Recommandation for the Best Hitch on the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas
Question:
What would the best hitch be for my 2018 Volkswagen Atlas?
asked by: William H
Expert Reply:
I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" part # 76176. This is a very easy hitch to install and will serve you very well for years to come. It offers a 900 lb. tongue weight rating and a 6000 lb. gross trailer weight rating. Be sure to check your owners manual for the towing rating of your Atlas and exceed that.
If wiring is needed i would go with Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118754. This custom fit harness plugs directly in between your tail light connectors and requires no cutting or splicing of your factory wiring harness. The T-one has proved to be the most reliable wiring harness that we have available and is my go to when doing an installation. Happy Hauling!
