• 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.

• Why Curt Does Hitch for 2016 Fiat 500x Have Different Capacity than Vehicle
• With any towing setup you are limited by the lowest rated component as the overall towing capacity. In your situation you'd be limited by the vehicle at 2,400 lbs. Draw Tite designed and tested the part # C13271 that you referenced and found that it had a capacity of 3,500 lbs total trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. That is just for the hitch by itself. Now Fiat came up with their own towing capacity for your vehicle that happens to be lower than the hitch.

• 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.

• 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...
