Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2 # TH711520
Rapid Traverse Feet # TH480R

The Draw-Tite Class III, part # 75579 would be an excellent choice. The 2 inch receiver size means that there's a dizzying array of hitch mounted accessories available.
In my opinion, the bike rack with the biggest bang for the buck would be the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR. The rack can tilt rearwards once the bikes are removed, to allow rear cargo area access, and the rack includes crucial features like strong rubber straps to safely secure the bikes into the padded cradles... view full answer...
For your 2011 Volkswagen Routan the Draw Tite hitch part # 75579 is a confirmed fit and will be a great option for a hitch for your vehicle. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118490 which is a confirmed fit as well. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.
Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch... view full answer...
I recommend using this Inno setup for carrying 2 SUPs on your 2010 Volkswagen Routan:
57" Inno Aero Crossbars - # INXB145-2
Inno Through Feet - # INXS150
Inno Board Locker - # INA744
This setup not only looks sleek but comes with locks for the roof rack AND the carrier so you can feel more confident that your boards won't walk off by themselves if you need to make a pit stop on your journey. The carrier can hold 2 boards up to 23-1/2" wide.

We do have an option that will allow you to mount long crossbars on your roof with tracks. This application requires drilling. For that setup, I recommend the following parts:
- Yakima 42" Tracks for Roof Racks # Y01126

- x2 of the Landing Pad 1 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00221
- Round 58" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System # Y00409

You certainly can install a transmission cooler on your 2011 Volkswagen Routan. But just so you know ahead of time your vehicle uses the Chrysler 62TE automatic transmission. With these transmissions you have to use the special transmission fluid ATF+4 synthetic type 9602 from Chrysler. If not you will have transmission problems.
Since adding a cooler means the system will have more volume, additional fluid will be needed but you shouldn't need more than a quart (as a rough estimate).... view full answer...
When determining the overall towing capacity of a vehicle you must always go with the lowest rated component in the system as the overall capacity as a towing setup is only as strong as the weakest component.
This is especially true if the weakest component happens to be the vehicle as that's the only component that can't be swapped out for a higher capacity component.
The Draw-Tite part # 75579 is confirmed to fit your vehicle and has more capacity than you will be able to use. The... view full answer...
For the 215/65R16 size tires on your 2014 Volkswagen Transporter T5 I recommend going with the Konig Self-Tensioning, Low-Pro Snow Tire Chains # TH04115102 as they are very easy to install and are Class S compatible as they only require 9 mm of internal clearance.
If the problem is that the chains come in contact with components on the back side of the tire then I recommend using the K-Summit K44 Chains # TH02230K44 instead. These are self-tensioning as well and the unique design allows... view full answer...
We have spoken with Tekonsha about the BCM pin to use for installing a brake controller in a 2017 Chevy Equinox and they still state that the correct pin is the 11 pin.
I would still recommend verifying the pin with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. view full answer...
The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider part # HR1400Z would be a great option with the kids bike wheel adapter part # HRSW-ADP-2. It can fit up to 4 bikes and due to the adjustability of the hook that secures the bikes and the wheel cradles it would work well for all your bike sizes. I attached review videos down below for more info for you to check out as well. view full answer...
There is a strong chance that the part # 118490 that would normally fit a 2012 VW Routan would also fit your 2013. The reason it's not listed as a fit for your 2013 model is because the 2013 Routans were made in very limited numbers. Only 2,500 fleet Routans were made in 2013. What that means is that due to the rarity of the 2013 models Tow Ready never was able to get their hands on one to test.
So the only harness they list as a fit is a universal fit harness like part # C59236. view full answer...
The back up sensor part # HM60100VA that you referenced is a universal install product that would work well on your 2010 Volkswagen Routon.

The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part # 118490, is compatible with your 2010 Volkswagen Routan. The Curt option, part # 118534, will not work for your vehicle.
