I recommend installing the EcoHitch # 306-X7315 on your 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack for trailer towing simply because it is the only option that has a 2" receiver. This means that you will be able to use a wider variety of accessories with this hitch as opposed to other options (including bike racks or cargo carriers).

Then for wiring I highly recommend the ZCI Wiring Kit # 119250KIT because it won't affect your OEM wiring. It installs by clamping onto your tail light wiring and then pulling power directly from your battery (via the black wire) for your trailer lighting when it senses that your light functions of your Golf Alltrack are activated.

The last thing you need is a ball mount kit like the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989891 which comes with a ball mount that has a 3/4" rise/2" drop, a 1-7/8" and a 2" hitch ball, a pin and clip set, and a storage bag for when you aren't towing. I recommend checking out the attached ball mount article to make sure that this kit is correct for you though prior to purchasing.
