Expert Answers about Suzuki Grand Vitara


  • Roof Rack Recommendaton for 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • 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...

  • Recommendation For a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch On a 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch hitch, part 24764, you have referenced is only available in a 1-1/4 inch hitch size for your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara. For 2 inch size hitches for your vehicle I would have the CURT Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # C13001 and the Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Hitch, part # 75448. Both of these hitches have 2 inch receivers and are designed to fit your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara. You may also need the following items to complete your towing setup. Draw-Tite...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • For your Grand Vitara I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13001. This is a Class lll hitch and features a 2 inch receiver opening. I recommend the Class lll hitch because it offers much more versatility for any hitch accessories like bike racks, cargo carriers, etc. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in 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...

  • Low Profile Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The lowest profile roof rack we offer that has been confirmed to fit your 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara would be the Inno Square rack that consists of # INB117, # INXP and # INTR502. The Rola roof rack that you referenced has not been confirmed to fit your vehicle so I cannot recommend it for yours. The bar length wouldn't be right and the attachment mechanism hasn't been tested on your vehicle.

  • Trailer Hitch and Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • 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...

  • Will Adding a Trailer Hitch Void the Warranty on a 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • A lot of people find that if they want to add a trailer hitch, the dealer prices can be high. If you were to buy a hitch from etrailer and install it yourself or have it installed it would not void your vehicle warranty. Consumers of aftermarket products are protected by the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. The Act states that if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever modifications you have added to...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • We do have a base plate kit that fits your 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara but you'll have to remove the grille guard. Once removed you'd be able to install the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1011-1. 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 safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara Behind an RV
  • I checked a few resources and it appears that you can flat tow your 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara automatic 4x4 behind an RV. But you will want to check the vehicle owner's manual to confirm and for additional information on procedures. If you determine your model can be flat towed then you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use Roadmaster set # 1011-3. For a compatible tow bar you can use the popular Falcon 2 # RM-520....

  • Recommended Brake Controller And Trailer Wiring For 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The brake controller I recommend for your Grand Vitara is the P3, part # 90195. This is one of our most popular brake controllers because it is easy to install and operate. You will first need trailer wiring. The trailer wiring I recommend is part # 56002. This harness plugs into the vehicle wiring located in the rear cargo area on the driver and passenger side trim panels. You then need to install part # ETBC7. This plugs into the 4-way harness and with additional wiring will give...

  • Installation of SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System and Ease of Disconnect
  • 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...

  • Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer With a 2020 Hyundai Palisade
  • In order to tow a trailer with a 2020 Hyundai Palisade you will need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball at the very least though there may be other items as well depending on the exact trailer. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13427 because it has a hidden design which you can see in the attached photo and it is a bolt-on option with no cutting or drilling required. For a trailer wiring harness, I recommend the Curt...

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for a 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • There are many roof rack options that will attach to the factory flush rail of your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara, but the Rhino-Rack RVP part # RRRVP12 is designed to install on vehicles with raised side rails that run from front to back. I attached a page that has all of the roof rack options that will work on your vehicle with flush mount rails. For a rack that is similar to the one you referenced check out the Thule Aeroblade Rack that includes the following part numbers: # TH711200, TH460R,...

  • Replacement 11-Pin Wire Harness Repair Kit for a Fisher 7.5 Snow Plow
  • I do have an option for you but we do not offer the particular plug you are looking for nor am I aware of where it could be obtained. However, you can just use the Replacement Harness Repair Kit part # 3371304744 for the male side and the Replacement Harness Repair Kit part # 3371304745 for the female side. The extra pins could then just be left unhooked but this would work well as a replacement.

  • Weight Distribution System for Rockwood 2317G Pop-Up Towed by 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • As a first step, you will want to confirm that your Grand Vitara can handle towing the pop-up when it is fully loaded. I did some online research, and found that most sources list the towing capacity of that vehicle at 3,000 lbs. Though the hitch might have a 4000 GTW/ 400 TW capacity, you will still need to abide by the towing capacity of the vehicle. I would recommend checking your owners manual or with Suzuki to make sure. The dry weight of the Rockwood 2317G is about 2450 lbs, so you...

  • Flat-Towing Components For 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • I was unable to find the information about flat-towing your 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara, so you will need to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to see first if the vehicle can be towed and if there are restrictions when towing. On most vehicles that have 4wd and 2wd, there will be a switch in the vehicle that allows you to go from one to the other. This should be in the owner's manual as well. If you are unable to find that information I recommend contacting your dealership. If...

  • Will Higher Water Pressure of HydroMax Water Pump be Issue for RV Water Lines
  • Going with a higher pressure rated water pump like the HydroMax RV Fresh Water Pump part # P25201 that you referenced would not cause any issues with your water lines like you mentioned. They would not leak or blow out. You'd just have a little more water pressure than what you have now. 55 psi like what this produces is a very common pressure and would not be too much for your RV.

  • Availability of 6 inch Hitch Extender for Bike Rack
  • We have a 7 inch hitch extender part # HE06 that would fit what you are looking for, but you should note that when you use an extender like this you cut the capacity of the hitch it is installed in by 50 percent. I'd recommend using an anti-rattle hitch lock like part # 63232 with this as an anti-theft and also as a way to remove movement from the shank.

  • Recommendation For Wiring Harness And Brake Controller For 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • I am not sure what equipment you have for towing your small pop-up camper so I am going to give you everything to get you setup and ready to go. For a hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III, Item # 75448. It has a 2 inch opening with a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs and tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs. It also has an easy, bolt-on installation with the hardware included. You will also need hitch components for towing so I recommend something like the Etrailer.com Ball Mount Kit,...

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...
