Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI
Question:
Which trailer hitch should I get for my 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI?
asked by: Cliff
Expert Reply:
For your 2018 Volkswagen Golf GTI the Curt hitch part # C11412 is a confirmed fit and would be the hitch I recommend. It is a USA made hitch that is custom fit for your vehicle with great towing weight capacities. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Curt part # C56405 which is also a confirmed custom fit that won't require any splicing or hardwiring.
For a ball mount you'd then want the part # C45521 and for hitch balls you'd want the part # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
