• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Fiat 500X
• I checked with Curt and the trailer hitch part # C13271 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for all models of the 2016 Fiat 500X so it would work well on your all-wheel drive model. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If...

• What Roof Rack do You Recommend for a 2020 Fiat 500X with a Panoramic Bare Roof?
• I have a great solution for you. I confirmed with all of our current manufacturers that there are no traditional roof rack systems that are compatible with your 2020 Fiat 500X with a panoramic bare roof. However, a great solution is the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long - Black # 298-SX6000B. The Monkey Bars has one of the easiest installations out of any roof rack system we carry here on etrailer. In addition, the Monkey Bars comes with an impressive 150 pounds...

• When installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13271 on your 2016 Fiat 500X you will not need to drill any new holes in the frame rails - metal - of the vehicle, as shown in the linked instructions. However, this hitch requires you to enlarge existing holes with a die grinder, or file.

• Can a Yakima Trunk Mount Bike Rack Hold a Single 50 Pound Bike on a 2016 Fiat 500X
• The Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638 has a single bike capacity of 35 pounds even though the rack has a total capacity of 90 pounds. This means if you put one bike on the rack it cannot weigh more than 35 pounds. There are no trunk mount bike racks that are rated high enough for a single 50 pound bike. Your only option for a bike that heavy is to install a trailer hitch, # C13271, on your 2016 Fiat 500X and use a hitch mounted bike rack rated high enough for the 50 pound bike. I recommend...

• Roof Rack for a 2016 Fiat 500X With a Naked Roof
• The fit guide is asking about the flush plastic rails that are raised up on the vehicle. If you have flat, plastic trim without any raised area to it, then you don't have flush rails.

• Parts Needed to Attach a Roadmaster Tow Dolly to a Thor Freedom Elite 24FE
• When using the The Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 to tow your 2018 Fiat 500X behind your Thor Freedom Elite 24FE, the tow dolly will do the signaling, not the vehicle. Therefore you need a 7-way trailer connector for both the tow dolly and motorhome unless you already have them. For the motorhome, I recommend using the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 with the Universal Installation Kit part # ETBC7.

• Recommended Hitch for a 2016 Fiat 500X
• Though I can confirm the Curt # C13271 will fit your 2016 Fiat 500X, excluding the Pop and Trekking options, the # 76021 will not. This has to do with a few subtle differences between the two hitches and where they attach to the frames of the vehicles.

• Roof Rack For 2017 Fiat 500X With Panoramic Sunroof
• Yes there are a few roof racks that you can use on your 2017 Fiat 500X with panoramic sunroof, however, you will likely not be able to open/use the sunroof while the roof rack is installed.

This is an aerodynamic crossbar that is low-profile and has less noise and vibration than other styles of crossbars....

• Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2016 Fiat 500X Trekking Edition?
• I currently do not see that any manufactures a trailer hitch receiver for your 2016 Fiat 500X Trekking edition. We do have the Weld-On Receiver # E17 that you can take to a local fabrication shop to see about a custom fabricated receiver. The 4-Way Harness # C59236 will allow you to splice into your factory wiring. This 4-way is the common connector on most small trailer and will also allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 should you have a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack which...
