Can you hear it? The splash of the fish as they pop out of the water and the screech of the reel as you pull them in. You can feel the rocking of your fishing boat as the waves smack against it. First, though, you need to tow your boat out to the water. The 2021 Volkswagen Atlas has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, so you can bring your boat out to the lake for the perfect fishing trip.
The friendly team at Toms River Volkswagen is here to help all our friends in the Toms River, Brick, and Freehold, New Jersey, areas find the best three-row SUV for their adventurous lifestyles.
2021 Volkswagen Atlas Engine PerformanceThe power under the hood helps determine what you can pull behind you. The 2021 VW Atlas has two available engines, both with 8-speed automatic transmissions:
| Engine | Horsepower | Torque | EPA-Estimated MPG |
| 2.0L 4-cylinder | 235 | 258 ft-lb | 21 city/ 24 highway MPG1 |
| 3.6L VR6 | 276 | 265 ft-lb | 17 city/ 23 highway MPG2 |
Either engine has the power you’ll need to get your canoes up to Winding River Park for a relaxing weekend on the water.
2021 Volkswagen Atlas InteriorIf you’re not the only one heading down to the beach for some sun, surf, and sand, no problem. The 2021 VW Atlas has seating for seven with plenty of room for each passenger. The front row has over 41 inches of legroom, the second row has almost 38 inches, and the rear row has nearly 34 inches.
If you’re planning on packing a picnic, you should take note of this SUV’s almost 21 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row. If you are the only one heading out to the shore and you want to bring your surfboard, with all seats folded down, there’s a maximum cargo capacity of nearly 97 cubic feet.
The 2021 VW Atlas is a great vehicle with a lot of power and pulling potential for whatever you might need for your trip to the beach. The energetic team at Toms River Volkswagen is just waiting to help you get the right SUV for your next adventure on the water.
