Question:
I just purchased a 2018 VW Atlas. I want to put a trailer hitch on the vehicle. Can you tell me what wiring harness/fixture I need. Is there anything else I need other than hitch and wiring components?

Starting with the trailer hitch for your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch # 76176. This is a great Class III hitch that will provide a 2 inch receiver opening and a 6,000 pound towing capacity, although I also recommend checking the capacity of the vehicle itself as listed in the owner's manual. I have attached the installation details for you to check out.
Then for wiring, I recommend the Curt Wiring Harness # C56383.
