On your 2017 VW Golf TSI the installed height from the ground to the top of the drawbar or the inside of the receiver tube is 9-1/2 inches n the Curt # C11412 trailer hitch. I've also attached a video of this installation to further assist.

For a ball mount on this hitch, I recommend the Curt # C45521 with hitch ball # A-82 or # A-80 along with hitch pin # F-4. Finally for trailer wiring I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118646.

If you will be using this hitch for a bike rack or other accessory, you will also need stabilizer strap # 18050.

Brake systems are not dependent on the hub bolt pattern. So you can use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-7-SA for 12 inch hub/drums or #AKEBRK-35-SA for 10 inch hub/drums. Then use #10-1-1 wire sold by the foot for your brake magnet wiring.…
