Expert Answers about Fiat


  • Fat Tire EBike Carrier for Fiat 500
  • My suggestion is the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes #TH903202 designed for both 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches. This is rated to carry 2 bike with a weight of capacity 65 lbs per bike and a maximum tire width of 3". The carrier weight itself is 45 lbs. I suggest consideration of the longer bike straps, # TH985101 that allow up to 4-11/16" tires. While there are other options available to meet the weight requirements of your EBikes most are designed to work with a 2" receiver...

  • 2012 Fiat 500 Recommendation for Carrying Cargo
  • Since you have the panoramic glass roof on your 2012 Fiat 500 we are going to need to go with an alternative solution for transporting cargo as there isn't a roof rack that fits with the glass roof. For your application I recommend installing a trailer hitch and using that to add some cargo carrying room to your vehicle. You can use the Curt Trailer # C11347 if you have the Abarth but if you don't then use the Curt Hitch part # C11363 instead. The # C11347 has a hidden crosstube design...

  • Will Older Falcon Tow Bar Fit Roadmaster Base Plates for a 2015 Fiat 500 Pop
  • Your Falcon tow bar will work with Roadmaster base plates # 522013-1A for the 2015 Fiat 500 Pop. Most Roadmaster tow bars use that crossbar you mentioned and it is still used for the new versions of the Falcon series. The tow bar, assuming it is in good working order, will work well with your Fiat. No worries, it sounds like you have things under control! If you do not have safety cables I recommend # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. If you do not yet...

  • Dolly Towing a 2016 Fiat 500 Gucci Automatic Transmission
  • That customer asked about the 2017 Fiat 500 FWD. Your 2016 Fiat A/T Gucci according to the owners manual will allow dolly towing with the front wheels off the ground according to the online owners manual on page 305 and page 306 states not to flat tow any vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission as damage to the drive train will result. A manual transmission vehicle can be flat towed with the transmission in neutral without damage based on the manufacturer design. If you utilize...

  • Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth
  • The only available trailer hitch for a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11347 so that is what I must recommend. The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver will not fit Abarth models. For a bike rack, you will be limited to two bikes because of the hitch rating, the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ is a great option.

  • Can New 12 and 14 Gauge Wire be Used with Existing 10 and 12 Gauge Wiring on Gooseneck Trailer
  • The slight difference in wire gauge between the new part and the existing wiring will be fine. There isn't enough voltage or amperage, to cause any problems. It would be a different story if we were talking about more voltage and/or amperage. But in this case, no worries with the slightly smaller gauge wire.

  • Cargo Carrier and Light Kit for Class I Trailer Hitch on 2015 Fiat 500
  • Those are good questions and with a Class I trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11363 that fits your 2015 Fiat 500 you do need to use a Class I compatible accessory like a cargo carrier. That means could use the Class II Reese cargo carrier you mentioned, but it wasn't designed for it. There is a very similar carrier which will work. Also, to answer your question about the weight of the hitch, it is about 25 lbs. The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 is compatible with a Class I hitch...

  • Recommended Roof Rack System For 2015 Fiat 500
  • Usually the only parts of a roof rack that will be transferable to a different vehicle are the towers and crossbars if they are the same length as what is required for the new vehicle. Depending on how old your Thule Roof Rack is it may not be possible to buy the correct parts. I looked up your 2015 Fiat 500 and unfortunately there is no longer a fit kit that will allow you to install Thule crossbars on your vehicle. Instead you will need to use a completely new roof rack system and I...

  • Are LED Trailer Lights Needed For Less Power Draw on Fiat 500 T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118546
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # 118546, that you mentioned, is designed for the 2012 - 2015 Fiat 500. The T-One connector plugs directly into your existing wiring and the powered ModuLite reduces strain on wiring system. With a ModuLite, power is drawn directly from the car's battery so there is virtually no draw on your taillight circuits so a standard lighting set-up would be just fine. LED lights would not be required.

  • Roof Rack Fairing Thats Compatible With Aero-Style Crossbars
  • For a Fairing that's compatible with Aero-style roof crossbars, I'd recommend the Rhino Rack 44 inch Fairing, part # RRRF3. The fairing will fit crossbars up to 1-1/4 inches tall and 3-1/2 inches wide. The Yakima 44 inch fairing you mentioned has been discontinued.

  • Carrying Two Large Bikes on a 2017 Fiat 500L
  • The Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV, is confirmed to fit your 2017 Fiat 500L. The rack will handle large bikes as long as they aren't too heavy. It can handle bikes up to 33 pounds each. You also probably need a bike frame adapter bar like the Swagman Deluxe, part # 64005. This creates the horizontal tube to hang the bikes from to keep them level if the bikes don't have that bar. If your bikes are too heavy for the OutWay then I recommend adding a trailer hitch receiver to your Fiat because...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for Fiat 500x With Panoramic Glass Sunroof
  • There is a roof rack that will fit your 2016 Fiat 500X that has the panoramic sunroof, the Inno Aero. This rack is made up of Aero Crossbars # INXB100-108, Flush Feet for Aero Crossbars # INXS200, and Custom Fit Kit # INK482. This rack has a 100 lbs weight capacity though I do recommend checking your Fiat's manual to confirm what the actual capacity is. The aero crossbars are going to give you a quiet ride and they also have integrated T-slots so you can carry accessories that way. I've...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth
  • I do have a roof rack fit for a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth but it is not from Thule, rather Yakima. I did check with Thule but they do not list a fit for the Abarth. That said, I called Yakima and they said the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00425, part # Y28TR, part # Y06110, and part # Y06123 will work. I have attached a photo below.

  • Are T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118546 Drivers Side Wires Too Short for 2014 Fiat 500
  • When it comes to the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118546, for your 2014 Fiat 500, I see the two reviews that you are speaking of so I made a call to my technical contact at Tow Ready to see if they have any reported problems. He said that he has no reports of the wiring harness being too short and with us only having the two, compared to the numerous amount that has been sold, I can only assume that the wiring in those cases weren't run in the most direct route. As for a video, our...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Fiat 500 to Carry Bike Rack
  • The roof rack I highly recommend for your 2017 Fiat 500 is from Yakima and consists of the following parts: - Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 (Black) - BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR - BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06110 - BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06123 This roof rack will look graceful atop your Fiat due to the aerodynamic shape of the JetStream crossbars. The aero shape of these bars, along with their built-in WindRidges, is also what ensures that this roof rack minimizes the wind...

  • SeaSucker Vacuum Cup Mounting Capacity, Function, and Fit
  • The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - Folding - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B does simply use the vacuum cups as the sole securing factor. Each vacuum cup is rated for 210 lbs pull strength, so this system is claiming 1,200 lbs of pull strength and they have been tested with cargo at highway speeds without issue. The strength is really incredible...I've attached a video to assist. For increased security and theft deterring, they recommend the window mounted cable anchor...

  • Can the Thule OutWay Platform 2-Bike Rack Be Used with Carbon Fiber Frame Bikes
  • The Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack part # TH45JV contains an updated cradling system with road dampening technology which as the name states reduced shocks and vibrations transferred to the bike while traveling down the road therefore is suited for use on bikes with a carbon fiber frame and there will be no issues with paint chipping. To be extra safe, I would suggest adding the Thule Carbon Bike Frame Protector # TH984101 for another layer of protection. In regards to weight, this is 33 lbs...

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier For 2013 Fiat Abarth With Spoiler
  • I called my contact at Thule and they told me that the rear mounted bike carrier that is confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Abarth is the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. One work of caution is when bikes racks are confirmed as a fit for a vehicle with a spoiler, it is always with a factory installed spoiler. If you have an aftermarket spoiler there can be no guarantee any bike carrier will fit. If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Harness for 2016 Fiat 500X
  • We can get you everything you need for your 2016 Fiat 500X. For a trailer hitch I recommend the Curt # C13271. The Curt hitch has a maximum tongue weight of 525 lbs and max towing capacity of 3,500 lbs though you would need to make sure you do not exceed the weight capacities listed in your Fiat's owner's manual. For wiring you need the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236.
