Expert Answers about Chevrolet Volt


  • Rhino Rack Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Chevy Volt
  • I have a roof rack solution I can provide, but I checked with Thule and they do not offer anything for your 2013 Chevy Volt surprisingly. The closest option that would fit is the Rhino Rack roof rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK316.

  • Best Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Volt
  • We have numerous trunk mount bike racks that will fit your 2012 Chevy Volt. I have included a link to the options for you. For a good entry level rack that will fit and work just fine for long distances you can use the Thule Passage 2, # TH910XT. It secures to the vehicle using 6 straps, holds 2 bikes, and includes anti-sway cradles. I have included a link to a video review of the rack shown on a similar vehicle. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that...

  • Can 2017 Chevy Volt be Towed on Tow Dolly
  • Yes your 2017 Chevy Volt can be towed on a tow dolly. The dolly I recommend is the Demco part # DM9713045 as it comes with a self-contained braking system, a steering axle, and is foldable for easier storage. This is a much easier way to tow a vehicle than trying to use a base plate and tow bar kit. I attached a review video for more info. To see price scroll down to product link.

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Volt
  • Most of the time platform bike racks can be a bit heavy but we do have one great solution. The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR which only weighs 20 lbs, can carry up to 35 lbs per bike, and can also fit the Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches available for your 2017 Chevy Volt. The best hitch to use would be the Curt part # C11436.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Volt to Carry Schwinn Windwood Cruisers
  • After looking up pictures of your bike you would definitely need to use an adapter bar to carry your bike on a hanging bike rack. The adapter we recommend the most is the Swagman part # 64005 because it is the easiest to use of the ones we carry. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out as well. The three bike trunk mounted bike rack I would recommend for you 2012 Chevy Volt that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle is the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV. What makes...

  • Recommended way to Carry Bike Rack with 2016 Chevy Volt
  • As of right now we only have 2 trunk bike racks fits for the 2016 Chevy Volt. We have the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike # Y02634 or the FullBack 3-bike version # Y02633. I have attached the installation Thule doesn't even have it in their fitguide at all. I am imagining there are not thule fits based on the fit issue you are having. I have attached the installation instructions for the 2-bike FullBack. If you go to page 4, it shows you an anchor method that will work with the fullback if you...

  • Compatibility and Weight Capacity of O-Track Systems
  • We have previously tested the Erickson and Tow-Rax O-Track Systems and found them to be compatible with each other. I went out to our warehouse to test the Erickson Anchor Ring # EM59132 on the Buyers Product Super Track # 337ST93 and found it to be compatible as well. This means the O-Track components from all three of the manufacturers you mentioned are indeed interchangeable and will work well each other. The tie-down rings included with the Buyers Products Super Track Kit actually...

  • Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier for a 2014 Chevy Volt
  • There are only certain hitch mounted cargo carriers that will work with the Class I trailer hitch, # C11221, for your 2014 Chevy Volt. The Carpod # M2200 only fits in a 2 inch receiver found on Class III and larger hitches. Since the Class I hitch has a 1-1/4 inch receiver the Carpod will not fit but we do have other carriers that will. The Class I compatible cargo carriers include Curt carriers # C18145 and # C18110 as well as Reese carrier # 63155. Out of these options I recommend Curt...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for Towing Small Kayak Trailer With 2012 Chevy Volt
  • From a convenience standpoint, the # 306-X7186 EcoHitch would probably be easier to live with, as you wouldn't need to remove the receiver when it's not being used but because there'd be a 10 inch height difference between the hitch and the coupler height, and because none of the ball mounts we offer that have the appropriate drop would be long enough to clear the rear bumper, you'll be better off going with the removable receiver model, part # 306-X7180. To figure out the ride that the...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2017 Chevy Volt
  • For your 2017 Chevy Volt I really like the Curt trailer hitch # C11436 for 2 reasons. First, it costs less. And second, it is a great brand of hitches. When you carry bikes or use a cargo carrier, on the Curt hitch you would have to use stabilization strap # 18050 per Curt's warranty requirements. This hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver opening and a 100 lb tongue weight capacity and 1000 towing capacity. I also really like the EcoHitch # 306-X7338. It has a 2" opening that allows you to...

  • What Roof Rack do You Recommend for My 2018 Chevy Volt?
  • I have a roof rack solution for you. Unfortunately, it looks like Rhino-Rack not only discontinued your 2500 series roof rack for your 2012 Chevy Volt, but they also do not make any roof rack models that fit a 2018 Chevy Volt. With that being said, the only alternative is to purchase a new roof rack. For that route, I recommend the following parts for your 2018 Volt: - Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" Long # INB127 - Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Black # INSUT -...

  • What is Needed to Replace Hydraulic Trailer Brakes with Electric Trailer Brakes
  • The angle of the mounting flange should not be an issue as long as you are using the right hand side brake on the right side of the trailer and the left hand assembly on the left side. Assembly # 23-458 is a left hand side and the matching right hand side is # 23-459. I am not sure exactly what kind of video you are looking for but if it is one on converting hydraulic to electric drum brakes we haven't had the opportunity to perform that particular installation and film it yet. But we...

  • Load Assist Kayak Carrier for a 2017 Chevy Volt
  • The Yakima LongArm # Y01149 is designed to fit a 2 inch trailer hitch but the trailer hitches available for your 2017 Chevy Volt are all Class I, 1-1/4 inch hitches. But I do have another possible option for you. If your Volt already has a roof rack then you could potentially use the Malone DownLoader kayak carrier # MPG114MD with the Telos Load Assist # MPG351XL which will help you to load the kayak easier. I would just need more information about your roof rack if equipped such as the...

  • Solution For Carrying 3 Bikes On The Back Of A 2012 Chevy Volt
  • I have a trunk-mount bike rack that will fit your 2012 Chevrolet Volt, but Thule Raceway PRO 2-Bike Rack TH9001PRO is a discontinued product. I highly recommend going with the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # TH78VR. This is a very nice adjustable bike rack that has an integrated cable lock to keep your bikes safe and secured to the rack. Soft foam pads surround the contact points so that your paint finish is always protected from getting scratched. If you plan on transporting...

  • 2012 Chevy Volt Roof Rack Recommendation Similar to Thule Aeroblade
  • Thule currently does not have any roof rack fits for your 2012 Chevy Volt so the best option we have would be to go with a new rack that is most similar with the Inno aero bar roof rack part numbers # INXB130-138, # INXS250, and # INK624 and you'd be set.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Volt
  • For your 2019 Chevy Volt I recommend the 2 inch EcoHitch part # 306-X7338 as it gives you the more popular 2 inch hitch size but also because it installs behind the rear license plate which gives you a concealed hitch that doesn't affect ground clearance either. If you were in need of trailer wiring as well we have the # 118726 which is custom fit for a very easy install and also has a very reliable converter box too so it will last you a long time.

  • Recommended Bike Rack For 2 E-bikes Compatible With 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Receiver
  • For your two e-bikes, I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Platform Rack # TH903202. This bike rack is made for carrying 2 electric bikes up to 65 lbs each. This rack has all the security features to secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your hitch. This rack weighs just 40 lbs. This bike rack is compatible with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11436 which is confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevy Volt. This hitch requires a stabilizer strap # 18050....

  • Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Volt
  • Since the 2012 Chevy Volt is not typically used as a tow vehicle there hasn't been much of a demand for a t-connector style trailer wiring harness. As of right now, and for the foreseeable future, the only wiring option you have would be a universal install harness like the part # C56496. For a hitch you would want part # C11221. Ball Mount part # C45521, 1-7/8 inch ball # A-80. Lastly, check your owners manual to see if there are any restrictions on towing with your vehicle.

  • Tire Chains for 2017 Chevrolet Volt with 215/50-17 Tires
  • For your 2017 Chevy Volt with narrow clearance I recommend the Titan Chains # TC1138 chains which are S-Class qualified for low profile fits. If you just need them for show or rare emergency these will do. If you expect have to install chains several times per season, I would recommend the Thule # TH04115095 chains which install with minimal effort and are self adjusting as you drive. Includes wheel rim protection.
