  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier For 2007 Saturn Ion With Rear Spoiler
  • Since you have a spoiler on your 2007 Ion I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top Bike Carrier # HRF2. This bike rack is designed for vehicles with spoilers. I have attached a link to a product review video for this bike carrier you can check out. Since you are going to carry a womens bike I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and allows the bike to be carried more level in the carrier while providing additional...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Saturn Ion
  • The Thule OutWay Trunk Rack part # TH56BV is the updated version of the now discontinued Raceway line from Thule. Both are confirmed to fit your 2004 Saturn Ion.

They now only have 2 retractable cables which makes installation even easier than before. Check out the review video I attached for more info. If you plan on carrying any women's...

  • How to Flat-Tow a 2004 Saturn Ion Behind a Pickup Truck
  • I am not sure what you mean by "mid" but the only 2004 Saturn Ion that can be flat-towed with all four wheels on the ground are the ones with a manual transmission. If you do have a manual transmission then you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, flat-tow wiring harness, safety cables, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. I have attached my recommendations for each of these parts below. For a base plate kit I recommend the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit part # DM9518151...

  • Inno Roof Racks for 2007 Saturn Ion with Bare Roof to Allow Use of J-Style Kayak Carrier
  • Roof rack options for your 2007 Saturn Ion include a few rack styles from Inno, all shown on the linked page. For use with a J-style kayak carrier I suggest the Aero bar rack made of parts # INXB130-2, # INXS250 and # INK214. This rack has 51-inch bars that will be quieter than most other bar shapes. It is always a good idea to check the vehicle owner's manual to confirm the roof can safely handle the weight of what you want to load on it.

  • The hitch you'd need is the part # C11447 for if you have the Redline Ion3 with the 2.4 liter engine. If you have any other model you'd instead want the # C11115. Based on what you listed this sounds like the correct fit.

  • 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.
