When flat towing a vehicle, there are 5 main components that are needed. Starting with base plates, the 2000 Grand Am will need Roadmaster Base Plates # 194-3. To install this you will need moderate mechanical skills and aptitude. It is hard to say exactly a numerical value for how difficult it would be to install this product, but I am confident that if you have access to basic tools you could accomplish this install. I am going to send you the installation instructions for this product... view full answer...
For your 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6 you would want Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118396. I attached installation instructions and an installation video for this product for you to check out also.
The Hopkins Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # HM41365 that you referenced is designed for the older generation style Montanas and would not work on your Montana SV6. view full answer...
2 inch hitches are only used on larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs that have higher towing capacities. For your 2003 Pontiac Vibe you would have to go with a 1-1/4 inch hitch like the part # 24812 and a bike rack compatible with a Class I hitch like this.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I... view full answer...
Since kayaks vary considerably in size and weight I suggest that to start you check your G6 owners manual or consult with your local dealership to verify the roof weight-bearing capability for your vehicle. It is quite possible that a given kayak, plus the weight of the kayak carrier and the roof rack you choose, could exceed a vehicles roof weight capacity. Once you have confirmed the G6 has the capacity you need for transporting your kayak then you can choose a rack and carrier.

Actually, all you will need to do is install a wiring harness, # C55355, on your 2004 Pontiac Montana. But if you wanted to use those factory wires, because you have separate wires for turn signals and brake lights, you would first need to install a converter.
The converter, # RM-732, takes the separate signals and combines them which is what a trailer uses. To wire it up your yellow wire will go to the yellow wire on the converter, green will go to green, white will go to white, and red... view full answer...
While we have a potential option for you, we only have hitch models that fit the Safari model of 1980 Pontiac Le Mans Wagon. If this is what you have, I confirmed with Curt that the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12005 fits perfectly. It comes with all hardware required for a drill-free installation that only takes about 50 minutes to install.
If you happen to have the base model 1980 Pontiac Le Mans Wagon, we unfortunately do not have a confirmed fitment for that... view full answer...
The Curt Class II 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C12225, would be a good option for your 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. This hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. Tongue weight capacity is the maximum amount of weight that can be safely suspended from a hitch and the use of a hitch adapter like # HTAD will reduce a vehicle's tongue weight capacity by 50 percent.
The only hitches that are available for the 2001 Grand Prix GT are Class II which has the 1-1/4 inch receiver.

We have a trunk-mounted bike rack for the 2007 Pontiac G6 Coupe with a spoiler.
It's the Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 Bike Carrier, part # HRF6-2. This works with most factory spoilers and has anti-sway cradles. The arms are adjustable and reduce the need for an adapter bar. It can support up to 2 bikes up to 35 pounds each.
I've linked to a video review of this rack below. view full answer...
When using a weight distribution system on a trailer the weight on the axles will stay the same. The tongue weight of the trailer will be distributed from being basically all on the rear axle of the tow vehicle to being also on the front axle of the tow vehicle.
Weight distribution systems are recommended when the trailer of the vehicle weighs more than 50 percent of the tow vehicle.
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of... view full answer...
For your 2009 Pontiac G6 the correct base plate kit is the part # 3165-1 and not the # 3136-1 that you referenced as that base plate is for Saturn Ions.
The final authority on what needs to be done to flat tow your vehicle is the owners manual. Without knowing more info on your vehicle the best I could find for your vehicle is that if it has an automatic or manual it is flat-towable as-is as long as you keep it under 65 mph. You need to verify this though with your owners manual.

As long as the spoiler was factory installed and not an aftermarket option on your 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, then you may want to take a look at the Thule Gateway 2 Bike Rack, # TH88VR. I can tell you that Thule does not test fit their bike racks of vehicles with spoilers, but they designed this bike rack to fit over most OEM spoilers.
If you were looking for a guaranteed fit, then the best option is to add a trailer hitch and use a hitch mounted bike rack. The advantages to using a hitch... view full answer...
The Curt Wiring Harness part # 55057 that you referenced is the correct wiring harness for your 2003 Pontiac Vibe. This unit should do very well to power and operate the taillights of a Yakima Rack and Roll trailer like part # Y08107.
The trailer will pull about 9 amps total, whereas the # 55057 is good for 6 amps per circuit. Which is more than enough. view full answer...
The Hollywood Rack Bike Rack part # HR200Z has a shank rise of 5 inches which means the curve you see in the shank (the portion that attaches to the trailer hitch and the rest of the rack), goes up a total of 5 inches for added ground clearance. See picture. view full answer...
A quick search online for a copy of the owners manual states that the 2001 Pontiac Sunfire can be flat towed without modification if you have a four-speed automatic or a five-speed manual transaxle. To flat tow a vehicle, you'll need a hitch on the motor home, a tow bar, a base plate kit installed on the tow vehicle, a tow bar wiring kit so that the taillights on the vehicle work along with those on the motor home, safety cables and a supplemental braking system.

If you are looking for a way to convert the round 6-way on your camper to a 4-way you would need a product like the Adapter 6-Pole Round to 4-Flat # 47305B.
The 6-way male end of this adapter will plug into the 6-way on your camper and will provide a 4-way connection on the opposite side of the connector.
The Wiring Harness part # 118391 that you referenced would not work for you as it is a wiring harness designed for Chevy Equinoxes. view full answer...
You can use the Demco base plates # DM9517188 for your 2009 Pontiac G6 GT. But first, you are going to want to consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if the vehicle can be flat towed and if there are any special requirements. From what I found if the vehicle has the 3.9 liter V6 motor it cannot be flat towed. But it is not clear if it can be dolly towed or not. You would need to talk to a GM tech at a dealership to determine if dolly towing is acceptable.
If you find that you can... view full answer...
I checked with Saris and the Bones 3 Carrier part # SA801BL has been confirmed as a fit for your 2010 Pontiac Vibe.
However, for a rack that would work better with the spoiler of your GT you would want the Hollywood Rack Over the Top part # HRF2. This rack is specifically designed to fit over spoilers like what you have.

The Draw-Tite trailer hitch that will fit your 2004 Pontiac Vibe is # 24812.
The T-one Flat Trailer Wiring for your vehicle is the Tow Ready # 118458.
If you need a ball, I recommend either the Tow Ready # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball.
I have attached brief installation videos as well as installation instructions for both products. The video is on a 2005 Vibe. view full answer...
There are indeed a few trailer hitches available that are confirmed to fit your 2008 Pontiac Vibe. Since you do not have the GT model, I recommend going with the Curt Class II Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C12234. This Class II hitch is custom-fit for your vehicle and will use existing holes in the Vibe's frame for a no-drill installation. It will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and has a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. It features a sleek, round tube design and has a gloss black... view full answer...
The most popular transmission cooler for your 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix is the Derale part # D13503 which also requires the fitting part # D13035. The best way to pick out a cooler is to go with the largest one that fits in front of your vehicle radiator.
