Expert Answers about Chevrolet Spark
- If Capacity of Class I Hitch for 2018 Chevy Spark is Not Exceeded by Trailer Weight is it Safe
- Yes, you are exactly right. As long as the trailer you plan to tow is less than the weight capacity of the Curt Class I hitch part # C11433 and the vehicle's towing capacity you'd be perfectly safe. For a ball mount the part # 3593 and hitch ball # 19258 would work really great too.
You'll also want trailer wiring too like with the Tekonsha kit part # 118649 which installs easily by plugging in line with the taillight connectors and has what we have have found to be the most reliable...
view full answer... - Supplemental Braking System Recommendation for 2013 Chevy Spark
- Supplemental braking is required by law when flat towing a vehicle. Even if the vehicle is smaller like your 2013 Chevy Spark.
The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles. Since your vehicle will require the battery get disconnected when flat towing you'll also need the outlet kit part # RM-9332.

To use this hitch for a bike rack, you will also need the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap - Bike Rack Strap with Cambuckle # 18050.

- If you were looking for the most economical way to tow your 2015 Chevy Spark I think I have your best option although it's not quite a flat towing setup. Since flat towing setups are pretty expensive (even on the cheap side) the best option when money is concerned is a tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1. It's a one time cost up-front that while might seem high is still less expensive than the most inexpensive flat towing setup and you don't have to pay for anything to be...

- Yes, you will want to install the Adapter part # 30717 on your RV. You will plug the 4-way of your RV into the 4-way of this adapter and then the 7-way of your towed vehicle will plug right into the 7-way of the adapter.

- I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and the base plates # 523174-1 will fit your 2014 Chevy Spark 1LS with manual transmission. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables use # RM-643. The coiled design keeps the cables off the ground.
For lighting if you will not be towing very often I recommend a magnetic kit # RM-2120. With this kit you will not have to cut into the vehicle wiring for installation. If you plan on towing the Spark often then I recommend...

- All of the base plates from other manufacturers, Roadmaster and Blue Ox, carry forward from the 2017 to the 2018 Chevy Spark so we can glean from that information that the Demco base plates # DM9519326 will also fit. Please note this fit is for models with a manual transmission and without active air shutters.
For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Commander # DM9511012. This is a non-binding tow bar which means that you won't have to be perfectly straight or level to hook up or unhook...

- I have another option for you, but unfortunately there is not a 2" trailer hitch receiver available for your 2017 Chevrolet Spark.
Instead I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11433 which is confirmed to fit your Spark as long as it is not the EV model. You will need to use the Stabilizing Strap # 18050 to secure the rack to your vehicle.

view full answer... - Safest Snow Chain Recommendation for 2016 Chevy Spark
- For your 2016 Chevy Spark the safest tire chain options we have are the Konig K-Summit chains as they mount very securely to the wheel and do not drape over the inside of the tire at all so you don't have to worry about inner tire clearance issues. If you have the tire size of 185/55-15 or 195/55-15 you'd want the part # TH02230K11 and you'd be set. I also attached a review video for these chains for you to check that show how easily they install and how well they work.

- I found the owners manual for your 2019 Chevy Chevy Spark and under the recreational towing section I found basically all you have to do is put the vehicle in neutral and disconnect the negative battery terminal since you have a manual transmission. Since the battery gets disconnected you would need an outlet kit part # RM-9332 to power the supplemental braking system. The automatic transmission Sparks have to be towed on a dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1. For a base plate...

- I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2020 Chevy Spark and it says the automatic transmission cannot be flat towed with all four wheels on the ground. Only the manual transmission model can be towed in this manner.
To pull your Spark behind the RV you will need to use a tow dolly like the excellent Demco Kar Kaddy SS # DM9713045. This will support the front wheels of your vehicle and leave the rear wheels on the ground for travel. It features a hydraulic braking...

- If you are looking for a base plate kit that will fit your 2019 Chevy Spark LT I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BO54FR which is a custom fit with removable arms for a clean look. It would then be compatible with the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar part # BX7380 BX7380which is an excellent non-binding tow bar that includes safety cables.
In order to complete your flat-towing setup you will also need a wiring harness, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you...
view full answer... - Kayak Carrier And Bike Rack Options For 2014 Chevrolet Spark With Naked Roof
- I did some research on your 2014 Chevrolet Spark and per the owner's manual it states that no more than 110 lbs can be carried on the roof or the vehicle could suffer damage. Carrying 2 kayaks would not be an option because the weight on the roof with the kayaks, roof rack, and kayak carrier would exceed the roof weight limit.
If carrying one kayak is an option for you I recommend the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack, part # RR22RR. This roof rack has quiet aerodynamic black crossbars and features...

- For a smaller and lighter duty vehicle like your 2014 Chevy Spark there are only lighter duty towing hitches available like the # C11334 which is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch opening. We don't carry any scooter carriers with ramps for this hitch size but if you have found one elsewhere it could work possibly.
Your best option would be to tow a small trailer which would require you to also get trailer wiring like part # HM11141120. Then for a ball mount you'd need the # C45521 and...
