  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2012 Fiat 500 Pop and Carry Bike and Kayak Carrier
  • As long as the 2012 Fiat 500 Pop you end up with is a manual transmission vehicle it can be flat towed behind a motorhome. The first thing you need is a base plate kit which for that we have the part # BX2801. 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. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps...

  • Parts Needed to Attach a Roadmaster Tow Dolly to a Thor Freedom Elite 24FE
  • When using the The Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 to tow your 2018 Fiat 500X behind your Thor Freedom Elite 24FE, the tow dolly will do the signaling, not the vehicle. Therefore you need a 7-way trailer connector for both the tow dolly and motorhome unless you already have them. For the motorhome, I recommend using the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 with the Universal Installation Kit part # ETBC7. Since your motorhome is larger than...

  • Your 2017 Fiat 500C is compatible with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4", part # C11363. This hitch receiver has a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs and the maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs.

This hitch bike rack comes with an anti-rattle hitch pin to eliminate...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Fiat 500 Convertible
  • There is a way to carry bikes with your 2012 Fiat 500 convertible. What you can do is install a trailer hitch # C11363 (does not fit Abarth models) or for an Abarth model use # C11347. Then you can use a Class I compatible bike rack such as the NEO2 # B01748. This rack holds the bikes at the wheels so it is compatible with many bike styles. And it weighs just 15 pounds so it is easy to handle. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.

  • Can 15 inch Trailer Tire be Replaced with 16 inch Trailer Tire
  • The 16 inch size you mentioned isn't a standard trailer tire size so if the plan was to install a passenger vehicle tire on the trailer that would not be recommended at all. The closest trailer tire size we have to what you need is the 235/80-16 which is 30.9 inches in diameter and 10 mm wider than what you currently have. As long as the additional size wouldn't cause a clearance issue and your old wheels have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern a wheel like the Kenda Wheel and Tire part #...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Fiat 500 with Spoiler
  • The trunk mounted bike rack I recommend for your 2017 Fiat 500 that has a spoiler is the Yakima FullBack part # Y02634. I attached a picture of the rack installed on a 500 just like yours with a spoiler but I recommend it because it's lightweight, easy to use, has a wide contact pad on the rack to better distribute the weight of the bikes and rack on the rear of the vehicle and because it comes with locks for the bikes and for the rack to the car. If you plan on carrying any womens or...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2015 Fiat 500
  • The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11363 is confirmed to fit your 2015 Fiat 500. This is a fully welded, corrosion-resistant Class I hitch that will use existing holes in your Fiat's frame for a no-drill installation. The heat shield on the vehicle would need to be modified to fit the Curt hitch into place. I have attached an installation video for this Hitch on your 2015 Fiat 500 that you can use for reference.

  • 2012 Fiat 500 Recommendation for Carrying Cargo
  • Since you have the panoramic glass roof on your 2012 Fiat 500 we are going to need to go with an alternative solution for transporting cargo as there isn't a roof rack that fits with the glass roof. For your application I recommend installing a trailer hitch and using that to add some cargo carrying room to your vehicle. You can use the Curt Trailer # C11347 if you have the Abarth but if you don't then use the Curt Hitch part # C11363 instead. The # C11347 has a hidden crosstube design...

  • Best Way To Get Stay-IN-Play Vacuum Line Thru Firewall On A Fiat 500
  • Hey Leehan, that is a great question. I double checked with our installers, and I was told that the hole used on this 2012 Fiat 500 was naturally occurring and not drilled. There was a hole located above/left of the gas pedal. If you pull back the carpet/insulation, you should see a plugged hole that can be used for the vacuum line and wiring for the Domco SMI Stay-IN-Play # SM99251. Unfortunately, we do not have any photos or videos showing the exact location. That said, this was on...

  • Capacity of Trailer Hitch for 2017 Fiat 500L
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11364 has a 2,000 lb towing capacity and a 200 lb tongue weight capacity although your 2017 Fiat 500L may have a lower rated capacity so you will need to check your owner's manual to determine what the capacity of your vehicle is and go by the lowest-rated component. If your trailer and mobility scooter fall under the weights of the hitch or vehicle it will be safe to tow. As for installation expense, that can vary widely but a certified mechanic should...

  • Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2012 Fiat 500
  • You could use the Thule Arcos Enclosed Cargo Carrier - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - 14 cu ft - 110 lbs # TH25YE on your 2012 Fiat 500. It will fit your Curt class 1 hitch # C11363, but you will be limited in the amount of cargo that you can add. The Curt hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. Since the Thule Arcos weighs 110 pound, you could safely add 90 pounds of cargo. It is vital that you do not exceed the weight capacity of the hitch or your Fiat, you will want to make sure...
