Expert Answers about Volkswagen Atlas


  • Recommended Wiring Harness and Trailer Brake Controller For 2019 Volkswagen Atlas
  • To tow a small trailer with brakes with the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas you need a 7-Way plug on the back of the Atlas. To add the 7-Way I recommend to use the upgrade wiring kit part # ETBC7L. Then you can use the Curt Echo brake controller part # C51180. This is the easiest way to obtain a brake controller because the Curt Echo simply plugs into the 7-Way connector and allows you to control the brake settings via your smart phone. We designed the ETBC7L kit specifically for using the Curt...

  • Lowest Profile Roof Rack for 2019 VW Atlas With Raised Side Rails
  • For your 2019 Volkswagen Atlas, the Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars # TH36FE and Edge Raised Rail Feet # TH69SC will be approximately 2" above the rails. The Edge rack will be the lowest-profile roof rack that is available for your 2019 VW Atlas. I do recommend considering locks to secure it to your roof by adding the Lock Cylinders # TH450400.

  • Will Curt Echo Brake Controller Work with 2018 Volkswagen Atlas with Factory Installed Hitch
  • The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 is a great way to keep from having to mess with anything on the interior of your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas and it only needs the basic trailer light and 12V power functions active to work properly. I'm guessing that the "pulse" the trailer rental company rep found is the VWs way of checking to see if a trailer is connected as that's somewhat common. It should send full power back once it can sense that a trailer has been connected. The...

  • Cable Lock For Rola Swinging Enclosed Cargo Carrier
  • I guess you could add as many locks as you want like the Cable Lock # 8419DPF but the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR includes 5 SAME KEY SYSTEM locks to secure the system, the carrier, and your gear. A lock secures the base to your vehicle's hitch receiver and locks in the arms secure the cargo carrier. Finally, the cargo carrier has a lock to secure your gear. Because the cargo carrier only uses 1 lock, this EXO configuration will come with an extra lock core. Take...

That means you are going to need a 12V, normally open relay; I've also added a link to a help article about the necessary steps you'll need to take to complete the installation.

  • Recommended 7 to 4-Way Adapter for a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas
  • The best option we have for you would be to replace the trailer connector on your 2018 Volkswagen Atlas with the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket part # HM40975 which is a plug and play option. The reason that this is the best option for you is because adapters like the Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole with Tester and Cover part # 47345 can have different tolerances which is the only reason that I can think of as to why it will not work for you. These types of adapters...

  • Gen-Y Shock Absorbing Ball Mount Orientation and Compatibility
  • There is a correction for the Gen-Y Glyder Shock Absorbing Ball Mount # 325-GH-12005. It is only capable of being mounted in the drop position. To get the rise you are looking for in a shock absorbing style hitch I recommend the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount # AMSC10. This allows for 8-3/4"" or rise and 10" drop.

  • Thule Bike Rack Compatibility with Thule XT Roof Cargo Basket
  • The Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT-8591XT can use the Thule UpRide # TH599000. The shorter # TH859XT will not allow enough space for the bike carrier to fit in the basket and the crossbar spread is not adequate to span the gap. If you want the bike carrier to ride on bars above the basket for more stability, you would need to use a basket with a crossbar like the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket and Extension # Y07080-82...
