Expert Answers about Chevrolet Impala


  • What is Needed to Tow a 2010 Chevrolet Impala LTZ
  • According to the online owner's manual for your 2010 Impala that I found on the Chevrolet website, your vehicle cannot be flat towed (please see page 5-25). Chevrolet indicates that the drivetrain components would be damaged. There is no indication from Chevrolet that installation of a lube pump will avoid this concern so until a qualified technician from Chevrolet can give you assurance that flat towing can be accomplished safely, I do not recommend anything except dolly towing. We offer...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Chevy Impala
  • A complete flat towing setup consists of base plates, tow bar, tow bar wiring, safety cables, supplemental braking and a high/low adapter (if needed). You will also want to check your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm that your 2007 Chevy Impala is safe to flat tow, as there are some models that can be damaged by doing this. For starters, tow bars are compatible with their baseplates only (without an adapter) so I recommend using the Blue Ox # BX1670, which are compatible with the Blue...

  • What Strap to Use when Hauling a Carrier with the Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2003 Chevy Impala
  • The Curt Class II Trailer hitch Receiver # C12252 that fits your 2003 Chevrolet Impala does require using a support strap like part # 18050 for all non-trailer loads just like you mentioned. Basically you just want to connect the hook to your trunk or one of the safety chain loops on the trailer hitch and then secure the other end to your carrier to help keep the carrier from moving. If you would like to avoid using the support strap then you can use the Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch...

  • Parts Needed for 2011 Chevrolet Impala to Allow Towing Power Chair on Utility Trailer
  • You are correct that the 1-1/4-inch Class II hitches made for your 2011 Chevrolet Impala have a tongue weight rating of 300-lbs. This means that you cannot transport a 445-lb powered wheelchair on any hitch-mount carrier, but you can use a small trailer. The hitch I recommend is Draw-Tite # 36407 that you referenced. It offers a no-drill installation and costs less than the same-capacity Curt model. An installation video is linked for you along with the written instructions. For a compatible...

  • Trailer Hitch and Towing Capacity of a 2008 Chevrolet Impala
  • From my research the 2008 Chevy Impala can tow up to a 1,000 pound trailer. You want the loaded trailer to stay under 1,000 pounds. As far as not scraping the ground I'm not sure what you're referring to but if the trailer is not overloaded and is loaded with the tongue weight between 10 and 15 percent of the trailer's weight then you shouldn't have any issues. You also want to make sure the trailer is level when towing. As for the hitch receiver I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36407. ...

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2019 Chevy Impala Require Support Strap for Bike Rack
  • Good question; the Curt Stabilizing Support Strap # 18050 is recommended by Curt, but is not required when using a bike rack on your 2019 Chevy Impala with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12115. It will not affect the warranty on the Curt hitch if you choose not to use the strap. There was a time when this was the case for the majority of Curt hitches, but that has changed so the straps are no longer required, just recommended. It never hurts to use a strap to optimize stability but...

  • Is There a Baseplate Kit That Fits A 2015 Chevrolet Impala?
  • I went ahead and checked the owner's manual for your 2015 Chevrolet Impala, and the owner's manual actually states that you are not supposed to flat tow this vehicle, so there is not going to be any compatible base plates. They actually explicitly recommend that your vehicle be transported via flat bed truck, or to be dolly towed with a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes # DM9713045. This tow dolly has a maximum vehicle weight rating of 4,800-lbs, measures...
