Fully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.
Features:
Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

Tough as nails product and the vehicle-specific install video was most excellent. Mama and the 12 yr old had it installed in an hour. There were some “dust in eyes” learning moments- wear safety glasses, and a few lifting heavy stuff while needing to finely maneuver it, but the bonding that took place is almost as great as loading the bike trailer into this beauty and shredding trails together!
Always love ordering from etrailer.com! Very specific choices for your exact vehicle. Service and delivery is always quick and the communication is amazing to the status of your order.
Packaging could be a little better and ergonomically sound. The hitch broke through the box in places and the paint was scratched/rubbed off.
Very happy with my order and will do so again!!
I ordered this hitch for my 2018 Volkswagen Atlas and it arrived quickly.
There was a small scrape on the hitch that likely occurred during shipping where some paint was missing, but it didn't affect the look or functionality.
The hitch was easy to install following the provided instructions and I love the fact that installing it did not involve cutting away any plastic from my vehicle. Lots of alternative hitches required some of the plastic underneath the bumper to be cut in order to fit the hitch. The most difficult aspect was using the torque wrench to tighten down the bolts due to the lack of space under my vehicle.
The hitch was purchased to support a bike rack, but I haven't purchased the rack yet, so I can't speak to it's long term functionality. However, it appears to be very solidly made and I have no worries that it will work as designed.
Purchased hitch for my 2018 VW Atlas. I don't think they could of shipped faster. Product fit perfectly and under the bumper where others wanted me to cut my bumper. The hitch bolted on perfectly with the help of their installation guide.
thanks
So happy to have found this product and this company.
U-haul strung me around for weeks before claiming there was no such thing and your only option is dealership.
VW dealership wanted $1200 just for this part.
The hitch was a little heavy for me to install myself but my mechanic was happy to install for $50. He mentioned that the hitch I had purchased was the sturdiest and most well built trailer hitch he had seen.
It also fits perfectly under the bumper and there was no need to cut bumper which uhaul had claimed they would have to do.
Shipping to Boston was quick and I am now happily lugging 4 bikes around on the back of my Atlas. Thanks!
Any one looking to add a bike rack trailer hitch to a 2018 VW Atlas, this is what you’re looking for.
Hitch came with chipped paint. Hopefully it won't rust

It will rust if you dont repair the paint. I am going to have our customer service team reach out to you since it arrived with paint damage. But in the meantime, rust resistant paint is what youll want to go with to prevent rust from forming.
Ordered on Tuesday, got it on Saturday. Installed by myself with the help of a floor jack and the install was complete in 30 minutes. After enlarging the chassis hole to fit the carriage bolt, the hardest part was fishing the bolt into their locations. Once that was in, the rest of the install went 1 - 2 -3. My only complaint is the the reach of the hitch is a bit short. It is about 5" from the edge of the bumper to the hitch
It was perfect extremely easy installed it as soon as I received it took me roughly around 30 mins to install instructions on the website were on point
Hitch fit excellent took under an hour to install myself just put a binder strap on one side to hold it up while starting the bolts on opposite side
They really got quick service on my draw tag trailer hitch and it fit perfect
Arrived in no time. Have not opened the box yet....but should be all good. Thanks!
Had it installed in 30 mins or so. Looks good, almost like it came factory. The hardest part was fishing the bolts thru the frame. The price was 25% of what VW would if charged me. I haven’t towed anything yet but I’m pretty happy with the appearance and installation.
Great hitch for the price! It fits 2021 VW Atlas S, but required cutting off a bit of under bumper in the center.
Package was damaged and an item was mis sing.

Oh no! Customer Service will reach out to you so that we can have missing part replaced.
I bought this trailer hitch receiver for my bike rack, I travel with my bike for competitions. I have had no issues with this receiver and I don't expect to. It is sturdy, well built and easy to use. I would recommend this hitch receiver.
Had to cut window in frame of car but overall it was a great buy and pretty easy to install. Fit perfectly!
This hitch does not fit 2021 Atlas. The videos make it seems so simple to install and that is what I was hoping for. The video shows the hitch sliding right up and bolting in. Nope. The rear bumper is in the way and I cannot lift it up to install it.

Thank you for the review! Sometimes a hitch can become flexed in shipping and it sounds like that is what happened here. I attached a link to some ways you can straighten out a hitch.

Came quickly and in good shape, thanks!
After reading reviews, and doing a little research, I decided to get the Draw-Tite hitch for my wife's 2019 VW Atlas. E-trailer shipped it quickly, and I had the hitch in a couple of days. After watching the installation video on the E-trailer site, I installed the hitch by myself in about 30-40 minutes. If I had someone to help me, I could have installed it faster. I would recommend a second pair of strong hands, but I was able to utilize a floor jack to get the job done. Installation was straight forward, and the hitch fits the Atlas perfectly! Thanks to E-trailer for a great match to my vehicle, quality installation videos, and the best price around!!!
Great customer service from etrailer. Ordered a hitch for my 2018 Atlas, when it arrived, the box had taken a minor beating and it had number of dings in the paint finish. Spoke with Julie at etrailer - sent me a prepaid return label and shipped out a replacement hitch that same day. I received it 4 days later. Kudos to Julie and etrailer for great customer service !!!
Easy to install on my 2018 VW Atlas RLine it looks great & is sturdy! One would never know it was not OEM.
Product arrived in great condition. This hitch fit our 2018 VW Altas perfectly and required no bumper trimming, drilling, scraping, or anything. With the help of a floor jack to hold the weight of the hitch, I was able to get this installed in less than 45min. It literally is only a 4 bolt installation. The majority of my time was spent trying to fish the wire through the vehicle frame. It wasn't difficult, I was just working in a low light environment and I have eye sight issues so everything is a bit harder for me than most! Very pleased and will definitely purchase again from eTrailer for equipment needs.
Great product! Having the trailer hitch allowed this family of 5 to vacation comfortably in our SUV. It was great being able to hook up an extra storage grate on the back of the car!
This was simple, not much skill required. Exactly as they show in the video. 2 small car ramps is all you need. Just a little filing on the existing holes and the bolts pull thru no problem. I did it by myself using a jack and small stand to get hitch into position for bolts. It took me about an hour. 20min install with help
Easy to install. About 30-45 minutes without a lift. Instructional videos for your automobile type makes install a snap. Recommend something to prop up your hitch if you do not have a lift.(is. Jack stands ..etc) . I have a 2019 VW atlas
