We have the A-frame tool box part # UWS01039 which would be tall enough for a propane tank that is 19 inches tall but the # 313-TM362016M would be just a little bit too short for that.
I attached a review video for more info on this for you to check out as well. view full answer...
In our install video for Curt Hitch # C11436 we do note that when installed on the 2017 Volt shown in the video the center of the hitch pin hole was 5-1/4-inches forward of the rear edge of the bumper cover. That video is linked for reference; please refer to the 2:18 mark.
The hitch pin hole is used as the referenced point since bike rack makers also use this point to express their racks' clearance requirement dimension. For instance, if your hitch bike rack's hitch pin hole were to be... view full answer...
I went out into our warehouse to grab a Trailer Hub part # AKIHUB-545-35-K that you referenced to measure it and found that it is 6-1/8 inches in overall diameter. view full answer...
The 100 lb maximum tongue weight on the # C11436 includes the weight of anything you add on. Assuming you added a carrier like the Curt 18153 you're referencing (which fits a 2" receiver) you would also need to account for the weight of the carrier. In this case, it weighs 70 lbs so you would only be able to add an additional 30 lbs to the carrier. You are always limited by the weakest component, which includes the towing/tongue weight capacity of your vehicle.
Since you can't even use... view full answer...
The problem with hitch extenders is that they reduce the capacity of the hitch they are installed on by 50 percent. The Draw-Tite part # 36538 that you referenced has a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs, so if you were to use an extender you would now be limited to 150 lbs of tongue weight.
When installed the hitch opening should be recessed behind your bumper about 4 inches, so most likely the carrier you have would not require more clearance, but you can measure it from the center of... view full answer...
The EcoHitch for your 2014 Chevy Volt that fits behind the rear license plate is only available in a 2 inch hitch size with part # 306-X7186. The 2 inch hitch size is the most popular size for accessories so you'd have more options with this. view full answer...
The tongue weight rating of the Curt Class I Hitch # C11221 is 100 lbs. This means the max weight of anything installed in the receiver opening is 100 lbs. For an example, with a hitch mounted bike rack, the total weight of the bike rack and the bikes cannot exceed 100 lbs.
Because of the light weight capacity of your hitch and car, I recommend a rack like the NEO2 # B01748. The BikeWing has a total weight of 15 lbs. This rack can carry two bikes with weight capacity of 40 lbs per bike.... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Class I hitch you referred to, part # 24755 has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity. This means that no more than 200 lbs can be safely suspended from the hitch, therefore the weight of your bikes and the bike rack you use can't exceed that weight limit.
The Thule Camber, part # TH9058 is an excellent choice. The rack can carry two bikes up to 35 lbs each, and tilts away from the vehicle to help allow access to the rear cargo area. An available hitch pin lock is available as... view full answer...
The support brackets that you mentioned that come out of the main center section of the carrier and then back around to the rails that hold the bike trays basically just provide more support. The length of the rails allows the weight of the rack to put a decent amount of leverage on the center of the bike rack so this bracing allows a bit more support and reduces the leverage the arms have over the rest of the rack.
The rails cannot fold up because of them. But they are needed to provide... view full answer...
The static capacity of the Thule # TH713700 79-inch ProBar Evo crossbars is 220 lbs. I called my Thule representative, who tells me that the bars don't carry a dynamic capacity and that the capacity maxes out at 220, regardless of whether the vehicle is moving or not. view full answer...
