Both will fit the RS package without issue so you're all set! view full answer...
The Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # 523173-4 that fits your 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is fully compatible with their Stowmaster # RM-501 and all other Roadmaster tow bars.
Flat towing a vehicle requires a number of components in addition to the base plates and tow bar. You also need for safe and legal flat towing safety cables like # RM-643, a lighting kit like # RM-2120, a braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR and often a high/low hitch adapter to keep the tow bar level.

To flat tow your 2016 Chevrolet Sonic you're going to need several items. For starters, I recommend the Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar # RM-576 which connects to your RV by your trailer hitch receiver. It's non-binding, making it easier to connect to your Sonic and the Alpha comes with safety cables.
Next you'll need the Roadmaster base plate kit # RM-523173-5 which is compatible with your Sonic. It's fairly easy to install, with no welding and is barely noticeable when the arms are... view full answer...
If you have the Yakima FrontLoader bike rack, # Y02103, it will fit crossbars that are up to 4 inches wide. I found plenty of reference to the roof rack you mentioned but not what the bar width and height are which is the information needed to know if the feet of the rack will fit the bars.
The center to center distance between the roof rack bars will need to be between 16 to 48 inches. I have linked a video review of this rack for you. If you have a different rack or the bars are too... view full answer...
I checked with the manufacturer and the Saris Solo 1-Bike Carrier # SA102 will absolutely fit your 2013 Chevy Sonic hatchback perfectly!
You will not need anything else to install the rack, though with any hanging bike rack, if your bike is dual-suspension or has a step-through frame you'll need Saris Bike Beam Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # SA3040 because it will give those bikes a horizontal mounting point so they can be carried by the rack.

The Roadmaster the Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, # RM-155, is a universal wiring kit and will work on your 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. We have not had a chance to install this kit in a Sonic yet, but I can give you some measurements to help you determine if you would like to install this kit.
The bulbs used in this kit are the standard # 1157 bulb which measures 1.83 inches tall and .97 inches wide. The socket that goes into the lens measures .95 inches. The instructions show to drill a... view full answer...
I may have an option for you but the Dual-Hitch Adapter # RM-077-4 is the largest drop we have in a dual.
An option is to add a hitch receiver to your toad and carry the bike rack on it if everything is compatible. It all depends on how many bikes you're trying to carry and if you already have a bike rack you're trying to use. view full answer...
The online owner's manual for the 2017 Chevrolet Sonic RS indicates on page 278 that this specific version of the vehicle cannot be flat towed with all wheels down. Here is the language from the manual:
"If the vehicle is towed with all four wheels on the ground, the drivetrain components could be damaged. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Do not tow the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground. The vehicle was not designed to be towed with all four wheels on... view full answer...
I assume by Commander you're referring to the Demco Commander Tow Bar # DM9511012. To connect to this tow bar you would need the etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit # e98963.
You'll also need a tow bar wiring kit like the Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM38FR or part # RM26FR if you have incandescent lights.
Since you'll have to remove DLIS FUSE 1 in order to flat tow the Sonic I recommend installing the Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse... view full answer...
I recommend going with the BOLT Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock 1/2" # BL7023627 and 5/8" # BL7023582. You will be able to key these to the same key as your 2020 Chevrolet Sonic. That means you have one less key to keep tack of and worry about loosing. view full answer...
According to the owner's manual for your 2014 Chevrolet Sonic, tire chains cannot be used on this vehicle due to limited clearance between the wheels and vehicle's body. However with that being said, we certainly understand certain states and conditions require the use of them therefore the choice will be ultimately up to you.
Although tire chains are not recommended for use on your vehicle, other traction devices such as snow socks can be used and for a set that will fit your 195/65-16... view full answer...
Unfortunately, we do not have an average install time for the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118640 which is a fit for your 2015 Chevrolet Sonic Sedan. However, we do have an install video on a similar version which you can then use to gauge how long the install will take you. I have also attached the printed instructions for you as well. The process is not difficult but it will take a bit of time out of your day. The amount of time will vary depending on skill level which is why it... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24878 is a fit for your 2019 Chevy Sonic Hatchback. As of right now (April 2023) the parent company of Draw-Tite was bought out so a lot of their products are in a kind of "limbo" state as everything is reassessed before they start moving forward again - so if you're needing a hitch sooner rather than later, the Curt alternative, part # C11464, is what you'll need to go with.
The good news is a few years ago Curt decided to start removing... view full answer...
This has come up before and our contacts at Draw-Tite have said that trailer hitch # 24878 will fit your 2017 Chevy Sonic LT RS model.
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 is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. I have linked the Class I compatible 2-bike racks and cargo carriers for you. view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24878 is designed around the OEM exhaust of a 2019 Chevy Sonic Hatchback. If you have an aftermarket exhaust you'll likely need to lower a hanger to adjust it a little more so it doesn't make contact with the hitch.
Attached is an installation video and a photo of the exhaust with the hitch installed for you to reference. view full answer...
Yes, Curt trailer hitch # C11240 will fit your 2014 Chevy Sonic sedan. I have linked a video to the right showing installation of the trailer hitch for you.
If you plan on using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier please make sure that the accessory is rated for a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with bike racks or cargo carriers Curt requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050 when using those items or any non-trailer load in the hitch.

I checked with Draw-Tite and they do list trailer hitch # 24878 as a fit for all models of the 2013 Chevy Sonic hatchback so that would include an RS. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.
If you plan on doing some light towing first consult your owners manual. For a ball mount use # 3590. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # 118640. view full answer...
The best Thule cargo box for a 2014 Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback will be the Thule Pulse Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH614 as this will provide the most amount of cargo space while still allowing for full access to the hatch and without too much overhang. I have attached a review video of this fit as well. If you don't already have a roof rack, the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack part # RR32QR would be a great option.
The Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH629807 will likely be a bit too large. view full answer...
