Is it Possible to Modify a Trailer Hitch to Fit a 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack?

Question:

I would like to know what the overall and mounting hole dimensions of this hitch are. I want to compare them to the EcoHitch Stealth # 306-X7375 and see if there is any way that it would fit my application, 2017 VW Golf Alltrack. I love the stealth look and wouldn't mind modification of a few bolt holes if everything else checks out and it fits. There is currently no other stealth option for the Alltrack/Sportwagen, which are based on the regular Golf and GTI platforms as well.

There are some solutions for your problem, but we do not recommend modifying and installing a hitch that is not specifically made for your vehicle, like the # 306-X7375 you were looking at. This can affect the weight rating of the hitch and cause safety issues.

Your best option for a trailer hitch is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7315. This will provide the most hidden and cleanest look compared to the other hitches available for your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack.
