Hidden Cross Tube for a Clean, Factory Look
The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame, behind your rear bumper. No drilling or welding is required. Once the hitch is installed, only the receiver will be visible beneath your bumper. This means that your vehicle can maintain its stylish, from-the-factory look, and you won't have to do any major modifications to its body or frame.
Eco-Friendly Material
With a combination of aerospace-grade aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, each EcoHitch is made of a strong metal alloy that will withstand the test of time. The lightweight alloy is composed of recycled materials. Traditional steel hitch manufacturing can use coal or oil, which can contribute to harmful gas emissions. The EcoHitch's recycled materials limit the carbon footprint during manufacturing, so you get a sturdy trailer hitch while also helping the environment.
Rigorous Strength Testing Ensures Durability
This EcoHitch trailer hitch is tested for durability and sturdiness. Using Finite Elemental Analysis (FEA), individual points of stress on the hitch can be detected and remedied. Designers can accurately test the hitch to ensure that it will meet or exceed SAE J684 standards. The EcoHitch Hidden trailer hitch is carefully researched and strength tested for a durable, high-quality hitch that can resist damage while on the road.

Works well on a 2019 VW R, I use this for attaching my bike rack to the vehicle only and had no interest in towing. During the installation the instructions suggest removing the foam insert. I contacted the manufacture and discussed based on the discussion I decided to keep the insert installed. I experienced no issues with the installation or use of.

Excellent product. Got it installed on a 2017 Golf R without discarding OEM foam and no issues with the blind spot monitors either. Jigsaw made easy work of notching out the valance, and the included notch trim turns even an imperfect cut into a perfect finish. Only complaint is that the receiver wasn't welded perfectly square to the crossbar. I measured it to be exactly 1 degree off, and you'd be surprised how plainly noticeable that is when your accessory is folded up.

See what our Experts say about this EcoHitch Trailer Hitch
- How Much Does Rear Bumper Fascia Need to Be Notched to Install Hitch on 2019 Volkswagen Golf RTo install the EcoHitch # 306-X7333 or # 306-X7332 on a 2019 VW Golf R, a notch measuring 3 x 3-1/4 inches would need to be made in the underside of the bumper fascia. For both hitches, the notch isn't noticeable from the rear, only if you're looking up at the underside of the bumper. If I had to personally choose between the two, I'd go with the EcoHitch # 306-X7332 with the 2 inch receiver because the 2 inch receiver size is more common, so there will be more hitch mounted accessories...

- Which EcoHitch for 2019 Volkswagen Golf R ModelThe EchoHitch part # 306-X7332 and the # 306-X7333 are very similar but have two major differences. The # 306-X7333 has the 1-1/4" reciever and the # 306-X7332 has the more desirable 2" receiver opening and 100 pounds more of tongue weight. I would definitely go with the 306-X7332 since it gives you a wider variety of accessories to choose from.

- What is Cut Out Dimension for EcoHitch and Stealth for 2019 Volkswagen Golf RFor your 2019 Volkswagen Golf R we have 2 hitches from EcoHitch and one from Stealth. The cutout of the Stealth # SH89ZR is minimal while for the EcoHitch # 306-X7333 is 3-1/4" x 3" and # 306-X7332 it is 4-1/4" x 3". I would recommend the # 306-X7332 because it has the 2" opening.
view full answer... - Hidden Trailer Hitch for a 2019 Volkswagen GolfWe do have hidden hitches for an R model or GTI model of your 2019 Volkswagen Golf, but if you don't have either there is only one trailer hitch available and it doesn't have the hidden crosstube. For an R model I recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7333 which only has the receiver visible, for a GTI I recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7375 because you can physically remove the receiver portion of the trailer hitch so that passerbys don't even know you have a trailer hitch installed, and then the...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch That Fits 2016 VW Golf RThere is a hitch that is a fit for your 2016 VW Golf R, but not the Curt model you referenced. Instead, you need the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7333, which is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver and a bolt-on installation so no drilling in your VW's frame is going to be needed. This hitch has a hidden cross tube so only the receiver will be visible, ensuring a clean look for your Golf R.
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Volkswagen Golf R for Carrying 3 Bike Kuat TransferTo carry more than 2 bikes on a hitch bike rack the hitch has to be higher than a Class I so the EcoHitch part # 306-X7333 that you referenced (Class II) is the hitch to use and will allow you to carry a Kuat Transfer V2 bike rack part # KU24FR. Your total weight of bikes and racks being around 150 would easily work well with the 200 lb capacity of this hitch. You do not need to keep the weight at 2/3 the capacity. As long as you are under the weight capacity you are totally fine.
view full answer... - Cutout Dimensions for Draw-Tite and EcoHitch Trailer Hitches on a 2018 Volkswagen Golf RThe cutout of the the EcoHitch # 306-X7333 and # 306-X7332 it is 3-1/4" x 3". Since the cutouts are the same I highly recommend going with the EcoHitch # 306-X7332 because it gives you a 2" receiver over the 1-1/4" receiver size for the other 2 hitches. The larger receiver size means that you can use more accessories for your 2018 Volkswagen Golf R model. Just be sure not to exceed the weight capacity of your Volkswagen. If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for,...

- What is the Difference Between the EcoHitch Hitches for 2019 VW Golf R ModelThe primary difference between the EcoHitch # 306-X7332 and EcoHitch # 306-X7333 is that the EcoHitch # 306-X7333 only has a 1-1/4" receiver, where the EcoHitch # 306-X7332 has a 2" receiver. When available, I generally find it more beneficial for customers to go with a 2" hitch when they are available for their vehicle and within their price range. Both of these hitches mount behind the bumper and provide a concealed cross tube design that will leave only the receiver visible, so the installation...
view full answer... - Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2015 Volkswagen Golf RWe currently only have one trailer hitch receiver option available for a 2015 Volkswagen Golf R which is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7333 for 1-1/4" or part # 306-X7332 for 2". The best thing about the EcoHitch is that it is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The hitch's cross tube bolts onto your vehicle's frame, behind your rear bumper. No drilling or welding is required. If you can tell me what you will be using the hitch for I would be glad to offer...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 VW Golf R ModelI reached out to my contact at Curt and they have not yet tested the fit on your model. It is very likely that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C11475 will fit your vehicle but the fit has not yet been confirmed. For the only confirmed fit we have for your 2018 VW Golf R model, I recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7333. I've attached the installation instructions to help. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56374 is also a very likely fit that...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2016 Volkswagen Golf RThe # 306-X7309 only fits the GTI models of the 2016 VW Golf. The equivalent hitch for your Golf R is the # 306-X7333, but this only has a 1-1/4" receiver. Unfortunately, there is not a hitch available with a 2" receiver for the R. Unless you are going to use an accessory that requires a Class II hitch, the Class I hitch from Curt # C11564 will save you some money.
view full answer... - EcoHitch vs Curt Trailer Hitch Comparison for 2016 VW GolfBoth 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... - Difference Between The Draw-Tite and the EcoHitch Hitches for a 2019 Volkswagen Golf RThe 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. Both hitches...
view full answer... - Stealth Trailer Hitch Vs EcoHitch Trailer Hitches for 2019 VW Golf RThe best hitch for your 2019 Volkswagen Golf R is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7332 because it is the only hitch currently with a 2" receiver tube and a better price than the Stealth. The # 306-X7332 has a 300-lb tongue weight capacity and a 2000-lb towing capacity. The big benefit to having a 2" receiver is the wide variety of accessories, like bike racks and cargo carriers. Ecohitch also makes a hitch with 1-1/4" receiver tube # 306-X7333. The # 306-X7333 has...

There is also a 2" EcoHitch # 306-X7333 available for the 2019 VW Golf R that requires a 4-1/4” wide x 3” tall cutout.

view full answer... - Recommended EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Compatible with 2018 VW Golf GTIThe EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7375 is the confirmed fit for your 2018 VW Golf GTI. The 1-1/4 inch # 306-X7333 and 2 inch # 306-X7332 will fit R models only and are not a fit for your GTI. Let me know if you have further questions.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch that Fits 2018 Volkswagen Golf Type RFor the 2018 Volkswagen Golf Type R we have two options that will work great. We have the EcoHitch part # 306-X7333 which is a 1-1/4 inch hitch or we have the # 306-X7332 which is a 2 inch hitch. 2 inch hitches are stronger by design and also have more accessories made to fit them so it's the size I recommend.
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation for 2015 VW Golf Type RI'll start off by addressing your first question; yes, the Curt # C11564 is a confirmed fit on your 2015 VW Golf type R. When it comes to choosing between the EcoHitch # 306-X7333 and the Curt, you'll find that the EcoHitch is just a little bit more hidden than the Draw-Tite hitch-but they're both technically concealed cross-tubes; the 2" EcoHitch # 306-X7332 will also be more hidden than the Draw-Tite since both EcoHitches are installed the same way. I generally feel like choosing a 2"...
view full answer... - Do Trailer Hitch Receivers for the 2016 Volkswagen Golf R Require TrimmingWe have two hitches from EcoHitch and one from Curt that fit your 2016. From EcoHitch one is a 2 inch, part # 306-X7332, and the other is a 1-1/4 inch, part # 306-X7333. I recommend the 2 inch because it's compatible with more accessories than the smaller hitch is. Both of them do require trimming to the fascia. The Curt is part # C11564 and it is also a Class I 1-1/4 hitch and also requires trimming.
view full answer... - Suggestions for Class I Hitch Compatible Bike Rack for 65 lb Fat Tire E BikesIf you can reduce the weight of each bike to 50 lbs or less by removing the battery packs, the Thule T2 Classic, part # TH9045 would be ideal. The rack is compatible with a Class I hitch, and can accommodate 2 bikes weighing up to 50 lbs each with tires up to 5 inches wide. If removing the battery packs would reduce the weight of your bikes to 60 lbs or less, the Kuat NV 2.0, part # NV12G would be a good alternative once the # APBK fat bike adapter kit is added. You'd need one adapter...
