  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Chevy Sonic RS
  • 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.

  • Will Draw-Tite Hitch Fit 2019 Chevy Sonic Hatchback with Aftermarket Exhaust
  • 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.

  • Rhino Rack Roof Rack to Fit 2015 Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback
  • 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.

  • Lighting Kit for 2016 Chevy Sonic
  • 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...

  • Does Saris Solo Bike Rack Fit 2013 Chevy Sonic Hatchback
  • 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've added...

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2015 Chevy Sonic LT Hatchback
  • 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...

  • Can Sunroof be Opened on 2014 Chevy Sonic Hatchback with a Roof Rack Installed
  • 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...

  • Flat Towing a 2016 Chevy Sonic Behind a Motorhome
  • To flat tow your 2016 Chevrolet Sonic you're going to need several items.

  • How to Use a Bike Rack While Flat Towing
  • 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.

  • What Type of Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Fits a 2012 Chevy Sonic with a Class I Trailer Hitch
  • 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...

  • Does the Draw-Tite # 24878 fit a 2013 Chevy Sonic RS
  • 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.
