Concealed Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI

Question:

I have a 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI that I need a trailer hitch and wiring kit for. What is my best option. Is there something hidden? Ground clearance is something I am worried about as well.

The best hitch option for your 2019 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen TDI is going to be the EcoHitch part # 306-X7315 which is made in the USA, is mostly hidden which looks the best installed and offers the best ground clearance, and because it has a 2 inch opening which more hitch accessories are made for as it's a higher weight capacity design.

For trailer wiring you'd then want the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT as it installs without requiring any splicing to the vehicle wiring.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
