasn't been any issues with the Draw Tite hitch not matching up to the bolt holes of your vehicle. But sometimes hitches will get bent in shipping which throws off the bolt hole dimensions.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation to Fit Bumper at Rear of Camper Trailer
  
• We can't recommend you attach the Curt hitch part # C11422 to the rear bumper of a camper. If you have a 4 inch square bumper instead you would want the Curt hitch part # E-100 which is designed specifically for that application. At the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the...

The hitch mounts in line with the rear bumper beam, see instruction link, and only the hitch receiver is visible so there really isn't a way that it could interfere.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and 2-Bike Rack for 2016 VW Golf SportWagen
  
• I'd be happy to get you the best setup for your 2016 VW Golf SportWagen. To start, I recommend using Draw-Tite # 24949 which is a Class I hitch that has a 1-1/4 inch receiver and a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. For a bike rack you will need to stick with a Class I rack that fits a 1-1/4 inch receiver and a great option would be the Swagman XC # S64650. This rack offers a 4 inch rise for ground clearance and measures 10-1/2 inches from hitch pin hole to the wheel loop and a weight...

• Trailer Wiring for 2015 Golf Sportwagen
  
• For your 2015 Volkswagen Sportwagen TDI the trailer wiring kits we offer are universal ones like the ZCI part # 119250KIT. With this kit you will have to test the wiring of your taillights and then attach the sensors of the kit to the vehicle as needed. I like this kit the best though as it does not require you to splice into the wiring of your vehicle and instead just uses sensors.

The hitch itself has a towing weight capacity of 2,000 pounds but you will want to check your vehicle's owner's manual for its capacity. It is very likely that your VW Golf SportWagen has a lower capacity than what this hitch can handle. You will need to follow...

Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier)...

• Draw-Tite or Curt Trailer Hitch for 2015 VW Golf SportWagen TDI

As long as there aren't any creases or flaked paint on the hitch you would be just fine.

• Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI
  
• Because of the size and capabilities of the 2015 VW Golf SportWagen there is only a Class I trailer hitch available, # C11411, and it is a fit for TDI models. Class I and II trailer hitches have 1-1/4 inch receivers. There are no 2 inch hitches available and based on the vehicle it is unlikely anyone will make a 2 inch hitch for it.

• 2015 VW Golf Sportwagen S GAS
  
• As of right now the Curt hitch part # C11411 that you referenced only fits the diesel models of your vehicle. I checked with Curt recently and they told me that they just haven't tested the hitch on the gas models yet so they don't know for certain.

• Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI
  
• For your 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI you can use Curt trailer hitch # C11411. If you are planning on towing, I recommend the Curt Ball Mount, part # C45520. For a hitch pin and clip you need part # F-4. If you need a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball you can order part # C40001, and for a 2 inch hitch ball I recommend part # C40018.
