For your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas we have just the fit for you with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C24ER. This custom-fit fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your Volkswagen Atlas's frame with no welding required. It has a gloss black powder coat finish over protective base coat offers superior rust resistance for a long lifespan.
If you plan on towing a trailer then you'll also need a trailer wiring harness. I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C67WR. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side rear access panels. You will have to remove trunk floor coverings, scuff panel, and interior side panel to access this harness. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery.
Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed in an out-of-the-way location within your trunk or a mounting bracket # 18144 can be used to keep your 4-pole connector from flailing around.
For a ball mount I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches - 7,500lbs # 989900. This kit comes with a 2" or 4" drop and a 1" or 3" rise. It has both a 1-7/8" ball and 2" ball to allow you to tow multiple trailers as well.
