Expert Answers about Suzuki Grand Vitara


  • Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring and Ball Mount for 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12002 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. This is a Class II trailer hitch that will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a 3,500 pound towing capacity. I also recommend checking the towing capacity of your vehicle as listed in the owner's manual. I have attached the installation details for your review.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • Sounds like you are looking for a way to flat tow your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. You would need a base plate kit for that since there is no way I can recommend you flat tow your vehicle using the pull rings on the front of your car. For that you would need the part # 1018-1. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For...

  • Flat Tow Lighting Recommendation for a 2002 Chevy Tracker
  • Sounds like you are looking for tow bar lighting so that the taillights of your 2002 Chevy Tracker will operate the same as your GMC tow vehicle. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-152, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. You will also want the # BX88206 to connect this lighting solution to your tow vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to...

  • Recommended Brake Controller And Trailer Wiring For 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The brake controller I recommend for your Grand Vitara is the P3, part # 90195. This is one of our most popular brake controllers because it is easy to install and operate. You will first need trailer wiring. The trailer wiring I recommend is part # 56002. This harness plugs into the vehicle wiring located in the rear cargo area on the driver and passenger side trim panels. You then need to install part # ETBC7. This plugs into the 4-way harness and with additional wiring will give...

  • Will Adding a Trailer Hitch Void the Warranty on a 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • A lot of people find that if they want to add a trailer hitch, the dealer prices can be high. If you were to buy a hitch from etrailer and install it yourself or have it installed it would not void your vehicle warranty. Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara Behind an RV
  • I checked a few resources and it appears that you can flat tow your 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara automatic 4x4 behind an RV. But you will want to check the vehicle owner's manual to confirm and for additional information on procedures. If you determine your model can be flat towed then you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use Roadmaster set # 1011-3. For a compatible tow bar you can use the popular Falcon 2 # RM-520....

  • Long Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara and 2013 Rockwood A122S
  • For your 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara and Curt hitch # C13001 you can use any ball mount rated for a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch. The recommended ball mount for the hitch and vehicle is # D-4 and it measures 8-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole. For a longer ball mount with the same 3/4 inch rise and 2 inch drop you can go with # D-4 which measures 10-1/4 inches long. Ball mount # D-26 is 12-5/8 inches long. And finally there is # BM20 which...

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for a 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • There are many roof rack options that will attach to the factory flush rail of your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara, but the Rhino-Rack RVP part # RRRVP12 is designed to install on vehicles with raised side rails that run from front to back. I attached a page that has all of the roof rack options that will work on your vehicle with flush mount rails. For a rack that is similar to the one you referenced check out the Thule Aeroblade Rack that includes the following part numbers: # TH711200, TH460R,...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2016 Winnebago Micro Minnie Travel Trailer
  • For your 2016 Winnebago Micro Minnie Travel Trailer, I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703. This Class III hitch is specifically designed for use on trailers like yours and will install on frame widths of 22 inches to 72 inches. As long as the frame width on your Micro Minnie falls within this range, this will work perfectly to secure a hitch-mounted bike rack or other accessory. It features a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds and all the hardware is included....

  • Pats Needed to Flat Tow a 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara with a 2009 Gulf Stream Mini Vista Cruiser
  • I would recommend the RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - 6,000 lbs, part # RM-520. This tow bar comes with a storage latch that will allow you to leave the tow bar on your 2009 Gulf Stream Mini Vista Cruiser. For a base plate you will need Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms - Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2011, part # 521020-1. You may also be interested in a Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit, part # RM-201, to simplify connecting and disconnecting the tow bars from your towed vehicle. And...

  • Install of Curt Trailer Wiring Install Harness on 2001 Suzuki Vitara that Had Previous Wiring Kit
  • The good news is that all you have to do is remove the quick splices you have on the taillight wiring and install the Curt trailer wiring connector part # C55372 like the instructions recommend and the kit will be installed properly. The quick splices are what is holding the old harness to the vehicle wiring but once you remove them and the wiring of the old harness the car will not be affected.

  • Recommendation For a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch On a 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch hitch, part 24764, you have referenced is only available in a 1-1/4 inch hitch size for your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara. For 2 inch size hitches for your vehicle I would have the CURT Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # C13001 and the Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 75448. Both of these hitches have 2 inch receivers and are designed to fit your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara. You may also need the following items to complete your towing setup. Draw-Tite...

  • Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara With Rear Mounted Spare Tire
  • One thing to keep in mind when using a hitch extender like part # HE18 is that the overall weight capacity of your trailer hitch will be reduced by 50 percent due to the additional leverage that is applied by the hitch mounted accessory sitting further away from the trailer hitch. If you have a class II or class III hitch on your 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara, then the tongue weight capacity of your hitch is most likely 350 lbs. When you use a hitch extend it will be reduced to 175 lbs. The...

  • Installation of SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System and Ease of Disconnect
  • The SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99243 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your Suzuki Grand Vitara and is a great choice if your RV has air brakes. This is a true, proportional system, which means it will actually use air pressure from the RV's brakes to apply the brakes in your towed vehicle at the same time and with the same intensity. The initial installation can definitely be a bit more involved than some other systems, but a great thing about this...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • We do have a base plate kit that fits your 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara but you'll have to remove the grille guard. Once removed you'd be able to install the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1011-1. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off...

  • Flat-Towing Components For 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • I was unable to find the information about flat-towing your 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara, so you will need to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to see first if the vehicle can be towed and if there are restrictions when towing. On most vehicles that have 4wd and 2wd, there will be a switch in the vehicle that allows you to go from one to the other. This should be in the owner's manual as well. If you are unable to find that information I recommend contacting your dealership. If...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for a 2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara With a Spare Tire on the Rear
  • The Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack, # MPG2148, will work well on your 2005 Suzuki Grans Vitara's spare tire. The Malone rack will adjust to a variety of different width tires. The rack is light weighing just 13 lbs and can carry 3 bikes with each bike weighing up to 33 lbs each. If you will be carrying a woman's, child's or an alternative frame bike that does not have the top cross tube, then I recommend the Kuat Ubar Bike Adapter, # UB01. This adapter bar will allow you to hang these types...

  • Rooftop Safari Basket Recommendation for 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • My recommendation would be to go with a siderail mounted Safari basket. There are several baskets that mount to the roof siderails on your 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara without the need for crossbars which are not necessary for this application. Surco offers their 60 x 50 x 5 inch # SPS5060-1101, which weighs 34 lbs, and the 50 x 45 x 5 inch version # SPS4550-1101, which weighs 32 lbs. These baskets have a weight capacity of 250 lbs. Since you plan to transport a significant amount of cargo...

  • Low Profile Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The lowest profile roof rack we offer that has been confirmed to fit your 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara would be the Inno Square rack that consists of # INB117, # INXP and # INTR502. The Rola roof rack that you referenced has not been confirmed to fit your vehicle so I cannot recommend it for yours. The bar length wouldn't be right and the attachment mechanism hasn't been tested on your vehicle.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • For your Grand Vitara I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13001. This is a Class lll hitch and features a 2 inch receiver opening. I recommend the Class lll hitch because it offers much more versatility for any hitch accessories like bike racks, cargo carriers, etc. 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...
