The tow bar I recommend for the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1987 on a 2009 Smart Fortwo is the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar part # BX7380 which fits a tab spacing of 16-36". This will work great with your 17" tab spacing on the Fortwo.
The Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar part # BX4330 isn't compatible due to the narrow tab spacing. view full answer...
Yes! The SeaSucker Mini Bomber 2 # 298-BM2006 will work with your 2016 Smart Car. The glass is okay to use to suck the carrier in place! I've included a video of a Tesla Model 3 which has a glass roof as well. view full answer...

There is a hitch that fits your 2014 Electric fortwo, the Curt # C11020 which is a 1-1/4 inch hitch that is bolted on so you can avoid drilling. I've added a link to a video review of this hitch being installed on a fortwo for you to take a look at. Please keep in mind this hitch is going to require the use of stabilizing straps # 18050 with all non-trailer accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers in order to maintain the warranty. I've added a link to a demonstration video which... view full answer...
We do offer a hitch that is designed to fit your 2014 Smart fortwo.
The hitch we offer is the Curt Round Tube Receiver, part # C11020. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
The ball mount I recommend is part # C45014. This ball mount has a 5 inch rise which helps with ground clearance.
For light towing I recommend a 2 inch hitch ball like part # C40018. If you need a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # A-80.

No, Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1987 is just the base plate. You would need to purchase a Blue Ox compatible tow bar in order to complete the physical connection between the towed vehicle and motorhome. One of my favorites is the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to arms so you don't have to purchase them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground. There's also a bar mounted to one of the arms that... view full answer...
The pictures on Curt trailer hitch # C11020 that you see are on a 2013 Smart fortwo so there are some differences in appearance between it and a 2015 model. But the hitch still fits the 2015 models as well so no worries! The only exclusions are for the Brabus models. There are no hitches for the Barbus models. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
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... view full answer...
Yes, the Lippert Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade part # LC1565401 is designed specifically for triple axle trailers so it will work great on a Grand Design Momentum 398M. view full answer...
I spoke with Roadmaster and confirmed the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System part # RM-8700 is not a fit for a Smart fortwo due to limited mounting locations. Instead, I recommend the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System part # SM99251 for hydraulic brakes or the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System part # SM99243 for air brakes. They will also require the Brake Pedal Adapter part # SM99602. The main unit for either of these systems mounts in... view full answer...
I just spoke to my rep at Curt to confirm and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C11020 will fit the 2008 Smart ForTwo Cabriolet convertible model. The hitch receiver will hang below the center exhaust and cause no interference.
You will want to use the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap for Hitch-Mounted Accessories item # 18050 to secure any accessories you would mount to the hitch receiver. view full answer...
Curt trailer hitch # C11020 does not fit the Brabus models of the 2009 Smart fortwo. There are no other hitches but if you need to carry cargo or bikes there is a roof rack option.
The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B is the correct fit for your car. It utilizes vacuum cups that are rated for 210 lbs pull strength each to secure the rack and your cargo to your roof.

If you are certain that your Smart fortwo is a 2015 model year, then the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, Class I # C11020 is the only receiver hitch available for your vehicle.
This trailer hitch has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening with a max towing capacity of 2,000lbs with a max tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. I have linked an installation video of this hitch on a 2013 fortwo for you to review.

To convert the 1-1/4" receiver opening on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11020 for your 2008 Smart fortwo to a 2" receiver you can use the Trailer Hitch Adapter # e93YR.
With that being said, any adapter will reduce the weight rating of your hitch by 50% so if you were to use this it would reduce the tongue weight of the hitch to 100 lbs. Not only that, but since your Smart car has a really short wheelbase the further back you place weight the more impact it will have to the performance... view full answer...

The only compatible baseplate kit for a 2015 Smart Fortwo is the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52285-1 which would also be compatible with the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e44ZR that you referenced. I do want to note that this will not be compatible with electric drive models.
To transfer your braking and turn signals through the vehicle you'll need the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7.

According to my contact at Curt, the # 11020 Class I receiver will fit all models of the 2012 Smart ForTwo, except for the Brabus version.
Other than drilling one mounting hole on each side, enlarging holes with a dremel-type tool, and modifying a hole in the serpentine belt cover, there are no other modifications necessary like trimming the bumper fascia.
Per Curt warranty requirements, using a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 is required for non trailer loads like bike racks or cargo... view full answer...

If you already have the StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 then you will need the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-52300-4 to flat tow your 2016 Smart fortwo. This base plate kit will not fit electric models. You also need safety cables like part # RM-643 for flat towing.
A complete flat towing setup includes a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. For wiring I recommend the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267.... view full answer...
