Trailer Hitch for 2019 VW Golf SportWagen with Blind Spot Sensors

Question:

I need to install a trailer hitch for a bike rack but worried about the blind spot sensors getting in the way of the hitch. Will I have problems?

The trailer hitch options for a 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack will not cause any issues with the Blind Sport Sensors so there should be no concerns here. I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7315 which is a bolt-on fit that has a hidden design therefore you will retain a factory-like appearance. Furthermore, this is the only option with a 2" receiver tube so you have the most options for hitch mounted accessories.

I have attached a photo for you as well that shows the hidden design. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver in particular also has the most durable coating so aesthetics should be the same through the life of the vehicle. If you don't already have a bike rack, I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR which can hold up to four bikes and it can tilt so you can still get into the rear hatch with the bike rack installed.
