Expert Answers about Chevrolet Equinox


  • Trailer Hitch Fit Recommendation for 2020 Chevy Equinox
  • We do indeed have trailer hitches available for the 2020 Chevy Equinox. If your Equinox is not a Diesel model, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch part # C77FR. If it IS a Diesel, you'd want to use the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 76217. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # 118759 if your vehicle is a Premier model, # 118750 if it isn't a Premier, and if it has the factory tow package, you'd use # C94FR which includes the relays needed...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2021 Chevy Equinox
  • To add trailer wiring for your 2021 Chevy Equinox you'd want to start with the Tekonsha part # 118759 which provides the 4-way that covers the taillight circuits. Then you'll need to convert it to a 7-way since you want ability to charge a battery. For that you'd need the part # ETBC7L which comes with a 7-way adapter and everything needed to activate that circuit.

  • Is There a 1-1/4" Hitch for a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox
  • There is a 1-1/4" Class II receiver that fits on the 2020 Chevy Equinox with the Draw-Tite # 36642. This hitch has the 1-1/4 receiver that you're looking for. If you're going to be towing anything with your Equinox you may need a few other items to complete your towing setup. If you don't already have a wiring harness for a 4 way trailer connection, you'll want to use the Tekonsha T-one # 118750 (for models excluding the Premier), which tees into your vehicle's electrical system with...

  • Availability of Multipurpose Ball Mount for a 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • When you get to the small 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers there tends to be more restrictions on what they can accomplish due to their lighter weight capacities. Unfortunately there are no multi-purpose, or special ball mounts that can be used with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. You will only be able to use the regular ball mounts. Keep in mind that when choosing the correct ball mount for towing you will want to take your trailer and tow vehicle to a level area and measure from the ground...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for Carrying a Fat Bike and a Standard Frame Bike
  • The great thing about the fat bike racks is that they also work with standard tire bikes as well. A great example of this is the Thule T2 Pro XTR part # TH83JV which we have tested fat bikes and standard tire bikes on and it worked flawlessly. As long as your tires are 5" wide or less, this rack is your best option.

  • Correct brake/tail light kit for an 2020 Equinox Premier with LED lights and using a Nighthawk towba
  • The # RM-15267 is what Roadmaster recommends for a 2020 Chevy Equinox Premier. Unfortunately, Roadmaster doesn't offer a diode kit for your Equinox that doesn't include the cord. However, since the cords can get damaged by road debris, having a spare isn't the worst idea in the world.

  • Availability of 2-Inch Class III Hitch for 2013 Chevrolet Equinox
  • Your bike rack requires a 2-inch rear-mounted hitch receiver for installation on any vehicle and we do offer the correct hitch for your 2013 Chevrolet Equinox. The best option is the etrailer 2-inch Class III hitch # e98865 because it is both the lower-priced choice and offers a great weight capacity than the alternative product, Curt hitch # 13591.

  • Curt 4-Way to 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat for 2016 Chevrolet Equinox
  • I recommend the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672, 4-Way to 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat. What I like about this is that it provides you the needed 7 way but extends out the existing 4 way making both available. Please note that while this will allow the 7 way to plug into vehicle it will still only support the lighting functions of the 4 way. If you want full functionality of the 7 way you will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 as well. Please...

  • Brake Light Indicator For Demco Stay-IN-Play Braking System Inside Motorhome
  • You will want to use the Demco SBS Wireless Coachlink # SM99945 with the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 to receive notifications inside your motorhome. The LED light that comes with the Stay-IN-Play is only for wiring inside the vehicle being flat towed. Since the Coachlink is wireless you will not have to do any wiring inside your motorhome.

  • How to Carry E-Bikes with 2019 Chevy Equinox
  • Unfortunately there are no suspension enhancements available for the 2019 Chevy Equinox that would help combat rear end sag on your vehicle while carrying these heavy bikes. I would also add that using a hitch extender like the # HE06 often times reduces the tongue weight capacity of your vehicle by 50%, so you'll want to make sure that you're not overloading the vehicle's capacity when carrying these bikes. It might be worth looking at removing the batteries of the bikes and storing...

  • Largest Cargo Bag that Will Fit on Roof of 2010 Chevrolet Traverse
  • Fabric cargo bags such as the 18-cubic-foot Rightline # RL100S30 that you referenced offer the advantage (over metal baskets and plastic cargo boxes) of having a flexible nature. Their soft construction means that they can adapt to the shape of your loaded cargo and to a degree to the vehicle on which they are installed. Unlike cargo baskets and boxes, some soft cargo bags can be installed on a bare roof that has no hardware (no side rails and/or no crossbars) and this can make them a cost-effective...

  • Will Aftermarket Hitch for 2020 Chevy Equinox Fit Behind rear Bumper Cutout
  • All of the aftermarket hitches that fit your 2022 Chevy Equinox Premier will sit below the rear bumper fascia and aren't designed to be hidden behind that rear panel - for that exact setup you'll need to have an OEM hitch installed. If the receiver being behind that panel isn't a deal breaker then I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e59ZR because it has a matte black finish that not only blends in better with your vehicle trim but it does a better job holding up...

  • Availability of Blind Spot Mirrors For a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox
  • I have many blind spot mirrors available for your 2011 Chevrolet Equinox. The blind spot mirrors are universal and can be attached by one of three ways, clamp-on, clip-on, and stick-on. Most of the blind spot mirrors are a convex shape that will help eliminate any blind spots on your factory mirror. You will want to choose the correct mirror by the size that will fit the mirrors on your vehicle now. I am including a link to a page of the blind spot mirrors I have available. I do not...

  • 7' x 15' Light Weight Tarp With Grommets
  • I have a solution for you, but 7 x 15 is not a common sized tarp from what I was able to determine. I recommend using the Erickson Brown/Green Reversible Tarp # EM57033 . This tarp has grommets every 3' along the edges as well as on the corners and measures 12' wide x 16' long. This tarp is made from a 10x10 nylon weave which will provide a lightweight and easy to fold design that makes it easy to fold and store when not in use.

  • Solution for 5-Way Vehicle to 7-Way Trailer Wiring Adapter
  • Since nobody makes a 5-way vehicle to 7-way trailer adapter you will have to put a custom one together. You could use the # A10-7084VP for the 7-way and then connect the # HM47910 on the other end. Since you won't be using the blue brake output wire or the black 12V power wire you can simply tape them off. However, you will still need to attach the ground wire. That means this is going to be more of a permanent installation, not exactly your traditional plug and play adapter. It is for...

  • Is there a Backup-Alert Reverse Light for Bulb Type 921 for the 2013 Chevrolet Equinox
  • Your 2013 Chevrolet Equinox uses a type 921 backup light bulb. The Hopkins product you reviewed, part # HM20101VA, is a replacement for the type 3156 bulb. My contact at Hopkins advises that they do not offer an audible alarm replacement bulb for the 921 type. I also checked with two other suppliers of aftermarket lighting products, Putco and Optronics, and neither of these suppliers offers a 921 replacement bulb with alarm. However, we do offer the Custer Surface Mount Back-up Alarm,...
