Can the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack Carry an E-Bike or is a Different Rack Needed
It sounds like you are asking if the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack # C18085 can hold an e-bike. The answer is most likely a no, but it depends on your e-bike. The Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack # C18085 can hold 2 bikes, weighing up to 45 lbs. per bike. If your e-bike is under 45 lbs., then you can use this rack. But, the majority of the e-bikes on the market weigh more than 45 lbs. For a 2-bike rack that also fits a 1-1/4" hitch or 2" hitch and tilts like the Curt you were looking at, but also...

What Solution Do You Have to Transport 1 SUP and 3 Kayaks On a Hyundai Kona?
I have an option for you. For the combination of watersport accessories you want to transport, a roof rack solution is not possible. While the Hyundai Kona's owner manual does not recommend to use the vehicle for towing, the only option for two sit-in kayaks, one above-sit kayak, and a paddle board is the Malone MicroSport Trailer with Post Style Carriers # MAL24ZR. The MicroSport trailer will take away the headache of how to position/stack the paddleboard and kayaks on a roof rack system....

Is There a Way to Flat Tow a 2020 Chevy Trax
While the 2020 Chevy Trax can't be towed with all four wheels on the ground the front wheel drive models can be towed on a dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS part # DM9713045. What's great about the dolly's is that there isn't extensive install time for all of the flat towing components and it very easily can transfer to future vehicles.

Roof Cargo Bag, Trailer Hitch, and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2015 Chevy Trax
By XL cargo bag I believe you are talking about Rightline bag # RL100S30. This bag will fit on vehicles with or without a roof rack (side rails or crossbars). The bag is 48 inches long and 40 inches wide so compare that to the available space on your 2015 Chevy Trax. You don't want the bag hanging over the sides of the vehicle roof! If the roof rack on your Trax is just the side rails and there is no gap beneath them to attach a strap then I recommend adding the car clips # RL100600 to...

If you use a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch with a hitch like the Curt hitch part # C11527 you'd cut the capacity by 50 percent. Your best option would be the ball mount that fits the hitch directly with part # 36061.

Bike Rack Option for Limited Ground Clearance
Sounds like you are asking about how much ground clearance is acceptable for bikes on a bike rack. There isn't a specific number that always works since there are many different factors that will affect what is going to work like the hilliness of the roads and the distance from the rear axle of the vehicle to the hitch of the vehicle. If you have limited ground clearance I would go with a platform bike rack that has a rise in the shank for a couple reasons. They typically will drag the...

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Trax
The Curt hitch part # C11427 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Chevy Trax and would be a great hitch to use. This hitch has a 2,000 lb total trailer weight rating but you would need to consult the owner's manual to determine the capacity of your vehicle as it is equipped. I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground...

Recommended Bike Rack for a 2014 Chevy Trax
I recommend going with the Swagman Semi 2.0 # S64686 for your 2014 Chevrolet Trax. This bike rack is packed with features.

It also comes with bike and bike rack locks to secure your gear and deter theft. This rack can also...

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Trax for Carrying Bike Rack
For your 2019 Chevy Trax the Curt hitch part # C11527 is the best option and only hitch that we have. It is a class I hitch with a tongue weight of 200 pounds and can carry up to 2 bikes.

Recommended Wiring Harness For 2015 Chevrolet Trax
We have one trailer wiring harness available that is confirmed as a fit for the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part # 118659. You can access the wiring connections you need for the installation of the harness in the rear cargo area of your Trax behind access panels. You will then need to run the black power wire to the front of the vehicle and attach it to the positive post on the battery using the included in-line fuse.

Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Chevy Trax
The wiring harness for your 2015 Chevy Trax is # 118659. None of the other wiring harnesses have been confirmed to fit the 2015. For a trailer hitch I recommend Hidden Hitch model # 90244.

If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack,...

2016 Chevy Trax Roof Rack Recommendation to Carry Thule Sidekick Cargo Box
Sounds like you have the factory raised side rails on your 2016 Chevy Trax. If so, you would want the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 to allow you to carry the Thule Sidekick part # TH78GC. Raised roof rails are ones that you could slide your hand underneath.

Troubleshooting Trailer Tail Lights Always On with Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness
There are a few possible reasons why the trailer lights are on all the time on your trailer. The first possibility is that your trailer lights are LED. LED lights take significantly less power so it is possible to see a dim glow even when the vehicle is off. You can simply disconnect the trailer wire from your vehicle to put a stop to this. If they are fully illuminated that may be a different problem. According to Curt, a malfunction in the converter on the # C43FR wiring harness would...

The 2019 Chevy Trax is rated for towing and we do have the Curt hitch part # C11527 that fits this vehicle that has a 2,000 lb towing capacity which would be more than enough for a log splitter.
