Great Product. I am not a professional but the hitch installed super easy. I did not need to make holes or nothing!

Great product, great shipping/packaging, great instructions/videos. This is a job that can totally be done DIY no problem if you own the right tools. Car jacks were not necessary. Parked car backwards in garage with front-end going downhill to lift the rear.

I have a 2018 VW Atlas SE AWD. The part came way ahead of schedule. And I installed it without even lifting the car. (I did struggle a bit trying to hold it in place, but then again I was doing the job alone with some 2×4 to help me hold it in place). It fit perfectly. Just below the bumper. So NO BUMPER CUTTING. Looks awesome and pulls the trailer we need. I did have to drill out the insert holes (not the holding holes) just a bit to make the head of the crew fit. But that only took 2 min. Very good product and i highly recommend it!! Installed it alone in 45 min

It was a rock solid product it worked great for any kind of use whether I was pulling a U-Haul or attached a cargo carrier for camping I would definitely recommend it to anybody looking for a trailer hitch receiver.

2018 VolkswagenAtlas

Great Product. Great service. The shipping was fast, the price on etrailers was better than other online retailers for the same product. It fit my 2018 VW Atlas (4cil) perfectly. Had to google for an installation video to understand where to thread the fishing wires through. You will need to enlarge a couple of holes on the frame with a file so the bolt heads fit through (I suggest a dremel or file bit for your power drill) but it's not much, it can be done with a manual file if you are patient. All in all, installation took about 45 minutes without any problems. You do NOT have to cut the lower end of the bumper with this hitch as opposed to other brands, the downside is the hitch will hang lower so your departure angle will be decreased considerably.

I watched a YouTube video first, so it was very easy to install with two people. This hitch is pretty beefy so I needed my son's muscle to help!

Works great. Solid hitch receiver and fit perfectly. Of course, etrailer delivered it to us in a FLASH, as usual. :



by:
2018 VolkswagenAtlas

One year later and I couldn’t be happier. My towing needs are a 5x8 trailer loads supporting house improvement projects. This receiver flawlessly met this need.

Installation does require a fairly capable person to do it. If you are a “handyman”, then this is in your ability. Patience is another good thing to have. Although the installation isn’t the simplest thing, it is doable with basic tools and average skills.

Give it a try. Even if you can’t, surely a friend of yours can. May take an hour tops.



by:

Great hitch. Trailers, Boats, etc. this hitch has not failed me yet. Not even close to being worn, looks as good as it did day 1. This is the third vehicle I’ve installed an etrailer hitch on. Great quality!



by:
2018 VolkswagenAtlas

What a great product and company! The trailer hitch arrived as promised. I watched the install video before buying the hitch, and installed it from remembering the great easy video. It took me about 30 minutes to install by myself having to lay on the ground and lifting the hitch in place with the help of my leg - lol.

I highly recommend etrailer.com and I’m anticipating my first adventure using my new trailer hitch.

Fit perfectly.

Glad I purchased
from etrailer. Hitch was delivered on time and their website is a good source 9f knowledge.

They have earned my business.

I bought this hitch for my wife's 2018 VW Atlas. Super fast (and free) shipping was great. The hitch fits like a glove and is clearly made to fit the Atlas. I installed it myself, and the process was straight-forward, taking an hour. Widening the holes with a hand file was the longest part - took about 10 - 15' for each hole - I would recommend a Dremel or file attachment for a drill instead. Threading the bolts and plates was simple - my 10 and 6 year old even helped with that part. I got a bit nervous that I was going to push the bolt back through the frame when I removed the wire, but ultimately it all worked out fine. I definitely needed my wife's help to hold it my place while I screwed on the nuts. Finally - I did my best to torque the nuts to the recommended specs, but it's a tight space near the nuts closest to the fender.

Wow! I was absolutely impressed with this company. They had my orders packed and ready for shipment in a couple hours. They don’t mess around. Their tracking also works great. When my order arrived the box was damaged but that could have been transport company’s fault. It’s hard to hold 70 pounds of steel in a cardboard box. Fortunately the parts where all there. Installation was a breeze with the included bolt pulls that are genius in themselves. Thanks etrailer, already placed a second order. Took me about 40 minutes by myself which was quite a balancing act laying under the car and supporting one end with my legs while attaching the other end. Second helper or jack stands maybe would have been helpful.



by:

Install is straight forward and easy just like in the video. You just need a second person to help hold in place while securing nuts.
This will allow us to use bike rack hitch for weekend getaways in 2019 vw atlas.



by:
2018 VolkswagenAtlas

I love how easy the installation was perfect fit didn't had to modify or cut anything
You do have to file a hole to make the bolts fit
But otherwise very easy and very practical

I will say that the packaging of the tow hitch was not that great UPS delivered the box and the hitch was sticking out of the box they could do a better job on the packaging...
That is why i didn't give them 5 stars



by:

Thank you! Very helpful and caring service! After U-hal failed to get a hitch that I needed for a move... (Ordered 1 month ahead of when I needed it and they did not tell me until 5 days before my travel) I ordered a trailer hitch on Friday from etrailer.com and with rush service I received it on Monday! Car is a VW Atlas 2020



by:
2018 VolkswagenAtlas

The only difficulty I encountered was getting the carriage bolts to go through the access holes. After several unsuccessful attempts (despite removing some of the protective underbody coating in one of the access holes as recommended in the instructions), I used a grinding center to remove less than 1 mm from the heads of the carriage bolts - worked like a charm.



by:

This is a great product that matched the sellers claims for quality and ease of installation. I am a young 83 year old that had more difficulty getting up and down from the garage floor that I did fishing the hardware in place!
The invisible hitch, except for the receiver, is a real winner from Curt products.



by:
Volkswagen

Fit my 2018 VW Atlas perfect. No modification to the frame to fit bolts through. The bolts will fit, a little tricky/tight. I coated my hitch in undercoating due to rusting on my old hitch/car (picture).



by:

Quick easy install. All the hardware is included with instructions and pictures. I watched the video on the website to make it even easier. I did the install by myself.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2018 Volkswagen Atlas SE for Bike Towing Use
    For your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas SE the hitch I suggest for your bike transport application is the Draw-Tite 2-inch Class III model # 76176. This hitch offers a substantial 900-lb tongue weight rating, making it easily capable of handling even the highest-capacity and heaviest 2-inch hitch bike racks out there. If your use is towing a motorcycle trailer this hitch again has the capacity you need and then some. The Curt hitch you referenced, part # C13366, has identical weight ratings. The...

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 mount to the bottom of the receiver tube according to my tech contract at Draw-Tite.

  • Difference Between Curt and Draw-Tite Class III Hitches Available for 2020 Volkswagen Atlas
    Both the Curt # C13366 and the Draw-Tite # 76176 have been designed to be mostly concealed behind the bumper once installed. The only portion of the hitch that will be visible from the rear is the receiver tube and the safety chain loops. Both hitches have the same exact weight capacities and an identical installation procedure. The Curt model will provide an extra half inch of ground clearance at 14 inches, if that parameter is important to you. How to choose between the two? Both are...

    For a 2 inch hitch for your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas the Draw Tite hitch part # 76176 is a confirmed fit and would be a great choice for your 2 inch hitch bike rack. This fits right up under the rear bumper too so ground clearance won't be too affected. The picture I attached shows this hitch installed. Access hole to feed the install hardware into the frame of your vehicle will need to be enlarged though. That's the most in-depth portion of the hitch install. The install is pretty basic...

    If you are trying to choose between the Saris Freedom 4 Bike Platform Rack # SA4414B and the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR4000 for your 2019 Vokswagen Atlas, I recommend the Saris Freedom 4 if you are planning to transport heavier bikes. With the Freedom 4, the front 2 positions of the rack have a per-bike capacity of 60 pounds, which is beneficial for bikes that might outweigh the 35 pound per-bike weight capacity of the Destination.

    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 bulky which essentially just translates to a sleeker overall look once installed. Furthermore, the Curt option has a much more durable powder coated finish when compared to the Draw-Tite option. In regards to installation, this is pretty simple....
