The pin hole size on Curt hitch # C11422 is 1/2". For a drawbar to use with your 2017 VW Golf Alltrack you would want the Curt # C45521 along with Curt Class I and II Pin and Clip - 1/2" Diameter # F-4 and either 1-7/8" hitch ball # A-80 or 2" hitch ball # A-82.
I have provided links to video reviews of each of these products for you to take a look at. view full answer...
Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack # JA7975 will sit about even with the factory raised rails on your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. This gives you a nice low-profile look but also gives you a way to measure the height of your open sunroof to verify if that gives you enough clearance or not.
If you take a straight piece of wood or carboard and place it on top of your raised rails and your sunroof has plenty of clearance to open then you'll be good. If the sunroof touches the wood... view full answer...
Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24949, which is one of the confirmed hitch fits on your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, can only be used with a compatible Class I rack of 2-bike capacity. Higher-capacity racks would be too heavy for this hitch and would exert too much stress on the hitch tube. This and all other Class I hitches are limited to a 2-bike carrying capacity.
There is a Class I-compatible Thule rack, the Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR, that will work in your Class I hitch, and this rack... view full answer...
The correct EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is part # 306-X7315. It doesn't look like we have had a chance to install said hitch yet so we don't have any measurements to provide and the manufacturer does not produce these either as it can be different for every vehicle depending on options, tire size, load, etc. That said, I have attached a photo for you which shows the location of the receiver and as you can see, it sits right inside the rear... view full answer...
There are some solutions for your problem, but we do not recommend modifying and installing a hitch that is not specifically made for your vehicle, like the # 306-X7375 you were looking at. This can affect the weight rating of the hitch and cause safety issues.
Your best option for a trailer hitch is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7315. This will provide the most hidden and cleanest look compared to the other hitches available for your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. view full answer...
The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7315 is rated for 2,000lbs of towing and 300lbs of tongue weight. I do recommend calling your VW dealership for confirmation by VIN for your exact tow ratings on your 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack.
Manufacturers will often give different weight ratings than what some vehicles are capable of due to the fact the hitch fits different vehicles or they have built the hitch to a lower or higher rating for a more specific fitment.

The best option to carry a 4 bike rack on your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is using a hitch that has a 2" receiver opening like the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7315. Trailer hitches with Class I rating with a 1-1/4" receiver opening like the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24949 are only rated to handle a maximum of 2 bikes.
If you consider the weight of the # C18030 (40lbs), you do not want to load 4 bikes that have over a combined weight of 160 lbs.... view full answer...
The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Platform Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier # HR1450Z-85 at max capacity can handle 50 lbs per bike and 100 lbs of cargo so if your bikes combined weight less than 40 lbs and your loaded Yeti cooler weight in even at 50 lbs you will be well under the weight rating for this combination.
Just make sure that you have a 2" hitch receiver on your 2017 VW Golf Alltrack, like the EcoHitch # 306-X7315, and that you aren't exceeding the tongue weight rating for your... view full answer...
Yes, you are seeing it correctly on some of the item # 306-X7315 photos. That's 100% installation error. They're not cutting enough of the fascia off to let the safety chain plate clear it.
The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11422 does not have the bulging issue because the smaller receiver and the location of the safety chain loops gives you more space. We had a Golf Alltrack in the shop awhile back and installed this hitch. I have attached a couple of pictures below that show it along with... view full answer...
