Expert Answers about Suzuki Grand Vitara


  • What Hitch will Fit 2006-2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • Part # 75118 will not fit your 2006-2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara. I would recommend the Curt Class III Receiver Hitch, part # C13001. If you needing a wiring harness for trailer lighting, we offer the Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 56002. I will provide links to the install instructions for both the hitch and the wiring harness.

  • Recommended Hitch and Extended Ball Mount for a 2013 Suzui Grand Vitara
  • To add a hitch to your 2013 Suzui Grand Vitara you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13001. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Suzuki with included hardware. It looks like the hitch doesn't extend more than a couple of inches from your bumper and well underneath the spare tire. You will want to use the Curt Ball Mount item # D-4 which measures 10-1/4" long. This will give you clearance from your spare tire and allow you to hook up your cargo trailer. You will also need...

  • Will the Hollywood Racks SR2 Spare Tire Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The Hollywood Racks SR2, # HRSR2, is designed to fit on vehicles with a rear mounted spare up to 12 inches wide as long as the vehicle does not have a center mounted back up camera on the spare. There are some vehicles this carrier will not fit but your Grand Vitara is not excluded which means it should fit just fine as long as you have the factory spare tire size and no back up camera. I have linked a video review of this rack for you. We do have a few other spare tire mount bike racks...

  • Does The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75448 Use all Mounting Holes 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara?
  • Yes, both of the mounting holes on the passenger side of the frame are used for the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75448. You will need to remove your tow hook for the installation of your receiver. Your 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara should have weld nuts inside these holes as well as the 2 mounting holes on the drivers side. I have linked the installation instructions below as well so you can see the installation process.

  • Dolly Towing 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara Rear-Wheel-Drive
  • I reviewed an online edition of the owner's manual for the 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara and on page 8-11 Suzuki indicates that the 2WD with automatic transmission can be dolly towed with the rear wheels on the dolly and the front wheels on the ground, and the key in the ACC position. Such an item is Roadmaster # RM-2050-1. I strongly recommend checking your own printed manual in case it differs from this online copy.

  • 2012 Grand Vitara License Plate Holder with rear mounted spare
  • According to Curt, the fascia mounted license plate holder of your 2012 Grand Vitara will not interfere with the installation of the # C13001 Class III receiver. Fascia trimming is only required on Grand Vitara models that have the spare tire under the vehicle, not on the rear hatch. If you were planning on using the hitch for towing purposes, you might need the following to complete your towing system: Ball Mount, part # D-4 Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3 Trailer Wiring Harness, part # 56002 2...

  • How To Attach Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar to Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit
  • The Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar will work with both the direct connect and crossbar style base plate kits from Roadmaster. If you have the direct connect then you'd simply remove the crossbar and attach direct to the ears. If you have the crossbar style then you'd use the included crossbar with quick-disconnects. If you don't have the crossbar you can obtain this using the Replacement Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly part # 910021-00. The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kits like part # 521020-1B...

  • Is the Rhino Rack Steel Mesh Cargo Tray Compatible with Thule Bars and Fairing
  • You should have no problem installing the Rhino-Rack Steel Mesh, Roof Mounted Cargo Tray # RPBS-S280 on your Thule square cross bars that have a Thule 38 inch Fairing # TH72WV installed on them. The fairing should not give the rack an uneven look as the clips of the fairing are pretty thick. However, what you could do is install a couple Replacement Load Bar Clip for Thule Roof Rack Fairings # 8537361 on the rear cross bar as well so that the # RPBS-S280 would sit as level as possible...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch # C13001 Fit a 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The short answer is that the manufacturers usually will know and we update our fit guide as information comes in. For the 2013 Suzuki Grand Vitara (not XL7), I found that Curt does list trailer hitch # C13001 as a fit so you can use it on your 2013. It gets a little more tricky with adding wiring to a vehicle. None of the manufacturers currently list a compatible trailer wiring harness for the 2013. In these cases we recommend checking a dealership to determine if they have a wiring option...

  • Can the Bike Wheels Be Removed Before Loading Bikes on Hollywood Racks Spare Tire Mount Bike Rack
  • You can take the wheels off of your bikes if you want to and then load the bike frames on a bike rack such as # HRSR1 on your 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara. It is likely not necessary on regular bikes though (but would be on a tandem) because the bikes won't stick out further than the mirrors.

  • Are Extra Diodes Required for Installing Custom Wiring Harness on a 2009 Grand Vitara
  • The TrailerMate custom wiring is set up as a combined wiring system, so it will use the main red lights on your vehicle for both brake lights and turn signals. You could think of this as being comparable to hard wiring with 4 diodes. This kit would allow you to have turn signals while towing the vehicle, but it will not use the separate turn signal bulb. The turn signals would work normally when you are not towing the 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara. If you do want the separate turn signal...

  • Recommended Hitch Mount Bike Rack for 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • For a 2 bike carrier to fit the rear of your 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara I recommend the Swagman Titan 2 Bike Rack for 1-1/4 inch and 2 inch Hitches, Tilting # S63400. This bike rack offers 11-1/4 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the foot of the carrier, and has 14-1/2 inches of clearance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar. This rack features anti-sway cradles to help prevent bike-to-bike contact during travel. Also included with...

  • 2-Inch Class III Hitch Compatibility on 2006 and 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • I compared all trailer hitches offered for the 2010 and 2006 model years of the Suzuki Grand Vitara to see if they are common fits. That will tell us if the two vehicles' frame mounting hole pattern is the same. Both vehicles' hitch fits are shown on the two linked pages included for you. The same four hitches, such as Draw-Tite 2-inch Class III hitch # 75448 and Curt hitch # C13001, all fit on both model years. If you intend to move the hitch from one vehicle to the other you will need...

  • Will Swagman 2 Bike Carrier, # S64650, Fit On 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara With Spare Tire On Rear Door
  • The Swagman 2-Bike Rack, # S64650, has a measurement of 10-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the bike rack which is the wheel mount. You will need to measure on your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara to see if the bike rack will clear your spare tire. If you take a yardstick and hold it against the spare tire, straight up and down, and take the measurement from the center of your hitch pin hole on your hitch to the yardstick. If that measurement is less than...

  • Installation and Capacity of Draw-Tite Class III Receiver Part # 41537 for 2001 Susuki Grand Vitara
  • The Draw-Tite Class III Receiver can be installed by anyone with average mechanical ability. I will supply a link to the installation instructions below. If the installation is something you do not feel comfortable doing yourself, any trusted mechanic should be able to install it for you. The hitch itself is rated for 3500 lbs towing and 350 lbs of tongue weight (downward force) but the vehicle might have a lower capacity. In my research, I saw figures ranging from 1500 to 3300 lbs listed...

  • Which Brake Controller Adapter Fits the 2016 Thor Hurricane Motorhome Built on a Ford F-53 Chassis?
  • We can help you with that! In my research, I found that you are correct that your 2016 Thor Hurricane was built on a Ford F-53 Chassis. The brake controller adapter needed is # 3035-P, which will be compatible with time-delayed and proportional brake controllers: Proportional brake controllers: Tekonsha P2 (# 90885) Tekonsha P3 (# 90195) Tekonsha Primus IQ (# TK90160) Tekonsha Voyager (# 39510) Time Delayed: Tekonsha PowerTrac (# 39523) I'd recommend going with a proportional...

  • How Do I Measure My RV Toilet Rough-In On My 2010 Coachland Freelander?
  • So when it comes to measuring your rough-in for your toilet, you'll want to measure straight from the center of the flange on the floor to the wall. If that measurement is less than 11", the Dometic 320 Full-Timer RV Toilet - Standard Height # DOM87FR will not fit. If you do have an 8" rough-in, unfortunately the closest toilet we carry is the Dometic 300 Weekender RV Toilet - Standard Height # DOM74FR which has an 8-1/2" rough-in.

  • How to Determine if the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR will fit a 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • To determine if the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR would fit your 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara you would need to just take one measurement. You would need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear bumper. If that distance is less than 13-1/2 inches the bike rack would fit and clear the spare. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
