  • How to Pick Out Ball Mount for 2015 Chevy Impala to Allow Trailer to be Towed Level
  • Sounds like you are in need of a ball mount that offers more rise than the part # C45017 that you are using on your 2015 Chevy Impala. In order to get the correct ball mount you are going to need to take two measurements. The distance from the top of your hitch opening to the ground and the distance from the bottom of the coupler lip on the trailer to the ground when it is sitting level. The difference between these two measurements is the rise/drop you need. I attached a help article...

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2010 Chevy Impala

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Trailer Wiring For 2017 Chevrolet Impala Premier
  • I recommend the Draw-Tite # 36538 trailer hitch for two reasons. First, the Curt hitch # C12115 requires trimming of the underbody trim panel. And second, the Curt hitch requires the use of a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 when using the hitch for any non-trailer items like bike racks and cargo carriers. Both trailer hitches are visible, but the Curt hitch may be a little less visible because of the underbody trimming. The # 36538 hitch requires no drilling for installation. This...

  • Recommended 12 Inch Vehicle Side 4-Way With Mount And Cover
  • Instead of cutting off your plug and splicing, I recommend using the Hopkins 4-Pole Loop - 12" Long # HM48145 along with some dielectric grease like the Loctite Bulb, Lamp, and Electrical Connection Dielectric Grease - 0.33-Oz Tube # LT37534 to keep water and debris out of your connections. For a mounting bracket, I recommend the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144 along with the No-Drill Mount Bracket, Short # 18140. For your dust cover, I recommend the Trailer Wiring 4 Pole Flat (Vehicle...

  • Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2012 Chevrolet Impala
  • There are only class II, 1-1/4" trailer hitch options for a 2012 Chevrolet Impala, the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36407 is what I recommend. Fortunately, if you're trying to use a 2" hitch accessory there is still an option. The Brophy Hitch Adapter part # HTAD or part # HT5R.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2014 Chevy Impala LTZ
  • The Draw-Tite # 36543 would be a fine choice that would work great for you, however I'd personally choose the Curt # C12115 because the hitch itself is manufactured in the USA and its one of the least expensive options. It also has a higher tongue weight capacity at 350 lbs versus 300 lbs for the Draw-Tite. For wiring, I'd personally choose the # 118590 and I'd go with the Curt # C45017, because it's manufactured domestically instead of overseas. You'll also need a # PC2 hitch...

  • Possible Hub Recommendation to Fit Mobile Home Axle with Bearings 25580 and 102949
  • There is a slight chance you have number 42 spindle dimensions on your mobile home axle. Measure the diameter of your spindle to get the exact dimensions of where the bearings and seals ride. If the bearing dimensions are 1.74 and 1.25 and the seal diameter is 2.24 then you are in luck. A hub like part # AKIHUB-865-7-1-K would fit. I attached a link to a page that has all the fits as well.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Impala with Spoiler
  • The Yakima Fullback 2 part # Y02634 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Chevy Impala and would be a great option we'd recommend highly. This rack also will easily fit over a vehicle's spoiler like what you have too due to the arced arms of the rack. Check out the review video I attached for this rack on a similar 2016 Impala as yours as well. If you plan on carrying any womens, childrens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes like you mentioned you may also be interested...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2005 Chevrolet Impala
  • I have another option for you but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13315 you were looking at is only confirmed to fit select Mazda CX-5's. There is not a class III hitch available for your 2005 Chevrolet Impala so I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # 36407. This hitch has a 300lb tongue weight rating and 3500lb trailer weight rating so it will be perfect for carrying a bike rack, cargo carrier, or even a ball...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Impala
  • If the wheelchair carrier is only 2 inches off the ground when it is loaded that would most likely indicate that the hitch setup has a pretty nasty downward bend or the suspension is completely maxed out. Suspension enhancement like the part # CSS-1125R (which is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Chevy Impala) will help with the suspension. But you really need to make sure that you aren't overloading the hitch. If you can send me a picture of the setup with it loaded that would help a lot...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2014 Chevrolet Impala LTZ
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C12115 is confirmed as a fit for your Impala. This is a Class ll hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Per Curt, all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. For that reason I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 36538. This is also a Class ll hitch and it does not...

  • Towing Capacity and Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Chevy Impala
  • From what I found online it looks like your 2017 Chevy Impala has a towing capacity of 1,000 lbs. If the weight of your trailer loaded is less than 1,000 lbs then yes you could tow it. For a hitch then we have the Draw Tite part # 36538 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and would work well. For a ball mount you'd then want the # 36061 which is the recommended ball mount by Draw Tite. For a hitch ball part # 19257. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118590...

  • Base Plates, Tow Bar, Safety Cables, and Wiring to Flat Tow a 2007 Chevy Impala LTZ
  • You will be able to flat tow your 2007 Chevy Impala LTZ using a tow bar. You will first need to install base plate kit # 523133-1 (only works on models with 3.5 liter motor). You will then need a tow bar compatible with EZ style base plates. I recommend the RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar, # RM-020. (To be able to remove the EZ base plate front extensions, you will need to use Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit, # RM-201.) Next, you will need safety chains, or cables, and a light kit...

  • Recommendation for Towing Mirrors for 2004 Chevrolet Impala
  • I recommend the CIPA Deluxe Door Mount Universal Towing Mirror # 11650. This towing mirror attaches to the bottom of your vehicle's front door and between the window and the car door as shown in the video I linked you to. As long as your vehicle doesn't have plastic body molding at the bottom of the door this towing mirror will work well with your Impala. The mirror's door mount provides stable mirrors with minimal vibration. The mirrors are sold individually, so if you wanted one mirror...

  • Best Trunk Mount Bike Racks for a 2003 Chevy Impala with Factory Spoiler
  • For vehicles with spoilers the best option is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top rack # HRF2 for 2 bikes or # HRF2-3 for 3 bikes. These racks have extra arm pieces to go up and over spoilers so the rack does not make contact with the spoiler. Please note the vehicle does NOT have to have a roof rack to use these racks. I have linked a video review for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I...

  • Will the Thule Passage 2 Bike Trunk Mounted Rack # TH910XT Fit on a 2008 Chevy Impala
  • Yes, the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier, # TH910XT, would be a good choice for your 2008 Chevy Impala. We have a video review of this rack to help you make your decision. The rack I would consider for your car would be the Thule OutWay Bike Carrier, # TH45JV, which I recently had a chance to install on a vehicle. This rack was the easiest to install and remove trunk mounted carrier, especially after the initial setup, that I have ever installed. If you will be carrying any bikes that do...

  • Recommended Hitch And Combination Transmission/Oil Cooler For 2009 Chevrolet Impala
  • For your 2008 Chevrolet Impala, I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 36407. This is a Class ll hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The drawbar I recommend for this hitch is part # 36061. This features a 3-1/8 inch rise, and uses a hitch ball with a 3/4 inch diameter shank. This includes the pin and clip. For a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball I recommend part # 19257, and for a 2 inch hitch ball I recommend part # 19258. Transmission and oil coolers are not vehicle specific....

  • Trailer Hitch for 2019 Chevy Impala and Recommended Ball Mount, Hitch Ball and Wiring
  • There is a trailer hitch for your 2019 Chevy Impala; I highly recommend the Curt # C12115 because it is a bolt-on installation that will not require drilling into your Impala's frame to install. This Class II, 1-1/4" trailer hitch has a black powder coat finish which helps protect it from corrosion and also has a 3,500 lb towing capacity and 350 lb tongue weight capacity, though I did check the owner's manual and it states the maximum weight your Impala can tow is 1,000 lbs so that is...

  • 2008 Chevy Impala Roof Rack Recommendation
  • So the Sportrack Semi-Custom roof rack part # SR1010 isn't a totally custom fit roof rack for any vehicle. Basically Sportrack made this rack to fit as many vehicles as possible which means it doesn't always fit every vehicle perfectly. For that reason I try not to recommend the Sportrack roof racks for anyone as they don't fit well a lot of the time. The most cost-effective custom roof rack we have for your 2008 Impala is the Rhino Rack part # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK187 which...
