According to my research, the 2007 Saturn Vue is capable of being flat towed without modification, but I'd urge you to confirm that for yourself. From what I've read, it's not recommended to tow the vehicle above 65 mph, and there are specific steps mentioned in the owner's manual that need to be followed exactly.
To flat tow the vehicle, you'll need a tow bar, base plates, safety cables, a wiring solution so the Vue's taillights work in tandem with those of the RV and a supplemental braking... view full answer...
A much easier solution that would give you a permanent flat tow lighting solution for your 2002 Saturn S Series would be to install a bulb and socket kit like part # RM-155. Basically with this kit you would install an additional bulb in the current taillight housing of your vehicle which the tow bar wiring will control. I attached an install video for this product for you to check out.
Or if you really wanted to make a taillight kit with LED light bars you would want the part # STL79RB... view full answer...
BMX bikes tend to have smaller frames, but the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier # HRE3 that you referenced should work well to carry your son's bike.
The distance between the arms of this rack is 16 inches. If that would be too wide all you would need is the adapter bar part # 64005. This will attach to your seat post and steering stem to provide an attachment for the bike. view full answer...
Since you have a spoiler on your 2007 Ion I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top Bike Carrier # HRF2.
This bike rack is designed for vehicles with spoilers. I have attached a link to a product review video for this bike carrier you can check out.
Since you are going to carry a womens bike 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 while providing additional... view full answer...
For your 1997 Saturn SL sedan I recommend Roadmaster base plates # 52181-1. These base plates have removable arms so you won't have fixed arms sticking out in front of the car all the time.
For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2 # RM-520. This is a motor home mount tow bar rated up to 6,000 pounds. I have included a link to a video review of this tow bar for you.
If you wanted something more budget friendly but with less features you could use the Tracker tow bar # RM-020 with... view full answer...
Actually, if you were to try to install Curt hitch # C19101 it would require a lot more work than the custom fit hitches for your 2007 Saturn Vue. You would have to access the metal bumper beam which would require removal of the rear fascia. Then once you get that removed it is possible, even likely, that the hitch will not fit.
Installation of a custom hitch such as # 13591 is much easier as you can see in the video I have linked showing an example installation. I have also included a... view full answer...
To run a maintenance charge from the RV to the 2008 Saturn Vue battery you would only need to run a wire from the 12 volt circuit in the connector at the front of the Vue to the positive battery terminal on the Vue's battery. We have several ring terminals, see link, depending on the wire gauge you are using and the size of the post at the positive battery terminal. view full answer...
You can use the RoadMaster Base Plates to Duncan Towmatic II, Karbar and EazAligner Tow Bars Adapter # RM-038 to connect to the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 3111-1. view full answer...
If the goal is to tow a trailer with your 2005 Saturn Vue I have a better setup for you to consider. For a trailer hitch the etrailer part # e98865 has great capacities and since it's a 2-inch hitch it will give you the best options for future accessories and ball mounts.
For trailer wiring the Tekonsha brand is the most reliable so for your vehicle the best option would be the # 118418. From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller.... view full answer...
What you need is to wire the 2007 Saturn Aura with diodes in order to get the lighting functions to work. There are 2 ways in which to wire a vehicle with separate stop and turn signals. The first way basically makes the towed vehicle into a combined tail light system while it is being towed. While not being towed it will function normally.
The other way, which includes 2 additional diodes, a converter, and some extra wiring, will allow the vehicle to remain as a separate system at all... view full answer...
Your Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar part # RM-520 is a great tow bar that would work well for you. You will need to start with a base plate kit confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Saturn Ion. For that you would want the part # 3136-1 which is a confirmed fit. Looks like you have coiled safety cable already too.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle... view full answer...
For your application, I recommend the Dutton-Lainson Hand Winch,TUFFPLATE Finish, Two Speed with Direct Drive - Hand Brake - 2,500 lbs # DL14830. This hand winch when mounted to a secure anchor point will allow you to pull your trailer up the incline and lower it safely. Even though this winch is rated at 2,500 lbs, that rating is based in direct pull weight on the third layer of line on the drum. Capacity is reduced as the line builds up on the drum. Not all winches are reversible meaning... view full answer...
The Curt cargo carrier part # C18115 that you referenced will fit crossbars that are up to 3" wide x 1-5/8" tall that are spaced 15", 22", or 29" apart on center. You would need to measure the crossbars of your 2014 Chevy Traverse to determine if this would work. view full answer...
The hitch you'd need is the part # C11447 for if you have the Redline Ion3 with the 2.4 liter engine.
If you have any other model you'd instead want the # C11115. Based on what you listed this sounds like the correct fit. view full answer...
The 2-bike trunk-mount racks for your 2003 Saturn Ion are shown on the linked page. The best of the bunch is the Thule OutWay 2-bike rack # TH45JV. This USA-made folding rack has been in continuous production for many years, thanks to its superior 2 rubber coated strap attachment system, included locks for both the rack and your loaded bikes and the protection of Thule's limited lifetime warranty. I linked a review video to help illustrate the Raceway's features and installation.

Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11114 referenced in your question is indeed confirmed to fit your 2008 Saturn Sky Red Line. This custom Class I hitch features a 2,000 pound towing weight capacity and a 200 pound tongue weight limit. Please note that Curt does recommend the use of a stabilizing strap like # 18050 when using the hitch for any non-trailer load such as a bike rack or cargo carrier.
I have attached an installation video on your vehicle that you can use for reference.

Yes, I checked with Curt and the Curt Hitch part # 13591 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit all styles of the 2007 Saturn Vue so it will fit the hybrid models like what you have. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
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 also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball,... view full answer...
I am not sure what you mean by "mid" but the only 2004 Saturn Ion that can be flat-towed with all four wheels on the ground are the ones with a manual transmission. If you do have a manual transmission then you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, flat-tow wiring harness, safety cables, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. I have attached my recommendations for each of these parts below.
For a base plate kit I recommend the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit part # DM9518151... view full answer...
I do have a solution for you, however the Curt 2 Inch Trailer Hitch - Bumper Mount # E-3S referenced in your question is designed to fit certain truck rear bumpers and will not work on your 2006 Saturn Vue.
For your 2006 Saturn Vue, I instead recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 15391. This Class III hitch is confirmed to fit this vehicle and will use existing holes in the vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation. This will provide you with a 2 inch receiver opening and it has... view full answer...
Although the Derale # D13611 transmission cooler would work well with your Saturn Vue, we typically recommend using the largest cooler that will fit behind the grille of your vehicle. The ideal mounting location is directly behind the grill, in front of the radiator and A/C condenser. Because a transmission cooler allows airflow through it, there is not a worry that it will block or hinder the operation of the radiator or condenser behind it.
A larger cooler like part # D13502, which measures... view full answer...
