Question:
The reason I’m asking the question is because I saw a 2” and 1-1/4” hitch when I looked up hitches for my car. The 2” 306-X7375.html? The 1-1/4”306-X7376 Can you confirm which I should get?

For lighter duty vehicles like your 2020 Volkswagen Golf a 1-1/4 inch hitch like the Draw Tite part # 24925 would be your best option for towing a smaller trailer. There actually isn't a 2 inch hitch that fits your vehicle.
You'll also need trailer wiring like part # 118646, ball mount # 3593, and hitch ball # 19256.

I have a VW Golf and am looking to tow a lightweight motorcycle trailer and motorcycle around 700lbs. Im not sure what the differences are between the receiver sizes - which one should I get?

Whenever available I recommend the 2 inch hitch size over 1-1/4 inch hitches since they typically have better weight capacities as well as have more accessories made for them as well. For towing a small trailer I'd strongly recommend the 2 inch hitch as well.
