Expert Answers about Chevrolet Equinox

• How to Carry E-Bikes with 2019 Chevy Equinox
• Unfortunately there are no suspension enhancements available for the 2019 Chevy Equinox that would help combat rear end sag on your vehicle while carrying these heavy bikes. I would also add that using a hitch extender like the # HE06 often times reduces the tongue weight capacity of your vehicle by 50%, so you'll want to make sure that you're not overloading the vehicle's capacity when carrying these bikes. It might be worth looking at removing the batteries of the bikes and storing...

• Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying a Fat Bike and a Standard Frame Bike
• The great thing about the fat bike racks is that they also work with standard tire bikes as well. A great example of this is the Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV which we have tested fat bikes and standard tire bikes on and it worked flawlessly. As long as your tires are 5" wide or less, this rack is your best option.

• Base Plate Needed for Demco Tow Bar & 2017 Equinox
• Since you have a Demco Tow Bar, I suggest the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit, # DM9518315 for your 2017 Equinox. This is compatible with all Demco tow bars. The Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System, # BLU37TR is a great choice and what I recommend. This unit lets you monitor your braking system while you're driving your motorhome, so you'll always be aware that the Patriot 3 is working and functioning properly. For your tow bar wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire...

• Is there a Backup-Alert Reverse Light for Bulb Type 921 for the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox
• Your 2013 Chevrolet Equinox uses a type 921 backup light bulb. The Hopkins product you reviewed, part # HM20101VA, is a replacement for the type 3156 bulb. My contact at Hopkins advises that they do not offer an audible alarm replacement bulb for the 921 type. I also checked with two other suppliers of aftermarket lighting products, Putco and Optronics, and neither of these suppliers offers a 921 replacement bulb with alarm. However, we do offer the Custer Surface Mount Back-up Alarm,...

• Availability of 2-Inch Class III Hitch for 2013 Chevrolet Equinox
• Your bike rack requires a 2-inch rear-mounted hitch receiver for installation on any vehicle and we do offer the correct hitch for your 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. The best option is the etrailer 2-inch Class III hitch # e98865 because it is both the lower-priced choice and offers a great weight capacity than the alternative product, Curt hitch # 13591. The etrailer hitch installs without drilling and it includes all required mounting hardware. Both the written instructions and a helpful video...

• Will Aftermarket Hitch for 2020 Chevy Equinox Fit Behind rear Bumper Cutout
• All of the aftermarket hitches that fit your 2022 Chevy Equinox Premier will sit below the rear bumper fascia and aren't designed to be hidden behind that rear panel - for that exact setup you'll need to have an OEM hitch installed. If the receiver being behind that panel isn't a deal breaker then I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR because it has a matte black finish that not only blends in better with your vehicle trim but it does a better job holding up...

• Is There a Hidden Receiver Available for a 2023 Chevrolet Equinox Which Fits Behind Factory Cover?
• Currently the only receivers we carry for your 2023 Chevrolet Equinox are designed to exit under the rear bumper fascia like our etrailer Receiver # e59ZR. The only way I see a receiver available which hides entirely behind the rear fascia cover is on the factory option which you have to get directly from Chevrolet. We do have the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C94FR which will allow you to connect to your factory wiring and provide you with a 4-way flat connector.

• Is There a 1-1/4" Hitch for a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox
• There is a 1-1/4" Class II receiver that fits on the 2020 Chevy Equinox with the Draw-Tite # 36642. This hitch has the 1-1/4 receiver that you're looking for. If you're going to be towing anything with your Equinox you may need a few other items to complete your towing setup.

• Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2021 Chevy Equinox
• To add trailer wiring for your 2021 Chevy Equinox you'd want to start with the Tekonsha part # 118759 which provides the 4-way that covers the taillight circuits. Then you'll need to convert it to a 7-way since you want ability to charge a battery. For that you'd need the part # ETBC7L which comes with a 7-way adapter and everything needed to activate that circuit.

• Trailer Hitch Fit Recommendation for 2020 Chevy Equinox
• We do indeed have trailer hitches available for the 2020 Chevy Equinox. If your Equinox is not a Diesel model, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch part # C77FR. If it IS a Diesel, you'd want to use the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 76217. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118759 if your vehicle is a Premier model, # 118750 if it isn't a Premier, and if it has the factory tow package, you'd use # C94FR which includes the relays needed...

• Availability of Blind Spot Mirrors For a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox
• I have many blind spot mirrors available for your 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. The blind spot mirrors are universal and can be attached by one of three ways, clamp-on, clip-on, and stick-on.

You will want to choose the correct mirror by the size that will fit the mirrors on your vehicle now. I am including a link to a page of the blind spot mirrors I have available. I do not...

• Curt 4-Way to 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat for 2016 Chevrolet Equinox
• I recommend the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672, 4-Way to 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat. What I like about this is that it provides you the needed 7 way but extends out the existing 4 way making both available. Please note that while this will allow the 7 way to plug into vehicle it will still only support the lighting functions of the 4 way. If you want full functionality of the 7 way you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 as well. Please...
