Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Volkswagen Golf S
Question:
I see you list this as a fit for 2016 VW Golf. Amazon indicates this model does not fit. Can you confirm this fits the 2016 Golf?

We checked with Curt (who manufactures this hitch), and they list the # C11412 as a fit for the 2016 Volkswagen Golf as long as it's not a R model so I can confidently recommend this for you. I also just checked again to confirm this as a fit.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack.
