Does Bumper have to be Trimmed to Install Curt Trailer Hitch C13366 on a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas
Question:
Do you have to trim the bumper of the atlas for the tongue of the hitch to fit?

Helpful Expert Reply:
I checked the installation instructions, linked for reference, for hitch # C13366. There is no trimming mentioned to install the hitch on a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas!
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. 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 rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
And for trailer wiring you can use T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector Item # 118754 which plugs in line with the vehicle tail light wiring.
