Expert Answers about Chevrolet Volt


  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Volt
  • For your 2017 Chevy Volt we have the Curt hitch part # C11436 as a confirmed fit that has a towing capacity of 2,000 lbs. As long as your vehicle owner's manual states your vehicle is also rated for the weight of your trailer and motorcycle this would be a great solution. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118726 because it does not require any splicing and it also comes with our most reliable converter box. For a ball mount you'd want the part # C45521 and then...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 Chevrolet Volt Difficulty DIY VS Professional Installation
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11436 will fit your 2017 Chevrolet Volt. It ranks a 10/10 on the difficulty due to the number of parts that need to be removed to install the hitch and the trimming required of the panels that the hitch will pass through. I have attached the video of the installation we completed on a Volt for you to determine if it something that you would feel comfortable doing yourself. We do not have installers that we recommend but I suggest going to the Curt website...

  • Can You Carry Two 50 Lb Bikes on a 2012 Chevy Volt with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11221 which is a fit for a 2012 Chevrolet Volt only has a 100 lb tongue weight rating so you can't haul two 50 lb bikes since the weight of the rack which also needs to be included would exceed the hitch's rating. That said, we do have another option for you with higher rating in the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7180 which has a 300 lb tongue weight rating. I know it's quite a bit more expensive but it also has a unique feature...

  • Where Does Safety Chain Attach on EcoHitch Trailer Hitch for 2019 Chevy Volt
  • I attached a picture that shows where to attach the safety chains on the EcoHitch part # 306-X7338. Basically you just hook the chains over the openings and you're set.

  • What Roof Rack do You Recommend for My 2018 Chevy Volt?
  • I have a roof rack solution for you. Unfortunately, it looks like Rhino-Rack not only discontinued your 2500 series roof rack for your 2012 Chevy Volt, but they also do not make any roof rack models that fit a 2018 Chevy Volt. With that being said, the only alternative is to purchase a new roof rack. For that route, I recommend the following parts for your 2018 Volt: - Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" Long # INB127 - Inno Feet for Square Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Black # INSUT -...

  • Compatibility and Weight Capacity of O-Track Systems
  • We have previously tested the Erickson and Tow-Rax O-Track Systems and found them to be compatible with each other. I went out to our warehouse to test the Erickson Anchor Ring # EM59132 on the Buyers Product Super Track # 337ST93 and found it to be compatible as well. This means the O-Track components from all three of the manufacturers you mentioned are indeed interchangeable and will work well each other. The tie-down rings included with the Buyers Products Super Track Kit actually...

  • Trailer Wiring Kit that Fits 2017 Chevy Bolt EV
  • We have a universal style of trailer wiring harness that is a fit for your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV that doesn't require any splicing. What you would want is the # 119250KIT which instead of requiring hardwiring uses sensors that grab the wires without piercing them. We do not have any custom fit options for your vehicle.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for Towing Small Kayak Trailer With 2012 Chevy Volt
  • From a convenience standpoint, the # 306-X7186 EcoHitch would probably be easier to live with, as you wouldn't need to remove the receiver when it's not being used but because there'd be a 10 inch height difference between the hitch and the coupler height, and because none of the ball mounts we offer that have the appropriate drop would be long enough to clear the rear bumper, you'll be better off going with the removable receiver model, part # 306-X7180. To figure out the ride that the...

  • Best Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Volt
  • We have numerous trunk mount bike racks that will fit your 2012 Chevy Volt. I have included a link to the options for you. For a good entry level rack that will fit and work just fine for long distances you can use the Thule Passage 2, # TH910XT. It secures to the vehicle using 6 straps, holds 2 bikes, and includes anti-sway cradles. I have included a link to a video review of the rack shown on a similar vehicle. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that...

  • Thule CG9 Tire Chain Recommendation for 215/55R17
  • I went and checked with Thule so that I could be 100 percent certain, and the size 100 CG9 part # TH00023100 is the correct size for your 215/55R17 tires. You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to be certain there are no restrictions on tire chain usage as well.

  • Recommended Tire Cables for 215/55-17 Size Tires on a 2014 Chevy Volt
  • Out of the cable chains that fit the 215/55-17 size tire on your 2014 Chevy Volt I recommend the Titan Chain part # TC335DC because it has a diagonal design which will give you better traction than a ladder version like part # PW1038. The recommended chains also include adjusters which ensure a snug fit. Attached is a review video for you to check out. Be sure to also look in your owner's manual for any specific instructions or restrictions about tire chains.

  • Can 2017 Chevy Volt be Towed on Tow Dolly
  • Yes your 2017 Chevy Volt can be towed on a tow dolly. The dolly I recommend is the Demco part # DM9713045 as it comes with a self-contained braking system, a steering axle, and is foldable for easier storage. This is a much easier way to tow a vehicle than trying to use a base plate and tow bar kit. I attached a review video for more info. To see price scroll down to product link.

  • Can Inno Mounting Feet Work with Older Thule Square Bars on 2017 Chevy Volt
  • If you have the older style Thule square bars (without a channel on the underside of the bars) then they are indeed compatible with the Inno Feet # INSUT. The older Thule square bars and the Inno Square Bars # INB127 feature matching dimensions of 7/8 inch tall and 1-1/4 inches wide. Since you already have compatible crossbars you can just get the Inno Feet # INSUT and the Custom Fit Kit # INK688 (which is what actually secures to the vehicle's roof) for your 2017 Chevy Volt.

  • Solution For Carrying 3 Bikes On The Back Of A 2012 Chevy Volt
  • I have a trunk-mount bike rack that will fit your 2012 Chevrolet Volt, but Thule Raceway PRO 2-Bike Rack TH9001PRO is a discontinued product. I highly recommend going with the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # TH78VR. This is a very nice adjustable bike rack that has an integrated cable lock to keep your bikes safe and secured to the rack. Soft foam pads surround the contact points so that your paint finish is always protected from getting scratched. If you plan on transporting...

  • Where to Go For Finding Installer for 2019 Chevy Volt EcoHitch Trailer Hitch
  • For your 2019 Chevy Volt the 2 inch EcoHitch part # 306-X7338 is a really great option for a trailer hitch. The best way to find an installer is to look for a local garage to you with a good reputation and let them do the install. Hitch installs are very basic for mechanics based on the difficulty of most of what they do day to day so any qualified mechanic would have no problem at all with the install.

  • Alternative to Tire Chains for 2017 Chevrolet Volt
  • I have a solution for you, and I was able to check the owner's manual for the 2017 Chevy Volt and it does clearly say that you're not supposed to use tire chains because of clearance issues; so you're absolutely correct and this does put you in kind of a bind. Fortunately I have a great solution for you- the ISSE Hybrid Snow Socks # TCH66. Snow socks are a great alternative for vehicles that do not have adequate clearance in the wheel well to safely install tire chains and they provide...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Chevy Volt
  • A 2016 Chevy Volt; I always liked the Volt. I'm a little jealous! I can tell you now that none of the Thule trunk mount racks will fit the 2016 Chevy Volt. Thule does extensive testing so if they don't show a fit then their racks should not be used. But I have excellent news for you because there are some trunk mount racks that can be used with your Volt. And I will link the returns policy for you to view. Yakima lists the FullBack, # Y02634, as fits for your Volt. This rack is similar...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring For a 2018 Chevrolet Volt
  • I recommend installing the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7338 on your 2018 Chevrolet Volt. This 2" receiver hides behind your license plate and includes a fold up license plate bracket for easy access. Because it sits behind the license plate it does not hang down like the 1-1/4" Curt # C11436 which can drag on tall curbs or transitions you encounter. We have a link "Locate installers near me" below the photos and videos on our product pages which will allow you to search...

  • Roof Rack and 2 Kayak Carrier Fit Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Volt
  • The Rhino Rack part number # RR85MR is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Chevy Volt and would do well for carrying 2 kayaks. For a kayak carrier the part # S512 would then fit these bars and to expand it to a 2 kayak carrier the part # RRS512X would be all you need. You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle for the roof rack capacity and then be sure the weight of your kayaks do not exceed this figure.

  • Best Trailer Hitch for 2012 Chevy Volt
  • We do have installation instructions for the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7186 and I have sent them to you in a separate email. As you mentioned in your question, there are 3 trailer hitches available for your 2012 Chevy Volt and they are all quite a bit different from each other. Even though it does require the longest installation process I really like the completely hidden design of the EcoHitch # 306-X7186 that you referenced. The 2 inch receiver actually installs...
