Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2016 Volkswagen Golf
Question:
You offer two wiring harnesses for a Golf 2016. I notice that the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness can support some more amps and has a better installation sheet. But the Curt one has a more robust SMT board. As I do not need the extra amps, I would go for the Curtis. The only thing that makes me hesitate is that it has no reviews whereas the T-One has 12 good ones. Which one do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
If it were my 2016 Volkswagen Golf I would install the Tekonsha harness # 118646. I would choose the Tekonsha harness because we have heard of less issues with these wiring harnesses. They install the same way and perform the same functions with little difference other than the design of the circuit boards and amperage ratings like you pointed out. I have included a link to the instructions for you.
