Comparing Curt 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver to Draw-Tite 2 Inch Receiver for 2019 VW Atlas
Question:
Can you please compare the dimensions of the two Class III hitches you offer Curt vs. Drawtite? I would like to know if the position of the ends of the hitches are identical, or if one protrudes out the back of the vehicle more/less. Also, are the drops of the hitches identical? Thanks!

For your 2019 VW Atlas, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13366 will be about 1-1/2 inches recessed behind your bumper and will drop 8.44 inches from the frame mount to the bottom of the receiver tube according to my tech contact at Curt.
The Draw-Tite # 76176 will have the receiver tube extend about 6-1/2 inches from the rear mounting hole and will drop 8.8 inches from the frame mount to the bottom of the receiver tube according to my tech contract at Draw-Tite.
So they will give you about the same pin hole location from the rear edge of your bumper and the Curt will offer slightly higher ground clearance.
For your trailer wiring, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118754 confirmed to fit your vehicle and will give you a 4-way flat connector for a trailer or lighted cargo carrier.
