- Trailer Hitch Compatibility with 2015 Chevy Trax and Towing Component Fit
- For your 2015 Chevy Trax there is not a class III hitch receiver from any of our manufacturers. They do offer Class I Curt Class I - 1-1/4" # C11527. You can use this hitch with a hitch expander like # HTAD to make it compatible with 2 inch accessories like a bike rack. You will however lose 50% of the trailer hitch's rated tongue weight when using an expander like this so the max tongue weight would then be 100 lbs. I don't recommend using the expander for towing.
If you need trailer...

- 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...

view full answer... - 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. It comes with the proper ball mount.
For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258.
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,...

- The Lippert Components High-Speed Power Stabilizer Jack - Black Waterproof Switch Kit - 30" Lift # LC298707 you asked about does have a single motor, but it will allow for leveling on uneven ground as the arms work independently.

view full answer... - Can 2016 Chevy Trax Hatch be Opened with a Trunk Mount Bike Rack Installed
- Trunks/hatches cannot be opened with a trunk mount bike rack installed. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, the hinges on the trunk/hatch are not designed to support extra weight so it could fall unexpectedly.
And second the hooks of bike racks are meant to fit into gaps between the hatch and vehicle body when the hatch is closed. If you open the hatch on your 2016 Chevy Trax the dimensions of the gaps changes. This can cause the much thicker metal of the bike rack hooks to...
view full answer... - 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.

- Yes, the Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # Y02637 that you were looking at is confirmed to fit your 2019 Chevy Trax. This is a very easy-to-use carrier which allows you to simply load two bikes on the back of your SUV even if you don't have a trailer hitch receiver.
I recommend adding Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Cable, 9' Long # Y07233 and Lock Cores # Y07202 to keep your bikes locked to the carrier, along with security strap # Y02623 to lock the carrier to your trunk to deter...
view full answer... - Can a Roof Basket Be Mounted To the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar On a 2019 Chevrolet Trax
- The Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack part # JA7976 has two main parts; the crossbars and the feet. The crossbars are actually not arched but rather the feet so you will not have any issues attaching a roof basket. However, the usable crossbar space for the above system is limited so you will need to make sure the cargo basket you are using will accommodate this. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket part # RMCB which I confirmed with Rhino-Rack will work.
view full answer... - Class II Trailer Hitch Fit for 2016 Chevrolet Trax
- We do offer a Class I trailer hitch for your 2016 Chevrolet Trax. For a trailer hitch I recommend the Curt # C11527.

I have attached the installation instructions for this hitch, as well as an installation video on a similar vehicle, a Buick Enclave, for you.
Class I trailer hitches, like the # C115274, offer 1-1/4...

- After looking into this and doing some research. The Aluminum Spoke Wheel for Malone MicroSport and MicroSportXT Trailer # MPG469 is the correct wheel and tire for the Malone MicroSport XT trailer if it is still factory from Malone. The # MPG469 is the exact wheel/tire that Malone has available. This is only available as the wheel and tire set, we do not have just the wheel available from Malone. So if you were wanting to find a different tire, you'd have to get the wheel/tire set and remove...
view full answer... - Is CargoSmart Rooftop Cargo Bag a Good Choice to Attach to Roof Rack
- Thanks for the purchase of the bag, and for your Trax with a roof rack, the CargoSmart rooftop bag you mentioned would be a really good way to get a quite a bit of added space for storage:
- CargoSmart Soft-Sided Car Top Carrier # CS94FR
I really like this bag because it gives you a lot of added space - 15 cubic feet - but is also highly economical so for more infrequent use like with a move or maybe an occasional camping trip, the CargoSmart offers the best value. It will attach right...
view full answer... - Looking for a Roof Rack to Fit 2015 Chevrolet Trax
- At this time the only roof rack that I have to offer for your 2015 Chevrolet Trax is the Darby Turbo-Rack Universal Single-Bar Roof Rack, # DTA968. I have included a short video for you. Please keep in mind that this is for a single bar so you would need two for the standard set-up.
Unfortunately, a custom fit roof rack that would just clamp on is not available.

- The height from the ground to the inside top edge of the receiver tube opening of part # C11527 on a Chevrolet Trax is about 11 inches. I've linked a video of when we installed this hitch on a 2015 Chevrolet Trax that shows the measurement. If you are trying to find out the rise or drop of the ball mount you need, the next step is to measure from level ground to the bottom of the coupler of your trailer.
There is a recommended Class I ball mount for this hitch part # C45520. It looks like...

- 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.
