Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trax
- Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For 2016 Chevrolet Trax
- The information we get for vehicle towing capacity is done with research of the vehicle and the owner's manuals. For yoru 2016 Trax on page 229 of the owner's manual it states the vehicle is neither designed nor intended to tow a trailer. With that being said, many folks will tow with the vehicle anyway so we do have items like trailer hitches and wiring available. Trailer hitches can be installed so you can use them for items like cargo baskets, bike racks.

- The Curt Class I hitch that you'd looked at, part # C11527 can either be used for light duty towing or for carrying a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack or a cargo carrying tray, so this hitch is exactly what you'd need to carry a bike rack.

This bike rack is packed with features. It has the ability to tilt down for easy rear cargo area access as well as fold up for better rear clearance. The wheel style mount allows you to carry pretty much any bike frame style; even carbon fiber bikes! The only restriction is if the bike were to have a fender. It also comes with bike and bike rack locks to secure your gear and deter theft. This rack can also...

- I have an option for you. For the combination of watersport accessories you want to transport, a roof rack solution is not possible. While the Hyundai Kona's owner manual does not recommend to use the vehicle for towing, the only option for two sit-in kayaks, one above-sit kayak, and a paddle board is the Malone MicroSport Trailer with Post Style Carriers # MAL24ZR. The MicroSport trailer will take away the headache of how to position/stack the paddleboard and kayaks on a roof rack system....

- The Curt trailer wiring harness part # C59236 is a universal install trailer wiring kit which means it does not come with specific wiring instructions for your vehicle but it does come with instructions that are still helpful. Basically you'll need to test the wires that run to your vehicle taillights to determine their function and then wire them to the harness according to the instructions.

- We carry trunk style bike racks, hitches, and hitch mounted bike racks that will fit the 2015 Ford Escape. I am sure we can find a solution to your problem.
I could not find in the 2015 Ford Escape owner's manual where it states that you cannot use a trunk mounted bike rack. Now, one of the installation tips on our site does say that interference and/or damage may occur if equipped with automatic rear wipers. But with that said, I do not see why your bike rack will not work on your Escape.

- To carry y our son's mountain bike on your 2015 Chevrolet Trax there are a few racks that come to mind. The Thule Gateway Pro # TH88VR is a great option with its anti-sway cages and Hold Fast cradles. It also uses Thule's FitDial system to make it easier to install.
Another option is the Yakima FullBack 2 # Y02634. This rack only uses 4 straps to connect to your Trax which can be easier to install. It also has anti-sway cradles and secures the bike using ZipStrip straps that make loading...

- First of all, good choice on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11527. It's a confirmed fit
With the Curt installed on a 2015 Chevrolet Trax you will want room to clear the fascia. This is why of the three you mention I would pick the Curt # C18110. It has 3-3/4 inches of rise which you mentioned you like and there is 6-3/4 inches from the hitch pin hole to the beginning of the rise in the shank. And if you see how the hitch fits in the attached video your fascia curves upwards as...

- Reese actually has a very similar carrier to the # 63153 that fits the 1-1/4 inch hitch directly with the Reese part # 63155. This would be your best solution. Using a hitch adapter ends up cutting the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent and adds a lot of movement so it's not recommended.

view full answer... - Roof Cargo Bag, Trailer Hitch, and Cargo Carrier Recommendations for a 2015 Chevy Trax
- By XL cargo bag I believe you are talking about Rightline bag # RL100S30. This bag will fit on vehicles with or without a roof rack (side rails or crossbars). The bag is 48 inches long and 40 inches wide so compare that to the available space on your 2015 Chevy Trax. You don't want the bag hanging over the sides of the vehicle roof!
If the roof rack on your Trax is just the side rails and there is no gap beneath them to attach a strap then I recommend adding the car clips # RL100600 to...

- I checked with our manufacturers to confirm a fit for a trunk-mounted bike rack for your 2020 Chevy Trax with a spoiler, and the best 3-bike rack that fits your Trax is the Yakima FullBack:
- Yakima FullBack 3-Bike Rack # Y02633

We've found that our manufacturers will make hitches for vehicles as long as there's a demand for them which is why Draw Tite has the part # DT32GR as a confirmed fit for your vehicle. Some people may use the hitch for carrying a bike rack or they may ignore the towing...
view full answer... - 2016 Chevy Trax Roof Rack Recommendation to Carry Thule Sidekick Cargo Box
- Sounds like you have the factory raised side rails on your 2016 Chevy Trax. If so, you would want the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 and 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 to allow you to carry the Thule Sidekick part # TH78GC. Raised roof rails are ones that you could slide your hand underneath.
