I recommend Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver part # 76176 which is a concealed cross tube hitch for the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas. The only part of the hitch that is visible once installed is the receiver. It also sits up a bit higher compared to the other options of hitches for better ground clearance. I have attached a photo for your reference.
For the wiring, I recommend Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118754 which is designed to plug into the rear cargo area for an easy install. The black power wire needs to be extended to the vehicle's battery for the converter.
If you plan on doing some towing you may consider the 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 rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If you are not sure how much rise/drop you may need in a ball mount to tow your trailer level, I recommend to take a look at the helpful article I have attached about how to figure the amount of rise or drop you may
