  • EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit For 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI
  • We do have an EcoHitch trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI, though it is a different part number than the one you mentioned. For your GTI the EcoHitch that will fit is the following part: - EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7310 You mentioned E trim and I was unable to find any reference to an E trim on a '15 Golf, but there is a 4-door SE trim, which may be what you meant. And if so, I can confirm that yes, this hitch will fit the 4-door SE trim...

  • Which EcoHitch Will Fit on my 2016 VW Golf GTI MK7 Package
  • I have a solution for you, but the EcoHitch # 306-X7376 is not designed to fit on the 2016 VW Golf GTI with the MK7 package. Instead, you'll want to use the EcoHitch # 306-X7309 which is a confirmed fit on your 2016 VW Golf GTI MK7 and will provide you with a hitch receiver with a hidden crosstube for greater ground clearance, as well as a great factory installed look. This hitch comes with a 2" receiver that will provide you with a much better choice of hitch mounted accessories like bike...

  • Which Trailer Hitch Fits 2019 Volkswagen Golf SE
  • We have a really great Curt hitch that fits your 2019 Volkswagen Golf SE with part # C11412 but the EcoHitch you referenced does not fit your vehicle. To install this there isn't any drilling required but access holes in the frame need to be enlarged, the underbody needs to be trimmed, and the exhaust must be temporarily lowered. I attached an install video for more info as well that covers these and other steps.

  • Availability of 2" Hitch Receiver for a Bike Rack on a 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI
  • Although EcoHitch hasn't confirmed it yet (as of April 2020), you should be able to use the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7375 on your 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI. This has the same installation as the Draw-Tite # 24979 which fits both a 2019 and a 2020 GTI so by the same token the EcoHitch will fit as well. This is the only 2" receiver available for your GTI but it also has the advantage of a removable receiver so that you won't even know it's installed then you aren't using...

  • Fit of SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box on 2012 Volkswagen Golf
  • If your Golf has a roof rack with crossbars that are less than 4 inches in diameter and that can be adjusted so that their center to center distance apart is between 25-7/8, 27-7/8, or 29-7/8 inches, the SportRack Vista XL # SR7018 would work well for your Golf. If you do not have a roof rack with crossbars, one can be installed using the following parts: 53 Inch WingBar Crossbar # TH711400 in silver or # TH711420 in black Thule EVO Clamp Foot Pack # TH710501 Vehicle Specific Fit Kit...

  • Will EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2011 Volkswagen Golf TDI
  • The EcoHitch # 306-X7310 is designed to fit the 2015-2017 VW Golf TDI. It will not fit your 2011 model. For a hitch that fits your 2011 VW Golf TDI I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24825. This Class I hitch features a bolt-on installation and has a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a max tongue weight of 200 lbs and max gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI for a 4-Door Also Fit a 2-Door
  • As long as your 2-door version of the 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI isn't the R model then yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11412 will fit your vehicle as you can see in the attached photo a customer sent in. Please note that if you plan on using the trailer hitch for a non-towing application (like a bike rack or cargo carrier) then Curt says the stabilizer strap # 18050 must be used.

  • Trailer Hitch Fits For 2012 VW Golf
  • No, there are no other options for hitch that fit your 2012 VW Golf that we aren't showing; we want to give people as many options as possible so they can find the best part for them (so long as it fits) so we wouldn't hide anything.

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

  • What 2015 Volkswagen Golf Will Cirt C11564 Fit
  • I wasn't able to find anything about a "Trip SE" model (which I think you meant something else but it was autocorrected), so what I can say is that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11564 will fit a 2015 Volkswagen Golf R model. If you don't have the R model then you want the hitch # C11412 instead. Installation instructions have been linked for you to check out. If you have a different model just let me know and I can help you figure out what hitch will fit.

  • Compatible Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring For a 2015 VW Golf TSI For Carrying a Bike Rack
  • I recommend the CurtTrailer Hitch Receiver # C11412 as it is confirmed to fit all trims of your 2015 Volkswagen Golf excluding the R. So, you will have no fitment issues with your TSI. Since you are limited to using a Class I bike rack due to the construction of your Golf the 1-1/4" receiver will help you to not lose ground clearance. For a compatible bike rack the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack # TH903202 is very versatile. It will carry 2 bikes up to 65lbs each and support them by their...

  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11412 fits both GTI and non-GTI models. Our fitguide results are separated by fitment with GTI models because some hitches will not be compatible, but this one just so happens to work with multiple models.

  • Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed To Fit a 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI?
  • Currently the 1-1/4" Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24979 is the only receiver confirmed to fit your 2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI. This has been confirmed by Draw-Tite and by some of our reviews on those who have ordered this receiver. Looking at the mounting brackets for the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7375 and Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver # SH79ZR they mount in the same location but will not reuse the impact structure like the Draw-Tite. These both...

  • Can I Use A 10mm Bolt Instead Of The 3/8 Bolt With The CargoBuckle Ratchet Straps IMF18800
  • Yes, I believe a 10mm bolt will work just fine with the CargoBuckle Ratchet Straps # IMF18800. The bolt provided with the straps is a 3/8" bolt so like 9.5mm. The plastics housing on the back gives a bit of extra space for the bolt so it will fit thru fine. The metal on the front may be a bit tighter of a fit for a 10mm bolt. I feel like a half of a millimeter will not be a big deal, but you could probobly enlarge the hole ever so slightly without too much trouble if you need to.

  • Wiring Harness and Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI Rabbit
  • We do have a 4-pole flat trailer connector for the 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI Rabbit with Curt 4-pole flat part # C56405. We installed the Curt wiring harness on a 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI. Since the 2019 GTI Rabbit is just a trim package upgrade, the wiring harness fits the same. I have attached a video for your reference. If you need a hitch for the Rabbit, I recommend EcoHitch part # 306-X7375. The EcoHitch's cross tube is completely hidden behind the rear bumper. The square hitch receiver...

  • 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harnesses for 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Volkswagen GTI
  • The 2015 Volkswagen Golf and the 2015 GTI do call for different wiring harnesses. Tow-Ready 4-pole # 118646 is a custom-fit powered harness that plugs in at the tail lights of the 2015 Volkswagen Golf using vehicle-specific connectors. For the 2015 GTI only universal-fit harnesses are available, Tow-Ready # 119250KIT and Curt # C59236, both of which are hardwire installs. These do not have the connectors to match the car. Both of these will require splicing of wires and you'll need to...

  • Rear Air Bag Helper Springs for a 2015 Volkswagen GTI
  • Yes! The Firestone Coil-Rite rear helper springs # F4176 will fit your 2015 Volkswagen GTI. I double-checked the fit with Firestone. I have linked a video review of this system for you. To avoid having to find an air pump I also recommend adding an onboard compressor system # F2158 so you can adjust the air pressure from inside the vehicle.
