  • Trailer Hitch Fits for 2012 Chevrolet Cruze 2LT RS
  • All three of the light-duty Class I hitches we offer for the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze will fit all models of the vehicle. The trim level does not affect hitch compatibility. Of the three hitches shown on the linked page I suggest the Curt # C11282 since it has the same weight capacity as the others but it costs less. An installation video for the Curt hitch # C11282 is included along with the written instructions. You'll need basic tools; the only specialized item required is a torque wrench...

When installing the rack, Thule specifically states that the bottom mounting hooks need to attach to the metal bumper...

  • Recommended Roof Rack for 2015 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan
  • There is a SportRack semi-custom roof rack that fits the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze sedan and it is part # SR1010; rack # SR1002 is not a fit for your car. Because this rack is designed to fit on many different cars, its fit on any given car will not be quite as precise as with a custom-fit rack that is designed specifically for your particular car. The best option for a cost-effective square bar rack is the custom-fit Rhino-Rack 2500 Series, made of parts # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK142....

  • Can Trailer Hitch for a 2001 Ford Windstar Fit a 2011 Chevy Cruze
  • The hitch companies custom design the hitch so it fits a certain year make and model vehicle. In some instances, the same part number hitch will fit numerous model years of the same vehicle, with the hitches for the Honda Odyssey being an example. This being said, a hitch designed for a 2001 Ford Windstar would not fit a 2011 Chevy Cruze. We offer a hitch that's custom designed for the Cruze. If you're needing the hitch as an attachment point for a bike rack, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite...

  • Is the Kuat Transfer 2 Bike Rack Compatible with Full Suspension Downhill Bike?
  • The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR will absolutely hold a full suspension downhill bike. The ratcheting wheel hooks will securely hold the front wheel and the wheel strap for the rear wheel will secure the bike further in place.

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 2014 Chevy Cruze
  • The SportRack light-duty roof rack # SR1010 is a confirmed fit on your 2014 Chevy Cruze and it will be compatible with almost any roof-rack-mount kayak carrier since it uses square bars. But do please note that this rack has the lowest weight rating of all racks made for your car (90-lbs), so while it is a nice value it may not be the best choice for transporting a kayak. If, for instance, you are planning to take just one 40 or 50-lb kayak only a short distance on local roads, not on...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Availability for a 2018 Chevrolet Cruze

The weight capacity for this bike rack is 40 lbs per bike but it is made of a durable aluminum that has a powder-coated finish which gives this rack superior rust resistance.
