As long as you stay under the weight capacity of the EcoHitch part # 306-X7315 that you referenced the Yakima FullSwing part # Y02465 will fit and work well.
The hitch has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity and the rack weighs 56 lbs so you'd have 144 lbs of capacity left over for bikes.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube... view full answer...
I have a great trailer wiring solution for your 2019 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen, but the Hopkins kit part # 46255 that you referenced is not a confirmed fit. Instead the Tekonsha ZCI kit part # 119250KIT would be what I recommend. This is a similar universal style wiring kit but instead of forcing you to cut into the wiring of your vehicle you just attach sensors to the wires which makes for a much easier and less invasive install. view full answer...
Yes, the Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # RM-521239-4 that you referenced comes with brackets and arms for both sides of the vehicle.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267,... view full answer...
We can only recommend Yakima hitch pin locks for their bike racks. The HitchMate # HE6001 would not fit anyway as the threads are much wider. Are you still getting movement with your Holdup # Y02443? One tip that works for a lot of people is to tighten the hitch pin with one and use your other hand to move the rack around as you do so. This typically gets the last bit of movement out of the rack. view full answer...
The 2017 and 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagens essentially are the same so a hitch install would be the same between the two vehicles.
The Draw Tite hitch part # 24949 is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and would work well. view full answer...
We do offer a trailer hitch that is designed to fit the 2015 TDI.
The hitch that will work for you is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11411. This is a Class 1 hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
A note from Curt states that all non-trailer loads like Bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt.
If you're going to be towing a trailer you... view full answer...
We can't recommend you attach the Curt hitch part # C11422 to the rear bumper of a camper.
If you have a 4 inch square bumper instead you would want the Curt hitch part # E-100 which is designed specifically for that application.
At the rear of a trailer or RV the ride quality is very rough when compared to the ride quality at the rear of a passenger vehicle. Reason being the suspension isn't as sophisticated and there is a longer distance between the rear axle and the rear of the trailer... view full answer...
For your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen I recommend the Draw Tite hitch part # 24949 as we had the chance to install it on a vehicle exactly like yours and found it fit really well and unlike the Curt hitch for your vehicle does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. view full answer...
If you have a roof rack installed on your 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen then you just need to measure the distance between the front crossbar and the back crossbar. If the distance is between 20 inches and 37 inches, then the Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT would be a great fit for you.
If you need a roof rack for your vehicle that has raised side rails you would want the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and 47" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711220. view full answer...
The best hitch option for your 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI is going to be the EcoHitch part # 306-X7315 which is made in the USA, is mostly hidden which looks the best installed and offers the best ground clearance, and because it has a 2 inch opening which more hitch accessories are made for as it's a higher weight capacity design.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT as it installs without requiring any splicing to the vehicle wiring.
Since you wanted... view full answer...
I personally prefer and recommend roof racks that give you the best bang for your buck for your 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen. For your Golf I recommend the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MPG215.
Not only is this roof rack aerodynamic but also lightweight and corrosion resistant because of the aluminum construction. view full answer...
The only options for your 2019 VW Golf SportWagen are a splice in wiring harness like Curt # C59236, or Tekonsha # 119250KIT which uses zero-contact interface sensor that clamp onto your wires. If you don't mind splicing and want to save some money go with the Curt. If you don't want to splice into your wiring then I would get the ZCI from Tekonsha.
If you try searching elsewhere you may find a plug and play option listed from Tekonsha. However, we found that they carried over fitment... view full answer...
For your tire size of 225/45R18 the tire chains I recommend the highest are the Konig Easy Fit chains part # TH04115097 as they provide excellent traction in winter weather, will last you a very long time, but what I really like about them is that they install in a matter of seconds and don't require crawling around under your vehicle.
I attached a review video for these for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The capacities are the same between all of the hitches we offer for your 2015 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen (2,000 lbs total trailer and 200 lbs tongue weight), but the ones listed as a Class III like the part # 306-X7315 do have a 2 inch opening.
Since more accessories are made for the 2 inch hitch size that would be the route I would go. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch # 24949 weighs 20-1/4 pounds and the Curt # C11422 weighs just a tad more at 22 pounds.
Both Class I hitches are confirmed to fit your 2015 VW Golf SportWagen TDI and they feature just about identical dimensions and brackets so they will install the same on your vehicle. Both will have about a 2 inch hitch pin hole to bumper clearance measurement and a 14-1/2 inch ground clearance dimension when mounted. Both have the same 2,000 pound towing and 200... view full answer...
The best trailer wiring harness available for your 2019 VW Golf SportWagen is the Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected Harness # 119250KIT, as it uses unique zero-contact sensors to identify the current flowing through each wire by simply clamping on to it. In actual practice this just means that you don't have to actually cut/splice into the factory wires on your brand new vehicle.
This, along with the powered converter that will power the trailer lights (instead of using power from the actual... view full answer...
I have a great solution for you, but there isn't a way to order the Master Lock coupler lock you mentioned keyed alike.
Instead we have the Fastway Universal Coupler Lock # FA86-0015-315 which is the version of this lock that comes with the key number 315. If you ordered 6 of these they'd all have the same key. This is a superior lock designe as well. We've found it basically fits all coupler styles and is very effective.

The Ecohitch part # 306-X7315 that you referenced is a custom fit hitch for your 2015 VW Golf Sportwagen TSI. It would be what your local shop wants. It was custom made for your vehicle and is in no way a universal hitch. view full answer...
Because of the size and capabilities of the 2015 VW Golf SportWagen there is only a Class I trailer hitch available, # C11411, and it is a fit for TDI models. Class I and II trailer hitches have 1-1/4 inch receivers. There are no 2 inch hitches available and based on the vehicle it is unlikely anyone will make a 2 inch hitch for it.
It sounds like you already have an accessory that fits a 2 inch hitch. You could use an adapter, # HTAD, to use the 2 inch accessory with the Class I, 1-1/4... view full answer...
