  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2002 Saturn SL2 Dual OHC Sedan
  • I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11298, for your 2002 Saturn SL2 Dual OHC Sedan. You will need to drill two holes in order to install this hitch onto your vehicle. I attached the installation instructions for this product for you to check out. As long as the trailer you plan to tow has a tongue capacity that is lower than 200 lbs and has an overall trailer weight that less than 2,000 lbs this hitch will work. When determining what the overall...

  • Looking for a Trunk Mount Bike Rack on a 2008 Saturn Vue
  • There are a couple different reasons why trunk mounted bike racks are not recommended for your 2008 Saturn Vue. Most second generation Saturn Vues (2008 to 2010) have a small plastic trim piece or a plastic spoiler at the top of the rear hatch. The upper straps of trunk mounted bike racks attach to the top edge of the rear hatch and this plastic trim piece or spoiler is not designed to support the weight of the bike rack and bikes. The plastic could deform or break from the pressure. Another...

  • Recommended 50 amp Surge Protector and Power Monitor for RV
  • There sure is! You'll need the Portable Power Watchdog Surge Protector # HU87FR which is designed for the 50 amp power service your motorhome has, and uses bluetooth to send real time watt/volts/amp usage to your phone. Chances are your friends house doesn't have a 50 amp outlet for you to plug into, so you'll need an adapter to plug into a 30 amp outlet # A10-3050FHVP or into a 15 amp outlet with # A10-1550. Keep in mind when plugged in like this only half of your RV electrical panel...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2005 Saturn Ion with a Spoiler
  • For your 2005 Saturn Ion with rear spoiler I recommend the Hollywood Racks Express # HRE3. This rack is easy to use and lets you carry 1 or 2 or 3 bikes on your trunk up to 35 pounds each. I have linked a video review of this rack 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 recommend using bike adapter bar # HRBA-PRO. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2006 Saturn Ion with Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
  • Your Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar part # RM-520 is a great tow bar that would work well for you. You will need to start with a base plate kit confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Saturn Ion. For that you would want the part # 3136-1 which is a confirmed fit. Looks like you have coiled safety cable already too. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Saturn L Series
  • Yes, the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 523102-1 is compatible with the RoadMaster StowMaster Car-Mounted Tow Bar # RM-501. This tow bar comes with quick-disconnects so you would not need to purchase them separately. There are several other components needed to flat tow your 2001 Saturn L Series. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design...

  • Hitch and Cargo Carrier for 2004 Saturn Ion
  • The best hitch option for your 2004 Saturn Ion would be the Curt part # C11447 as it has the highest weight capacity rating at 200 lbs tongue weight. The lightest weight cargo carrier we offer that fits this hitch would be the Curt part # C18110 which weighs a total of 30 lbs. I believe your vehicle has a 100 lb tongue weight capacity which you should verify in your owner's manual but you'd need to stay under that capacity with the total of the 30 pound carrier and your scooter.

  • Availability of an Anti-Rattle Device For a 1-1/4 Trailer Hitch on a 2005 Saturn Vue
  • Hitch, ball mount, and/or accessory rattle can be annoying and it is a common ailment. Luckily, there is a cure. First, you can make sure that your trailer has the correct tongue weight. Tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight when it is loaded and ready to tow. If tongue weight is correct, you can use an anti-rattle device. I recommend the Anti-Rattle Wedge, # RM-061-125. It is designed to fit in 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches like # 36408 on your 2005 Saturn Vue....

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Saturn Outlook Behind an RV
  • There have been different Falcon tow bars over the years. If you have a Falcon 5250 (discontinued) it is rated for 5,000 pounds. The Falcon 2, # RM-520, and the Falcon all-terrain, # RM-522 are rated for 6,000 pounds each. I did some research on the 2008 Saturn Outlook at found that its gross vehicle weight rating is 6,400 pounds but its curb weight is 4,722 pounds. The 6,400 pounds is the most the vehicle can weigh when loaded to capacity including cargo, passengers, and fuel. You...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2006 Saturn Vue With Factory Chrome Rails
  • We have several bars that will work for your 2006 Saturn Vue with chrome rails. I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo system. The WingBars are one of the quietest crossbars on the market. They can hold up to 165 pounds, but it is always a good idea to check your owner's manual for the weight capacity of your roof. You need the Evo raised rail feet # TH710401 and the 47 inch Wingbars in either silver, # TH711200, or black, # TH711220. I've linked a video of this system on a different vehicle....

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2007 Saturn Ion Quad Coupe

This rack will hold 2 bikes and features anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes from rocking back and forth in transit. I have linked a video review of this rack for you.

  • Multi-Puropse Ball Mount and Class III Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Saturn Vue
  • I would recommend going with a 2 inch, Class III trailer hitch for your 2005 Saturn Vue, like the Curt Class III , item # 13591. In addition, I recommend the Curt Multi-Purpose Ball mount, item # D210, that you referenced. This adapter will give you a 2-1/4 inch drop ball mount and a 2 inch receiver that you can slide your bike rack into. Keep in mind that this ball mount receiver has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity. This means that the the weight in the upper receiver cannot exceed 350...

  • Hitch Lock Recommendation for a Dodge Ram with a 2-1/2 inch Hitch
  • For your factory 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch on your Dodge Ram the lock you selected, # e98881, is an excellent choice. The usable span of the lock measures 3-5/8 inches so it is long enough for the wide 2-1/2 inch receiver on your truck.

  • Snow Tire Chain Recommendations for 2003 Saturn Vue AWD
  • The Glacier Cable Tire Chains you mentioned, part # PW1042 and PW2029C will indeed fit the tire size you mentioned. These cable chains are a good choice for emergency use. By emergency use, I mean that they are kept in the vehicle in the unlikely event that they should be needed. The PW2029C has more rollers than the PW1042, and would provide more traction. If you decide to use the cables, I would recommend purchasing the rubber adjusters, part # PW99. If you are going to be deliberately...

  • The 2-bike trunk-mount racks for your 2003 Saturn Ion are shown on the linked page. The best of the bunch is the Thule OutWay 2-bike rack # TH45JV. This USA-made folding rack has been in continuous production for many years, thanks to its superior 2 rubber coated strap attachment system, included locks for both the rack and your loaded bikes and the protection of Thule's limited lifetime warranty. I linked a review video to help illustrate the Raceway's features and installation. If you...
