Draw-Tite Tested Tough

Draw-Tite Tested Tough

Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.



Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.


In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

The trailer hitch came damaged from shipping the ears were bent so I had to hit on them pretty hard with a rubber mallet to get them close enough to fit up there. There was a lot of trimming of the caulking that needed to be done. I think the other trailer hitch that you have for sale on your website would’ve been easier to install. Also had to use touch up paint because we’re bend it was all chipped

I apologize for the flex in the hitch. This is a common occurrence since the brackets are made of mild steel to flex with potholes and similar situations. Using a rubber mallet can help or there are other tips in the help article attached. You did the right thing with covering the bare metal on your hitch with anti-corrosive paint to keep rust away.

  • Will Hands Free Liftgate Still Function of 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport with Draw Tite Hitch
    The hands free liftgate function of your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport will still function with the Draw Tite hitch # DT96MR installed but you'd have to kick to either side of the hitch opening instead.

  • What is the Best Trailer Hitch for My 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
    The trailer hitch I would recommend for your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C93CR. I recommend this hitch because it has a thicker powder coat finish than other hitches, which helps protect from rust and corrosion. For a wiring harness I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK89FR, because of the reliability the Tekonsha harnesses have. To complete your towing equipment, you...

  • Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
    There are two confirmed trailer hitch options for a 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C93CR and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT96MR. They are both great options with bolt-on installation and a hidden crosstube design.

  • Recommended Hitch Mounted Bike Rack That Won't Block Backup Camera on 2021 Volkswagen Atlas
    From what I have found the camera on the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas is located just above the rear license plate centered on the back of the vehicle. Based on this information, there will be some interference no matter what hitch mounted bike rack you use. In order to minimize blocking the camera, I recommend the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # S64670. This is a 2-bike rack that holds bikes by the frame. The mast folds down when not in use so it would...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2020 Volkswagen Atlas
    For your 2020 Volkswagen Atlas there is going to be a fitment difference between the Cross Sport models and the Non-Cross Sport models. If yours is a Cross Sport model then I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT96MR. This custom fit trailer hitch has an easy bolt-on installation with no welding required and is rated for a maximum gross trailer weight capacity of 5,000lbs and maximum tongue weight capacity of 750lbs. (note: as with any hitch you will need to review...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Harness For a 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
    I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT96MR for your 2020 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. I found that this receiver is easier to install than the Curt # C93CR that also fits your Atlas. You will not have to remove the exhaust hanger to install the receiver and torqueing the hardware is easier being as the hardware mounts through the side of the frame and not down through the frame. For the 4-Way harness I always recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport For Bike Rack
    I would be happy to help! 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...

  • Does this Hitch Fit a 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport?
    Yes, it does. The Curt item # C93CR is confirmed to fit the 2024 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. This hitch is custom fit for your VW and bolts to it with included hardware. I really like this hitch because it mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. The Curt item # C93CR is a class III hitch with a 2". It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C67WR and a ball...

  • Recommended Hitch For A 2021 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport
    I do have another option for your 2021 VW Atlas, but the Draw-Tite # 36635 is not designed to fit the Cross Sport option, unfortunately. With that being said, the Draw-Tite # DT96MR is designed to fit your 2021 Atlas Cross Sport and will be my recommendation. This is a larger hitch with a 2" opening though, so if you were looking for the 1-1/4" receiver for a bike rack or other accessory you have, you will need an adapter, like the Brophy Hitch Reducer # HT02. This will adapt the 2" receiver...
