Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2018 Volkswagen Golf
Question:
I need a hitch for my 2018 VW Golf
asked by: Tom
Expert Reply:
If your 2018 Volkswagen Golf is not an R model then I recommend the Curt # C11412 trailer hitch because of how easy it is to install. You will need to use a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 for any non-trailer accessories per the Curt warranty though.
If you do have the R model then I recommend using the EcoHitch # 306-X7332 because it comes with a 2" receiver that will allow you to use a wider variety of accessories.
Let me know what you will be using the trailer hitch for and I can make some additional recommendations if necessary. The installation instructions have been linked for you to reference as well.
