- Both the EcoHitch # 306-X7310 and the Curt # C11412 are great options for a trailer hitch for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI. The EcoHitch features 13 inches of ground clearance measured from the bottom of the receiver to the ground. I don't have an exact measurement for the Curt hitch, but the Curt seems to sit a bit lower from the frame.
Unless you plan on using this hitch with 1-1/4 hitch accessories exclusively, I recommend going with the EcoHitch # 306-X7309 instead as a 2-inch receiver...

view full answer... - Can Curt Trailer Hitch Be Used for Towing Trailer With 2015 Volkswagen Golf
- The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11412 has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and tongue weight of 200 lbs. As long as you do not exceed the capacity of the hitch or your vehicle you can tow your enclosed trailer. This means it will be fine if it's under 2,000 lbs fully loaded like you said. You will need to check your owner's manual for the towing capacity of your 2015 VW Golf.
Since you will be towing you will also need wiring and a ball mount. For the most reliable...

- The 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,...
view full answer... - How to Determine if the Hitch Rise Adapter HT5R Will Clear Rear Bumper of Vehicle
- On adapter # HT5R it measures 3-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright that supports the 2 inch receiver. You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your vehicle out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper. If that dimension is less than 3-1/2 inches this adapter would clear.
You should also note that with this adapter you will end up cutting the capacity of the hitch on your vehicle by 50 percent.

- Sounds like you blew out the converter on the Hopkins item # HM11143720. These converter's are extremely sensitive to faults and surges from trailer wiring and tend to do crazy things when they are damaged. They don't offer a replacement part for this so I am sorry to say you will have to go with a completely new wiring harness.
The Hopkins item # HM11143720 harness is still available and it looks like you got quite a few years out of yours. You can chose to replace it with the same part...

view full answer... - Do Trunk-Mounted Bike Racks Like Thule Passage 2 TH910XT Have a Travel Distance Limit
- Bike racks like the Thule Passage 2 # TH910XT are rated for weight capacity but they are not rated with a specific travel time or distance limitation. But you raise a good point.
In practical terms an important thing to consider when taking any length of trip with any trunk-mount bike rack installed on the car is keeping the vehicle and rack surfaces clean and free or grit that could (over time) scuff the clear coat finish on your paint job. Even a securely-mounted rack will shift slightly...

If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.
Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap...

- There is not a good way to connect a motorcycle to the back of your Golf using a carrier. Your bike weighs 240 lbs. not including the carrier and this hitch has a weight capacity of 200 lbs. listed on the product page. With that said you will be well over capacity.
You can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11000 and the Tekonsha Upgraded Heavy Duty ModuLite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119190KIT for a hitch and wiring and use it to pull a small trailer. This...
