  • What Size Hitch is Available for 1994 Suzuki Sidekick
  • For lighter duty vehicles like your 1994 Suzuki Sidekick there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Curt part # 11128. The larger 2 inch size is only seen on heavier duty vehicles like trucks and SUVs. You'd need a new bike rack that fits the 2 inch hitch size basically like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z.

  • 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...

  • Can Convert a Ball Fifth Wheel Adapter be Locked
  • Your Convert-a-Ball 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Adapter part # CAB-C5G can be locked with a padlock like our part # ML4140LH. You'd pass the shackle of the lock through the locking handle slot and out the hole in the foot of the coupler. This prevents the coupler from being opened, so it can be used while the trailer is hitched or when it's not. Either way, the lock will help deter theft by making it difficult to unlock the coupler.

  • Which Base Plate Kit for 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • According to Roadmaster, the correct base plate kit is part # 521020-1B, unless it has a brush guard. To complete your flat towing system, you'll also need a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring solution, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the height difference between the motorhome and base plates is greater than 3 inches. I've linked you to some helpful articles about flat towing.

  • Diode Wiring Solutions for a Flat Towing a 1991 Suzuki Samarai
  • From the research I did it looks like you have a separate tail light circuit. Which means your turn signals and brake lights are carried on separate circuits. The easiest way to install diodes on your setup would be to use 4 diodes and have it so that the tail lights of your 1991 Suzuki Samarai will operate as a combined circuit, so basically your current brake lights will perform the turn signal and brake light functions. Check out the picture I attached that shows how the 4 diodes of...

  • Does All of the Wiring of the Superwinch LT3000ATV Winch have to Be Used When Installing
  • I wish I could say yes it would work, but we can't recommend mixing the wiring kits from winch manufacturers. You'll have to use all of the wiring and components that come with the Superwinch LT3000ATV Winch # SW1130220 when you install it on your vehicle.

  • Flat Towing Parts Recommendation for a 1999 Suzuki Esteem
  • For a Blue Ox base plate kit for your 1999 Suzuki Esteem you would want the part # BX3512. This would work well with the Blue Ox Acclaim part # BX4330 with the that you are also considering. This tow bar comes with safety cables. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring. And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and...

  • Recommended Roof Rack And Kayak Carrier For 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The roof rack I recommend for your 2007 Grand Vitara is the thule AeroBlade roof rack. This roof rack features low-profile crossbars that are very quiet. The roof rack has a weight capacity of 165 lbs. To order this roof rack you will need part # TH7601B, part # TH7601B, and part # THKIT3024. The kayak carrier I recommend is the Thule Stacker # TH830. This carrier lets you carry two kayaks on their side at the same time. This comes with one pair of ratcheting tie-downs, two straps, and...

  • 2007 Suzuki SX4 Crossover Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation with Curt Hitch
  • For a Class I hitch like the part # C11443 which is what you'd have installed on your 2007 Suzuki SX4 you are putting quite a bit of leverage on it with a hitch adapter/riser. You most likely are straining the hitch beyond what it can safely handle too which is asking for trouble. The sag you mentioned is a good indicator of that. Your best option is a cargo carrier that fits the hitch without the use of an adapter like the # C18145. You would also need a stabilizer strap # 18050, this...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • For a hitch on your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75448, which is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and is a complete bolt-on installation so there is not going to be any drilling into your Suzuki's frame required. To add a 4-way to power your trailer's lights you'll need the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # 56002. For towing, I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900, which may fulfill your towing needs in one tidy package; two ball mounts - one with...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover
  • If you click on the provided link, you can see which of our trunk mounted bike racks are a confirmed fit for your 2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover. As you might notice, Yakima and Thule disagree on the advisability of carrying three bikes on the hatchback model of the SX4, which is not uncommon. In a situation like that, I typically advise people go the safe route and stick to using a rack with a 2 bike capacity. Of the racks listed, I can highly recommend the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. Trunk...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • Many of our customers install their hitches themselves. You can always have a trusted mechanic or handy friend or relative install it for you, if this is something you would not feel comfortable doing yourself. The Draw-Tite class III Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 75448 would be ideal for your vehicle. We offer a few bike racks that can handle 5 bicycles. The Swagman XP, # S64970, and the Thule Apex, # TH9026XT. The fit issue that we will have is the spare tire on the rear of the vehicle....

  • 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.

  • Yakima Extended LoadWarrior Cargo Basket Recommendation
  • The extension piece for the Yakima Loadwarriors are available separately, part # Y07074. But the rest of the basket is not. Your best option would be to get the # Y07070-74 that is the extended Loadwarrior. The upside is you will still have your spare install brackets in case you were to lose any.
