Expert Answers about Fiat 500


  • Fit of Pewag Servo RS64 Tire Chains on 195/45-16 Tires on 2013 Fiat 500
  • No worries, you're good to go. When we say 'automatic' in the product description, we're referring to the fact that the chains will tension themselves down to fit the tire snugly, not to the vehicle's transmission. The # PWRS64 Pewag Servo chains will fit the 185/55-15 or 195/45-16 tires on your 2013 Fiat 500. I'll link to a demonstration video that shows how to install the chains. It's recommended that you do a dry run installing the chains in a safe and dry environment like your garage...

  • Difference Between Roadmaster and Blue Ox Adapters # RM-032 and RM-031
  • The two adapters you mentioned are opposite of each other. The part # RM-032 is for going from a Blue Ox tow bar to a Roadmaster base plate kit and then the part # RM-031 is for going from a Roadmaster tow bar to a Blue Ox base plate. That's why they are so different.

  • Recommendations for a Hitch, Bike Rack, and Spare Tire Carrier for 2015 Fiat 500
  • I have a solution for your hitch and bike rack needs on your 2015 Fiat 500. Depending on which version of the Fiat 500 we have a hitch that will work for you. I recommend the Curt # C11347 if you have the Abarth style, but if you don't then the Curt # C11363 will be the correct fit for you. The bike rack I recommend for you would be the Kuat Beta # B202-114. This 1-1/4 bike rack carries 2 bikes and is lightweight and will work with the 3-3/4 inches clearance you will need with your...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth Model
  • Yes, Curt trailer hitch # C11347 will fit your 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements....

  • Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth
  • The only available trailer hitch for a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11347 so that is what I must recommend. The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver will not fit Abarth models. For a bike rack, you will be limited to two bikes because of the hitch rating, the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ is a great option.

  • Fat Tire EBike Carrier for Fiat 500
  • My suggestion is the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes #TH903202 designed for both 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches. This is rated to carry 2 bike with a weight of capacity 65 lbs per bike and a maximum tire width of 3". The carrier weight itself is 45 lbs. I suggest consideration of the longer bike straps, # TH985101 that allow up to 4-11/16" tires. While there are other options available to meet the weight requirements of your EBikes most are designed to work with a 2" receiver...

  • Can New 12 and 14 Gauge Wire be Used with Existing 10 and 12 Gauge Wiring on Gooseneck Trailer
  • The slight difference in wire gauge between the new part and the existing wiring will be fine. There isn't enough voltage or amperage, to cause any problems. It would be a different story if we were talking about more voltage and/or amperage. But in this case, no worries with the slightly smaller gauge wire.

  • Recommended Roof Rack System For 2015 Fiat 500
  • Usually the only parts of a roof rack that will be transferable to a different vehicle are the towers and crossbars if they are the same length as what is required for the new vehicle. Depending on how old your Thule Roof Rack is it may not be possible to buy the correct parts. I looked up your 2015 Fiat 500 and unfortunately there is no longer a fit kit that will allow you to install Thule crossbars on your vehicle. Instead you will need to use a completely new roof rack system and I...

  • That's a really good question, so I checked with Curt for you and verified there are no restrictions on their wiring harness, and it is absolutely compatible with your 2017 Fiat 500E; the harness that fits is the following: - Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56174 So you can use this harness without any issue with your '17 Fiat 500E, and if you also need a trailer hitch for this vehicle, I went ahead and verified for you that Curt has a hitch...

  • Cargo Carrier and Light Kit for Class I Trailer Hitch on 2015 Fiat 500
  • Those are good questions and with a Class I trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11363 that fits your 2015 Fiat 500 you do need to use a Class I compatible accessory like a cargo carrier. That means could use the Class II Reese cargo carrier you mentioned, but it wasn't designed for it. There is a very similar carrier which will work. Also, to answer your question about the weight of the hitch, it is about 25 lbs. The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 is compatible with a Class I hitch...

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24873 Fit a 2017 Fiat 500 Lounge Coupe
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11363 will fit all 2017 Fiat 500 models excluding the Abarth so it is compatible with your Lounge. Please note that on page 246 of your owner's manual it states that your vehicle is not recommended to tow a trailer. You will want to check your owner's manual to see if this is the same case. If in fact you can tow a trailer with your Fiat 500 you will also need wiring like the T-One # 118546 and a drawbar/hitch ball like parts # 3594 and # 19258.

  • Will Hollywood Racks Express Bike Carrier Fit 2012 Fiat 500 POP Hatchback
  • I called my contact at Hollywood Racks and asked about your 2012 Fiat 500 POP. They said the Hollywood Racks Express, part # HRE3 is a great fit for your Fiat. This bike rack weighs just 10-lbs, and has a weight capacity of 35-lbs per bike. When carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier...

  • How to Carry Bikes With 2014 Fiat 500e

  • Is There Enough Clearance to Tow Fiat 500 on Roadmaster Tow Dolly
  • Yes, your Fiat 500 has enough clearance to be used with the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1. I also took a look at the wheel size if your Fiat, and from what I can see it will have either 15" or 16" wheels, which are also compatible with the dolly, so you aren't going to have any issues there either. I have added links below to a couple video reviews as well of the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes # RM-2050-1.
