All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Volkswagen Atlas (excluding Cross Sport; see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 6,000 lbs. GTW and 900 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Volkswagen Atlas (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

Yes, CURT part number 13366 is designed for 2018-Present Volkswagen Atlas SUVs. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle year and model match this specification. If you have a different year or model, contact CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 to confirm fitment.
The CURT 13366 is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 6,000 lbs and a tongue weight of 900 lbs when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than the hitch rating. Check your vehicle's owner manual for the maximum towing capacity your Atlas can safely handle.
The minimum tongue weight is 20 lbs. This is the lightest load that should be applied to the hitch tongue.
The minimum trailer weight is 40 lbs. This is the lightest trailer that should be towed with this hitch.
You will need: a ratchet, a 3/4" socket, a torque wrench, and safety glasses. Fishwire is also required as part of the installation process. Using proper tools will greatly improve the quality of the installation and reduce the time required.
The kit includes: 4 bolts (part 10-10287, 1/2-13 UNC, 1-1/2", Grade 8, yellow zinc), 4 square hole spacers (CM-SP6, .250 x 1.00 x 3.00"), 4 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062, 1/2-13 UNC, Grade 8, yellow zinc), and 1/2" x 30" fishwire (qty 4). All fasteners are Grade 8 yellow zinc plated.
Two people may be required to ease installation. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. You can also call CURT technical support at 877-287-8634 for help.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. Before you begin installation, read all instructions thoroughly. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer.
1. Use fishwire to thread 2 of the 1/2" carriage bolts and CM-SP6 spacers into the existing holes in each frame rail (both driver and passenger sides). Note: removal of underbody coating from the access hole may be required. 2. Raise the hitch into position and loosely secure it with the 1/2" hex flange nuts. 3. Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft using a torque wrench.
Fishwire is a flexible wire tool used to thread the carriage bolts and spacers through the existing holes in the vehicle's frame rails. It is required because the holes are not directly accessible and the fishwire allows you to guide the bolts into position from the access holes on both sides of the frame. The kit includes 1/2" x 30" fishwire for this purpose.
Removal of underbody coating from the access hole may be required. This depends on your specific vehicle and how much coating is present around the access holes on both sides of the frame rails.
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb-ft. This includes the 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts and the 1/2-13 UNC hex flange nuts. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightness.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Non-trailer loads include cargo carriers, bike racks, or other equipment that does not have wheels. Do not apply such loads without the stabilizing straps. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information about part 18050.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Although the CURT 13366 is rated for 6,000 lbs trailer weight and 900 lbs tongue weight, your Volkswagen Atlas may have a lower maximum towing capacity. Always check your vehicle's owner manual and follow the manufacturer's towing limits, as exceeding them can damage your vehicle and create a safety hazard.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps prevent loosening of bolts due to vibration and wear, and ensures the hitch remains safe for towing. Check the hitch before each towing trip.

CURT part 56383 is a powered converter lead and trailer wiring harness system designed for SUVs and vans. It converts the vehicle's taillight signals (left turn, right turn, brake, and tail/running lights) into a standard 4-flat trailer connector. The system includes a black converter box that processes the signals and a power lead that connects to the vehicle battery for operation.
CURT 56383 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. The manual does not list specific vehicle makes, models, or years. Check your vehicle owner's manual to confirm it has a 12-volt negative ground system. For specific vehicle compatibility, contact CURT or consult a fitment database.
No. The manual explicitly states this converter system is to be used only on 12-volt negative ground systems. It is not compatible with 24-volt systems or positive ground vehicles.
Required tools are: ratchet, ratchet extension, socket (10mm), wire crimper, wire stripper, cutting tool, and panel trim removal tool. These tools are needed for removing interior panels, disconnecting the battery, crimping wire connections, and securing the harness.
The kit includes: a custom wiring harness with yellow, green, white, and black wires; a black converter box; a white ground wire with ring terminal; a provided screw for grounding; double-sided tape for mounting the converter box; cable ties for securing loose wires; a 4-flat dust cover; and a 15-amp fuse holder with 15-amp fuse.
Yes. Step 1 requires you to locate the vehicle battery and disconnect the negative battery terminal before beginning installation. Fasten this wire down and away from the battery. Reconnect it only after all other installation steps are complete and the fuse is installed.
The installation is rated as Moderate difficulty. The manual recommends reading all instructions thoroughly before beginning and notes that proper tools will improve installation quality and reduce time required.
For SUVs and vans, the taillight wiring harness connectors are located behind the interior side panels. The driver side connector is behind the driver side interior side panel (location S1 or S3 depending on access), and the passenger side connector is behind the passenger side interior side panel (location S2 or S4). You access these by removing the scuff panel and pulling out the interior side panels.
Locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. Separate the connector from the taillight housing by carefully removing the locking tabs. Insert the custom wiring harness end (yellow wire for driver side, green wire for passenger side) between the separated connectors. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place. Repeat this process on both sides of the vehicle.
Mount the black converter box on a flat spot inside the vehicle near the taillight using the provided double-sided tape. The converter box should be positioned after routing the custom wiring harness end with the green wire down behind the interior side panel and out to the passenger side.
Route the black 12-gauge power wire from the vehicle battery to the converter, taking care to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components. When the trailer is in use, route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll up and store the 4-flat in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Not necessarily. Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable existing point is available, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided screw. The grounding area should be free of rust, dirt, and paint. Always check for hidden items behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid damage and personal injury.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole if a suitable existing grounding point is not available. This hole is for the provided screw that secures the white ground wire ring terminal to the vehicle frame.
Signal circuits (left turn, right turn): 5.0 amps per side. Tail/Running circuits: 7.5 amps total. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 15-amp maximum fuse. Do not exceed the product rating or the tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower.
Use a 15-amp maximum fuse. The fuse holder with 15-amp fuse is provided in the kit. Install the fuse after all other installation steps are complete, including battery reconnection.
The power lead uses 12-gauge wire or larger. This wire connects from the vehicle battery to the converter system.
Yellow wire: Left turn signal. Green wire: Right turn signal. Red wire: Brake signal. Brown wire: Tail/running lights. White wire: Ground. Black wire: Power (connects to positive battery terminal). The yellow wire connects to the driver side taillight harness, and the green wire connects to the passenger side taillight harness.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal before wiring. Route the black 12-gauge power wire to the positive battery terminal using a ring terminal connector. Secure the ring terminal to the positive battery post. After all other installation steps are complete, install the 15-amp fuse in the fuse holder. Finally, reconnect the negative battery terminal.
When passing the power wire through sheet metal, use an existing grommet, add a new grommet, or use silicone to protect the power wire from sharp edges. This prevents the wire from being damaged and causing electrical faults or fire hazards.
Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. The battery connection must be fuse-protected with a 15-amp maximum fuse. Exceeding the product rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating, and potential fire. Additionally, always check for hidden items before drilling, and route the power wire to avoid pinch points and hot or rotating components.
When not in use, roll up the 4-flat connector and store it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location inside the trunk. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion.
After installation, test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. This verifies that all signal circuits (left turn, right turn, brake, and tail/running lights) are functioning correctly before towing.
Periodic inspection of all wires and connections should be performed to ensure there is no visible damage or loose connections. Check the 4-flat connector and dust cover regularly, especially if the trailer is used frequently or stored in harsh conditions.
CURT 56383 is designed for SUVs and vans with 12-volt negative ground electrical systems. Confirm your vehicle has a 12-volt negative ground system in your owner's manual. For specific vehicle compatibility, contact CURT or consult a fitment database.
Yes, disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting installation. Reconnect it only after all other steps are complete and the fuse is installed.
Drilling is not always required. Use an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame for grounding if available. If not, drill a 3/32" pilot hole for the provided ground screw. Always check for hidden items before drilling.
Use a 15-amp maximum fuse. The fuse holder with 15-amp fuse is included. Install the fuse after all other steps are complete.
The power lead uses 12-gauge wire or larger, connecting from the vehicle battery to the converter.
