Expert Reply:
In order to tow a trailer with a 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack you will need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and a ball mount/hitch ball. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7315 because this is the only option for a Golf Alltrack with a 2" receiver tube opening which is best for towing. Furthermore, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver is a bolt-on option with hidden design therefore you can retain a factory-like appearance. I have attached a photo of this look for you.
For a trailer wiring harness, I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 119250KIT which is the only option for a Golf Alltrack that does not require any splicing. For a ball mount/hitch ball, I recommend the Ball Mount Kit part # 989900 which comes with everything you need to get started. I have summarized the parts you will need below as well.
