  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Chevrolet Equinox
  • To add a hitch to your 2024 Chevrolet Equinox, I recommend the Curt item # C77FR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Chevy with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity and a 675 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but helps with ground clearance. I have attached a couple of pictures below...

  • Will Carpod Cargo Carrier be Able to Transport 150 lbs Yamaha Inverter Generator?
  • The Carpod Cargo Carrier has a weight capacity of 450 lbs, is 48-3/4" long x 24" wide x 22" tall, and the weather-resistant bag that comes with is 46" long x 22" wide x 22" tall. The Yamaha inverter generator that you referenced is 26.8" long x 17.5" wide x 21.9" tall, so this carrier would work with 1/10" to spare. You would also want a hitch pin, or an anti-rattle hitch pin and lock, # 63232 to go with it. For the security you are looking for, your best bed would be to use a high-quality...

  • Ground Clearance with Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 36408 Installed on a 2014 Chevy Equinox
  • When we installed Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36408 on a 2013 Chevy Equinox (it also fits 2014 models) it measured 14-1/4 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver opening. But to the bottom of the hitch it would be approximately 12-3/4 inches (subtracting 1-1/2 inches for the thickness of the metal and the receiver opening). This will likely be much better than on a VW Golf. If you plan on doing some towing the correct ball mount is # 36051. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and...

  • Backspacing and Offset of Dextar Trailer Mini Mod Rim AM20757
  • The Dexstar trailer rim part # AM20757 (like most trailer wheels), has a zero offset which means that it has a backspacing of 3-1/2 inches. Trailer rims almost always have zero offsets to better handle the vertical load that they typically take. Backspacing is determined by taking the width of the rim, adding one inch for the lip of the rim, and then dividing by 2. This rim is 6 inches wide so 7/2 equals 3-1/2 inches.

  • Diameter of Trim for the Valterra Deadbolt Lock
  • The trim pieces (also called an escutcheon) for the Valterra Deadbolt Lock # L32CS3008 have a 2-1/2" diameter. If you have a 2" square hole in the door then this is going to be a pretty snug fit and the corners of the square might be visible still (very slightly). I recommend tracing out a 2-1/2" diameter hole on a piece of paper and holding it over your current cutout to compare, this way you know if you need to look for something larger or not. If you need something larger I recommend...
