• Should 2007 Pontiac Vibe Be Flat Towed Or Dolly Towed
• The flat towing products mentioned in the question you read will fit your 2007 Pontiac Vibe, you will more than likely need a lube pump or a drive shaft disconnect since your Vibe is an automatic. Unfortunately I am not able to confirm which components would be required. An easier option that absolutely works is Dolly Towing, and this option will not require any modifications to your vehicle. I recommend going with the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1...

• Will Camco RV and Marine Septic Safe Toilet Tissue Clog a Septic System or Break Easily
• I went out to the warehouse to inspect the Camco RV and Marine Septic Safe Toilet Tissue, # CAM40276, and the 2-ply version # CAM40274. I also spoke to a co-worker who has used these items and got her opinions. The single ply is soft but thin like any single ply toilet tissue. When bunched up it is fairly strong and I would not anticipate breakage problems. My co-worker confirmed this saying they have never had a problem with it breaking. Since the material is thin and designed to dissolve...

• Recommended Trailer Brake Controller and Wiring for 2005 Pontiac Vibe
• To install a trailer brake controller on your 2005 Pontiac Vibe, you will just need a few things. If you do not already have a 4-way connector installed, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118458. This will allow you to quickly install a 4-way trailer connector on your vehicle. No cutting, splicing or tapping into wires is required. I have attached an installation video on your vehicle for you to check out. After the 4-way connector is installed, you will then use...

• Bike Carrier Recommendations for a 2005 Pontiac G6
• For your 2005 Pontiac G6 you could use a trunk mounted bike carrier. The Hollywood Racks Express 3 # HRE3 is a versatile carrier that fits the sedan and coupe models, but it does not work with spoilers. Looking at the pictures of this rack installed and pictures of the Pontiac G6, I believe it would avoid the small flat spoiler on the G6. I have included a link to a video review for you to check out and see what you think. . You can also install a trailer hitch, # 36426, and use a hitch...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix SE Sedan to Tow Small Trailer
• The best trailer hitch we offer for your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix SE Sedan is the Curt Class II hitch part # C12199 which has the highest capacity of all of the hitches we offer, is made in the USA, and will only have the hitch opening hang down below for a more concealed look. Then for trailer wiring you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # 18252 for a 4-way. Then for a ball mount you'd want Curt ball mount part # C45520 and for a hitch ball either # C40018 for a 2 inch ball or part # C40001...

• Does CTEK Multi Charger part # CTEK56353 Work Well for Vehicle and Motorcycle Batteries
• The CTEK Multi Charger part # CTEK56353 that you referenced will work well on both a motorcycle battery and a vehicle battery. It has a setting for either battery so it will function perfectly for either application. I have this exact charger and use it on both a motorcycle and a vehicle and have found that it does a great job for both. If you left either of vehicle in storage with this charger on the battery you'd be totally fine.

• Bike Adapter Bar Recommendation for Kids Bikes Carried on a Hanging Bike Rack
• Most likely yes, the Kuat Adapter bar part # UB01 will provide a horizontal attachment point for a hanging bike rack. A lot of kids bikes have small, odd shaped frames so an adapter bar like this will allow them to be used on a hanging bike rack. For more info on how this adapter works check out the review video I attached.

• What Is Needed To Tow A Pop-Up Camper With A 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT1
• Yes, you can tow a small pop-up camper with your 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT1, as long as the camper does not weigh more than 3,500 lbs. loaded. But, you will always want to check the owners manual or with the dealer for the gross towing weight capacity of your 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT1 to make sure the towing capacity is not exceeded. The Curt 1-1/4 Inch Class II Hitch, # C12225, would be a recommended hitch for your vehicle. It is a Class II hitch which has a 3,500 lbs. towing weight...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for a 2006 Pontiac Vibe AWD with a 1.8L Engine
• Transmission coolers are not vehicle specific, however to optimize efficiency you would want to use the largest transmission cooler available, and mount in the optimal place on your vehicle. The most efficient mounting position is considered to be between the grille and the AC condenser core. Considering the space that is available for you to mount a transmission cooler is most likely limited on your 2006 Pontiac Vibe I recommend either the Derale 9000 Plate and Fin Transmission Cooler...

• Bike Rack and Hitch Recommendation for 2005 Pontiac G6 for 2 Bikes
• I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class II, part # 36426. When we installed it on a 2008 G6, we found that the distance from the receiver hitch pin hole to the furthest rearward point of the rear bumper was about 6 inches. The Swagman XTC2 you mentioned, part # S64670 has a distance of 8 inches from the hitch pin hole in the shank to the edge of the closest wheel hoop. Since the shank is angled to provide a 3 inch rise, the pedals of your bike should be well above the rear bumper so the...

• 7-Way Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6
• You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 56077. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Pontiac G6
• For your 2009 Pontiac G6 the correct base plate kit is the part # 3165-1 and not the # 3136-1 that you referenced as that base plate is for Saturn Ions. The final authority on what needs to be done to flat tow your vehicle is the owners manual. Without knowing more info on your vehicle the best I could find for your vehicle is that if it has an automatic or manual it is flat-towable as-is as long as you keep it under 65 mph. You need to verify this though with your owners manual. In addition...

• Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2003 Pontiac Vibe
• 2 inch hitches are only used on larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs that have higher towing capacities. For your 2003 Pontiac Vibe you would have to go with a 1-1/4 inch hitch like the part # 24812 and a bike rack compatible with a Class I hitch like this. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I...

• Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2009 Pontiac Vibe
• There are 2 options for wiring harnesses on the 2009 Pontiac Vibe. The Curt vehicle wiring harness # C56035 will have a higher capacity, which is desirable if your trailer has more lights than the bare basics. The 2nd option is the Tow Ready wiring harness # 118460 which I have found to be more reliable. It is recommended that you use a small amount of dielectric grease # 11755 on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for a Pontiac Safari
• The Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs part # C13702 will be a much better option for you than the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41522. The Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver is designed specifically for a 1988 - 1998 Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup and has a different frame spacing of 34" (center to center). There is not a trailer hitch designed specifically for your 1961 Pontiac Safari which is why you will want to go with the adjustable option...

• Trailer Wiring Options for a 2005 Pontiac Vibe GT
• There are 2 possible trailer wiring options for your 2005 Pontiac Vibe GT. The Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118458, that you have referenced would be the easiest to install. It has 3 sets of connectors and a ground wire. The 3 sets of connectors simply plug in line with your vehicle tail lights.
