- 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... - Loaded Trailer Hitch on 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack Flexes and Makes a Lot of Noise
- 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...

- 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... - Recommended Parts to Tow a Trailer with a 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
- 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...

- 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.

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
- For your 2020 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 24949 that I recommend highly. When it is installed only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which makes it mostly hidden as well as helps with ground clearance. For trailer wiring then we have the ZCI part # 119250KIT which installs without requiring any splicing as well.
Then for a ball mount you'd want the part # 3590 and hitch ball part # 19256.

- The lower level of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 wound be a great place to store a fishing kayak. I'm sure you could devise a way to attach some bunk boards but I really don't have any options for this so instead i'd recommend the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier part # Y04091 which is designed for these larger fishing kayaks.
In regards to the spare wheel/tire, the Spare Tire and Carrier for Yakima EasyRider Trailer part # Y08125 is the only thing we can recommend....

view full answer... - Recommended Snow Chains for 2017 VW Golf Alltrack with 225/55-17 Tires
- The 225/55-17 tires are bigger than the manufacturer normally puts on the vehicle. If you have these tires, you will have even more limited clearances so I recommend only using the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit - Size K44 # TH02230K44. These chains require no inner clearance as they only ride on tread portion of the tire. I've linked a video of this to assist. The chains should be installed on the front tires of your 4Motion system....
view full answer... - Thule Motion XT XL or XXL For Midsized Hatchback/Wagon
- For a mid-sized wagon or hatchback like your VW Golf Alltrack or something like a Subaru Outback, the larger Motion XT cargo box won't look oversized or goofy, as there is only 7 inches of difference in length between the 84-1/2 inch Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - XL # TH629806 and 91-1/2 inch Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - XXL # TH629906.
That is especially true for a wagon/hatchback because they have a long roofline similar to an SUV, as opposed to the short roof of a coupe...
view full answer... - Hitch and 3 Bike Hitch Rack for 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
- If your plan is to carry a 3 bike rack with your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack what you need is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7315 that you referenced as it's only option with enough capacity for this. The other options are limited to carry only two bikes due to their lower capacity/hitch Class.
Then you can use a 3 bike rack like the Saris Bones 3 part # SA883 which is very lightweight and easy to use.
