  • Why Does Roadmaster Base Plate for 2012 Fiat 500 Fit All Submodels but Blue Ox Does Not
  • Roadmaster was able to come up with an efficient design for their base plate kit part # 522013-1A which allows it to fit the various models while Blue Ox took a more "expensive" option and decided to come up with different fits for each version.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Platform Bike Rack for a 2013 Fiat 500
  • Thanks for your recent purchase of the Curt trailer hitch receiver # C11363 which has a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds.

The Swagman platform bike racks you referenced # S64650 and # S64670 will work with the Curt trailer hitch receiver # C11363 on your 2013 Fiat 500.

  • Best Way to Transport Bikes with a 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth
  • For a hitch for the 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth you would want the Curt hitch # C11347. This is a Class I trailer hitch rated for up to 2 bikes at most. For a 2-bike, Class I hitch compatible rack I recommend the Thule T2 Pro XTR, # TH23JV. This platform style rack holds the bikes at the wheels so it will not touch the frame of the road bikes. It does come with some locks but has space for some additional locks. To use all of the possible locking features you would need to add a 6-pack of...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Fiat 500 Turbo

If you are looking to transport bikes the most popular bike rack we offer is the Swagman XTC-2 part # S64670. Check out the review video I attached. The Curt hitch requires the stabilizer strap # 18050 when carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier. The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so...

  • Although there isn't a plug and play option for your 2013 Fiat 500, we do have some wiring options that aren't difficult to install. The most popular option is the # RM-15267 diode kit from Roadmaster. I've linked to an install video that you might find helpful. In addition, you'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter. One of the provided links shows what we recommend for the Fiat 500. The Hopkins # HM56115 is for...

  • Recommended Base Plates For 2012 FIAT 500C Pop And Complete System
  • For your 2012 FIAT 500C Pop, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 522013-1A which is a confirmed fit. The brackets on this baseplate system are easy to install and remove with a simple twist to lock or unlock them. I recommend mountiing these baseplates using Loctite Threadlocker # LT37420.

  • Steering Stabilizer for 1998 Gulf Stream Palm-Breeze on Ford F53 Chassis with V10
  • We do not carry any engine components but we do have chassis components. It appears that you may be seeking a steering stabilizer by the question as we have the # RM-RBK4-RSSA fit guided only for the Class A with V8. I reached out to the manufacturer and the same stabilizer will be used for the V10 # RM-RSSA but the V10 will alternatively use the bracket kit # RM-RBK22.

  • Trunk Mounted Roof Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Fiat 500 with Spoiler
  • The Thule OutWay # TH45JV that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2013 Fiat 500 that has a spoiler. However, that being said I like to recommend the Hollywood Racks Over the Top # HRF2 for vehicles with spoilers as it is designed to fit over the spoiler and not put pressure on it. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube...

  • Wiring Kit to Flat Tow a 2012 Fiat 500 Sport Behind a 2010 Newmar Baystar
  • There are a few options for wiring your 2012 Fiat 500 Sport to flat tow behind the motor home. First, if you will not be towing the vehicle very often, I recommend a magnetic kit, # RM-2120. The next two options are more permanent for frequent flat towing. The first option is a diode kit, # 154-792-118158. The Fiat does have a separate system (turn signal independent of brake lights) so extra diodes are needed which are included with the kit. With this system, you will need to splice into...

  • Flat Tow Set-Up For 2015 Fiat 500

  • Solera Awning Plain Drive Head Front and Rear Cover Replacement Recommendation
  • Lippert makes a lot of products that are for OEM applications that aren't marked the same as their aftermarket products. So the front and back covers you need are the part # LC289561 and # LC289560.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 1-1/4 inch Hitch
  • The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy to use, and because the rack has an angled shank that would raise the bike rack up by three inches providing additional ground clearance. Because of that, this is the rack I'd recommend for you. This rack will add about 19-1/2 inches to the rear of your vehicle. The rack includes an anti-rattle hitch bolt, but a combination anti-rattle hitch lock/cable lock is available separately as part # S64031.

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2012 Fiat 500 Abarth
  • The Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3 only fits the Pop trim versions of the 2012 Fiat 500 and not the Abarth. Instead your best option would be to go with a hitch mounted bike rack after installing the Curt Hitch part # C11347 which is a confirmed fit for the Abarth models. For a bike rack I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and only weighs 35 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike...

  • Recommended Bike Rack To Fit a 2012 Fiat 500C Convertible
  • For your 2012 Fiat 500c, which is the convertible model, I would recommend to use a hitch and a hitch bike rack. A trunk bike rack will not be able to be used on the convertible model. The hitch I would recommend would be the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11363. This hitch will bolt-on to the rear of your vehicle. I am including a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video of the hitch being installed on a Fiat 500. You will be limited to hauling 2 bikes on...
