Expert Answers about Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
- Choosing Between 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches for a 2017 VW Golf Alltrack
- The best trailer hitch option for a 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7315 which has the larger receiver tube opening. The main benefit of this larger receiver tube opening is actually the higher capacity and larger selection of hitch mounted accessories to choose from. In regards to ground clearance, the smaller opening will have more but only marginally so this is not what I would recommend be the determining factor.

- The trailer hitches that install behind the bumper are always intimidating because of sensors that can be located there. We typically recommend having a shop perform the installation unless you are really comfortable at working on cars because of how involved it is so having it professionally installed is a great idea!

- The lower level of the Yakima EasyRider Double Decker Trailer part # Y08129 wound be a great place to store a fishing kayak. I'm sure you could devise a way to attach some bunk boards but I really don't have any options for this so instead i'd recommend the Yakima BigCatch Kayak Carrier part # Y04091 which is designed for these larger fishing kayaks.
In regards to the spare wheel/tire, the Spare Tire and Carrier for Yakima EasyRider Trailer part # Y08125 is the only thing we can recommend....

- The Yakima SkinnyWarrior Roof Basket # Y07014 is perfectly compatible with the factory crossbars on your VW AllTrack. The only thing you will want to check is the actual crossbar spread (distance between the front and rear bars - center to center). The SkinnyWarrior Basket works with spreads of 24" to 38". I'm pretty sure the factory bars on the AllTrack are adjustable front to back so this shouldn't be an issue, but it doesn't hurt to verify.

view full answer... - Recommended Snow Chains for 2017 VW Golf Alltrack with 225/55-17 Tires
- The 225/55-17 tires are bigger than the manufacturer normally puts on the vehicle. If you have these tires, you will have even more limited clearances so I recommend only using the Konig Premium Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - K-Summit - Size K44 # TH02230K44. These chains require no inner clearance as they only ride on tread portion of the tire. I've linked a video of this to assist.

- That's a good question. The reality is if someone had access to the top and bottom of the bolts that hold the tray to the shaft of the 16x21 TorkLift Lock and Load SideKick Cargo Tray # TLA7901 they could remove the bolts. But that would require the thief to have the tools needed on-hand, have a pretty solid understanding of this specific carrier, and you to have a small enough generator that they would be able access the tops of the bolts.

- For a mid-sized wagon or hatchback like your VW Golf Alltrack or something like a Subaru Outback, the larger Motion XT cargo box won't look oversized or goofy, as there is only 7 inches of difference in length between the 84-1/2 inch Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - XL # TH629806 and 91-1/2 inch Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box - XXL # TH629906.
That is especially true for a wagon/hatchback because they have a long roofline similar to an SUV, as opposed to the short roof of a coupe...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2020 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
- For your 2020 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 24949 that I recommend highly. When it is installed only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which makes it mostly hidden as well as helps with ground clearance. For trailer wiring then we have the ZCI part # 119250KIT which installs without requiring any splicing as well.
Then for a ball mount you'd want the part # 3590 and hitch ball part # 19256.
