The only trailer hitch available for the 2009 Smart fortwo is Curt hitch # C11020. Since this vehicle should not be used for towing I assume you are using it for a bike rack or cargo carrier. Any accessories that you use will need to be compatible with a Class I trailer hitch.
Also on a Class I trailer hitch if you want to carry bikes you will be limited to 2 bike at most. Otherwise the distance of a third or subsequent bikes puts too much weight too far from the receiver and can damage... view full answer...
To see all of the snow chains we offer confirmed to fit your tire size of 175/55-15 check out the link I attached.
I like the Titan Chains part # TC1520 because they are inexpensive, are easy to install, and provide great traction. This part number has been confirmed to fit your tire size. These are S rated chains meaning they are good for applications with not a lot of clearance.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11020 referenced in your question is indeed confirmed to fit your 2014 Smart Fortwo. This Class I hitch will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and features a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. I do also recommend checking your copy of the vehicle's owners manual for its specific weight limits. All of the hardware needed for installation is included.

I have some alternative ideas for you. Unfortunately the Smart FourTwo muffler runs right behind the rear bumper so no one is going to be able to design a hitch that works around that. If you only wish to carry a few bikes then you could use the SeaSucker # 298-SX6000B roof cross bars with the Yakima # Y02114 Wheel mount bike racks. If you wanted to carry extra cargo you can use the Trunx # TRX44FR roof top cargo box with the same SeaSucker cross bars.

The Thule Helium Aero 2 Bike Rack, part # TH9042PRO has a measurement of 4-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the locking knob on the shank so it may not work real well with your 2013 Smart fortwo.
From our installation of the Curt Hitch, part # C11020 on a 2013 fortwo the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the rear bumper is 5-3/8 inches.
I recommend a bike rack like the Swagman trailhead, part # S63360. This rack tilts when empty for rear... view full answer...
The Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # HM56200 is not a fit for your 2013 Smart fortwo. There is not a harness that plugs into the factory wiring of your vehicle, but there are some great options that are confirmed fits but require splicing. I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 which will give you a clean connection on the front of your Smart and will allow you to splice into your factory wiring while protecting your... view full answer...
The Tekonsha P3, part # 90195 that you'd looked at is compatible with trailers with electric AND electric over hydraulic brakes.
Electric over hydraulic brakes use an electric pump that's actuated by an electric over hydraulic compatible brake controller to apply the hydraulic trailer brakes. The P3 has some other nice features like an easy to understand display, easy to use controls, and programmable settings for multiple trailers. These settings are really useful for folks that haul... view full answer...
In 2012 the RV manufacturers weren't equipping their campers with camera brackets so most likely what you have on your 2012 Itasca Cambria was added later on. There's a really good chance it was a Furrion setup which the part # FOS05TASF would fit right to but even if you had a different brand bracket this kit comes with a new one so worst case scenario you'd just have to replace the bracket which is pretty simple. view full answer...
We have everything you need to flat tow your 2016 Smart fortwo, but to install the base plate kit you will need do some minor fascia trimming and some minor drilling which could be an issue for your lease agreement. Typically any modification is prohibited so a tow dolly option like the part # RM-2050-1 would probably be your best option.
To flat tow your vehicle you would want the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2004.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow... view full answer...
No, there is not a Yakima roof rack but we do have the SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack - Vacuum Cup Mount - 48" Long # 298-SX6000B. This roof rack uses the vacuum cups that are capable of 210 lbs pull strength each. This is a sturdy system that will hold your roof rack and cargo in place.

The Quick-Disconnect Padlocks for Roadmaster Tow Bars # RM-302 will work well in replacing your 1/4" pins to lock your Roadmaster tow bar with quick-disconnects to the base plates on your towed vehicle. In regard to the 1/2" pins that hold the tow bar to the crossbar, you could use etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # e98879, which is 1/2" in diameter and has 2-1/8" usable length. I checked with Roadmaster and they said that it should be 1/4", not 1/2". If that is the case, then you can... view full answer...
I see that Jeff L told you a few years back that the Invisi-Brake part # RM-8700 would not fit your vehicle due to it's braking style. Since then the fit info has changed for this braking system and it is listed as a fit for your 2008 Smart fortwo.
That being said, for the permanent install style of supplemental braking I would recommend the SMI DUO part # SM99251 instead as our installers here are a huge fan of it. They like it because of how easy it is to install and how and how well... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C11020 that you referenced only excludes the Brabus models from it's fit info. So this hitch will fit and work well on your 2014 Smart Fortwo electric drive assuming it's not a Brabus model. view full answer...

I am not a huge fan of the AutoStop braking systems so I would recommend you go with a Blue OX Patriot part # BRK2012 instead. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BRK2019, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the... view full answer...
I can see how the size of the Blue Ox Aladdin tow bar could be a concern, but the tow bar only weighs 37 lbs and remains stored on the hitch of your RV when you are not towing. Another great feature about this tow bar is that it is non-binding, which allows for easier hookup and disconnecting.
In addition to a tow bar, you will need a base plate kit, safety cables, wiring or lighting, and a supplemental braking system to complete your flat-towing setup.

Yes, the 2014 Smart Fortwo is flat towable with all four wheels on the ground per the owner's manual. There were no specifications for auto/manual trans models. For future reference, this is where you can look in order to determine whether or not a vehicle can be flat-towed and the steps needed to do so. I have attached below the complete parts list needed to complete the task.

The Kuat Transfer 1 Bike Platform Rack # KU64FR will allow you to carry a bike with fenders if they are mounted in a way that will allow the clamping force needed to secure the bike without damage to the fender. With plastic fenders I don't recommend using that bike rack as it could deform your fender.

To flat tow your 2012 Smart fortwo behind your Toyota Tacoma you will need base plates, a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking.
First, for base plates I recommend the Blue Ox model # BX1987 because they are generally easier to install and cost a little less than the competition.
For a compatible tow bar there are a couple of ways to approach it. You could go with a tow bar that costs a little more and end up saving money on the braking system or you could... view full answer...
There are two adapters you can choose from for your Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 and Blue Ox Base Plates # BX1987.
You can either use the Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter # RM-031 or the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for Roadmaster Tow Bars # BX88151. Both of these adapters will work well, so if it were me I'd go with the better price option.
I've attached an article with an adapter table to show this fit (as well as others) to assist. view full answer...
