Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI
Question:
Looking to haul my road bike with my new 2018 GTI SE what hitch and accessories do I need to make this the best fit? Thank you for your time!

Expert Reply:
For your 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI the best hitch option we have is the Curt part # C11412.
For a bike rack I really like the Saris Superclamp EX part # SA4025F for your application. It fits the Curt hitch well, is very lightweight, and since it only touches the bikes at the tires it won't damage the delicate frame material of your bike either. Check out the review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
