Hitch and 3 Bike Hitch Rack for 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
Question:
Hi it seems that all the three bike racks require a 2 inch hitch Does the 2 inch eco-hitch allow for caring three bikes on the back of altrack?

Expert Reply:
If your plan is to carry a 3 bike rack with your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack what you need is the EcoHitch part # 306-X7315 that you referenced as it's only option with enough capacity for this. The other options are limited to carry only two bikes due to their lower capacity/hitch Class.
Then you can use a 3 bike rack like the Saris Bones 3 part # SA883 which is very lightweight and easy to use.
