Expert Answers about Chevrolet Volt


  • Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Volt
  • Since the 2012 Chevy Volt is not typically used as a tow vehicle there hasn't been much of a demand for a t-connector style trailer wiring harness. As of right now, and for the foreseeable future, the only wiring option you have would be a universal install harness like the part # C56496. For a hitch you would want part # C11221. Ball Mount part # C45521, 1-7/8 inch ball # A-80. Lastly, check your owners manual to see if there are any restrictions on towing with your vehicle.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy Volt to Carry Schwinn Windwood Cruisers
  • After looking up pictures of your bike you would definitely need to use an adapter bar to carry your bike on a hanging bike rack. The adapter we recommend the most is the Swagman part # 64005 because it is the easiest to use of the ones we carry. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out as well. The three bike trunk mounted bike rack I would recommend for you 2012 Chevy Volt that has been confirmed to fit your vehicle is the Thule OutWay part # TH56BV. What makes...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Volt
  • For your 2019 Chevy Volt I recommend the 2 inch EcoHitch part # 306-X7338 as it gives you the more popular 2 inch hitch size but also because it installs behind the rear license plate which gives you a concealed hitch that doesn't affect ground clearance either. If you were in need of trailer wiring as well we have the # 118726 which is custom fit for a very easy install and also has a very reliable converter box too so it will last you a long time.

  • Recommended Bike Rack For 2 E-bikes Compatible With 1-1/4 Inch Hitch Receiver
  • For your two e-bikes, I recommend the Thule EasyFold XT Bike Platform Rack # TH903202. This bike rack is made for carrying 2 electric bikes up to 65 lbs each. This rack has all the security features to secure your bikes to the rack and the rack to your hitch. This rack weighs just 40 lbs. This bike rack is compatible with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11436 which is confirmed to fit your 2017 Chevy Volt. This hitch requires a stabilizer strap # 18050....

  • Using Two Thule Hullavators on 2014 Chevy Volt with Inno Roof Rack
  • The minimum crossbar spread the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 can fit is 24 inch so if you have a 26 with an Inno rack installed that would work great. Since you already have the two Hullavators you may as well go that route. Especially since they are really nice and assisted. So for that you'd need the part numbers # INSUT, # INK624, and # INB147 and you'd be set.

  • Solution For Carrying 3 Bikes On The Back Of A 2012 Chevy Volt
  • I have a trunk-mount bike rack that will fit your 2012 Chevrolet Volt, but Thule Raceway PRO 2-Bike Rack TH9001PRO is a discontinued product. I highly recommend going with the Thule Gateway Pro 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount # TH78VR. This is a very nice adjustable bike rack that has an integrated cable lock to keep your bikes safe and secured to the rack. Soft foam pads surround the contact points so that your paint finish is always protected from getting scratched. If you plan on transporting...

  • Compatibility and Weight Capacity of O-Track Systems
  • We have previously tested the Erickson and Tow-Rax O-Track Systems and found them to be compatible with each other. I went out to our warehouse to test the Erickson Anchor Ring # EM59132 on the Buyers Product Super Track # 337ST93 and found it to be compatible as well. This means the O-Track components from all three of the manufacturers you mentioned are indeed interchangeable and will work well each other. The tie-down rings included with the Buyers Products Super Track Kit actually...

  • Recommended Tire Cables for 215/55-17 Size Tires on a 2014 Chevy Volt
  • Out of the cable chains that fit the 215/55-17 size tire on your 2014 Chevy Volt I recommend the Titan Chain part # TC335DC because it has a diagonal design which will give you better traction than a ladder version like part # PW1038. The recommended chains also include adjusters which ensure a snug fit. Attached is a review video for you to check out. Be sure to also look in your owner's manual for any specific instructions or restrictions about tire chains.

  • Where to Go For Finding Installer for 2019 Chevy Volt EcoHitch Trailer Hitch
  • For your 2019 Chevy Volt the 2 inch EcoHitch part # 306-X7338 is a really great option for a trailer hitch. The best way to find an installer is to look for a local garage to you with a good reputation and let them do the install. Hitch installs are very basic for mechanics based on the difficulty of most of what they do day to day so any qualified mechanic would have no problem at all with the install.

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Chevy Volt
  • A 2016 Chevy Volt; I always liked the Volt. I'm a little jealous! I can tell you now that none of the Thule trunk mount racks will fit the 2016 Chevy Volt. Thule does extensive testing so if they don't show a fit then their racks should not be used. But I have excellent news for you because there are some trunk mount racks that can be used with your Volt. And I will link the returns policy for you to view. Yakima lists the FullBack, # Y02634, as fits for your Volt. This rack is similar...

  • Will SeaSucker Monkey Bars Fit 2015 Chevy Volt and 2016 Ford Flex
  • One of the biggest benefits of the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B that you referenced is its versatility. Because of how it mounts to a naked roof this particular system will work great on both your 2015 Chevy Volt and 2016 Ford Flex. This will allow you to just have one roof rack system for both vehicles, one that is also much easier to both remove and install than traditional roof racks which makes it perfect for your application. The rack uses 6 vacuum cups to mount...

  • Roof Rack and 2 Kayak Carrier Fit Recommendation for 2015 Chevy Volt
  • The Rhino Rack part number # RR85MR is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Chevy Volt and would do well for carrying 2 kayaks. For a kayak carrier the part # S512 would then fit these bars and to expand it to a 2 kayak carrier the part # RRS512X would be all you need. You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle for the roof rack capacity and then be sure the weight of your kayaks do not exceed this figure.

  • Is There a Trailer Wiring Harness Option for a 2013 Chevy Volt
  • I do have an option for you though there are no confirmed trailer wiring harness options for a 2013 Chevrolet Volt as the vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer. That said, there are still universal trailer wiring harnesses that may work like the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT which will be your best shot.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2017 Chevy Volt
  • For your 2017 Chevy Volt I really like the Curt trailer hitch # C11436 for 2 reasons. First, it costs less. And second, it is a great brand of hitches. When you carry bikes or use a cargo carrier, on the Curt hitch you would have to use stabilization strap # 18050 per Curt's warranty requirements. This hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver opening and a 100 lb tongue weight capacity and 1000 towing capacity. I also really like the EcoHitch # 306-X7338. It has a 2" opening that allows you to...

  • Rhino Rack Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Chevy Volt
  • I have a roof rack solution I can provide, but I checked with Thule and they do not offer anything for your 2013 Chevy Volt surprisingly. The closest option that would fit is the Rhino Rack roof rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK316.

  • Alternative to Tire Chains for 2017 Chevrolet Volt
  • I have a solution for you, and I was able to check the owner's manual for the 2017 Chevy Volt and it does clearly say that you're not supposed to use tire chains because of clearance issues; so you're absolutely correct and this does put you in kind of a bind. Fortunately I have a great solution for you- the ISSE Hybrid Snow Socks # TCH66. Snow socks are a great alternative for vehicles that do not have adequate clearance in the wheel well to safely install tire chains and they provide...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Wiring For a 2018 Chevrolet Volt
  • I recommend installing the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7338 on your 2018 Chevrolet Volt. This 2" receiver hides behind your license plate and includes a fold up license plate bracket for easy access. Because it sits behind the license plate it does not hang down like the 1-1/4" Curt # C11436 which can drag on tall curbs or transitions you encounter. We have a link "Locate installers near me" below the photos and videos on our product pages which will allow you to search...

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Volt
  • Most of the time platform bike racks can be a bit heavy but we do have one great solution. The Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack # HLY94FR which only weighs 20 lbs, can carry up to 35 lbs per bike, and can also fit the Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches available for your 2017 Chevy Volt. The best hitch to use would be the Curt part # C11436.
