Question:
Thank you for the response. I was wondering how the Curt version compares: C13366 I noticed its instructions don’t say anything about having to enlarge any holes, so the install seems simpler. Am I missing something else?

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 aside from that. I attached an install video for the hitch for you to check out below as well.
