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. view full answer...
I do have a solution for you but there are indeed no Demco base plates options for a 2018 Fiat 500 Abarth . That said, if you already have a Demco tow bar you can still use this by obtaining the Demco Tow Bar Adapter for Roadmaster part # DM9523001 and then the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 522013-1A which is a fit for a 2018 Fiat 500 Abarth. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
The Blue Ox Acclaim, part # BX4330, that you referenced in your question will fit Blue Ox removable-tab base plates that are spaced between 23 inches - 30 inches, so they Acclaim will not work for your application.
The Blue Ox Adventurer, part # BX7322, would be the appropriate tow bar that you will need to use instead. It is rated for 5,000 lbs just like the Acclaim, but it is compatible with Blue Ox base plate tabs that are spaced 16 inches - 34 inches. You will need to make sure that... view full answer...
Yes, your Fiat 500 has enough clearance to be used with the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1. I also took a look at the wheel size if your Fiat, and from what I can see it will have either 15" or 16" wheels, which are also compatible with the dolly, so you aren't going to have any issues there either.
I have added links below to a couple video reviews as well of the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
I checked with each of our manufacturers, and there are no fits for trunk-mounted bike racks for a 2017 Fiat 500C; so while you can carry a bike, you will need to install a trailer hitch receiver and hitch-mounted bike rack. For the hitch, what you will need is an option from Curt:
- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11363
This is a Class I hitch, so you will need a Class I-compatible bike rack, such as the Thule Apex XT 2-Bike Rack # TH9024XT or Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY94FR. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11347 is a confirmed fit for a 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth with the factory muffler. I have attached a photo of said muffler installed on the vehicle that the trailer hitch is designed to work with. If you have an aftermarket muffler then the hitch may not fit properly. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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... view full answer...

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... view full answer...
The two adapters you mentioned are opposite of each other. The part # RM-032 is for going from a Blue Ox tow bar to a Roadmaster base plate kit and then the part # RM-031 is for going from a Roadmaster tow bar to a Blue Ox base plate.
That's why they are so different. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
I have a solution for your hitch and bike rack needs on your 2015 Fiat 500.
Depending on which version of the Fiat 500 we have a hitch that will work for you. I recommend the Curt # C11347 if you have the Abarth style, but if you don't then the Curt # C11363 will be the correct fit for you.
The bike rack I recommend for you would be the Kuat Beta # B202-114. This 1-1/4 bike rack carries 2 bikes and is lightweight and will work with the 3-3/4 inches clearance you will need with your... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11363 is a fit for the 2012 thru 2019 Fiat 500 E. The Abarth is the only model it will not fit.
If you will be towing with this hitch, I also recommend the ball mount # 3593 with hitch ball # 19258. Then for wiring, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118546 which connects behind the taillights and draws power directly from the vehicle battery to protect your electronics. view full answer...
I called my contact at Hollywood Racks and asked about your 2012 Fiat 500 POP.
They said the Hollywood Racks Express, part # HRE3 is a great fit for your Fiat. This bike rack weighs just 10-lbs, and has a weight capacity of 35-lbs per bike.
When carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier... view full answer...
Yes, the Curt trailer hitch # C11363 will fit your 2015 Fiat 500 Pop hatchback.
I have added links below to the installation instructions and an installation video on a newer fiat for you to take a look at. The installation would be the same for your 2015 model. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11363 will fit all 2017 Fiat 500 models excluding the Abarth so it is compatible with your Lounge. Please note that on page 246 of your owner's manual it states that your vehicle is not recommended to tow a trailer. You will want to check your owner's manual to see if this is the same case.
If in fact you can tow a trailer with your Fiat 500 you will also need wiring like the T-One # 118546 and a drawbar/hitch ball like parts # 3594 and # 19258. view full answer...
