Yes, the Curt Echo Mobile brake controller part # C51180 that you referenced will work great on your 2020 Volkswagen Atlas with the Smart Technology package. All this needs is an active 7-way and it once synced to your smart phone is ready to go.
I attached a review video for more info on it as well. view full answer...
Assuming you have a hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13366 I really like the Inno Vertical Hang 4 Bike Rack part # INH540. This keeps the bikes nice and high while also working for all types of bike without the need for adapter bars.
Check out the video on it that I've linked for you. view full answer...
Congratulations on the new car!
Yes! We do install hitches! If you need a great hitch for your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C24ER (if you do not have a Cross Sport model) or the # C93CR if you have a Cross Sport model). Not only do both of these hitches include concealed crosstubes to provide your vehicle with a more factory look, they also come with a better coating than competitor brands. With this factor, you do... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C24ER and the Draw Tite part # 76176 that fit your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas are both very similar in design and have the same capacities but I would recommend the Curt # C24ER as we typically have the best luck with their hitches in terms of build quality and consistency.
For trailer wiring the most reliable and easy to install option is the Tekonsha part # 118754. view full answer...
It would be a great idea to use an anti-sway system with your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas and small single axle travel trailer. The smaller single axle trailers are actually more prone to sway than the larger tandem and triple axle trailers due to the lack of tongue weight.
There are two styles of anti-sway control, friction and electric. The owner's manual for your Atlas restricts the use of most friction sway control devices so your best option will be an electric anti-sway device. I recommend... view full answer...
For your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C24ER. This Class III hitch has a 2" receiver and a concealed cross tube to help maintain a factory look. It has a maximum gross tongue weight of 900 lbs which will be more than enough to handle a bike rack.
For a bike rack, check out the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. This has a carrying capacity of 4 bikes and weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike. The tilting mast allows for easy acces of the rear cargo... view full answer...
We definitely have what you need to get your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas all set up to tow a small trailer. There will be a couple more things needed than just a hitch and wiring, but not many. With that said, let's get into it.
First thing's first, the hitch. For this we have the American made Curt # C24ER. There is some fascia trimming required for the installation, but no drilling, so it is a pretty straight forward install. This is also rated up to 6,000 pounds towing and 900 pounds of tongue... view full answer...
For your Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 2" Drop, 3-1/2" Rise - 7K # 325-GH-12001 we have the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" Hitches - Flush - 2-5/8" Span - Chrome # e98880.
This lock fits perfectly and will keep you ball mount from getting stolen.
I included videos for both of the products mentioned for you to take a look at. view full answer...
Yes, the # PK11893 will work for you. This is a 7-way basically made for the industry standard style of 7-ways which I compared to the VW brand 7-way part # 7L0-055-305-N that you referenced and it's an exact match and costs less! view full answer...
The 2020 Volkswagen Atlas has a low hitch receiver height therefore you'll likely need a ball mount with built-in rise to tow most trailers level. In order to find the correct one simply measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the trailer while level and then subtract the distance from the ground to the top inside edge of the trailer hitch on the vehicle. You're likely looking around 3" and in which case I recommend the Curt Solid Ball Mount for 2" Hitches part # C45313... view full answer...
I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118754 as an option besides the adapter you referenced to provide a standard 4-Flat. This harness is custom designed to fit your vehicle without splicing the factory wires.
This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area. You will have to remove the threshold cover, cargo trays, and some interior paneling to access this harness. Once you've... view full answer...
We do have trailer hitch options for a 2022 Volkswagen Atlas of which I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76176. This is a bolt-on trailer hitch option with no drilling or welding required. It has a 2" opening which is great for towing or hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. If you'll be towing with the hitch then you'll also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # TK89FR and Curt Towing Starter... view full answer...
Absolutely!
Starting with the trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch # C13366. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit your 2018 VW Atlas and will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide you with a 2 inch receiver and it has a 6,000 towing weight capacity. You will also want to verify your vehicle's capacity by checking the owner's manual, as it is likely lower than this. You will simply need to follow whichever capacity is lower,... view full answer...

For your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas the Draw Tite hitch part # 76176 would be your best option for carrying a bike rack. It's a 2 inch hitch design which means it has plenty of capacity and has the most accessories made for it.
In the detailed install instructions link below you'll see that no fascia or bumper modification is required to install this hitch. view full answer...
The towing mirrors I recommend for a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas are the K-Source Universal Towing Mirrors part # KS3891-2. These are my favorite universal towing mirrors because the straps are super easy to use because they have a ratcheting design which cuts down on the time it takes to get them on/off the vehicle and it allows you to get a very snug fit which will work to reduce vibrations.
Please note, the strap-on type like the above are the only options for this vehicle. view full answer...
Yes, the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # F4175 is confirmed to fit all models of the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas.

When hauling a heavy load, these springs will reduce rear vehicle sag, improve steering and balance, and even reduce tire wear. It is rated at 500lbs, but make sure to never exceed the weight capacity of your vehicle.
While this kit does come with everything you need to install and... view full answer...
To convert the 7-Way on your 2018 VW Atlas to a 4-Way, I recommend using the Pollak Adapter # PK12716. This will plug right into the Pollak 7-Way on your vehicle and provide you with a 4-Way flat on the other end. It also features a nice tethered cap to protect the connector from debris and corrosion.
I have attached a short video demonstration on this adapter that you can also check out. view full answer...

For your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT96MR which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle, and its 750lb tongue weight will be perfect for carrying a bike rack.
If you do not already have a bike rack then I recommend taking a look at the Thule Hitching Post Pro 4-Bike Rack # TH934XTR which can accommodate up to 4 bikes weighing up to 35lbs each. The hold fast anti-sway cradles keep the bikes from... view full answer...
