Recommended Trailer Hitch And Trailer Wiring For 2015 Volkswagen Golf Launch Edition
Question:
Hi, do you have a trailer hitch ball mount for the new 2015 launch edition VW Golf? Its not a TDI. I also need the wiring to connect the little trailers lights to the car, four prong flat connector. Thank you.

The hitch I recommend for your Golf is the Curt trailer hitch, part # C11412.
This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
A ball mount I recommend is part # C45521. I also recommend part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball, and part # 19258 for a 2-inch ball.
The trailer wiring I recommend is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118646. This has a powered converter that makes sure the Golf wiring matches the trailer wiring. You install the harness by attaching it to the connection points located behind the tail lights in the rear cargo area. You then run the power wire to the positive battery post.
