Expert Answers about Chevrolet Impala


  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Impala
  • We have hitches that fit your 2014 Chevy Impala like the Draw Tite Class II hitch part # 36543 which is what I recommend. It installs easily and also gives you a mostly hidden solution. This is a bolt on hitch that does not require any welding. For trailer wiring our most reliable option is the Tekonsha # 118590 which I recommend for you. For a ball mount the # 36061 is the required part number and then for a ball # 19257.

  • 2008 Chevy Impala Roof Rack Recommendation
  • So the Sportrack Semi-Custom roof rack part # SR1010 isn't a totally custom fit roof rack for any vehicle. Basically Sportrack made this rack to fit as many vehicles as possible which means it doesn't always fit every vehicle perfectly. For that reason I try not to recommend the Sportrack roof racks for anyone as they don't fit well a lot of the time. The most cost-effective custom roof rack we have for your 2008 Impala is the Rhino Rack part # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK187 which...

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2009 Chevy Impala
  • A transmission cooler will help prolong the life of any automatic transmission so installing one in your 2009 Chevy Impala would be a great choice. The Derale # D13502 would be a great choice that would work well. These kits are universal so while it may not have parts that are specific to your vehicle the install is basically the same for all vehicles. I attached an install video that shows a cooler installed on a similar Chevy as yours as well.

  • Curt Euro Ball Mount Recommendation with 1-7/8 inch Diameter Hitch Ball
  • Yes, Curt does have a Euro ball mount that has a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball. For that we have the part # C45571 which has a rise of 2-5/8 inches. Or for a rise of 3-1/8 inches you'd want the part # C45561.

  • E-Bike Rack Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Impala
  • Since the hitches that fit your 2015 Chevy Impala are 1-1/4 inch sized like the Curt # C12115 the best option for an e-bike rack would be the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202. This option would also work great for 2 inch hitches but overall this rack is very easy to use and load since it has a ramp built into it.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2014 Chevrolet Impala LTZ
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C12115 is confirmed as a fit for your Impala. This is a Class ll hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Per Curt, all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. For that reason I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 36538. This is also a Class ll hitch and it does not...

  • E-Track Spacing to Secure a 2007 Harley-Davidson Ultra Classic Electra Glide
  • I would space the E-tracks, such as # E19148, at about handlebar width or to go around crash bars if equipped (which generally are not wider than the handlebars). You will want the straps you use to be able to hold the bike at the handlebars without touching any other part of the bike. What I recommend is to mock it up ahead of time by parking the bike on the trailer where it will set and then place the bars on the floor and see if the chosen locations are going to work or if they need...

  • How Does Cruiser Accessories Ultimate Kit for Mounting License Plates CR81500 Install
  • The Cruiser Accessories Ultimate Kit for Mounting License Plates and License Plate Frames # CR81500 you referenced comes with more hardware than you'll need to install but that's because it fits a few different styles of plate brackets. So you'll need to remove the current hardware you have now that holds the plate on and then find the correct hardware/fasteners from this kit that will replace it properly.

  • Base Plates, Tow Bar, Safety Cables, and Wiring to Flat Tow a 2007 Chevy Impala LTZ
  • You will be able to flat tow your 2007 Chevy Impala LTZ using a tow bar. You will first need to install base plate kit # 523133-1 (only works on models with 3.5 liter motor). You will then need a tow bar compatible with EZ style base plates. I recommend the RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar, # RM-020. (To be able to remove the EZ base plate front extensions, you will need to use Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit, # RM-201.) Next, you will need safety chains, or cables, and a light kit...

  • Is Trailer Hitch For 2008 Chevrolet Impala Guaranteed To Fit
  • The trailer hitches we offer for your 2008 Impala are guaranteed to fit. These hitches are designed specifically to fit your car frame. The trailer hitch you came from is the Curt, part # C12252. This is a Class ll hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The other trailer hitch is the Draw-Tite, part # 36407. This is also a Class ll hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch because it does not require a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 for all non-trailer...

  • Recommendation for Backup Camera, Backup Alerts, and Blind Spot Monitoring
  • The Peak Performance Digital Wireless Backup Camera w/ Color LCD Monitor and Night Vision PKC0RB has been discontinued. It did not have backup or blind spot sensors and only had the parking guides. If you want to add the backup sensor system with audible alert, I recommend the Hopkins Backup Sensor System - Audible Alert - License Bracket Mount # HM60100VA. This audible warning system begins at 5-1/2 feet away and warning beeps increase in frequency as objects enter each of 3 alert...

  • Is Exhaust Modification Required to Install Draw Tite Trailer Hitch on a 2011 Chevy Impala
  • To install a trailer hitch like the Draw Tite hitch part # 36407 on your 2011 Chevy Impala you would need to temporarily lower the exhaust system so that you can install the hitch. It would get installed back in it's original location without any modification once the hitch is bolted in place. This is a very standard step for installing a trailer hitch. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • Bike Rack Options for a 2008 Chevrolet Impala LT
  • The Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier Trunk Mounted Bike Rack, part # TH911XT, that you referenced would work on your 2008 Impala for carrying your 2 or 3 aluminum bikes. I attached instructions for this rack below as well as a review video of this product. Since you are only carrying 2 bikes you could also use the 2 bike version, # TH910XT. Another option you have is to get a Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for the 2008 Impala by Chevrolet, part # 36407, and then use a Thule Camber Bike Carrier for...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy Impala
  • For a roof rack for your 2011 Chevy Impala with a naked roof the Rhino Rack Square Bar Roof Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK187 would be a great option and also has a great price. Then for a SUP carrier the Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier part # LR54FR would be a great option that can carry up to 2 boards. I wouldn't recommend leaving the board in it's bag though as it could whip around and damage itself or the board.

  • Recommended 12 Inch Vehicle Side 4-Way With Mount And Cover
  • Instead of cutting off your plug and splicing, I recommend using the Hopkins 4-Pole Loop - 12" Long # HM48145 along with some dielectric grease like the Loctite Bulb, Lamp, and Electrical Connection Dielectric Grease - 0.33-Oz Tube # LT37534 to keep water and debris out of your connections. For a mounting bracket, I recommend the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 along with the No-Drill Mount Bracket, Short # 18140. For your dust cover, I recommend the Trailer Wiring 4 Pole Flat (Vehicle...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2014 Chevrolet Impala LTZ2
  • We have several trailer hitches that are designed to fit your 2014 Chevrolet Impala LTZ. We have not had an opportunity to install a hitch on a 2014 Impala but we have installed some hitches on a 2014 Malibu. I will make my recommendations based on the Malibu. The hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 36543. This is a Class ll hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. As the attached installation video shows, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to...

  • Recommended Receiver Hitch, Drawbar and Wiring Harness for 2020 Chevrolet Impala
  • For your 2020 Chevrolet Impala I suggest the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C12115 simply for the slightly higher tongue weight rating of 350 lbs. over that of the 300 lb. TW of the Draw-Tite option, # 36538. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C12115 is a Class II, 1-1/4" hitch with maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs. and max TW of 350 lbs. It is a bolt-on installation with all hardware included. If the coupler on your utility trailer requires a 2" Ball, select the Curt Class...
