Expert Reply:
We have a good solution but flat towing your 2018 Volkswagen Sportwagen is not a vehicle that can be flat towed.
Dolly towing however is perfectly acceptable. Using the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly w/ Disc Brakes part # DM9713093 will allow you to use your Towing vehicle to haul your Sportwagen to your favorite spot. While it is something you will have to store there at the campsite it will get your towed vehicle where you want it.
While the dolly does seem a little costly initially. When you take into account all of the components typically required for a flat tow set up then the labor to install everything the cost is pretty close between the two methods.
