- What Base Plate Do You Recommend for My 2005 Pontiac Vibe?
- For a great quality base plate for your 2005 Pontiac Vibe, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX3224. The Blue Ox plate comes with a custom-fitting that will be able to attach to the front of your vehicle. It also includes a straightforward installation with no welding necessary.
If you need a tow bar to go along with the base plate, I recommend the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar - Car Mount - 2" # BX4330. The Acclaim will fit with the Blue Ox Base Plates without...

- We do have a couple of solutions for your 2008 Pontiac G8's hitch application. Keep in mind, all of the hitches designed for your G8 are Class I, such as the Curt # C11138 which has a 1/1-4" receiver tube, 200 lbs. of tongue weight, and 2000 lbs. of gross trailer weight.
If you're determined to use a Class II or Class III bike rack or cargo carrier with this Curt hitch, it is still possible. Curt hitches do not come with the weld stop inside the receiver tube that is otherwise typical...

- Best solution we have is a new cat back system part # MF16760 which is a confirmed fit for your 2007 Pontiac G6 with a 3.5 liter V6.
We don't have just resonators, but with this you'd get all new exhaust from behind the cats so you'd not have to worry about the rest of it failing.

- As long as the spoiler was factory installed and not an aftermarket option on your 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, then you may want to take a look at the Thule Gateway 2 Bike Rack, # TH88VR. I can tell you that Thule does not test fit their bike racks of vehicles with spoilers, but they designed this bike rack to fit over most OEM spoilers.
If you were looking for a guaranteed fit, then the best option is to add a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted bike rack. The advantages to using a hitch...
view full answer... - Will the Draw-Tite Hitch Part # C12225 Scrape on a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix
- Whenever you install a trailer hitch receiver like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12225 on a vehicle that sits low like your 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, the chance of scraping is always going to be a concern. However, what you can do is have a skid wheel like part # UF48-979022 welded to the bottom of the receiver tube as this would then prevent any scraping. This is the only option we have to prevent scraping.
If you can tell me what you will be using the trailer hitch for, I would...

- If you have a motorhome mounted tow bar like the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-677 then you should not have any issues at all using the Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack part # C18013. I called my contact at Roadmaster to confirm this as well.
Please note that if any of your bikes have an alternative frame or deep drop tube then you are almost certainly going to need to use the Thule Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # TH982XT to keep the bikes for interfering with the tow bar....
view full answer... - Replacement Wheel Solutions for Demco Tow Dolly
- We have just what you are looking for to replace the wheel of your Demco Tow Dolly with the part # DM11574 for just the wheel or part # DM5965 for the wheel and tire! A standard trailer wheel like the # AM20364 will not work as it doesn't have the correct offset which is why you have to use the Demco wheel options.
Standard trailer wheels like the # AM20364 have a zero offset while Demco wheels like the # DM11574 have a +42mm offset.

- To add a 4- and 7-Way connector to your 2005 Pontiac Vibe that already has a 4-Way AND to have it work with the Prodigy RF # TK94FR you will need a couple of parts. First you will need # 37185. The 4-Way you have plugs into this, retains the 4-Way and also adds a 7-Way.
This adapter has several wires that you will need to hardwire to the vehicle so that it will work with the RF. First, ground the white wire to the frame. Since you are using the Prodigy RF you will not need the blue wire...

view full answer... - Hitch and Accessories Recommended for 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP Copue
- There is no reason why you could not use a hitch on your G6 GTP. The Draw-Tite Class II Receiver Hitch, part # 36426 is a fit for either the coupe or the sedan. The hitch has a towing capacity of 3500 lbs, and a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs.
I would recommend checking your owners manual for information regarding the vehicle towing capacity, you will not want to exceed this capacity.
You will also need a the recommended draw bar for this hitch, part # 36065, a pin and clip part #...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Recommendation for 2009 Pontiac Solstice
- I really like the Saris SuperClamp EX part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also it'll be very easy to load bikes on since it's a platform rack.
This rack also only touches bikes at the tire so it protects any damage to delicate frame materials or finishes.
If you wanted something less expensive I have another option for you to consider.

view full answer... - How to Raise Trailer Hitch Receiver Height on a 2006 Pontiac Montana for a Wheelchair and Scooter
- The Roadmaster High-Low adapter # RM-076 is designed for use with tow bars only, when flat towing a vehicle behind a motor home. They are not meant for use for any other application.
Some adapters and extenders can reduce the tongue weight capacity of a trailer hitch. Others do not. It depends on the adapter and the trailer hitch Class.
What I recommend is the Curt multipurpose ball mount # D210. This will provide extra height and it will not reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer...

- Both the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Carrier # TH88VR and the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT are confirmed to fit your 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix with a factory spoiler. The TH88VR has arched arms that are specifically designed to fit over the spoiler so it would be the one I would recommend going with.
If you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT. I attached a review video for this product also.

- There are indeed a few trailer hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2008 Pontiac Vibe. Since you do not have the GT model, I recommend going with the Curt Class II Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C12234. This Class II hitch is custom-fit for your vehicle and will use existing holes in the Vibe's frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and has a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. It features a sleek, round tube design and has a gloss black...
view full answer... - Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device Recommendation for Curt Ball Mount # C45015
- Since the shank of the ball mount part # C45015 is solid you'd have to go with a standard hitch lock like the part # TR63254 which will work well.
Then for an anti-rattle device you'd want a universal kit like the part # RM-061-125.

- Hollywood Racks has some trunk mount racks that they indicate will fit your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with factory spoiler. You can use the Express 2, # HRE2. I have linked a video review of this rack 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 bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to...
view full answer... - Does a 2008 Pontiac Torrent Require a Transmision Cooler to Pull a Camper Under the GTW Limit
- You would use a transmission cooler if, when towing your trailer, your transmission fluid is above 200 degrees Fahrenheit. However, if the manufacturer says not to install one, then you need to follow their recommendation. There could be any number of reasons why an aftermarket transmission cooler should not be installed. It might not fit anywhere, depending on where mounted it could block the engine cooling system too much, or the vehicles just have not been tested for one. If they did...
view full answer... - Does CTEK Multi Charger part # CTEK56353 Work Well for Vehicle and Motorcycle Batteries
- The CTEK Multi Charger part # CTEK56353 that you referenced will work well on both a motorcycle battery and a vehicle battery. It has a setting for either battery so it will function perfectly for either application.
I have this exact charger and use it on both a motorcycle and a vehicle and have found that it does a great job for both.
If you left either of vehicle in storage with this charger on the battery you'd be totally fine.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Options for a 2005 Pontiac Vibe GT
- There are 2 possible trailer wiring options for your 2005 Pontiac Vibe GT. The Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118458, that you have referenced would be the easiest to install. It has 3 sets of connectors and a ground wire. The 3 sets of connectors simply plug in line with your vehicle tail lights. The ground wire gets connected to a bare metal surface or existing ground point.
To get access to the connection points, you will need to remove the rear cargo area floor panel (as if...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport Van
- According to my research, your 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport Van can be flat-towed with all four wheels down but you will need to use a lube pump on the transmission to do so which we currently do not offer. I recommend confirming this with your copy of the owner's manual as that will have the final say so.
In order to flat-tow this vehicle after you acquire the lube pump you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, wiring harness, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high...
