  • Recommendation on a Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • Between the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11457, and the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch , # 24956, I recommend the Draw-Tite Hitch for its better ground clearance. The Draw-Tite hitch's receiver opening sits closer to the hitch cross tube. The location of the receiver will give you more ground clearance over the Curt hitch design.When installing this hitch, minor trimming of the bumper fascia is required. Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2017 Chevy Bolt and Thule EasyFold Bike Rack
  • Yes, you can use either Draw-Tite hitch # 24956 or Curt trailer hitch # C11457 with the Thule EasyFold bike rack, # TH903202, on your 2017 Chevy Bolt. If it were me I would go with the Draw-Tite hitch # 24956 for 2 reasons. First, Draw-Tite does not require the use of a stabilization strap for non-trailer loads like Curt does. If you went with the Curt hitch you would also need to use stabilization strap # 18050. And second customers have reported that the receiver on the Curt hitch hangs...

  • 4-Way Flat Vehicle Wiring Harness Options For a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • As no manufacturer has a wiring kit that has been identified to work with your 2020 Chevrolet Bolt, the only product I would recommend for you is the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. This product uses sensors to detect when power travels through the wiring in the harness on your Bolt. The wiring in current vehicles is much more delicate and the computers can interpret additional voltage draw as a fault and cause the vehicle to not operate properly so I do not recommend...

  • Bracket in The Way Installing Curt Hitch For 2020 Chevy Bolt
  • Thank you for the photos, and I do see that metal piece there interfering with the Curt Hitch # C11457 on your 2020 Chevy Bolt EV. I can tell you that we have not seen this before, and I called Curt who also said it's something they have not had any customers reach out to them about it and have never come across this issue. That is a bracket for a harness which looks to be sticking out more than it should, possibly causing interference. Curt told me the best thing to try and do was use...

  • Best Hitch to Use with a Thule Helium Pro on a 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • I have a great hitch for you! It's the Draw-Tite Class I, part # 24956. This has a 1-1/4" receiver with a maximum towing capacity of 2000 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds. I've linked to a video installation of this hitch, and you will see in the video that it has a hitch pin hole recessed far enough to accommodate the Helium Pro. The Helium Pro, part # TH9042PRO, fits a 1-1/4" receiver like the Draw-Tite by design. The piece used to adapt it to 2" receivers is a separate...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit on 2022 Chevy Bolt EV
  • There is indeed a trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2022 Chevy Bolt EV, with the best option being one from EcoHitch: - EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 This is the best option because it is the only hitch for this vehicle which has a 2 inch receiver, which allows you to carry any class of bike rack or cargo carrier; the other hitches that fit a '22 Bolt EV are 1-1/4 inch, Class I hitches, and those limit you to a Class I-compatible accessory. The EcoHitch # 306-X7359...

  • Class I Hitch Compatibility with Bike Racks
  • The hitch you purchased from us last year for your 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV is the Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24956. Class I hitches are a light-duty type that can handle the load of only 2-bikes, so most likely the rack you have is not a Class I-rated model but is instead a Class II and that is why it will not fit properly in the hitch. In this hitch you must use a Class I-compatible rack of no more than 2-bike capacity like those shown on the linked page. The combined weight of the rack...

  • How To Carry 4 Bikes on a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24956 for your 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV does indeed have a 200 lb max tongue weight rating however, the hitch is almost always rated for more weight than the vehicle can handle. In addition to weight capacity, the maximum number of bikes that can be loaded on a Class I hitch is 2 and since they only make a Class I hitch for your vehicle, you will be limited to 2 bikes. The reason for the 2 bike maximum has more to do with leverage than...

  • Is Trimming Required To Install Trailer Hitch On 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV
  • The trailer hitch options for a 2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV all require minor trimming of an underbody fascia panel. That said, this won't even be visible from outside the vehicle. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11457 however does require the least amount of trimming so this is what I recommend. I have attached a photo below.

  • Will the Thule Passage Bike Rack Fit a 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV or What Rack Can Be Used
  • No, the Thule Passage Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # TH910XT will not fit your 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV. According to the Thule fit information guide, "all instances of this vehicle come with a factory spoiler which is not strong enough to take the weight of our strap carriers." We do not have any trunk style mount carriers confirmed to work with the 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EV. You could use a hitch mounted bike rack like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # HLY94FR. If you...

  • Weight of EcoHitch & Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch For 2020 Chevy Bolt EV
  • The installed weight of the Draw-Tite is 25 lbs, while the EcoHitch weight is 32 lbs. Both of these hitches do fit your 2020 Chevy Bolt EV, but between the two the best option is the EcoHitch, which is the following part number: - EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359 The reason the EcoHitch # 306-X7359 is the best for your Bolt EV is because it has a 2" receiver, compared to the 1-1/4" receiver of the Draw-Tite # 24956; the Draw-Tite is also a Class I hitch. Additionally,...
