There is unfortunately not an option to purchase the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1968 for your 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser without the attachment arms. The positive side of this is you will have an extra set of arms should any of them get lost or damaged.
Since you mentioned that you already have a tow bar, to complete your flat tow setup you will also need wiring for lights, a supplemental braking system, and safety cables if your tow bar did not come with them.
I recommend the Roadmaster... view full answer...
Since you'll have the engine off there will be no power running to your electronic odometer and thus will not be able to track miles traveled.
If you don't already have all of the equipment to flat tow your vehicle I have the following recommendations for you:
Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522. The non-binding design allows you to release your vehicle at any time, anywhere on even or unlevel ground and large hookup radius makes connecting a breeze at... view full answer...
Yes, all of the trailer hitches for the 2004 PT Cruiser include all necessary installation hardware. Keep in mind that depending on the hitch you pick you may need to purchase the ball mount, pin and clip. Also you will need to purchase the appropriate sized hitch ball. You may also be interested in a wiring harness. Part # C55532 is a custom fit for your vehicle. view full answer...
Yes the Roadmaster Falcon 2 will attach to your PT Cruiser with Blue Ox base plates. I have provided a link to our video review and the instructions for this item. view full answer...
Although adapters are made for joining different size hitches and accessories, you cannot use one in your application. Your vehicle itself cannot handle the 500-lb combined weight of the power chair and carrier, but more than that, using an adapter would cut the hitch capacity by 50-percent. This would absolutely be an unsafe situation.
Your only method for transporting the Jazzy power chair on this particular vehicle is a small utility trailer that you could tow with one of the Class... view full answer...
For your 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser, I recommend starting with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11132 for your custom fit. Then I recommend the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitch - 2-1/8" Rise, 2-3/4" Drop - 6-5/8" Long - 2K # 3593 along with the 2 inch hitch ball # 19258.
For your wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55532.

Since your current drum brake assembly is part 023-342-00 from Dexter Axle the replacement brake kit for both sides of your axles is part # 23-342-343. You will need one kit for each axle on your trailer. These are free backing 12" x 2" brake assemblies from Dexter Axle.

Both the Curt 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11132 and the Draw-Tite 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24759 for your 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser are very similar hitches. They both have a 200-lb tongue weight capacity. The difference in the two hitches is the Curt hitch does not require any drilling to install and the Draw-Tite requires two 1/2 inch holes to be drilled in the frame.
The Draw-Tite might take a little longer to install due to the drilling of the frame. The Curt hitch uses 4 bolts on each... view full answer...

Reversing with a tow dolly is a pretty dangerous idea. You will end up damaging the dolly and/or steering components of the vehicle so it's always best to only pull forward when connected to a dolly. If you need to reposition you'd have to disconnect to back up. view full answer...

You will also need safety cables, # RM-643, and a lighting solution such as # RM-2120.

Not all vehicles can handle the additional amperage draw of the trailer taillights on the vehicle taillight circuits. Those vehicles need setup that draws power from the battery. Some vehicles have higher rated circuits that can handle this, and others need to have the power drawn straight from the battery to protect the taillight circuits. If you ran the power wire to a power source other than the battery you'd be voiding the warranty of the harness and would be potentially putting your... view full answer...
To tow a vehicle, you will need more than just the tow bar.
You will also need a base plate kit. A base plate kit attaches to the vehicle frame and provides a place to the tow bar to attach. We carry one base plate kit for your PT Cruiser, RoadMaster part # 278-1.
To use the Tow Ready Adjustable tow bar, you will need an adapter as the Tow Ready tow bar will not attach directly to the RoadMaster base plates available for your car. The adapter is RoadMaster part # RM-025. You will also... view full answer...
I put together a simple list to help make world of bike racks less overwhelming, but let me know if you need more information or options.
First, get the Draw-Tite Class I Hitch # 24759 installed on your car.
Second, get the Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Platform Rack # INH120.
That's it!
