Curt Trailer Hitch Installation - 2018 Volkswagen Atlas Video

I strongly recommend running the 12 volt power wire from the Curt Wiring Harness, #C59496, directly to the vehicle battery. The 12 volt accessory circuit was not designed to support the additional load of a trailer wiring harness. A wiring harness…

I recommend Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver part #76176 which is a concealed cross tube hitch for the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas. The only part of the hitch that is visible once installed is the receiver. It also sits up a bit higher compared to the other…

Based on what you described wanting the best hitch solution we have for your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas is the EcoHitch part #306-X7362 as it is the least visible option and offers best ground clearance. Instead of having the hitch tube under the rear…

Yes, all of our hitches come with the necessary mounting hardware. This Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver, part #13328, also requires a 17mm short socket, a 19mm socket, a 4-inch extension, a ratchet and a torque wrench for the installation.

Weight distribution systems put a bit more torque on the hitch and frame of the vehicle due to the spring bars pulling up pretty hard on the head of the system. Not every vehicle/hitch is going to be heavy duty enough to allow this and not…

I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver #76176 for your 2021.5 Volkswagen Atlas SELP. We have installed both the Draw-Tite and Curt #C24ER in our shop and found the Draw-Tite was 1/2" higher at 13-1/2" to the inside top…

The Curt Class III Receiver Hitch part #C13366 and Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch part #76176 are both excellent options for a 2019 Volkswagen Atlas. I recommend the Curt option because the bracing for the receiver tube is a bit less…

Yes, the #PK11893 will work for you. This is a 7-way basically made for the industry standard style of 7-ways which I compared to the VW brand 7-way part #7L0-055-305-N that you referenced and it's an exact match and costs less!

The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas is the Curt hitch part #C13366 because it has the best towing capacities, is mostly hidden so it looks great installed, and also installs easier than other options. Then for trailer wiring…

The Hopkins Multi-Tow Trailer Connector Adapter #HM47570 will work in the 7-way trailer socket on virtually any vehicle that has one. This item converts the 7-way connector format to three others that are in common use: 4-pole flat, 5-pole flat and…

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…
