Expert Answers about Fiat


  • Capacity of Trailer Hitch for 2017 Fiat 500L
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11364 has a 2,000 lb towing capacity and a 200 lb tongue weight capacity although your 2017 Fiat 500L may have a lower rated capacity so you will need to check your owner's manual to determine what the capacity of your vehicle is and go by the lowest-rated component. If your trailer and mobility scooter fall under the weights of the hitch or vehicle it will be safe to tow. As for installation expense, that can vary widely but a certified mechanic should...

  • Why Does Tow Bar Need To Be Level When Flat Towing a Vehicle
  • If a tow bar isn't sitting with the accepted level range you will have a few issues. You will wear out the front suspension of the towed vehicle and you will wear out the front tires of the vehicle being towed. Also, tow bars eventually will wear out over time. If you have an out of level setup the bar will wear out quicker too. I attached a help article that covers how to pick out an adapter that will allow the trailer to be towed level.

  • Why Curt Does Hitch for 2016 Fiat 500x Have Different Capacity than Vehicle
  • With any towing setup you are limited by the lowest rated component as the overall towing capacity. In your situation you'd be limited by the vehicle at 2,400 lbs. Draw Tite designed and tested the part # C13271 that you referenced and found that it had a capacity of 3,500 lbs total trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. That is just for the hitch by itself. Now Fiat came up with their own towing capacity for your vehicle that happens to be lower than the hitch.

  • Can Trailer Hitch be Installed on 2014 Fiat 500 with Spare Tire Option
  • If your 2014 Fiat 500 has the spare tire option you will only need to temporarily lower the tire to install Curt trailer hitch # C11363, which you referenced. If you plan on doing some towing, you will also need a ball mount, hitch ball, and wiring. For a ball mount # 3593 you can use the 1-7/8 inch diameter ball # 19256 or the 2 inch diameter ball # 19258. For trailer wiring, use # 118546.

  • What is Speed Rating for Reese Tow Bar # 63180
  • Tow Ready states that the speed rating for the Tow Ready tow bar part # 63180 is 45 mph. If you go faster than that the inertia of the vehicle can compromise the tow bar in the event of an emergency stop or turn. Since most modern vehicles don't have a flat, metal front bumper like what this requires it's not an ideal solution for most applications. The Roadmaster Stowmaster part # RM-501 is somewhat similar and does not have the same speed rating. It will require you to install a Roadmaster...

  • Can a Mobility Chair be Hauled With a 2015 Fiat 500 Using the Curt # C11363 Trailer Hitch
  • Even though the Tongue Weight (TW) rating of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11363 for your 2015 Fiat 500 is 200 lbs, I have my doubts as to whether the TW rating for your Fiat is that high. You will want to call your local dealer to check. Aside from that, if the weight of your mobility chair is 250 lbs then it is already exceeding the max TW capacity for the trailer hitch receiver and should not be used. Typically, in this situation we like to steer...

  • Is the Buyers Products Utility Storage Box Sturdy Enough To Sit On
  • The lid for the Buyers Products Utility Storage Box part # 3371712240 does not have a listed weight capacity as this is just not something the manufacturer testes for. The storage box is indeed durable but whether or not one could sit on this would all really depend on the weight of the individual but this is not something I can exactly advise on.

  • Can a Yakima Trunk Mount Bike Rack Hold a Single 50 Pound Bike on a 2016 Fiat 500X
  • The Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638 has a single bike capacity of 35 pounds even though the rack has a total capacity of 90 pounds. This means if you put one bike on the rack it cannot weigh more than 35 pounds. There are no trunk mount bike racks that are rated high enough for a single 50 pound bike. Your only option for a bike that heavy is to install a trailer hitch, # C13271, on your 2016 Fiat 500X and use a hitch mounted bike rack rated high enough for the 50 pound bike. I recommend...
