EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Installation - 2019 Volkswagen Golf- Video

Hi there Volkswagen owners, today in our 2019 Volkswagen Golf R we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install EcoHitch's Class III 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver. And this is what our hitch looks like when it's installed. The majority of the hitch is gonna be completely hidden behind the bumper, so you're just gonna see the receiver here at the back. The EcoHitches are made of recycled metal, so if you're looking to reduce your carbon footprint, this can be one of the best options for that. It does have a textured black powder coat finish on it, so it does blend in with the vehicle. With this particular one, since it's glossy down here, it does stand out a little bit, but it does kind of match as far as the depth of the black is fairly similar. more
