Expert Answers about Chevrolet Cruze

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel Towing a Seadoo Spark PWC
• For your 2014 Chevy Cruze diesel I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24882. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. You can also see how much of the hitch is visible in the video. For a ball mount use # 3593. It comes with a pin and clip. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19257. Or if the trailer requires a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring you can use # 118508 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear...

• Curt or Draw Tite Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Chevy Cruze
• The mounting brackets of the Curt Hitch part # C11282 are much bigger than the Draw Tite hitch part # 24882. That is the weight difference. If it were me I would go with the Draw Tite. It has a better price, the same capacities, doesn't require a stabilizer strap like the Curt does with non-supported loads, but also because the lighter weight will make it easier to install. For trailer wiring you would want the part # C56214, for a ball mount part # 3593, and then for hitch balls part...

• Roof Rack and Cargo Basket Recommendation for a 2013 Chevy Cruze
• First thing you will need for your 2013 Chevy Cruze is a roof rack. For that you would want the Rhino Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK142. This is a great roof rack that doesn't break the bank like some of the other racks that are on the market. For a great cargo basket then to fit that rack the Thule Canyon XT part # TH859XT would be a great option. This is also a great basket that doesn't cost nearly as much as the other ones on the market.

• Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Chevy Cruze Sedan with Diesel Motor
• Curt has not performed a test fit for hitch # C11439 on a 2017 Chevy Cruze sedan with diesel motor so it is not a confirmed fit. But you can use Draw-Tite hitch # 24943 since it mounts in the same place as the bumper beam. I have linked the installation instructions for you. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to...

• Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Cruze
• For your 2014 Chevy Cruze the Sportrack roof rack part # SR1010 is a confirmed fit but since this is a semi-custom roof rack I have a better option for you to consider. Instead I would recommend the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK142. Custom fit racks by Rhino Rack will fit MUCH better than the Sportrack racks which are designed to fit as many vehicles as possible yet not have a perfect fit with any. If you went with a J-style of kayak carrier like the part #...

• Recommended Cargo Carrier and Hitch Receiver for Moped with 2014 Chevy Cruze LTZ 1.4L
• For your 2014 Chevy Cruze LTZ 1.4L, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24882. Then I recommend the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110. This carrier weighs 30 lbs and will allow you the flat surface area needed for your 1978 Puch Maxi moped. These weights will allow you to safely transport your moped. In addition, I recommend the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch for 1-1/4" Trailer Hitches # RM-061-125 to reduce movement in the hitch. I also recommend the soft loops...

• Trailer Hitch And Wiring Recommendation For 2012 Chevrolet Cruze
• From the research I found, the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze has a towing capacity of 1,000 lbs. The Curt Hitch, part # C11282, will work for you. This is a Class l hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. To tow a trailer you will need ball mount # C45522, pin and clip # F-4, and a...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2013 Chevy Cruze
• The price difference and the name of the hitches are due to different manufacturers. Since both the Curt option, part # C11282, and the Draw-Tite option, part # 24882, are 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers with a 200 lbs Tongue Weight capacity and 2,000 lbs Gross Towing Weight Capacity they are pretty much the same hitch. I do recommend going with the Draw-Tite Sport Frame # 24882 though (the "Sport" is just part of the name of the hitch) because the Curt warranty requires that a Support...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Cruze
• Since there are only Class I 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches that are a fit for your 2015 Chevy Cruze like the Draw Tite part # 24882 which have very low capacities your best option will be a small trailer as none of the options we offer will be rated for a carrier and the weight of a power wheel chair. This hitch only has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118508 which is a confirmed fit as well. For a ball mount you'd want the part...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2014 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ With RS Package
• The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 24882, is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ with the RS package. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I have attached a drawing that shows the hitch receiver along with the fascia. Because of the lower back bumper on the LTZ, you will need a drawbar with a rise to accommodate an accessory like a bike rack or a cargo carrier. If you plan on towing a small trailer with your Cruze, I recommend...

I checked your owners manual and there is not a weight capacity referenced, so the 165 lbs is your max capacity...

• Will Curt Bike Rack C18085 Clear Rear Bumper of 2014 Chevy Cruze with Curt Hitch Installed
• The Curt bike rack # C18085 that you referenced has 12-1/2 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole to the nearest portion of the bike rack so it would easily clear the 8 inches you have from the hitch pin hole to the back of the bumper. Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well.

• Recommended Cargo Bag For Curt C18145 Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
• Although it would be slightly larger than the inside dimension of the Curt # C18145 carrier, the MaxxTow Cargo Bag, part # M2202 would be the closest fit, and is what I'd recommend. The bag is 46 x 22 inches, versus the 46-3/8 x 17-9/16 interior dimensions of the cargo carrier, but the bag is soft sided and would still fit just fine in the carrier. The durable bag is constructed of a weather resistant PVC material, it includes 8 tie-down straps and features hook and loop flaps that cover...

• Recommended Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier For 2014 Chevrolet Cruze
• We have a video of the Curt Hitch part # C11282 being installed on a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze and the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the rear bumper is 6-1/2 inches. We'll use that dimension when recommending a cargo carrier that will work for you. I have attached a helpful article that explains how this measurement is taken. The hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. The hitch-mounted cargo carrier I recommend is the Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier, part #...

• How to Transport Bike on a 2014 Chevy Cruze Being Flat Towed
• Your best option is going to be to install a roof rack on your 2014 Chevy Cruze and then use roof rack mounted bike racks on the Cruze to carry your bikes as there are no adapters like the part # D210 that have enough drop for what you are trying to do. For a roof rack the best bang for your buck option is the Rhino Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK142. For a bike rack the Rhino-Rack MountainTrail Rooftop Bike Carrier # RBC035 would be a great option as well.
