The Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack Platform Style for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches # S64650 is typically a one person installation, but it depends on your personal restrictions. If you can lift your bike, then you likely will be able to install the rack. The rack weighs 25 lbs and is fairly balanced side to side but not front to back. I've attached a video of the installation to assist. view full answer...
For your 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser, I recommend starting with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11132 for your custom fit. Then I recommend the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitch - 2-1/8" Rise, 2-3/4" Drop - 6-5/8" Long - 2K # 3593 along with the 2 inch hitch ball # 19258.
For your wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C55532.
With your towing capacity it is rare that you'd need to have a... view full answer...
For your Class I Hitch Receiver # C11132, I do have a multi-ball option for you. To go with the ball mount # 3593, I recommend the Convert-A-Ball Interchangeable Ball Set - 1-7/8", 2" Balls - 3/4" XL Shank - Nickel # 800B. This allows you to simply replace the ball with the larger or smaller diameter ball and everything else remains in place. You won't need the largest size hitch ball as your vehicle can't tow anything that would require the 2-5/16 inch ball and there isn't one available... view full answer...
The tow hooks are bolted to the frame using the locations that the hitch will use. We have an installation video of a similar hitch, from Hidden Hitch, being installed on a 2006 PT Cruiser. It is a similar installation, there is a portion about drilling that would not apply to the Curt model.
The installer points out the tow hooks and shows how to remove them. He also shows how to lower the exhaust. Make sure to follow the Curt instructions for the C11132 hitch, but you can watch the video... view full answer...
Since you already have the Blue Ox tow bar you'll need the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1968 which is a confirmed fit for your 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed... view full answer...
We do have several trailer hitches designed to fit the 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser, including the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11132, that you have referenced. I have included a link to the available option below as well as a link to the installation instructions for the Curt hitch.
The available trailer hitches for the 1998 Dodge/Plymouth Neon will not fit the 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser. The trailer hitches for the Neon were designed to fit its unique frame which differs from the PT Cruiser. The... view full answer...
I am not sure what you mean by system rating but the Curt trailer hitch # C11132 is rated for 200 pounds tongue weight and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for its towing capacities. Always go by the lower rating. The hitch meets Regulation V-5 and SAE J684 regulations.
If you plan on towing with this hitch the correct ball mount to use is # C45520 with pin and clip #... view full answer...
It looks like on a 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser convertible, you will have to place the hook on the strap # 18050 in the gap between the body of the car and top of the trunk. You may have to open the trunk to get the hook in place and then close the trunk.
There is no specific place on any vehicle that the strap has to go so long as it is secure. Ideally, you will want it straight across from or slightly higher than where it is connected to the bike rack. This is not always possible though.... view full answer...
You are correct that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11132 does require the use of Stabilizing Support Strap # 18050 when using it with accessories like a bike rack on your 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser. view full answer...
There is a single option to use a hitch adapter and extender that will work with the Class I, 1-1/4" Curt Trailer Hitch # C11132 that fits your 2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser, the the Brophy Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter - 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch # HTAD. view full answer...
We do indeed offer two sizes of replacement end caps for Yakima round crossbars.
We offer the smaller diameter # Y80159 that you referenced, and the larger diameter also in a set of four pieces as part # Y8007026. These larger diameter end caps fit all round Yakima crossbars except for the 86-inch size. This larger end cap is also offered in single units as part # Y8790009.
To give you some advance assurance that these larger caps will fit your crossbars I have pulled a set of part #... view full answer...
The towing capacity of a vehicle is more than just horsepower and torque unfortunately. It's also based on the transmission, cooling system, brakes, and chassis strength. This is why for your 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser there are only Class I hitches available like the Curt # C11132. Unless the trailer and car are less than 2,000 lbs this wouldn't work. view full answer...
If your RV has hydraulic brakes only then # RM-9160 will not work. Instead you will need Roadmaster BrakeMaster Braking System with BrakeAway for RVs with Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional Item # RM-9060. Or you could switch to a different braking system such as one of the portable models like the Even Brake # RM-9400. I have included a link to all of the portable systems for your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser. view full answer...
The only Roadmaster base plates available for the 2002 PT Cruiser are the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 278-1. They will work with the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar 5,000 lbs weight capacity, item # RM-020.
You will also need safety cables, # RM-643, and a lighting solution such as # C-ATL20A.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking on the vehicle being flat towed. One of the easiest systems to set up and use is the Even Brake proportional system # RM-9400. It will... view full answer...
The rise is the distance from the top of the shank to the top of the ball platform, with the ball mount in the position (rise) it will be used in. I am including a link to a FAQ page that will describe how to measure and choose the correct ball mount.
The 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser uses a Class I 1-1/4 inch hitch. All Class I hitches have to use the ball mount that is recommended from the manufacturer.

We offer an adapter that allows a Duncan TowMatic II to connect to Roadmaster base plates. For that you would need the part # RM-038 so that you can connect to the Roadmaster # 278-1 which is confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser. view full answer...
I checked your order notes and you ordered a Sportrack roof rack part # SR1005 for your 2009 Chrysler PT Cruiser. The Thule carrier part # TH859XT has a 150 lb capacity and weighs 29 lbs. From the research I did it looks like the vehicle has a 165 lb weight capacity but you should still confirm this by checking the owners manual or with Chrysler.
For a Sportrack Cargo box that would fit your rack well the part # SR7018 would be a great option confirmed as a fit. It weighs 38 pounds. I... view full answer...
I would start by taking a look at the connector on the trailer as well as the connector on your 2010 Chrysler PT Cruiser. Check to make sure that it is free of dirt and corrosion and that the ground wires are securely grounded to a clean metal surface. In addition, each lamp/signal on the trailer will also need to be grounded as well. Typically the lamp/signal is grounded through the mounting bolts having direct contact with the trailer frame. You will want to make sure that this area is... view full answer...
I attached a link to the video you referenced that shows the Curt Wiring Harness part # C55532 being installed on a 2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser. The battery and intake design might be different on your vehicle from what you see in the video but the process will still be the same.
You will need to find the battery under your hood, find the positive battery post (should be marked with a plus sign or the word positive), and then attach the wire to this post through the fuse holder that is included.... view full answer...
