Yes, we do have a hitch for your 2017 VW Golf GTI. I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7309. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your VW with included hardware. This hitch has a 2" receiver and offers a 2,000 lbs towing capacity and a 300 lbs maximum tongue weight.

I have linked an installation video below.

I strongly recommend going with a 2" hitch over a 1-1/4" like item # C11412. There are more options for accessories and compatibility can be an issue with 1-1/4" receivers because there are two different classes.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C59236 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
