- How to Carry Bikes With 2017 Fiat 500C
- I checked with each of our manufacturers, and there are no fits for trunk-mounted bike racks for a 2017 Fiat 500C; so while you can carry a bike, you will need to install a trailer hitch receiver and hitch-mounted bike rack. For the hitch, what you will need is an option from Curt:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11363
This is a Class I hitch, so you will need a Class I-compatible bike rack, such as the Thule Apex XT 2-Bike Rack # TH9024XT or Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY94FR.

- For a hitch for the 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth you would want the Curt hitch # C11347. This is a Class I trailer hitch rated for up to 2 bikes at most.
For a 2-bike, Class I hitch compatible rack I recommend the Thule T2 Pro XTR, # TH23JV. This platform style rack holds the bikes at the wheels so it will not touch the frame of the road bikes. It does come with some locks but has space for some additional locks. To use all of the possible locking features you would need to add a 6-pack of...

view full answer... - What Would Cause Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking System to Lock Up Trailer Brakes
- I've spoken with Blue Ox about this issue before and they told me that in the rare situation where the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR locks up a towed vehicle's brakes the problem is in how the Patriot is set up and not in the unit itself.
She said in most cases the reason is the seat is adjusted too far forward or the arm of the system has been adjusted too far out.
In very rare situations they have seen an internal A04 error code in the unit causing the system to need to be replaced entirely.

Before flat towing your Fiat, be sure to consult the owner's manual for recommendation or suggestions. I have also included some helpful links to additional information for you to check out.
