  • Trailer Hitch or Trunk Mount Bike Carriers
  • Based on your description of the vehicle - 2018 VW Golf TSI four door hatchback - I am not certain whether you have a 4-door or a 5-door hatchback.

  • Availability of Completely Concealed Receiver Hitch for 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI
  • Although we do have hitch fits for your vehicle, the EcoHitch Stealth 2 inch receiver you referred to, part # 306-X7375 is not a fit for the 2017 Volkswagen Golf GTI. According to EcoHitch, it's only a fit for 2018-2021 models, and unfortunately, they don't offer a stealth-style hitch for the 2017 GTI at this time. For your 2017, EcoHitch recommends the # 306-X7309 which features a concealed crossbar but would leave the receiver tube and safety chain hooks visible. If you want a fully...
