Expert Answers about Saturn Vue


  • Supplemental Braking System Recommendation Uses Light Indicator for When Brakes are On and Error
  • The Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TR would be more what you are looking for. The remote of this system that installs in the tow vehicle will show a display light when the brakes are applied and then has an additional light that illuminates when there would be a problem. The Patriot is our most recommended system to as it installs very easily and works very well. The SMI makes noise everytime the brakes are being applied.

  • Thule OutWay Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2007 Saturn VUE and ION
  • The trunk mounted 2 bike rack that I recommend that will work on both your 2007 Saturn Vue and your 2007 Saturn Ion is the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV. This rack is one of the easiest racks to install, lightest-weight, and most secure racks around due to the rubber coated steel cables. Check out the review video I attached for this product for you to check out. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without a horizontal top tube you might also be interested in purchasing...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2008 Saturn Vue
  • I do have a carrier that will fit but Yakima does not recommend the use of any of their trunk mount bike carriers on the 2008 Saturn Vue because "side strap hooks cannot be securely attached." I recommend going with the Hollywood Racks Express 2, # HRE2 for your Vue. This carrier has a long reach making it compatible with many vehicles. I have linked a video review for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommend for 2009 Saturn Vue and How to Wire Up Separate Trailer Wiring on Trailer
  • You will want to install a 4-way on your 2009 Saturn Vue. For that you would want the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56026. Now for the trailer wiring you will need to use a converter like part # 118158. Going this route will ensure that if you were ever to need to tow a different trailer with your tow vehicle, or have someone elses vehicle tow your trailer everything would be compatible.

  • Second Vehicle Brakemaster Kit Recommendation for an RV with BrakeMaster Previously Installed
  • It sounds like your 2003 Alfa See Ya has everything on the tow vehicle side of the equation needed for the BrakeMaster 9000 to work. Because of that all you would need is the RoadMaster Second Vehicle Kit # RM-98160 and the correct seat adapter for your 2005 Saturn Vue, part # RM-88241. For a base plate kit you would want the part # 3111-1 for if you have a 4 cylinder engine or part # 3121-1 for if you have a V6. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2006 Saturn Vue
  • The difference is that the 2006 Saturn Vue Red Line models require noticeable rear fascia trimming when installing a trailer hitch. The Red Line models also have a lower suspension. For either model I recommend a Class III trailer hitch like the Curt hitch, # 13591, because it has a higher capacity and the 2 inch receiver is compatible with more accessories. I have included a video of this hitch being installed on a similar vehicle. To complete your towing package I recommend Ball Mount...

  • 4-Way to 5-Way Adapter Recommendation for a 2005 Saturn Vue for Trailer with Reverse Lockout
  • I am glad to hear that the Tow Ready Wiring Harness part # 118418 is working great in your 2005 Saturn Vue. All you would need to convert the 4-way of this harness to a 5-way to activate the reverse lockout of your trailer is a part # 20036. You will need to tap into the reverse light circuit of your Vue using the included quick-splice. I attached an installation video for the # 20036 for you to check out also.

  • Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2007 Saturn Vue Green Line

  • Flat Tow a 2007 Saturn Vue
  • What I think you are asking about is the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 4-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit, # RM-15247. This diode kit allows you to use your Saturn Vue's tail lights and wiring system while preventing feedback from your RV. This will provide the needed wiring solution to flat tow your Saturn that the Vue's taillights work in tandem with those of the RV. The other items needed to flat tow your 2007 Saturn Vue are, a tow bar, base plates, safety cables and a supplemental braking...

  • Roof Rack for a 2007 Saturn Vue that Does NOT have Side Rails that Run Front to Back
  • I do have a possible solution for you but there are no custom fit roof racks that will fit a 2007 Saturn Vue that doesn't have the side rails that run front to back. One option is to use 2 of the Darby Turbo-Racks # DTA968. These attach to the roof using a strap that will run through the interior of the vehicle (one strap or each bar). I have linked a video review for you.

  • Recommendation For Hitch on 2008 Saturn Vue XE AWD To Tow a 425 Pound Four Wheeler on a Trailer
  • I would recommend a Class III 2 inch hitch receiver like the Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 75556 for your 2008 Saturn Vue XE AWD. The 2 inch size hitch receiver will allow you more options for towing and better choice of hitch accessories compared to smaller 1-1/4 inch sized hitches. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Draw-Tite Hitch. For towing you would also need the following. Curt Ball Mount, part # D-4 Tow Ready 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball, part...

  • What is the Correct Ball Mount for Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36450 on a 2008 Saturn Vue
  • Draw-Tite has indicated that the correct ball mount for hitch # 36450 for a 2008 Saturn Vue is # 36061 for use in the rise position only. For a pin and clip, you can use # PC2. With Class I and II trailer hitches, only the manufacturer recommended ball mount should be used as it has been tested/determined to be the best option for the lower Class hitches and the vehicles they are designed for. Using a different ball mount will void the hitch warranty. With Class III hitches and above,...

  • Recommended Equipment for Flat Towing 2007 Saturn Vue Behind a Motorhome
  • 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...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler for 2006 Saturn Vue 4WD
  • 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...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2007 Saturn Vue
  • 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...

  • Recommendation for Towing a 2003 Saturn Vue V6
  • The only way I can recommend you flat tow your 2003 Saturn Vue is with a tow dolly like the part # RM-2050-1. None of the base plate kits we offer are confirmed to fit the V6 models of your vehicle so I can't recommend them for you. Using a tow dolly will save you a lot of hassle as it won't require any installation time like a base plate kit and wiring kit, and since the tow dolly isn't vehicle specific you can flat tow other vehicles without having to buy more components.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier Recommendation For 2006 Saturn Vue And 2007 Honda Odyssey
  • The Thule Trunk Mount Bike Rack, part # TH910XT is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Saturn Vue. It will not unfortunately work for the 2007 Honda Odyssey. The straps that secure the Thule rack to the top of the vehicle could put too much stress on the spoiler attached to the rear hatch on the Honda. We do have a solution for you though. I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier, part # HRF2. The straps are located on the arms of the carrier in a manner that they will not...

  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Ball Mount for 2005/2008 Saturn Vue
  • For a Curt Class III 2 inch hitch that fits your 2005 Saturn Vue you'd need the part # 13591, but if instead you meant to type 2008 you'd need the part # 13594 like you referenced. The wiring for a 2008 would be part # C56026 or for a 2005 # 118418. Since you wanted to do 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...
