Sway Control Options Without Use of Weight Distribution System
Question:
I have a VW Atlas 3.6L V6 model which indicates you can not use weight distribution. I plan on adding the Firestone airbags however am also looking for a sway control system that does not require weight distribution. I am looking to pull a WolfPup 17JG 3800lb trailer which is well within the towing capacity however want some sway control options. I see there are electronic option however is there other items that you would pair with this or would this do the job. Thanks

You hit the nail right on the head for the best option for sway control that does not require the use of a weight distribution system, which is an electronic sway control, the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000.
This is going to do the job of helping control sway on your 2019 VW Atlas wonderfully by itself, and there isn't going to be anything else needed. The Sway Command is easy to set up and is going to counteract trailer sway by lightly tapping the trailer brakes to ensure control.
It will pair perfectly with the leveling and stability the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4175 will give your 2019 VW Atlas.
