- 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.

- Finding the stoplight circuit in a 2012 Volkswagen Touareg is unlike other vehicles out there.

If you check out the attached help article link I attached you can see the entire process outlined.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For Trailer Towing With a 2008 VW GTI
- I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11074 for your 2008 Volkswagen GTI. I checked with Draw-Tite, EcoHitch and Stealth as they make the hidden receivers and none of them have anything to fit your GTI. The Curt does have a small 1-1/4" receiver that will keep the receiver up tight against your rear fascia and have the least impact on ground clearance. The receiver itself is rated to tow up to 2,000lbs with a 200lb tongue weight rating.
Curt recommends their 2" Euro Ball Mount...

The Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains feature D-links in a diamond pattern which give you consistent traction and a solid grip. These chains are Class S compatible and only require 12 mm of clearance, plus they come with a 5-year limited warranty, which is almost unheard...
view full answer... - How to Prevent Theft of a Trunk Mounted Bike Rack
- The only anti-theft device we have for using a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule Passage part # TH910XT is the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533. You will basically loop the nylon covered steel strap around the frame of the rack to form a slip knot and then would close the puck of the strap in the trunk so that the only way to fully separate the rack from the vehicle would be to open the trunk.
Another option is the Thule OutWay trunk rack part # TH45JV. All of the straps of this...

- Some vehicles do make it tough to simply wire into the brake light switch for the brake controller and your Golf may be one of those, but I do have a solution for you.
I called my contact at Tekonsha and they told me that you will want to find the wire that leads to the third brake light. Use a tester like part # PTW2993 and find the wire that only shows power when the brake pedal is pressed. You would then attach the red wire from the brake controller to that wire.
Although they were...

- When picking out a draw bar/ball mount for a Class I hitch that fits a vehicle like the # 24748 which fits your 2001 Volkswagen Jetta TDI you need to go with the ball mount that the hitch recommends. Like in this case you'd want the part # 3593 which is a fit for this hitch. Then for a hitch ball you'd want the part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or the part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
view full answer... - Recommended Dolly To Flat-Tow 2011 Volkswagen SportWagen With Automatic Transmission
- According to our research, a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta with an automatic transmission can not be flat-towed. You will need to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to verify this.
You can use a tow dolly like part # RM-2050-1. The dolly has lights and electric brakes.
You will need a brake controller in the towing vehicle to operate the brakes on the dolly. I recommend the P2 brake controller, part # 90885. This is our most popular because it is easy to install and operate.

This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. Consult the Tiguan owner's manual to determine its tongue weight capacity and go by the lower rating.

- There are no hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2004 Volkswagen Beetle Turbo S. In case you were looking for a way to transport a bike you could still use a trunk mounted bike rack as long as you don't have a convertible.
The Saris Bones Trunk Rack part # SA805BL has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and would work well for you if this is the case. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

view full answer... - Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer With a 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
- The towing package for a vehicle will generally consist of a trailer hitch and trailer wiring harness. As you mentioned, the 2" receiver tube will be a far more versatile option in regards to both towing and hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack. The only trailer hitch with a 2" receiver tube that is offered for your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7315. That said, the EcoHitch is in my eyes one of the best on the market because...
