Expert Answers about Chevrolet Impala


  • Can You Flat Tow A 2000 Chevrolet Impala
  • Great question. Per the 2000 Chevrolet Impala owners manual it states that Your vehicle can be towed with wheel lift or car carrier equipment. Don’t have your vehicle towed on the drive wheels, unless you must. If the vehicle must be towed on the drive wheels, do not tow the vehicle more than 500 cumulative miles (800 km) or exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). If these limitations must be exceeded, then the drive wheels have to be supported on a dolly. We don't offer a tow dolly with the lunette...

  • Does Hot Lead Have to be Run to Battery When Installing Wiring Harness
  • You should run the hot lead to the battery when installing a 4-way in your 2016 Chevy Impala, no matter which one it is: the Tekonsha # 118590, Curt # C56188 and Hopkins # HM11141434. I took a look at the instruction manual for each and they all specified running the hot lead to the battery in the engine compartment.

  • Proper Clearance for Derale Series 9000 Transmission Cooler Part # D13614 in 2010 Chevy Impala
  • The Derale Series 9000 Transmission cooler can mount either in font of or behind the radiator. The unit measures 11 inches in length, 11-3/8 tall (including mounting tabs) and 1-1/4 inches thick. As this is not a vehicle-specific product, you will have to examine and measure the areas in front of and behind your radiator to see if the proper clearance exists. The preferred mounting location would be in front of the radiator for maximum air flow. Installing the cooler behind the radiator...

  • 2-Bike Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack Fit on 2015 Chevy Impala
  • I checked with the manufacturers, and while there are no trunk-mounted bike racks that fit a 2019 Honda Clarity, there is a fantastic trunk-mounted rack that is a perfect fit for your 2015 Chevy Impala, the Yakima FullBack 2-Bike Rack # Y02634. This is the best trunk-mounted 2-bike rack for your Impala because of its anti-sway cradles which keep your bikes steady while on the move, as well as the rack's integrated security features which protect the investments you made in both your bike...

  • Best Way to Carry Bikes with a 2014 Chevrolet Impala LT
  • Yes, you are correct your 2014 Chevrolet Impala LT will need a Class II 1-1/4 trailer hitch such as the Draw-Tite Class II Hitch Receiver # 36538. I recommend the Draw-Tite over the Curt, because Curt requires the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap # 18050 to be used with any non-trailer loads. This is within the guidelines of their warranty. I included an installation video on a 2015 Impala which will be similar to yours. In order to carry your 2 inch bike rack with this hitch you will...

  • Will the Thule OutWay or Gateway Bike Racks Fit on a 2008 Chevrolet Impala with Factory Spoiler
  • You should have no problem using the OutWay, # TH56BV, or the Gateway, # TH78VR, bike racks on your 2008 Chevrolet Impala with factory spoiler. It can sometimes be difficult to determine if a trunk mounted bike rack will fit on a vehicle with a factory spoiler as manufacturers do not test fit their bike racks on vehicle with spoilers, however, we have tested the OutWay bike rack on an Impala with a factory spoiler here at our facility and it is a fit. Thule confirms the Gateway is a fit...

  • Compatibility of Hitch-Mount Platform Bike Rack S64670 with Recessed Hitch on 2006 Impala
  • I understand your concern about proper clearance between the bike rack and rear bumper on your 2006 Chevrolet Impala. That is why we provide a clearance measurement on all of our hitch racks that tells you the amount of space needed from the hitch pin hole (that's always the reference point) to the nearest part of the rack. In fact we have an article that illustrates this measurement and I have linked it for you just for reference. In the case of the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack...

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11433 Fit a 2004 Chevrolet Impala
  • I do have a solution for you, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11433 is not compatible with your 2004 Chevrolet Impala. For a similar trailer hitch you will want to go with the Draw-Tite part # 36407. This is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver opening. It is rated for 3,500 lbs Gross Towing Weight (GTW) and 300 lbs Tongue Weight (TW). You will want to check your owner's manual for any special instructions or weight restrictions as well. I attached an installation video and...

  • Options for Using 2-Inch Class III Bike Rack in 1-1/4-Inch Class II Hitch
  • A hitch adapter can allow a 2-inch accessory item like your Thule rack to be used in a 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch like Draw-Tite # 36538. But the downside to using any adapter is that it will cause you to lose 50-percent of your hitch's capacity. This is due to the change in the geometry of the system when an adapter is added. An adapter like Brophy # HT5R will fit your 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch and provide a 2-inch receiver opening as well as a 5-inch rise for better ground clearance....

  • How to Carry Bikes With 2011 Saab 9-5
  • You can carry bikes with your 2011 Saab 9-5 but unfortunately there are just no trailer hitches that fit this vehicle, and I did check with the hitch manufacturers just to make sure. So while it's not exactly what you are looking for, a trunk-mounted bike rack is the only option for this car to carry bikes, and the correct fit is the Thule Gateway Pro, which comes in either a 2-bike or 3-bike option: - 2-Bike: Thule Gateway Pro 2-Bike Rack # TH88VR - 3-Bike: Thule Gateway Pro 3-Bike Rack...

  • Will the SportRack Frontier Roof Rack Leak Once Installed on a 2010 Chevy Impala
  • As long as you install the SportRack Frontier Roof Rack # SR1010 properly you should not have any problems with the window seals on your 2010 Chevy Impala. It sounds like your Chevy Lumina was an older vehicle. In recent years they have really improved door seals compared to how they used to make them so you should not have a problem on your Impala.

This Class II receiver is rated for 300lbs of tongue weight and trailer load capacity of 3,500lbs. Be sure to not exceed the weight capacities given by Chevrolet for your Impala.

  • Recommended Wind Fairing For SportRack Square Bars
  • Since the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars - 44" Long # TH82WV measures 44" long and will be a tight fit, I recommend going with the AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars - 38" Long # TH72WV which measures 38" long in total and will fit between your crossbar's usable length of 41". This will simply strap onto your crossbars and will reduce wind noise and drag. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out.

  • Suspension Enhancements to Help with Towing on a 2013 Chevrolet Impala
  • I do have options that will help to distribute weight on your 2013 Chevrolet Impala while towing a trailer but the only trailer hitches they make for your vehicle are Class II with a 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver like part # 36407 or part # C12252. Unfortunately, neither of the above hitches are rated for use with a weight distribution system. You will also want to check your vehicle's owner's manual for towing capacities. To help distribute the weight of your trailer I recommend using...
