I would be happy to answer those questions for you. All three of those hitches, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # 306-X7395, the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 306-X7393, and the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH49ZR have an identical installation method on your 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan. This includes the models with the R-Line trim package. The rear bumper trim is completely removed to access the rear bumper bar which is removed to install the... view full answer...
The main difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C24ER and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76176 is the Draw-Tite is rated to be used with a weight distribution hitch. This will help with your larger trailers as it will allow you to keep your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas level and more stable while towing.
Both receivers will share the same maximum weight ratings of 900lbs tongue weight and 6,000lbs maximum tongue weight. I have linked installation videos for both... view full answer...
For your 2008 VW Rabbit, a hitch mounted bike rack is a great option. The two bike racks you are looking at are both good options. The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack # S64650 will be compatible with class I thru class III hitches, has sliding wheel loops and ratcheting hooks that hold your bike frame. It has a shank rise of 4 inches to help with ground clearance and has a weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike or 70 lbs total. It comes with an anti-rattle pin and clip. The maximum wheel base is... view full answer...
I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT84GR as being the best receiver for your 2021 Volkswagen ID 4. It will be easier to install as you do not have to fully remove the bumper beam on your ID 4 like is required with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR. I also like the Draw-Tite receiver added the extra steel to the arms that connect the receiver to the cross tube. This will be much better at resisting any deflection of the receiver tube on your ID 4.

The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7284 is identical to the X7284 you saw on the TorkLift site. If you look at the picture Torklift is using, you will see underneath that the actual design may vary. They often use stock images, which is why there is a difference in the pictures. Our picture is of the actual hitch.
Also you can see the additional mounting point is not present in the Torklift installation video. Although it is only for a brief moment, they have an additional... view full answer...
The Shocker Impact Cushioned Draw Bar Mount part # SHK28RR was intended more for farm applications since it has a ball mount platform with a 1 diameter ball hole that gives it more flexibility for "farm life" where you could use hitch balls or other types of clevises or hooks.
The Socker XRC part # SHK37RR on the other hand is more geared for the average tower since it has two hitch balls on either side of the platform. The ball sizes are 2 inch and 2-5/16 inch. The cushioning is the... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11412 and the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7310 do share some characteristics but there are some important differences as well. Both receivers have the same 2,000lbs trailer capacity rating and have a 1-1/4" receiver tube. The EcoHitch is rated for a higher amount of tongue weight at 300lbs versus the Curt at 200lbs. The most important difference is that with a class I receiver like the Curt you are only allowed to use class I accessories... view full answer...
You are correct that the main difference between the Draw-Tite # 24978 and Curt # C11540 trailer hitches for your 2021 Volkswagen Jetta has to do with the design. The Draw-Tite has a hidden crosstube so it will look much cleaner on your Jetta while the Curt will be easier to install but the crosstube will be visible which won't look as clean plus it will reduce your ground clearance some.
Because of all of this I recommend going with the Draw-Tite over the Curt. Even if you have to have... view full answer...
The Curt # C11412 Class I trailer hitch is indeed a confirmed fit for your 2015 VW Golf TDI.2015 VW Golf TDI. This hitch installs without drilling and include all required hardware. Some trimming of underbody panels and the rear fascia are required. The instructions are linked for reference along with two helpful articles on hitch installation.
Class I hitches are light-duty types that need to be used only with compatible Class I accessories, such as bike or cargo carriers. If this is... view full answer...
The only difference between the two mats is that the WT440801 fits vehicles that use the oval mat-retention post, and the WT442691 fits the round mat-retention post.
The mat retention post sticks out of the vehicle floorboard, and is used to prevent the mat from sliding around. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47JR and Draw-Tite # DT84GR are going to have the same difficulty to install on your 2023 Volkswagen ID4. Both of these will require removal of the rear fascia to place the receiver behind the bumper beam. Personally I prefer the Curt over the Draw-Tite as it has the quality of being made in the USA. Both installation instructions are linked below so you can see the installation steps. view full answer...
Either Tow Bar and Base Plate set-up would work well for you. In my opinion, Blue Ox has a slight edge.
Their tow bars include the safety cables, while Roadmaster does not. On many applications, their base plate kits require less modification of the vehicle. I have been told by folks that have used both Roadmaster and Blue Ox systems that the Blue Ox triple lug method of attaching the tow bar to the base plates is easier and more hassle-free.
The Blue Ox Alpha, part # BX7380 is a good... view full answer...
Your assumption about the Titan versus the Atwood coupler is correct. When the tow vehicle comes to a stop, the front of the coupler portion will swivel downward which compresses the actuator. The Titan simply slides directly rearward, with no pivot involved. Although either coupler would serve you well, I prefer the simpler Titan design.
The Titan actuator you referenced, part # T43397007K would be ideal for you if your trailer uses drum brakes. Your brake assemblies will not be needed... view full answer...

The trailer hitch options for your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack can be seen on the linked page.
The Class III TorkLift EcoHitch # 306-X7315 is the one that offers a 2-inch receiver opening, rather than the 1-1/4-inch receivers found on the Class I hitches from Draw-Tite and Curt, parts # 24949 and # C11422
Although the weight capacity of all three hitches is the same 200-lbs tongue weight and 2000-lbs towing, if you already own 2-inch accessories such as a bike rack or cargo carrier... view full answer...
The main difference between the EcoHitch Class 2 Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7333 and the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7332 is the receiver tube size. The EcoHitch # 306-X7332 has a 2" receiver tube and an extra 100 pounds of tongue weight compared to the of 1 1/4" on the #306-X7333. The 2" receivers have the widest variety of accessories, that's why I would highly recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7332. The extra 100 pounds of tongue weight is an added bonus.

The Ecohitch part # 306-X7395 and the etrailer hitch part # e43ZR are very similar hitches that fit your 2022 Volkswagen Tiguan which accomplish the same goal. They provide a mostly hidden hitch where only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. If you don't need the extra capacity of the EcoHitch the etrailer would definitely be the way to go as it costs less and installs easier. I attached pictures of both hitches installed for you to check out.

The Camco RV Power Defender Circuit Analyzer part # CAM55313 and Camco RV Power Defender Voltage Protector part # CAM55306 are similar in that they both work to protect the trailer from power surges and have diagnostic lights to help with troubleshooting. However, the Voltage Protector goes a bit beyond this as the voltage detection system is much more sophisticated sensing both high and low voltages in addition to surges. The Circuit Analyzer can only detects power surges, not high and... view full answer...
If you are concerned with clearance between the bike rack and vehicle, the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z would be the one you want to look at. This rack provides at least 11" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of wheel hoop.
If you would like to add locks to either of the above bike racks then you can do so using the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable Lock part # HRLHPTC which locks both the bike rack and bikes. I have attached a review video one each... view full answer...
Both the EcoHitch and Curt trailer hitches fit your 2016 Volkswagen Golf and both feature similar specs. Both the Curt # C11564 and the EcoHitch # 306-X7333 feature a design that conceals the crossbar beneath the rear fascia. The EcoHitch is slightly more concealed due to the receiver being attached more closely to the crossbar than it is on the Curt hitch. They are otherwise nearly identical in terms of fit, function, and installation.
I recommend the Curt hitch as it is durable and has... view full answer...
