I'm wondering if there is a trailer hitch for my 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI that is completely hidden? Something that pretty much looks like there is no hitch on the car?

There is a trailer hitch for your 2019 Volkswagen Golf GTI that is 100% hidden from sight, the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7375.

The receiver is actually removable if you aren't using the hitch so if you don't have the receiver mounted, it's like there is no hitch on your Golf at all. You can see from the accompanying photo what your 2019 Golf GTI will look like with the receiver mounted and with it taken off.

The other great thing about this hitch is it has a 2" receiver, which is better than the smaller 1-1/4" receivers because it gives you more options for the use of accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers if that's what you are using the hitch for.

I have added a link to a video install of the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7375 on an VW Golf GTI for you to check out as well.
