We can get your 2012 Fiat 500C set up with baseplates for your Roadmaster Falcon 5250 tow bar, and I verified directly with Roadmaster that the correct fit for your Fiat is the following:

You mentioned other hardware, and while there isn't any other hardware needed for the base plates, I'll go ahead and list out the other parts you'll need to flat tow your Fiat 500C in case you need those parts.

I don't know what year Fiat 500 you are referring to but for a 2019 Fiat 500 the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2805 fits both the Pop and the Abarth models. view full answer...
Those are good questions and with a Class I trailer hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11363 that fits your 2015 Fiat 500 you do need to use a Class I compatible accessory like a cargo carrier. That means could use the Class II Reese cargo carrier you mentioned, but it wasn't designed for it. There is a very similar carrier which will work. Also, to answer your question about the weight of the hitch, it is about 25 lbs.
The Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 is compatible with a Class I hitch... view full answer...
The Blue Ox base plates between the 2013 and 2017 Fiat 500 models are the same as long as you have the same sub model for the vehicle. It looks like the mounting locations are the same for the products but the difference is where the tabs are located so that does make enough of a difference that you'll need a new base plate kit. If your 2013 is an Abarth then it will work for your 2017 Abarth. If they are different you'll need a new base plate kit.
I'll list out the different part numbers... view full answer...
To flat tow your 2013 Fiat 500 Sport it will need to have a manual transmission and you'll need the following components:
Baseplate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2800.
Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380. This tow bar also includes safety cables so you won't have to purchase them separately.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This diode kit will splice into your tail light wiring to display your motorhome's traffic... view full answer...
The Blue Ox Acclaim, part # BX4330, that you referenced in your question will fit Blue Ox removable-tab base plates that are spaced between 23 inches - 30 inches, so they Acclaim will not work for your application.
The Blue Ox Adventurer, part # BX7322, would be the appropriate tow bar that you will need to use instead. It is rated for 5,000 lbs just like the Acclaim, but it is compatible with Blue Ox base plate tabs that are spaced 16 inches - 34 inches. You will need to make sure that... view full answer...
Yes, the Hollywood Racks Bike Rack part # HR1450Z that you referenced would work with 24 inch wheels so it should work well for you. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11347 is a confirmed fit for a 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth with the factory muffler. I have attached a photo of said muffler installed on the vehicle that the trailer hitch is designed to work with. If you have an aftermarket muffler then the hitch may not fit properly. view full answer...

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The only available trailer hitch for a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11347 so that is what I must recommend. The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver will not fit Abarth models. For a bike rack, you will be limited to two bikes because of the hitch rating, the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack part # TH92BJ is a great option. view full answer...
Yes, if you had a Roadmaster base plate kit installed on your 2013 Fiat 500 like the part # 522013-1A the replacement crossbar part # 910021-00 would work with it. But you'd also need a tow bar that this crossbar would have originally came with like the Roadmaster Falcon 2 part # RM-520. Do you have a tow bar already? If so, which one do you have? view full answer...
Usually the only parts of a roof rack that will be transferable to a different vehicle are the towers and crossbars if they are the same length as what is required for the new vehicle. Depending on how old your Thule Roof Rack is it may not be possible to buy the correct parts.
I looked up your 2015 Fiat 500 and unfortunately there is no longer a fit kit that will allow you to install Thule crossbars on your vehicle.
Instead you will need to use a completely new roof rack system and I... view full answer...
Yes, you can connect the wiring from the controller that comes with the Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 to the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 you've installed on your 2014 Fiat 500. I don't have any specific routing instructions for the wiring other than you'll want to avoid any hot or moving parts, and there should be a grommet or something of the sort that allows you to pass the wiring through the floorboard or kick... view full answer...
The Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack part # TH45JV contains an updated cradling system with road dampening technology which as the name states reduced shocks and vibrations transferred to the bike while traveling down the road therefore is suited for use on bikes with a carbon fiber frame and there will be no issues with paint chipping. To be extra safe, I would suggest adding the Thule Carbon Bike Frame Protector # TH984101 for another layer of protection. In regards to weight, this is 33 lbs... view full answer...
That customer asked about the 2017 Fiat 500 FWD. Your 2016 Fiat A/T Gucci according to the owners manual will allow dolly towing with the front wheels off the ground according to the online owners manual on page 305 and page 306 states not to flat tow any vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission as damage to the drive train will result. A manual transmission vehicle can be flat towed with the transmission in neutral without damage based on the manufacturer design.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11363 will fit all 2017 Fiat 500 models excluding the Abarth so it is compatible with your Lounge. Please note that on page 246 of your owner's manual it states that your vehicle is not recommended to tow a trailer. You will want to check your owner's manual to see if this is the same case.
If in fact you can tow a trailer with your Fiat 500 you will also need wiring like the T-One # 118546 and a drawbar/hitch ball like parts # 3594 and # 19258. view full answer...
When it comes to the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118546, for your 2014 Fiat 500, I see the two reviews that you are speaking of so I made a call to my technical contact at Tow Ready to see if they have any reported problems. He said that he has no reports of the wiring harness being too short and with us only having the two, compared to the numerous amount that has been sold, I can only assume that the wiring in those cases weren't run in the most direct route.
As for a video, our... view full answer...
The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # 118546, that you mentioned, is designed for the 2012 - 2015 Fiat 500. The T-One connector plugs directly into your existing wiring and the powered ModuLite reduces strain on wiring system. With a ModuLite, power is drawn directly from the car's battery so there is virtually no draw on your taillight circuits so a standard lighting set-up would be just fine. LED lights would not be required. view full answer...
The SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - Folding - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B does simply use the vacuum cups as the sole securing factor. Each vacuum cup is rated for 210 lbs pull strength, so this system is claiming 1,200 lbs of pull strength and they have been tested with cargo at highway speeds without issue. The strength is really incredible...I've attached a video to assist.
For increased security and theft deterring, they recommend the window mounted cable anchor... view full answer...
Assuming that there is enough space on the roof of your 2016 Fiat 500 to mount the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B so that it does NOT rest on the sunroof then yes, you can use it.
Otherwise in order to carry cargo you would need to use a trailer hitch such as # C11363 if you do NOT have an Abarth model or # C11347 if you DO HAVE an Abarth model.
If you do go with a trailer hitch option and want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then... view full answer...
