  • Parts Needed To Haul A Vespa With A 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  • With the vehicle only having a 1000lb towing capacity for the vehicle you would only have a 100lb tongue weight capacity so hauling a cargo carrier with 225lbs on it would exceed the capacity of the vehicle and the hitches that are available for this vehicle. There are adapters that can give you a 2" receiver but the downside is that adapters reduce the overall capacity of the hitch by 50% so you'd end up with too little capacity to haul your Vespa. The only way you'll be able to safely...

  • Will the Thule Passage Trunk Mount Bike Carrier Fit a Chrysler PT Cruiser
  • The PT Cruiser started in the 2001 model year. They were not being produced in 1998. I used to have a 2003 model myself. The good thing about the PT Cruiser is that the body style pretty much stayed the same its entire lifespan. I have used Thule trunk mount bike racks on my 2003 model and they are a fit and work well. The Thule Passage 3 # TH911XT does fit both the first and second generation PT Cruisers. So in other words, the entire run of that vehicle. I can offer some fit tips since...

  • Can a 2 Trailer Hitch Be Installed on a 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser
  • The only trailer hitch options that were massed produced for your 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser are 1-1/4" hitch receivers: - Curt # C11132 - Draw-Tite # 24759 Aside from that if you're wanting something larger you'll need to have it fabricated by a shop.

  • Compatibility of Rhino Rack Fishing Rod Carrier Installed on 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser for Surf Rods
  • Thanks for the photo for clarity. The Rhino-Rack Fishing Rod Carrier - Locking - 8 Fishing Rods # RR574F won't have any issue with the curved crossbars. The 6.5 foot sections of the 13 foot surf rods should work very well for this application. With the curve of the roof the reel will be the only issue and you can have that rest on top instead of underneath if desired. Obviously gravity will have an impact on that, so you will need to plan accordingly.
