This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.by: Corey05/06/2024
Great product, great shipping/packaging, great instructions/videos. This is a job that can totally be done DIY no problem if you own the right tools. Car jacks were not necessary. Parked car backwards in garage with front-end going downhill to lift the rear.
by: Trent 01/23/2024
The ordering process was really smooth and I received top notch customer service.
The hitch has worked perfectly for what I needed it for, without any issues at all.

I have a 2018 VW Atlas SE AWD. The part came way ahead of schedule. And I installed it without even lifting the car. (I did struggle a bit trying to hold it in place, but then again I was doing the job alone with some 2×4 to help me hold it in place). It fit perfectly. Just below the bumper. So NO BUMPER CUTTING. Looks awesome and pulls the trailer we need. I did have to drill out the insert holes (not the holding holes) just a bit to make the head of the crew fit. But that only took 2 min. Very good product and i highly recommend it!! Installed it alone in 45 min

I watched a YouTube video first, so it was very easy to install with two people. This hitch is pretty beefy so I needed my son's muscle to help!

Works great. Solid hitch receiver and fit perfectly. Of course, etrailer delivered it to us in a FLASH, as usual. :

2018 Volkswagen Atlas
Great Product. Great service. The shipping was fast, the price on etrailers was better than other online retailers for the same product. It fit my 2018 VW Atlas (4cil) perfectly. Had to google for an installation video to understand where to thread the fishing wires through. You will need to enlarge a couple of holes on the frame with a file so the bolt heads fit through (I suggest a dremel or file bit for your power drill) but it's not much, it can be done with a manual file if you are patient. All in all, installation took about 45 minutes without any problems. You do NOT have to cut the lower end of the bumper with this hitch as opposed to other brands, the downside is the hitch will hang lower so your departure angle will be decreased considerably.

This hitch has been great, my family and I like to go biking hiking and I am always using my hitch for cargo carrying and my bike rack and it works like a dream.... installation was easy also me and my brother put in on in about 20 minutes.

One year later and I couldn’t be happier. My towing needs are a 5x8 trailer loads supporting house improvement projects. This receiver flawlessly met this need.
Installation does require a fairly capable person to do it. If you are a “handyman”, then this is in your ability. Patience is another good thing to have. Although the installation isn’t the simplest thing, it is doable with basic tools and average skills.
Give it a try. Even if you can’t, surely a friend of yours can. May take an hour tops.

What a great product and company! The trailer hitch arrived as promised. I watched the install video before buying the hitch, and installed it from remembering the great easy video. It took me about 30 minutes to install by myself having to lay on the ground and lifting the hitch in place with the help of my leg - lol.
I highly recommend etrailer.com and I’m anticipating my first adventure using my new trailer hitch.

Wow! I was absolutely impressed with this company. They had my orders packed and ready for shipment in a couple hours. They don’t mess around. Their tracking also works great. When my order arrived the box was damaged but that could have been transport company’s fault. It’s hard to hold 70 pounds of steel in a cardboard box. Fortunately the parts where all there. Installation was a breeze with the included bolt pulls that are genius in themselves. Thanks etrailer, already placed a second order. Took me about 40 minutes by myself which was quite a balancing act laying under the car and supporting one end with my legs while attaching the other end. Second helper or jack stands maybe would have been helpful.
by: Tim07/18/2020
Install is straight forward and easy just like in the video. You just need a second person to help hold in place while securing nuts.
This will allow us to use bike rack hitch for weekend getaways in 2019 vw atlas.

2018 Volkswagen Atlas
I bought this hitch for my wife's 2018 VW Atlas. Super fast (and free) shipping was great. The hitch fits like a glove and is clearly made to fit the Atlas. I installed it myself, and the process was straight-forward, taking an hour. Widening the holes with a hand file was the longest part - took about 10 - 15' for each hole - I would recommend a Dremel or file attachment for a drill instead. Threading the bolts and plates was simple - my 10 and 6 year old even helped with that part. I got a bit nervous that I was going to push the bolt back through the frame when I removed the wire, but ultimately it all worked out fine. I definitely needed my wife's help to hold it my place while I screwed on the nuts. Finally - I did my best to torque the nuts to the recommended specs, but it's a tight space near the nuts closest to the fender.

Fit perfectly.
Glad I purchased from etrailer. Hitch was delivered on time and their website is a good source 9f knowledge.
They have earned my business.

Thank you! Very helpful and caring service! After U-hal failed to get a hitch that I needed for a move... (Ordered 1 month ahead of when I needed it and they did not tell me until 5 days before my travel) I ordered a trailer hitch on Friday from etrailer.com and with rush service I received it on Monday! Car is a VW Atlas 2020

2018 Volkswagen Atlas
I love how easy the installation was perfect fit didn't had to modify or cut anything
You do have to file a hole to make the bolts fit
But otherwise very easy and very practical
I will say that the packaging of the tow hitch was not that great UPS delivered the box and the hitch was sticking out of the box they could do a better job on the packaging...
That is why i didn't give them 5 stars

The only difficulty I encountered was getting the carriage bolts to go through the access holes. After several unsuccessful attempts (despite removing some of the protective underbody coating in one of the access holes as recommended in the instructions), I used a grinding center to remove less than 1 mm from the heads of the carriage bolts - worked like a charm.
by: Bob G03/24/2019
This is a great product that matched the sellers claims for quality and ease of installation. I am a young 83 year old that had more difficulty getting up and down from the garage floor that I did fishing the hardware in place!
The invisible hitch, except for the receiver, is a real winner from Curt products.

Fit my 2018 VW Atlas perfect. No modification to the frame to fit bolts through. The bolts will fit, a little tricky/tight. I coated my hitch in undercoating due to rusting on my old hitch/car (picture).

Quick easy install. All the hardware is included with instructions and pictures. I watched the video on the website to make it even easier. I did the install by myself.

E-Trailer is great, this is the second time I have order a hitch and wiring harness from them. Everything fits as described. Hitch went into place as easy as pie.
Great place to shop, with great prices.

Cant believe its already been over a year since I installed my hitch and wiring. This hitch was easy to install, it came with all the necessary items to make it possible. Although I did have to grind a small amount off metal off each side of the bolt head to feed the bolt up through the hole in the Atlas frame. I didnt want to cut out the undercoating that VW had applied to the frame. Thanks again, Etrailer.
by: James 02/23/2023
Fits perfectly. Great customer service and awesome installation video.
by: Jeffrey07/03/2022
The hitch fortunately was in good condition, and wiring was still in box, but your method of packaging sucks. The whole corner of the box was gone. There was no bubble wrap around the hitch. Your packaging methods suck.

I have sent this information over to our shipping department for them to correct these shipping methods.
by: Kevin08/23/2020
Very happy with the product. Install took roughly 1 hour. Wife helped hold the hitch for like 2 min, otherwise completely a solo install.
by: Pat 08/23/2022
I had my son assist with the install. Very easy for 2 of us, 1 person would be tough as it is pretty heavy. As it states in the instructions I had to enlarge the mounting holes. I used a step bit and then sprayed on some primer to protect the bare metal. This fit like it came from the factory. I’m very happy with this purchase. The instructional videos were great. I highly recommend.

- Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit For 2018 Volkswagen AtlasWhile we do have a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, the one you mentioned isn't a fit for this vehicle; the one that does fit which I recommend is from Curt: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13366 This hitch will give you the best ground clearance from the bottom of the hitch, which can be particularly important if you are going to be using the hitch for accessories like a bike rack. Also, if you plan to use the hitch for towing as well and need a trailer...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Volkswagen AtlasFor a 2 inch hitch for your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas the Draw Tite hitch part # 76176 is a confirmed fit and would be a great choice for your 2 inch hitch bike rack. This fits right up under the rear bumper too so ground clearance won't be too affected. The picture I attached shows this hitch installed. Access hole to feed the install hardware into the frame of your vehicle will need to be enlarged though. That's the most in-depth portion of the hitch install. The install is pretty basic...

- How To Carry Six Bikes On the Back Of a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas With Extra Cargo SpaceI do have an option for you but there would not be a good way to carry six bikes on the back of the vehicle alongside a cargo carrier. The only bike rack we offer that can carry six bikes is the Yakima HangOver 6 Bike Rack part # Y02485 and you cannot use any sort of adapter with this nor would the hitch be able to handle all of this weight most likely. The best option you have would be to use the above on the rear of the vehicle with a trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and 4-Way Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2019 Volkswagen AtlasThe trailer hitch I recommend for your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas is the Curt hitch part # C13366 because it has the best towing capacities, is mostly hidden so it looks great installed, and also installs easier than other options. Then for trailer wiring the Tekonsha kit part # 118754 is the best option as it installs very easily and comes with a very reliable converter box which means it will be the most likely to resist damaging itself due to a trailer wiring short.

- 2019 VW Volkswagen Atlas Trailer Hitch And 4-Way Wiring HarnessThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13366 is a great option for adding a hitch to your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas although we don't have an etrailer branded hitch currently that is a confirmed fit for this vehicle. This hitch will do the job for you whether you're looking to carry bikes, additional cargo, or towing. The black gloss finish looks great and will help resist corrosion for a long life of use on your Atlas. Installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch And Bike Rack For 2019 Volkswagen Atlas SEThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13366 is my pick for your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas SE. It's a low profile hitch with a minimally visible receiver. I included an installed image so you can see how it would look on yours. Should you decide to do more than carry a bike with your hitch, this hitch provides up to 900lbs of tongue weight capacity as well. You always want to check your owners manual first though so not to exceed vehicle limits. Regarding a bike carrier, I think the Inno Tire...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2020 Volkswagen AtlasFor your 2020 Volkswagen Atlas there is going to be a fitment difference between the Cross Sport models and the Non-Cross Sport models.

Additionally, I also highly recommend using Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors # 11755 to help prevent any type of corrosion in your connector; using it will increase your 4-way's durability and extend its lifespan.

If you don't already have a trailer hitch I also recommend picking up the Curt # C13366 to complete your hitch and wiring setup.

If the 10-1/2 inch measurement that you took of the hitch receiver on your Atlas is from the ground to the top of the inside of your 2 inch receiver, like the Curt # C13366, then you will need a ball mount that has at least a 5 inch rise as rise and drop measurements typically...

The Curt hitch is assembled in the USA, while the Draw-Tite is manufactured in Mexico, which is the only reason I might choose the one over the other.

view full answer... - Why Can't Weight Distribution System be Used with Curt Trailer Hitch on 2018 VW Atlas The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13366 referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2018 VW Atlas, is not rated for use with a weight distribution system. You cannot safely use a weight distribution system with this hitch on your vehicle. The issue is that the spring bar tension that a system puts on the hitch and vehicle is simply too much for some hitches and vehicles to safely handle. This pressure can potentially lead to damage both on the trailer hitch and vehicle...

It will provide you with a 2 inch receiver and it has a 6,000 towing weight capacity.

- Comparing Curt 2 Inch and Draw-Tite 2 Inch Trailer Hitches for a 2019 Volkswagen AtlasThe Curt Class III Receiver Hitch part # C13366 and Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch part # 76176 are both excellent options for a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas. I recommend the Curt option because the bracing for the receiver tube is a bit less bulky which essentially just translates to a sleeker overall look once installed. Furthermore, the Curt option has a much more durable powder coated finish when compared to the Draw-Tite option. In regards to installation, this is pretty simple....

It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have the right...
