Expert Answers about Fiat 500


  • Is a Class II Hitch Needed For An E-Bike On a 2014 Fiat 500
  • The only trailer hitch option for a 2014 Fiat 500 is a class I, the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch part # C11363. However, that does not mean you cannot carry your e-bike. It is true that some bike racks require a class II trailer hitch receiver but there would be nothing physically preventing you from using a class II bike rack with a class I trailer hitch, it is just not recommended. The receiver tube size is the exact same, 1-1/4" so there will be no fit issues. If you are open to a different...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for a 2020 Honda Pilot
  • The brake controller I recommend for a 2020 Honda Pilot is the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180. The Curt Echo is a wireless brake controller means you don't have to drill into your dash to mount it like you would for a traditional brake controller. The Curt Echo is controlled via an app on your mobile device that works in the background. Therefore, you also don't have to learn an entire new device either. In order to use the Curt Echo you will need a 7-way trailer...

  • To flat tow your 2013 Fiat 500 you need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. Please note that the online manual for your Fiat 500 states that you can only flat tow your vehicle if it has a manual transmission.

  • Steering Stabilizer for 1998 Gulf Stream Palm-Breeze on Ford F53 Chassis with V10
  • We do not carry any engine components but we do have chassis components. It appears that you may be seeking a steering stabilizer by the question as we have the # RM-RBK4-RSSA fit guided only for the Class A with V8. I reached out to the manufacturer and the same stabilizer will be used for the V10 # RM-RSSA but the V10 will alternatively use the bracket kit # RM-RBK22.

  • Recommendations for a Hitch, Bike Rack, and Spare Tire Carrier for 2015 Fiat 500

  • Air Compressor Recommendation For Inflating 16 Inch RV Tires
  • It sounds like you are looking for a compressor you can use to inflate 16 inch tires to 65 psi. The Firestone Heavy Duty Air Compressor, part # F9499 is intended for suspension enhancement systems more than inflating tires. I recommend the Bulldog Compressor, part # BDW41000. The 12 volt compressor connects directly to the battery terminals via the included jumper-cable style clips. The compressor has a 150 psi capacity, so it'll inflate your 16 inch tires quickly.

  • Troubleshooting Non-Working Diode Wiring Kit On A 2015 Fiat 500
  • If nothing at all is working then the ground wire for your Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 is likely the issue. I recommend checking that it's making a good connection to the frame of the vehicle and isn't starting to corrode. If that isn't the issue then you'll need to connect to the motorhome or another vehicle with a 7-way connector and then put on your light signal (you can just start with running lights) and then trace the wires back starting at the...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Fiat 500 Convertible
  • There is a way to carry bikes with your 2012 Fiat 500 convertible. What you can do is install a trailer hitch # C11363 (does not fit Abarth models) or for an Abarth model use # C11347. Then you can use a Class I compatible bike rack such as the NEO2 # B01748. This rack holds the bikes at the wheels so it is compatible with many bike styles. And it weighs just 15 pounds so it is easy to handle. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.

  • Will Older Falcon Tow Bar Fit Roadmaster Base Plates for a 2015 Fiat 500 Pop
  • Your Falcon tow bar will work with Roadmaster base plates # 522013-1A for the 2015 Fiat 500 Pop. Most Roadmaster tow bars use that crossbar you mentioned and it is still used for the new versions of the Falcon series. The tow bar, assuming it is in good working order, will work well with your Fiat. No worries, it sounds like you have things under control! If you do not have safety cables I recommend # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. If you do not yet...

  • The Solera Manual Pull Style to Power Awning Conversion Kit, Black # LC329251 will simply require changing the heads on your awning frame and then wiring the unit.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Fiat 500e
  • For your 2014 Fiat 500e the Curt part # C11363 will work. We had a customer with a similar 500E come back and say it worked for them. This is a 1-1/4 inch hitch though since this smaller hitch size is what is seen on lighter duty vehicles like yours.
