- Comparing Hollywood Trail Rider or Swagman XTC Bike Rack for 2002 VW Golf
- Of the two bike racks you referenced, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z over the Swagman XTC-2 # S64670 because the Trail Rider gives you more security and ground clearance than the XTC-2.
The Hollywood Racks Trail Rider and Swagman XTC-2 are similar but the Trail Rider will secure both your bike and your daughter's bike with its locking ratcheting hooks; it also locks to your hitch which helps protect your investments. The XTC-2 can lock as well but you would need to...

This will give you an excellent bike rack for your vehicle and it doesn't take a lot of storage. The locks are included so there isn't additional storage space needed for those components.

view full answer... - Recommended Fat Tire E-Bike Rack and Hitch for 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI
- The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI is the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7375 because it has a completely hidden design and provides the larger 2" receiver tube option which will give the best selection. For a fat tire e-bike compatible rack, the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack part # HLY74FR is the perfect option which when combined with the two bikes will put you just under the total weight capacity.

- The Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style, part # Y04073, will work be able to straddle the towers with no problem. I do recommend moving the inside clamps of your JayLow as far inside the tower as you can while keeping the other feet outside of the tower. You still might be able to use the 8.3" and keep the JayLow inside the towers. It has dimensions of L 6.69 " x W 6.00" x H 20.00". I am not sure if that takes the angle of the carrier into consideration but...
view full answer... - Recommended Lightweight Platform Style Wheel Mount 2 Bike Rack for 2013 VW Golf TDI
- If a lightweight rack is what you're looking for, I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT, part # TH903202. The rack weighs in at about 45 lbs, and can carry two bikes weighing up to 65 lbs apiece. The rack can be used in either 1-1/4 or 2 inch hitches, and can carry bikes with up to a 3 inch tire. For wider tires you can add the Fat Tire Adapter, part # TH985101, and increase it to 4-11/16 inches.
The rack is capable of folding up against the rear of the vehicle when the bikes are removed,...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI
- I have a bike rack solution I can recommend for you, but the Yakima Holdup 2 part # Y02445 that you referenced can only be used in Class II hitches. The Curt Hitch part # C11412 that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf TDI is a Class I hitch so it would not be compatible with the Holdup.
For a similar bike rack that will fit the Class I hitch for your vehicle you would want the Thule T2 part # TH9045. This will clear your rear bumper and would work very well for you....

view full answer... - Ball Mount Recommendation for 2017 Volkswagen Golf with 4 inch Rise
- Based on the dimensions you listed the correct amount of rise you need from a ball mount is 6 inches. Since the EcoHitch part # 306-X7310 is a 1-1/4 inch hitch you'd want the ball mount # BR39FR and you'd be set.
For a hitch ball you'd want part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Volkswagen Golf
- If your 2018 Volkswagen Golf is not an R model then I recommend the Curt # C11412 trailer hitch because of how easy it is to install. You will need to use a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 for any non-trailer accessories per the Curt warranty though.
If you do have the R model then I recommend using the EcoHitch # 306-X7332 because it comes with a 2" receiver that will allow you to use a wider variety of accessories.
Let me know what you will be using the trailer hitch for and I can...

- The Curt Class I Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C11412 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2018 VW Golf, features a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. As far as the hitch is concerned, the combined 199 pound weight of both your motorcycle and carrier falls under its limit (with one pound to spare!). As long as you remain below its capacity, the Curt hitch will be able to support your motorcycle without issue. Just note that Curt does require that you use an additional...

- The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch # 306-X7309 will fit your 2016 VW GTI. This 2" hitch is a fit for all models of the 2016 Volkswagen Golf with the exception of R models.
To add a 4-way to your '16 GTI the correct wiring harness is # 119250KIT.

- The TorkLift Basic SpringLoad Turnbuckles # TLS9000 actually have an adjustable length of 9 to 13 inches. Just the spring-loaded barrels measure about 4 inches. The two included chains are 24 inches long and 1/4 inch wide.

- The Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT will work to provide a 4-Way flat trailer connector on your 2016 Volkswagen Golf R. This wiring harness will allow you to install trailer wiring without needing to splice a connector into your vehicle's factory wiring system.
The powered converter needs to be run to the vehicle's positive battery post. I cannot recommend that you connect the power wire to a 12V accessory wire somewhere further back on the vehicle. With...

- I am happy to inform you that the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack, part # RR23QR, is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Volkswagen Golf 5-Door with the panoramic sunroof.
I do not recommend using your sunroof while it is installed, though. Most roof racks do not allow the sunroof to be opened because there isn't enough clearance. You should definitely check this before fully installing the rack.

- I have a different hitch recommendation for you, but the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24949 you were looking at is only confirmed to fit the 2019 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen's and will not fit your standard Golf.
Instead we have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11412 which is currently the only option for your standard 2019 Volkswagen Golf. While the vehicles do appear somewhat similar they are not interchangeable due to vehicle differences.
This hitch is made here in the USA so you know...

Between those two, go with the Curt # C11000 for its higher overall quality.
