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... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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... view full answer...

Yes, you will be able to install the Thule AirScreen Fairing # TH82WV on the Thule 58 inch Square load bars (assuming you have the recommended bar length for your 2019 VW Atlas) and also mount a Thule Rooftop Cargo Box, like the Thule Motion XT XL # TH629806 or the Thule Force XT XL # TH6358B on the same bars.
You may need to slide the Airscreen farther to the right or left (see photo) in order to allow for the quick mount clamps to attach to the bar without interfering with the fairing... view full answer...
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.

I spoke with a representative of Tekonsha regarding this and was told that when installing the Prodigy P3 # 90195 that tech bulletin # TB0021 does apply to a 2018 VW Atlas. 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. view full answer...
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... view full answer...

Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C24ER is a custom fit hitch confirmed to fit your 2023 Volkswagen Atlas. This receiver gives you a 2" square tube for your hitch mounted accessories and ball mounts to fit into.
I recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C67WR when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector for connecting your trailer lights. It can also be used with Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you are using any hitch mounted accessories... view full answer...
Thanks for the photo, and in regards to clearance, it is referring to requiring 12mm of clearance on the inside of the tire for the Konig chains that fit your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas with 255/50R20 tires:
- Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # th2004705265
So you would need at least 12mm of clearance anywhere there might be contact, including both points you displayed on the photo. If you have less clearance, there is an option that requires just 10mm of clearance and fits 255/50R20... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
As long as the 7-way connector on your 2021 Volkswagen Atlas has 12v power the Autowbrake Electric Brake Controller - Trailer Mount - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional # 3430001 you were looking at will work just fine and is a great option as it installs on the trailer itself and can be towed with any vehicle with 12v power to the 7-way connector.
I included a video of the # 3430001 for you to take a look at. view full answer...

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... view full answer...
