I recommend using the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector
Item # C59236 with your EcoHitch # 306-X7315. This kit is a confirmed fit for your Alltrack and will hard wire into your vehicle's existing wires and provide you with a 4 way trailer harness.
Since you're planning on towing a trailer, if you also need a ball mount and hitch ball to complete your towing setup I recommend using the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 since it comes with 2 ball mounts,... view full answer...
Yes, the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # TH7326 will fit the OEM D060 roof rack system on your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. These use rubber straps to wrap around and secure to the crossbars directly.

If you need a 4-Way connection, this Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56391 features a combined wiring system with pulse width modulation. The brake, tail light, and turn signals are sent along the same wire and signals are sent as pulses which need to be deciphered.
It allows you to quickly and easily install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle with this custom harness. T-connector plugs directly into existing wiring. Powered converter... view full answer...
Yes, the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT that you referenced will work perfectly to provide you with the necessary 4-Way harness to connect with and power your trailer's signal lights. This is really a great option for your VW Alltrack that features sensitive factory wiring, since it uses unique zero-contact sensors that actually identify current flowing through each wire without having to actually cut into them.

If the stop light circuit or CHMSL (center high mount stop lamp) circuit on the 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack are the only things that are on the associated fuse you could use a fuse tap in that location and wire the brake controller red wire to it. It has to be a dedicated brake light only circuit though.
Another option is to tap into the combined brake light and turn signal wires on the trailer connector, which I assume is a 7-Way since they want a brake controller, using converter #... view full answer...
This does happen sometimes when installing wiring harnesses and is usually caused by one of three things. You will need to use a circuit tester, like the # PTW2993, to figure out which will be the cause.
First, and the easiest, will be to check the fuse in line from the battery to the ModuLite box. These are occasionally bad out of the box and will not allow any power to get where it needs to go. If it is indeed bad, replace it and test your 4 Flat. You should be good to go, but if you... view full answer...
We can absolutely get your 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack set up to tow your small utility trailer, and I'll detail all the parts you need, starting with the trailer hitch that fits, which is from Curt:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11422
This hitch will fit your '19 Alltrack and is a really nice option because it has a concealed crosstube so the only thing showing is the receiver, which helps your VW keep its factory appearance. The other things you will need are a wiring harness and... view full answer...
It sounds like your Skybox has already been tampered with as this is not normal at all. I recommend you replace the entire assembly using the Replacement SuperLatch Handle Assemblies for Yakima SkyBox Rooftop Cargo Boxes - Qty 2 # Y8880348. These latches come with the SKS lock cores and 2 keys as well as the latch.
This will actually be less expensive than just replacing the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores (QTY 2) # Y07202. view full answer...
For your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack the trailer hitch part # C11422 is a confirmed fit and then for wiring the part # C56391 is also a confirmed fit. view full answer...
The biggest benefit with using the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7315 over the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24949 or the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11422 is the receiver tube size. The EcoHitch has a 2" receiver tube rather than an 1 1/4", that opens up a lot of options for accessories to mount.
Although the weight ratings and the installation process is the same for all three hitches 200 lbs TW and 2000 lbs GTW, if you already own 2" accessories like... view full answer...
The Westin Sportsman Grille Guard, # 40-93545, will interfere with the parking sensors on a 2018 Ram 1500, but Westin offers a work-around for this issue with the Parking Sensor Relocation Kit, # 40-0015S. You will need 2 kits for all of your parking sensors, but other than that this kit includes everything needed to move your parking sensors from your bumper to brackets on the grille guard.
I've attached a set of installation instructions for you to check out. view full answer...
The Hitch Lock for Kuat Bike Racks # HL1 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 part # SH22G that you have. This pin is 5-3/4 inches long and has a pin span of 3-1/2 inches. This would be the same as what came with the rack though. view full answer...
I do have an option for your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack with the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack # JA7975, but as you suspected do not allow for enough clearance between the bottom of the crossbar and top of the roof for a clamp around saddle style kayak carrier to be used.
In order to carry a kayak on the above crossbar I recommend using the Inno Locker Watersport Carrier part # INXA445 which will actually install inside the channels on the crossbar and do not clamp around... view full answer...
Trailer hitches have to be able to flex. They all do. They absorb stress and flex back into position when that stress is relieved. The noise you are hearing is likely something rubbing against the hitch. The Draw-Tite hitch # 24949 is almost completely hidden from access though without removing the rear fascia.
It would be worth checking though to make sure all the bolts are torqued down to the specs indicated in the instructions. You could also push down on the receiver to simulate a... view full answer...
The trailer hitches that install behind the bumper are always intimidating because of sensors that can be located there. We typically recommend having a shop perform the installation unless you are really comfortable at working on cars because of how involved it is so having it professionally installed is a great idea! Please note that the owner's manual does say that a trailer hitch should not be installed on your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack so the decision will need to be yours when... view full answer...
Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24949, which is one of the confirmed hitch fits on your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, can only be used with a compatible Class I rack of 2-bike capacity. Higher-capacity racks would be too heavy for this hitch and would exert too much stress on the hitch tube. This and all other Class I hitches are limited to a 2-bike carrying capacity.
There is a Class I-compatible Thule rack, the Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR, that will work in your Class I hitch, and this rack... view full answer...
Yes, I checked with Malone and the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG215 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. There is also an option with longer crossbars, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack part # MPG216 which will be 8" longer than the above. These longer crossbars will be good if you are carrying any water sport accessories as you will need all the space you can get. view full answer...
I recommend installing the EcoHitch # 306-X7315 on your 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack for trailer towing simply because it is the only option that has a 2" receiver. This means that you will be able to use a wider variety of accessories with this hitch as opposed to other options (including bike racks or cargo carriers).
Then for wiring I highly recommend the ZCI Wiring Kit # 119250KIT because it won't affect your OEM wiring. It installs by clamping onto your tail light wiring and then... view full answer...
Based on other hitch manufacturers who carried over their hitch fits from the 2017 to the 2018 models we know that the Ecohitch part # 306-X7315 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 119250KIT which is a zero-splice kit.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch... view full answer...
Curt Class I hitch # C11072 is a fit for various VW Jetta and Golf models, up to and including the 2017 Jetta non-TDI Sedan. It does not fit your new vehicle, unfortunately.
For the 2017 VW Golf Alltrack we do offer two confirmed Class I hitch fits from Draw-Tite and Curt.
Both are shown on the linked page.
I recommend the Draw-Tite # 24949 over the Curt # C11422 since this hitch does not require you to use a stabilizing strap # 18050 as the Curt does (for non-trailer loads like bike... view full answer...
