Expert Answers about Chevrolet Bolt EV


  • Recommended Tow Dolly for 2021 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS # DM9713045 because it's got a folding tongue for easy storage and it also comes with disc brakes to help reduce some of the strain on the tow vehicle when stopping. The brakes are actuated by an EZ-latch surge coupler, so you won't need a brake controller to use this dolly, which is another nice feature. This tow dolly can be used on vehicles with tread widths between 42"-76", so it will work for your 2021 Chevy Bolt EV which from my research looks...

  • Which Hitch For 2017 Chevy Bolt EV Can Carry the Thule Transporter Combi Hitch Cargo Carrier
  • I have a solution for you, but the Yakima Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR will not fit in a Class I hitch like the Draw-Tite # 24956 because it is made for only class III or class IV hitches. Instead, I recommend using the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7359, which has a 2" receiver that can carry the Yakima Exo carrier you're looking at. I've linked some reviews and installation videos of these parts for you to check out as well.

  • Thule Roof Rack for a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV with Naked Roof
  • For your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV, I recommend the Thule Evo WingBar System which is composed of part # TH711420, part # TH480R, and part # THKIT1857. This system has aero crossbars which will work to reduce wind noise and drag. It also has t-slots which will allow for the use of most aftermarket t-slot accessories.

  • Quickly Adjusting the Security Bolts on the Rhino Rack Nautic System
  • I have a solution for you, but if you've already purchased the Clamp-On Nautic system, part # RR570, there's no good way to replace the security bolts and it still fit correctly on your Thule bars. However, the C-Channel Nautic, part # RR580 does fit in the channels of the Thule AeroBlade, and uses optional locking covers over a hand knob to tighten the carrier into the channel. You can leave the carrier's cover off for easy access to the hand knob, and quickly move the carrier left and...

  • Will the Hex Nut # 936060054 Fit with the M6 x 25mm Carriage Bolt # 915-0625-54
  • Yes, the Hex Nut # 936060054 that you referenced will fit the M6 x 25mm Carriage Bolt # 915-0625-54. I spoke with my contact at Thule who said that they are metal (non-stainless steel) with a black powder coat glossy finish. My contact also said that he owns some Thule products that use this same nut and he has never seen any of them rust if that is what you are concerned about.

  • Tips for Finding Taillight Wiring on Hatchback Vehicle
  • What you will need to do is find the rubber conduit that carries the wiring from the hatch lights to the door frame of the vehicle. Typically this is at the top of the door. If you look for a black rubber hose that runs from the hatch to the door frame that's what you need. Inside this will be the wiring for the taillights. You will need to use a circuit tester like what comes with the # C56496 to test the wires to find the correct circuits.

  • Best and Safest Way to Transport 2018 Chevy Bolt EV behind RV
  • I did some checking and the only way to safely transport a 2018 Chevy Bolt EV behind a motorhome is going to be with a tow dolly as you'd damage it if all four wheels were on the ground. The Demco Kar Kaddy 3 part # DM9713046 is a kit that comes with everything needed including a self-contained braking system and a steering axle.

  • Installation of Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2017 Chevy Bolt EV
  • For your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV, I have attached the installation details for the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class I # 24956. This includes both written instructions and photos to assist. If you will be doing some light towing with this hitch receiver, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 and the Draw-Tite ball mount # 3593. Then you can use either hitch ball # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Does Draw Tite Hitch for 2019 Chevy Bolt Cause Sagging and Swaying with Bike Rack
  • We've sold quite a few of the Draw Tite hitches part # 24956 that fit your 2019 Chevy Bolt EV and we've not had the feedback like what you described. I'd be curious to know what bike racks were being used and the weight of the bikes as well. I wouldn't be shocked if the people who had sagging and swaying were overloading the rack/hitch. Its also a good idea to use a bike rack that has an anti-rattle feature to prevent movement of the rack in the hitch tube.

  • Trailer Hitch for 2022 Chevy Bolt EV
  • We do have hitches for your 2022 Chevy Bolt EV like with the 2 inch hitch with the EcoHitch part # 306-X7359 or with the 1-1/4 inch hitch # 24956. Both of these hitches are mostly hidden since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. Typically the 2 inch hitch size is more popular since more accessories are made for it and has higher weight capacities. I'd go with the 2 inch size if possible as you'll have more accessories made for it.

  • Recommended Quietest Roof Rack For A 2022 Chevy Bolt EV With Naked Roof
  • If you are looking for the quietest roof rack system for your 2022 Chevy Bolt EV, you will want to go with the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425. The asymmetrical JetFlow shape and built-in WindRidge helps to control air flow over and under these bars which dramatically reduces wind noise and vibration, even at highway speeds. So if you are looking for a good rack that wont be too loud, this is definitely the way to go. You can still use something like the Yakima WindShield Fairing #...
