I checked with Draw-Tite and they do list trailer hitch # 24878 as a fit for all models of the 2013 Chevy Sonic hatchback so that would include an RS. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.
If you plan on doing some light towing first consult your owners manual. For a ball mount use # 3590. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # 118640. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24878 is designed around the OEM exhaust of a 2019 Chevy Sonic Hatchback. If you have an aftermarket exhaust you'll likely need to lower a hanger to adjust it a little more so it doesn't make contact with the hitch.
Attached is an installation video and a photo of the exhaust with the hitch installed for you to reference. view full answer...
The Roadmaster the Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, # RM-155, is a universal wiring kit and will work on your 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. We have not had a chance to install this kit in a Sonic yet, but I can give you some measurements to help you determine if you would like to install this kit.
The bulbs used in this kit are the standard # 1157 bulb which measures 1.83 inches tall and .97 inches wide. The socket that goes into the lens measures .95 inches. The instructions show to drill a... view full answer...
The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the backside of the vertical plate is 2.39". I have attached a photo with the measurement for you as well. In order to determine if this ball mount will work with the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24878 on your 2013 Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback you will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper. When we installed this hitch on a similar 2014 Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback we found... view full answer...
The 2015 Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback is going to be what we consider a 5 door, 4 doors plus the hatch door. For your hatchback you will want the Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Roof Rack, # RRRS615. Not only is this roof rack economical and aerodynamic but it also offers a low profile, from-the-factory look making this my favorite style of roof rack. view full answer...
Before flat towing any vehicle it's always best to check the owner's manual to ensure your vehicle is able to be flat towed and the steps needed to make your vehicle ready to flat tow.

Yes, Curt trailer hitch # C11240 will fit your 2014 Chevy Sonic sedan. I have linked a video to the right showing installation of the trailer hitch for you.
If you plan on using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier please make sure that the accessory is rated for a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with bike racks or cargo carriers Curt requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050 when using those items or any non-trailer load in the hitch.
If you want to tow you will want to consult... view full answer...
The only lighting kits we have available for your your vehicle are the bulb kits such as # RM-155 and magnetic lights such as # TL21RK. The reason you are seeing a change from diode kits to bulb kits is that when you enter your vehicle - in your case a 2016 Chevy Sonic - it will pull up the parts that are a fit for that vehicle, which in your case are bulb kits.
The benefit of the bulb kit is that it will allow you to bypass your Sonic's electrical system. Also please note that you will... view full answer...
I checked with the manufacturer and the Saris Solo 1-Bike Carrier # SA102 will absolutely fit your 2013 Chevy Sonic hatchback perfectly!
You will not need anything else to install the rack, though with any hanging bike rack, if your bike is dual-suspension or has a step-through frame you'll need Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # SA3040 because it will give those bikes a horizontal mounting point so they can be carried by the rack.

I spoke to my contact at Curt and he informed me that the Curt hitch part # C11464 is a confirmed fit for the RS Premier models of the 2017 Chevy Sonic Hatchbacks so it would work well for you. view full answer...
I assume by Commander you're referring to the Demco Commander Tow Bar # DM9511012. To connect to this tow bar you would need the etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit # e98963.
You'll also need a tow bar wiring kit like the Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM38FR or part # RM26FR if you have incandescent lights.
Since you'll have to remove DLIS FUSE 1 in order to flat tow the Sonic I recommend installing the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse... view full answer...
It is possible that you would be able to open the sunroof on your 2014 Chevy Sonic hatchback with a roof rack such as # RR32QR installed. But the only way to know for sure is to install the rack and see if opening the sun roof causes any interference.
You would do this by first opening the sunroof and then place the roof rack where indicated in the instructions. This is preferred because if there was any interference you would be able to prevent damage to the sunroof.
If the sunroof clears... view full answer...
Unfortunately, we do not have an average install time for the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118640 which is a fit for your 2015 Chevrolet Sonic Sedan. However, we do have an install video on a similar version which you can then use to gauge how long the install will take you. I have also attached the printed instructions for you as well. The process is not difficult but it will take a bit of time out of your day. The amount of time will vary depending on skill level which is why it... view full answer...
Yes, your 2019 Chevy Sonic hatchback is 100 percent compatible with the Curt trailer hitch you mentioned:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11464
The RS trim package is standard on all '19 Chevy Sonic hatchbacks, and this hitch is designed specifically for that. I have added a link below to the installation instructions for you to check out as well of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11464. view full answer...
The Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # 523173-4 that fits your 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is fully compatible with their Stowmaster # RM-501 and all other Roadmaster tow bars.
Flat towing a vehicle requires a number of components in addition to the base plates and tow bar. You also need for safe and legal flat towing safety cables like # RM-643, a lighting kit like # RM-2120, a braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR and often a high/low hitch adapter to keep the tow bar level. The linked... view full answer...
To flat tow your 2016 Chevrolet Sonic you're going to need several items. For starters, I recommend the Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar # RM-576 which connects to your RV by your trailer hitch receiver. It's non-binding, making it easier to connect to your Sonic and the Alpha comes with safety cables.
Next you'll need the Roadmaster base plate kit # RM-523173-5 which is compatible with your Sonic. It's fairly easy to install, with no welding and is barely noticeable when the arms are... view full answer...
Yes, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit with Removable Arms, # BX1703 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Chevrolet Sonic and specs state a distance between brackets of 18" fitting the Blue Ox Adventurer, Aladdin, Allure, Alpha, Avail, Aventa, and Trion tow bars. view full answer...
I may have an option for you but the Dual-Hitch Adapter # RM-077-4 is the largest drop we have in a dual.
An option is to add a hitch receiver to your toad and carry the bike rack on it if everything is compatible. It all depends on how many bikes you're trying to carry and if you already have a bike rack you're trying to use. view full answer...
First, please note that Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24878 fits the 2012 Chevy Sonic Hatchback models, but not sedans. If you have a sedan, use # C11240. In both cases, these are Class I trailer hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. They will accept a 1-1/4 inch shank on a bike rack. However, the bike rack must be compatible with a Class I hitch.
Not all bike racks that fit a 1-1/4 inch receiver will fit in a Class I trailer hitch. This is so you do not accidentally overload the hitch and damage... view full answer...
I spoke to my contact at Draw-Tite and he confirmed for me that the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24878 will work on the 2013 Chevy Sonic RS. He said the lower fascia may be different on the RS models but that it did not hang down any further than the non-RS models so it would not be an issue.
The lowered suspension does not matter either. view full answer...
