  • Can a 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara be Towed Behind a Motorhome and Parts Needed
  • From what I could find online it looks like you can flat tow your 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara as long as it is a 4WD with a transfer switch. If it is a 4WD without a transfer switch then you need to use a trailer to keep all of the wheels off of the ground. For a 2WD you can tow it using a tow dolly with the rear wheels off of the ground. You will want to verify this and specific instructions in your copy of the owner's manual. If you have a 2WD then I recommend using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly...

  • Roof Rack Recommendaton for 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The versions of the 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara that have the factory anchor points for a roof rack should have flush rails that run front to back on the roof of the vehicle. This is what the Rhino Rack # RRRVP16 that you referenced is designed to fit. You can send me a picture of your roof if you are unsure and I can then send it to Rhino Rack to verify but if you have the anchor points this should be the rack you'd want. Otherwise if your roof was totally naked the only option would be...

  • Recommendation For a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch On a 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch hitch, part 24764, you have referenced is only available in a 1-1/4 inch hitch size for your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara. For 2 inch size hitches for your vehicle I would have the CURT Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # C13001 and the Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 75448. Both of these hitches have 2 inch receivers and are designed to fit your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara. You may also need the following items to complete your towing setup. Draw-Tite...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • For your Grand Vitara I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13001. This is a Class lll hitch and features a 2 inch receiver opening. I recommend the Class lll hitch because it offers much more versatility for any hitch accessories like bike racks, cargo carriers, etc. If you plan on doing 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...

  • Low Profile Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The lowest profile roof rack we offer that has been confirmed to fit your 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara would be the Inno Square rack that consists of # INB117, # INXP and # INTR502. The Rola roof rack that you referenced has not been confirmed to fit your vehicle so I cannot recommend it for yours. The bar length wouldn't be right and the attachment mechanism hasn't been tested on your vehicle.

  • Instructions and Cost To Install Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX3516 On 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • If you have an average mechanical ability you could install the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, part # BX3516, on your 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara. I would not say it is easily installed, because it does require the removal of the front grille, headlights, front fascia, and metal bumper. There is also the drilling of six holes required. To determine a price to pay a mechanic to install these base plates would be hard for me to suggest, because of where you have it done and the hourly...

  • Trailer Hitch and Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • For a base plate kit for your 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara you would want the part # 521020-1B. This would work great with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 part # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

  • Removing Rusted On Bolts for Trailer Hitch Installation
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12002 for your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara uses weld nuts on the inside of the frame rails to attach the bolts and mount this hitch. If there are currently bolts in that location, you will need to remove them and there are a couple of routes to go about doing so. First, I recommend using the UltraLube Biobased Spray Lubricant and Penetrant to get into the small crevices to free up the bolt from the nut as dirt and corrosion can cause a bolt to cease up...

  • How Do I Install a 4-Way Trailer Connector on a 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • Part # 118001 will not work on your 2009 Suzukia Grand Vitara. Since the brake and turn signals on your vehicle are on separate circuits, you will need a converter. Part # 56002 is a custom fit harness that will plug into the tail light connectors of your tail lights and convert the separate brake and turn signals to allow proper function with standard 4-Pole trailers. I have added a link to the part and the instructions below.

  • 2-Inch Class III Hitch Compatibility on 2006 and 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • I compared all trailer hitches offered for the 2010 and 2006 model years of the Suzuki Grand Vitara to see if they are common fits. That will tell us if the two vehicles' frame mounting hole pattern is the same. Both vehicles' hitch fits are shown on the two linked pages included for you. The same four hitches, such as Draw-Tite 2-inch Class III hitch # 75448 and Curt hitch # C13001, all fit on both model years. If you intend to move the hitch from one vehicle to the other you will need...
