For a base plate kit for your 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara you would want the part # 521020-1B. This would work great with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 part # RM-520.
For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The... view full answer...
The versions of the 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara that have the factory anchor points for a roof rack should have flush rails that run front to back on the roof of the vehicle. This is what the Rhino Rack # RRRVP16 that you referenced is designed to fit. You can send me a picture of your roof if you are unsure and I can then send it to Rhino Rack to verify but if you have the anchor points this should be the rack you'd want.
Otherwise if your roof was totally naked the only option would be... view full answer...
The SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99243 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your Suzuki Grand Vitara and is a great choice if your RV has air brakes. This is a true, proportional system, which means it will actually use air pressure from the RV's brakes to apply the brakes in your towed vehicle at the same time and with the same intensity.
The initial installation can definitely be a bit more involved than some other systems, but a great thing about this... view full answer...
The Swagman 2-Bike Rack, # S64650, has a measurement of 10-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the bike rack which is the wheel mount.
You will need to measure on your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara to see if the bike rack will clear your spare tire. If you take a yardstick and hold it against the spare tire, straight up and down, and take the measurement from the center of your hitch pin hole on your hitch to the yardstick. If that measurement is less than... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Class III Receiver can be installed by anyone with average mechanical ability. I will supply a link to the installation instructions below. If the installation is something you do not feel comfortable doing yourself, any trusted mechanic should be able to install it for you. The hitch itself is rated for 3500 lbs towing and 350 lbs of tongue weight (downward force) but the vehicle might have a lower capacity. In my research, I saw figures ranging from 1500 to 3300 lbs listed... view full answer...
The laws concerning flat towing a vehicle behind an RV vary by State and Province and can change without notice so I recommend checking with the highway patrol in the areas where you intend to travel to find out what is legally required. We have two options in Blue Ox base plates for the 2003 Grand Vitara, part # BX3516 which has removable arms (recommended) and fixed-arm kit # BX3515.
In general, the items needed to flat tow a vehicle include a tow bar, a wiring/lighting kit, safety cables,... view full answer...
We can help you locate all of the parts you'll need to flat tow your 2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara but you will want to confirm that your vehicle has the transfer switch for the AWD, as those are the the only models that can be flat towed. There is additional information in the vehicle owner's manual that gives specific instructions for flat towing your vehicle that should be followed. A complete flat towing setup consists of base plates, a compatible tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring,... view full answer...
According to my Hollywood Racks representative, their # HRSR1 is a confirmed fit, but you'd want to remove the spare tire cover first. Their # HRSR2 Spare Tire mounted bike rack isn't a confirmed fit for your Grand Vitara. The # HRSR1 is the lowest cost alternative, but I personally don't care for the fact that the rack attaches to the spare tire using straps.
Thule has confirmed that their Spare Time, part # TH963PRO is a fit. Yakima also confirms that their SpareTime, part # Y02599 is... view full answer...
Yes, I checked with Thule and the Spare Me part # TH963PRO that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara so it would work well for you. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.

It sounds like you are using Roadmaster base plates # 1011-5 or # 1011-3. If you are using the MX base plates, # 1011-5 then they are not compatible with the the Stowmaster tow bar.
But XL base plates # 1011-3 are compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars including the StowMaster Car-Mounted Tow Bar with Lunette Ring, # RM-581. view full answer...
The Roadmaster Falcon tow bar 5250 is the older version, which has since been replaced by the Falcon 2 # RM-520. This tow bar is compatible with both the Roadmaster XL base plates # 1011-3 and the MX base plates # 1011-5 and can handle the Grand Vitara's curb weight of approximately 3200-lbs.

In my research, I found that you are correct that your 2016 Thor Hurricane was built on a Ford F-53 Chassis.
The brake controller adapter needed is # 3035-P, which will be compatible with time-delayed and proportional brake controllers:
Proportional brake controllers:
Tekonsha P2 (# 90885)
Tekonsha P3 (# 90195)
Tekonsha Primus IQ (# TK90160)

There have not been any major changes to the Stay-In-Play system since 2016, so I believe it certainly would be worthwhile (and a $$$ saver) to remove the major parts from the now-wrecked car. Provided you can get that done for a reasonable cost. There is a Re-Install Kit # SM6270 that is made specifically for this purpose. This will include all of the components you need to transfer your system to a new vehicle, including a new breakaway kit.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12002 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. This is a Class II trailer hitch that will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a 3,500 pound towing capacity. I also recommend checking the towing capacity of your vehicle as listed in the owner's manual. I have attached the installation details for your review.
Please note that Curt requires all non-trailer loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers to be supported... view full answer...
According to our friends at Roadmaster, the Sterling All-Terrain Tow Bar is compatible with all Roadmaster base plate models, including the XL style # 1011-1 base plate used by your 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara. In other words, they are indeed compatible.
You will also need to wire your Grand Vitara for towing. The easiest method would be to use the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Kit, part # RM-155. The bulb and socket kit is very easy to install and will allow the lighting used for towing to... view full answer...
Curt trailer hitch # C13517 is a custom fit part which is why there aren't any dimensions listed for it. It is designed to fit a 1999 to 2005 Suzuki Grand Vitara, among other vehicles, so dimensionally it is the correct size for your vehicle.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch... view full answer...
Sounds like you are looking for a way to flat tow your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. You would need a base plate kit for that since there is no way I can recommend you flat tow your vehicle using the pull rings on the front of your car. For that you would need the part # 1018-1.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For... view full answer...
For your 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara we have the Malone Runway 3 bike rack part # MPG2142 as a confirmed fit that would work great. It is a 3 bike and you specified a 2 bike but using a 3 bike rack to carry 2 bikes gives you a little more room to work with and makes loading/unloading bikes easier. There isn't a 2 bike option that fits. view full answer...
The receiver tube on Curt Trailer Hitch, # C13001, will be under the rear fascia (bumper) when installed on your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara, so it will not interference with the license plate. I have included a link to the installation details for reference.
To complete your towing set up, the recommended ball mount is # C45010, and the recommended pin and clip is # PC3. You can use ball # 19260 (1-7/8 inch diameter), # 19247 (2 inch diameter), or # 63847 (2-5/16 inch diameter). For trailer... view full answer...
For your 2016 Winnebago Micro Minnie Travel Trailer, I recommend the Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13703. This Class III hitch is specifically designed for use on trailers like yours and will install on frame widths of 22 inches to 72 inches. As long as the frame width on your Micro Minnie falls within this range, this will work perfectly to secure a hitch-mounted bike rack or other accessory.
