  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2003 Chevy Cavalier with Roadmaster Base Plate Kit

The Curt bar cannot connect to Roadmaster base plate kits so you'd instead want the # RM-501 for a similar option. This will work great with the safety cables # RM-643, the lighting # RM-152-98146-7 and the Brake Buddy # HM39494.

  • The good news is that I have a roof rack solution for you, but the bad news is that Rhino-Rack doesn't have a roof rack fitment for your 2001 Chevy Cavalier so there aren't any legs and fit kits that fit your vehicle from them. The roof rack that you'll need to use instead is the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs # SR1005. This uses clamps and square crossbars to give you a cargo-carrying option for your roof.
