• 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.

• Recommended Roof Crossbars for a 2022 Volkswagen Atlas

• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C93CR that fits the 2021 VW Atlas Cross Sport has a maximum towing capacity of 5000-lbs (the same as your 2021 VW Atlas), so this hitch is rated just fine to tow a 3500-lbs trailer and will do a good job. Curt hitches have a thicker powder coat than some others on the market, which helps protect the hitch from nicks that might lead to rust and corrosion on the hitch, so it's generally what I recommend using. If you DO NOT have...

• Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform For 2022 Volkswagen Atlas With Raised Rails
