2 inch Trailer Hitch for 2016 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen S

Question

Question:

Hi! I have a 2016 VW Golf Sportwagon, and Id like to get a hitch for it. I see options available, but Im not sure theyre the right fight. Its not a diesel, and its not a turbo gas. Its a basic S wagon. Do you have a hitch that fits that without having to cut it? Id prefer a 2inch, but I think Im only seeing 1 1/4 - is that right? Thanks for your help!
