- Does Curt Trailer Hitch 11364 Fit a 2014 Fiat 500L
- Curt trailer hitch # C11364 was specifically designed to fit the 2014 Fiat 500L. The review suggests that there is no fishwire included. One of our other experts checked this and found no fishwire was included so # 80101-1 would be needed as well.
The ease of installation is relative to the vehicle the hitch is being installed on and not the hitch so much. Installation of a hitch on this vehicle is not difficult, just time consuming.
Regarding a lack of holes in the bumper the reviewer...

- The 2014 Fiat 500L Trekking, Easy, Pop, and Lounge can all be flat towed behind a motor home as long as they have a manual transmission and they can all use base plates # RM-522014-5.
In addition to the base plates you will also need a compatible tow bar. The Falcon 2 # RM-520 is compatible and is the most popular option. I have included a link to a video review of this tow bar for you.
You will also need safety cables and lighting. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled...

- For your 2015 Fiat 500 Lounge Convertible you would want the Curt Hitch part # C11363 as it has been confirmed to fit your vehicle and would work great with a bike rack.
The Thule T2 Pro XTR bike rack # TH23JV that you also referenced would be a great option as well. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

- I attached a link to a page that has all of the trunk racks we offer as a fit for your 2014 Fiat 500L for you to check out but the best one I would recommend for you is the Thule Raceway part # TH45JV which is a confirmed fit.
What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the protected straps also last longer.

- The Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV, is confirmed to fit your 2017 Fiat 500L. The rack will handle large bikes as long as they aren't too heavy. It can handle bikes up to 33 pounds each. You also probably need a bike frame adapter bar like the Swagman Deluxe, part # 64005. This creates the horizontal tube to hang the bikes from to keep them level if the bikes don't have that bar.
If your bikes are too heavy for the OutWay then I recommend adding a trailer hitch receiver to your Fiat because...

- I called my contact at Thule and they verified the Gateway Pro 3-Bike Rack, part # TH78VR is a fit for your 500L. When installing the carrier you will use the FitDial system setting of 10 for a good fit on your car.
For another great bike carrier I recommend the Thule OutWay 3-Bike Rack, part # TH56BV. This is one of our best bike carriers because it uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables with hooks to hold the bike carrier. Most trunk mount carriers use 6 straps, normally made of...
view full answer... - Capacity of Trailer Hitch for 2017 Fiat 500L
- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11364 has a 2,000 lb towing capacity and a 200 lb tongue weight capacity although your 2017 Fiat 500L may have a lower rated capacity so you will need to check your owner's manual to determine what the capacity of your vehicle is and go by the lowest-rated component.
If your trailer and mobility scooter fall under the weights of the hitch or vehicle it will be safe to tow. As for installation expense, that can vary widely but a certified mechanic should...

- I spoke with my contact at Curt and he told me that they have not received any complaints about fit on the 2014 Fiat 500L with the C11364 hitch. I went to the warehouse and opened the hardware package that is included with the trailer hitch. There is no fishwire included in the kit so you can order part # 80101-1. I have included a video showing how you fish wire bolts for an installation. At about the 50 second mark of the video our installer shows how to fish the wire through. This is...

- I checked with Kat's and they don't list a specific frost plug to use with the Kat's frost plug heater part # KH11487 that you referenced which means you can use it on the easiest one you have access to. I know that's not super helpful but you would basically need to try and gain as much access as you can to the block of the Fiat and look for the frost plug that is the easiest to access.

- I do have a solution for you but the reason you are not seeing a base plate for your 2019 Fiat 500L is because the owners manual for your 2019 Fiat 500L says that it can not be flat towed. According to the owners manual you will have to use a tow dolly with the front wheels of your Fiat 500L off of the ground.
The tow dolly that I recommend is the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes # DM9713045. This tow dolly is made in the USA, features hydraulic disc brakes for safe, controlled...

- For your 2014 Fiat 500L you would first need to start with a base plate kit. For that you would want the Roadmaster EZ4 part # RM-522014-4 which is a confirmed fit.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

- Yes, the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-525 that you referenced would do an excellent job as a tow bar for flat towing your 2014 Fiat 500L. You will need a few other components to complete your flat towing setup though. For a base plate kit you would want the part # RM-522014-4.
For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing...

- Thule is a leading European roof rack maker who does extensive fit testing so I checked with them directly for a roof rack fit for the 2013-2019 Fiat 500L hatchback with the glass roof. My contact there confirmed their WingBar Evo rack system works for both types of glass roof on the 500L. I checked the online manual for the 2018 500L and it indicates a 110-lb weight rating for the roof. If your printed manual differs go by your manual instead of the online copy I reviewed.

- Unfortunately the Saris Solo 1 Bike Carrier, part # SA102, is not listed as a fit for your 500L, but we do have a solution that will work for you.
I recommend the Thule OutWay, part # TH945JV. This bike carrier uses 2 rubber coated straps to hold it securely on the back of your 500L and it has a locking system to deter theft. The carrier folds for easy storage when not in use.

- For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
Price is below as well.
