Expert Answers about Chevrolet Cruze


  • Recommendation for Small Trailer to Haul Furniture with 2014 Chevy Cruze
  • A small utility trailer like the K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame # K2MMT5X7 that we offer would be a great choice for you. The trailer weighs around 450 bs, which would leave lots of capacity available for cargo. The trailer is extremely versatile, with removable sides and a folding front and rear tailgate for tons of carrying options. The Curt # C11282 hitch you'd looked at would work perfectly, and for a wiring harness I'd recommend # 118508.

  • Can the Curt Trailer Hitch C11371 be Used to Tow a Trailer with a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11371 can absolutely be used to tow a U-Haul trailer. However, the towing capacity of your Cruze is only 1,000 lbs so the trailer cannot exceed this figure. I was able to look up a few of the U-Haul trailers and there are some under this capacity. In addition to the above trailer hitch you will also need a trailer wiring harness like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56214, a ball mount like the Curt Drawbar part # C45522, and...

  • Recommendation for Installing Curt Trailer HItch on 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
  • To install the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11458 on your 2017 Chevrolet Cruze, I recommend checking a local mechanic or auto shop. Trailer hitch installation is a fairly simple process for experienced mechanics and any reputable shop should be able to handle it without issue. This particular Curt Trailer hitch, which is confirmed to fit your vehicle, has an estimated installation time of around 40 minutes. No drilling will be required, however the exhaust will need to be temporarily lowered....

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for 2012 Chevrolet Cruze With 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
  • We have a couple different style ball mounts that will work with the hitch on your Cruze. For a standard ball mount I recommend the Curt, part # C45522. This ball mount has a 3-7/8 inch rise to help provide a bit more ground clearance. For a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # C40001, and for a 2-inch ball I recommend part # C40018. If you like the looks of the Euro ball mounts I recommend part # C45592 that comes with a 2-inch hitch ball and I recommend part # C45591 for a 1-7/8...

  • Recommended Cargo Bag For Curt C18145 Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
  • Although it would be slightly larger than the inside dimension of the Curt # C18145 carrier, the MaxxTow Cargo Bag, part # M2202 would be the closest fit, and is what I'd recommend. The bag is 46 x 22 inches, versus the 46-3/8 x 17-9/16 interior dimensions of the cargo carrier, but the bag is soft sided and would still fit just fine in the carrier. The durable bag is constructed of a weather resistant PVC material, it includes 8 tie-down straps and features hook and loop flaps that cover...

  • Fairing Recommendation for Sportrack Roof Rack part # SR1010
  • The best fairing option for the Sportrack Roof Rack part # SR1010 is going to be the Inno Fairing part # INA261. When picking out a fairing you want to go with the size that matches the distance between the feet of the rack. So the 40 inch long Inno would be a great option.

  • How to Transport Bike on a 2014 Chevy Cruze Being Flat Towed
  • Your best option is going to be to install a roof rack on your 2014 Chevy Cruze and then use roof rack mounted bike racks on the Cruze to carry your bikes as there are no adapters like the part # D210 that have enough drop for what you are trying to do. For a roof rack the best bang for your buck option is the Rhino Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK142. For a bike rack the Rhino-Rack MountainTrail Rooftop Bike Carrier # RBC035 would be a great option as well.

  • Trailer Wiring and Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2014 Chevy Cruze
  • The trailer wiring harness part # 118508 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2014 Chevy Cruze, but it will only provide the taillight functions for a trailer. To activate the trailer brakes you will need two more things. First you will need the part # ETBC7 to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. This comes with everything needed for the install. Next you will need a brake controller. For a brake controller I would recommend the...

  • Can the Yakima HoldUp EVO be Used with Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2013 Chevy Cruze
  • The Yakima HoldUp EVO # Y02480 is an excellent bike rack that I believe you'd be happy with but I do have to say that it is 50 lbs. When I looked up the online version of the owner's manual for your 2013 Chevy Cruze it stated that the max trailer weight for your vehicle is 1,000 lbs and that the max tongue weight is 10% of that (100 lbs). So even if you're using the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11282 which has a 200 lb tongue weight rating, you are limited to the 100 lbs. If your bikes don't weigh...

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Cruze to Carry Bike Rack
  • Your Chevy Cruze would need a trailer hitch installed in order to carry the Thule DoubleTrack # TH92BJ bike rack. The hitch is sold separately. Of the hitches available for your Cruze, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24882. The Draw-Tite model isn't the least expensive, but it would be better suited to carrying the bike rack you're interested in. The Curt # C11282 warranty stipulates that a stabilizing strap, part # 18050 be used for non-trailer loads like bike racks....

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Cruze Hatchback
  • I really like the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK489 that fits your 2019 Chevy Cruze hatchback. It's a higher quality roof rack that's easy to install and use at a much better price than the other racks that are similar in quality. The only thing else I'd recommend is a set of locks for the bars part # RRVA-LEC4 and you'd be set.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy Cruze
  • The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24882, does not require a stabilization strap when carrying non-trailer loads such as a bike rack. But it is a good idea on a class I trailer hitch just because it relieves some of the stress on the hitch. If you decide to use a strap, you can use # 18050. Since this is a class I trailer hitch, you will need to make sure your bike rack is compatible. Some racks cannot be used on a class I trailer hitch. If you find you do need a rack that is compatible with...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2014 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ With RS Package
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 24882, is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ with the RS package. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I have attached a drawing that shows the hitch receiver along with the fascia. Because of the lower back bumper on the LTZ, you will need a drawbar with a rise to accommodate an accessory like a bike rack or a cargo carrier. If you plan on towing a small trailer with your Cruze, I recommend...

  • Which Kuat NV Bike Rack to Use with 1-1/4 inch Hitch of 2012 Chevy Cruze
  • I do not like recommending 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch adapters since they cut the already low hitch capacity by 50 percent. Instead your best option would be to use the Kuat NV 2.0 that was designed for 1-1/4 inch hitches part # NV12G with the Draw Tite # 24882.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for 2018 Chevy Cruze Hatchback Diesel
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # 24951 is not a confirmed fit for your 2018 Chevy Cruze hatchback diesel nor are any other parts as they have not yet been tested with this new model combination. However, based on the mounting location and other information I believe I can recommend a system that should fit. The rear frame won't be altered by the diesel engine in that bumper mount location, so it is extremely likely that it will fit. If...

  • What Crossbars and Cargo Carrier do You Recommend for My 2019 Chevy Cruze?
  • In order to mount a roof top carrier for luggage, you definitely need a roof rack system on your 2019 Chevy Cruze LT. For a great crossbar system, I recommend the following parts if you have a sedan model Cruze: - Round 48" CrossBars for Yakima Roof Rack System # Y00408 - BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs # Y28TR - RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers # Y03536 - BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler For 2009 Daewoo Lacetti Premiere CDX
  • For your 2009 Daewoo Lacetti Premiere CDX, I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class III - Efficient # D13503. These are often vehicle specific fit coolers, but are compatible with similar size vehicles. This seems to be a good fit for a vehicle your size. It will allow you to cool your transmission so that you can have a prolonged transmission life with better performance. I've attached some articles to help.
