What Is The Maximum Tongue Weight For the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7362?

Question:

Currently looking into this part for my 2018 VW Atlas however, I noticed that the Torklift Central website said that this part has a max tongue weight of 500 lbs but that this site says that it is 750 lbs. Is this part actually rated for a tongue weight of 750lbs?

I reached out to Torklift to confirm the weight rating of the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7362 and they confirmed the maximum tongue weight is 750lbs. They are now aware of the discrepancy listed on their website and are working to fix the issue. Do be sure to verify the maximum tongue weight and trailer capacity on your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas as it does not always have the same rating as the receiver.

The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118754 will give you a 4-way flat connector that will control the lights on most small trailers you may tow. It will also allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 in the event you have a hitch mounted accessory that impairs the view of your tail lights.
