Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trax


  • 4-Way Extension Recommendation for Rear of Ford F-250 For Towing Second Trailer
  • The Curt T-Connector part # C55774 that you referenced would be the first component you'd want. This will give you a 7-way and 4-way active at the rear of your truck. This will allow you to run a 4-way extension from the truck to the second trailer to activate the turn signals. For an extension you could use the part # A40W42B which is a 40 foot section of 4-way wiring that includes a male 4-way and then to the other end you could attach the part # HM48030 and you'd be set.

  • 2016 Chevy Trax Roof Rack Recommendation to Carry Thule Sidekick Cargo Box
  • Sounds like you have the factory raised side rails on your 2016 Chevy Trax. If so, you would want the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 to allow you to carry the Thule Sidekick part # TH78GC. Raised roof rails are ones that you could slide your hand underneath. If instead you had flush rails that you couldn't slide your hand underneath (not as likely), then you would want the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2 and # RRSX040 to complete the...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Trax
  • The Curt hitch part # C11427 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Chevy Trax and would be a great hitch to use. This hitch has a 2,000 lb total trailer weight rating but you would need to consult the owner's manual to determine the capacity of your vehicle as it is equipped. I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For 2016 Chevrolet Trax
  • The information we get for vehicle towing capacity is done with research of the vehicle and the owner's manuals. For yoru 2016 Trax on page 229 of the owner's manual it states the vehicle is neither designed nor intended to tow a trailer. With that being said, many folks will tow with the vehicle anyway so we do have items like trailer hitches and wiring available. Trailer hitches can be installed so you can use them for items like cargo baskets, bike racks. The trailer hitch I recommend...

  • Roof Cargo Bag, Trailer Hitch, and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2015 Chevy Trax
  • By XL cargo bag I believe you are talking about Rightline bag # RL100S30. This bag will fit on vehicles with or without a roof rack (side rails or crossbars). The bag is 48 inches long and 40 inches wide so compare that to the available space on your 2015 Chevy Trax. You don't want the bag hanging over the sides of the vehicle roof! If the roof rack on your Trax is just the side rails and there is no gap beneath them to attach a strap then I recommend adding the car clips # RL100600 to...

  • Hitch & E-Bike Rack Recommendation For 2016 Chevrolet Trax
  • The hitch I'd recommend most if you're looking to haul a heavy duty e-bike carrier on your 2016 Chevrolet Trax is the Curt # C11527 because of it's sturdy 200 lb. tongue weight capacity.

You'll be able to easily load those heavier bikes with the included ramp which can be stored when not in use, it has a tilting feature to allow you to access the rear of the Trax even when the...

  • Recommendation for a Bike Rack to Fit a 2015 Ford Escape Titanium Model
  • We carry trunk style bike racks, hitches, and hitch mounted bike racks that will fit the 2015 Ford Escape. I am sure we can find a solution to your problem. I could not find in the 2015 Ford Escape owner's manual where it states that you cannot use a trunk mounted bike rack. Now, one of the installation tips on our site does say that interference and/or damage may occur if equipped with automatic rear wipers. But with that said, I do not see why your bike rack will not work on your Escape. If...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Chevy Trax
  • If I were you I would install the Curt Hitch part # C11527 on your 2016 Chevy Trax as it is the fairly recessed under the bumper which means it would be the somewhat concealed. You can see this in the install video attached. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058.

  • Bike Rack Option for Limited Ground Clearance
  • Sounds like you are asking about how much ground clearance is acceptable for bikes on a bike rack. There isn't a specific number that always works since there are many different factors that will affect what is going to work like the hilliness of the roads and the distance from the rear axle of the vehicle to the hitch of the vehicle. If you have limited ground clearance I would go with a platform bike rack that has a rise in the shank for a couple reasons. They typically will drag the...

It has the ability to tilt down for easy rear cargo area access as well as fold up for better rear clearance. The wheel style mount allows you to carry pretty much any bike frame style; even carbon fiber bikes! The only restriction is if the bike were to have a fender. It also comes with bike and bike rack locks to secure your gear and deter theft. This rack can also...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2016 Chevy Trax
  • For your 2016 Chevy Trax the only trailer wiring kits we have available are universal style kits like the part # C59496. We don't have a video yet for this wiring kit and your vehicle but I did attach a link to install instructions that will walk you through the process. Since this is a universal type of kit the instructions are generic but the process will be the same for any vehicle this kit is installed on.

And if you see how the hitch fits in the attached video your fascia curves upwards as...

  • We have to recommend you stick with the recommendations from the dealer for your 2018 Chevy Trax to be as safe as possible.
