Expert Answers about Pontiac Grand Prix


  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix SE Sedan to Tow Small Trailer
  • The best trailer hitch we offer for your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix SE Sedan is the Curt Class II hitch part # C12199 which has the highest capacity of all of the hitches we offer, is made in the USA, and will only have the hitch opening hang down below for a more concealed look. Then for trailer wiring you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # 18252 for a 4-way. Then for a ball mount you'd want Curt ball mount part # C45520 and for a hitch ball either # C40018 for a 2 inch ball or part # C40001...

  • Bike Adapter Bar Recommendation for Kids Bikes Carried on a Hanging Bike Rack
  • Most likely yes, the Kuat Adapter bar part # UB01 will provide a horizontal attachment point for a hanging bike rack. A lot of kids bikes have small, odd shaped frames so an adapter bar like this will allow them to be used on a hanging bike rack. For more info on how this adapter works check out the review video I attached.

  • Will Curt Class II Hitch # C12225 Fit 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP
  • For your 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class II Frame Receiver Hitch # 36241. I checked with Draw-Tite and this Class II hitch is confirmed to fit all models of the 2006 Grand Prix. I have attached the complete written instructions for your reference. This is a really nice hitch that will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver to use for hitch-mounted accessories or some light towing. If you can tell me what you plan on using the hitch for (bike/cargo rack, towing...

  • Trailer Hitch fit for a 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP
  • I checked with Curt and they do not have any fit exclusions for the Curt hitch part # C12225 for the GXP models of the 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix so it would work well on your GXP model. For a ball mount you would want the part # C45522 and then for a ball part # C40001 for a -7/8 inch ball or part # C40018 for a 2 inch ball. For trailer wiring you would want to go with the # 56076.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix to Carry a Scooter
  • If you have the base model (SE) 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix, the Class II trailer hitch with the highest tongue weight capacity is the Curt hitch # C12199 that you have referenced. It has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. But, if the car has a lower capacity, you must go by that. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. But for Curt, for any non-trailer load you must use a stabilization strap, # 18050, for the Curt warranty requirements.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix 2 DR Coupe
  • I recommend going with a Yakima Roof Track System for your 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix 2 Dr Coupe. This track mounts directly to the roof of your Grand Prix with PlusNut hardware. Installation does require drilling through the roof of your vehicle so if you are uncomfortable doing this yourself, I strongly encourage you to take your vehicle to a local body shop to have the track system installed. Each component for the Yakima Roof Track System is sold separately so in order to have the complete...

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix for Towing Small Rental Trailer
  • The hitch for your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix is the Curt Class II hitch # C12225. This hitch has a 1-1/4-inch receiver opening and a maximum trailer weight rating of 3500-lbs, which should be plenty for a small rental trailer. This hitch fits several versions of the Grand Prix, the GT Coupe, the sedan and the GTP. Many of our customer choose to tackle hitch installation on their own, but in the case of your vehicle some drilling is required. You also need a torque wrench to tighten the included...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix with a Factory Spoiler
  • Both the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Carrier # TH88VR and the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT are confirmed to fit your 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix with a factory spoiler. The TH88VR has arched arms that are specifically designed to fit over the spoiler so it would be the one I would recommend going with.

  • Hitch Recommendation for Carrying 2 Bikes Using Thule T2 Classic # TH9044 on 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix
  • I have another option for you. You'll want to use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12225. Due to the higher 300 lb tongue weight capacity of this hitch, which is lowered to 150 lbs by the # HTAD adapter, you could use your Thule # TH9044 rack and still have a little capacity remaining. The problem you're going to run into using a Class I hitch along with the adapter is that the tongue weight capacity of the hitch will be reduced by 50 percent. The rack...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT with Spoiler
  • Hollywood Racks has some trunk mount racks that they indicate will fit your 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix with factory spoiler. You can use the Express 2, # HRE2. I have linked a video review of this rack for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to...

  • Thule Gateway Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier Recommendation for a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix
  • The Thule Gateway 2 Bike Carrier # TH88VR is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix. I checked with Thule to verify this. I wish I had a trunk mounted bike rack that would fit your 2003 Jaguar XK convertible but I checked with our manufacturers and none of them carry anything for that vehicle. I attached a review video for the # TH88VR for you to check out also. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bike you may also be interested in purchasing a Thule Bike...

  • The highest capacity hitch we have for your 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix is going to be the Curt part # C12225 which has a tongue weight rating of 350 lbs. You would need to make sure the weight of your carrier and scooter weighs less than that together.

  • Could a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix Tow a Wave Runner with a Trailer Hitch
  • That depends on the weight of your wave runner and trailer. The Curt Hitch part # C12225 that your referenced is a Class II hitch with 3,500 lbs towing and 350 tongue weight capacity. If your trailer falls under those figures, then yes, this hitch would work for you. You will need to also check your owner's manual to determine what your vehicle's towing capacity is as hitches for vehicles do not always have the same capacities. The lower figure of the two would be your overall towing...

  • The most popular transmission cooler for your 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix is the Derale part # D13503 which also requires the fitting part # D13035.

  • For your 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, there are two Class II hitches available. We have the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 36241 and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C12225. They both are class II, have a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds, have a towing capacity of 3500 pounds, and have a 1-1/4 inch hitch opening.

  • Recommended Trunk Bike Rack for 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Sedan with Factory Spoiler
  • According to my contact at Hollywood Racks the Express isn't designed for vehicles with factory spoilers. He told me it may fit if the spoiler was very small, approximately 1 inch or smaller. For this reason, I would instead recommend you go with the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. Take a look at the videos of this rack and I think you will feel good about it fitting your Grand Prix. It is also important to note that the Grand Prix is known for having a soft bumper, you will want to make sure...

  • Recommendation for a Hitch and Bike Rack for my 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT to Haul 4 Bikes
  • The Curt Class II 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C12225, would be a good option for your 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. Tongue weight capacity is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely suspended from a hitch and the use of a hitch adapter like # HTAD will reduce a vehicle's tongue weight capacity by 50 percent. The only hitches that are available for the 2001 Grand Prix GT are Class II which has the 1-1/4 inch receiver. You...

  • Bike Rack Options for a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix With Spoiler
  • As long as the spoiler was factory installed and not an aftermarket option on your 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, then you may want to take a look at the Thule Gateway 2 Bike Rack, # TH88VR. I can tell you that Thule does not test fit their bike racks of vehicles with spoilers, but they designed this bike rack to fit over most OEM spoilers. If you were looking for a guaranteed fit, then the best option is to add a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted bike rack. The advantages to using a hitch...
