  • Trailer Hitch and Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • For a base plate kit for your 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara you would want the part # 521020-1B. This would work great with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 part # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. 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. And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The...

  • Roof Rack Recommendaton for 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The versions of the 2008 Suzuki Grand Vitara that have the factory anchor points for a roof rack should have flush rails that run front to back on the roof of the vehicle. This is what the Rhino Rack # RRRVP16 that you referenced is designed to fit. You can send me a picture of your roof if you are unsure and I can then send it to Rhino Rack to verify but if you have the anchor points this should be the rack you'd want. Otherwise if your roof was totally naked the only option would be...

  • Installation of SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System and Ease of Disconnect
  • The SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99243 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your Suzuki Grand Vitara and is a great choice if your RV has air brakes. This is a true, proportional system, which means it will actually use air pressure from the RV's brakes to apply the brakes in your towed vehicle at the same time and with the same intensity. The initial installation can definitely be a bit more involved than some other systems, but a great thing about this...

  • 7-Way Extension for Use with 36 Inch SuperTruss Extension
  • To extend the 7-Way trailer connector out from the back of your truck to the mount on the SuperTruss extension I recommend # TLW6036 which is 36 inches long. Then you could use the Flexo-Coil kit # RM-146-7 like normal.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 1998 Suzuki Sidekick Sport
  • For the 1998 Suzuki Sidekick Sport Model, the Curt Class I, part # C11024 is a confirmed fit. According to Curt, their # 11128 Class I hitch is NOT a fit for a Sport model Sidekick. If you'll be using the hitch for light-duty towing, consult the owner's manual to ensure you don't exceed the towing capabilities of the vehicle. The hitch has a 200 lb tongue weight/2000 lb towing capacity, which will be limited by the towing capacity of the vehicle if it's less than that of the hitch. You...

  • Spare Tire Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2002 Subaru Grand Vitara
  • According to my Hollywood Racks representative, their # HRSR1 is a confirmed fit, but you'd want to remove the spare tire cover first. Their # HRSR2 Spare Tire mounted bike rack isn't a confirmed fit for your Grand Vitara. The # HRSR1 is the lowest cost alternative, but I personally don't care for the fact that the rack attaches to the spare tire using straps. Thule has confirmed that their Spare Time, part # TH963PRO is a fit. Yakima also confirms that their SpareTime, part # Y02599 is...

  • Spare Tire Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • Yes, I checked with Thule and the Spare Me part # TH963PRO that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara so it would work well for you. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an...

  • Trailer Spare Tire Carrier Recommendation that can Be Used on 12 inch or 13 inch Diameter Wheels
  • The Erickson spare wheel mount part # EM77316 that you referenced was not designed to be used on wheels smaller than 14 inches in diameter. The cap diameter is 5 inches which is typically too large to fit smaller wheels. If you measure the diameter of the mounting flange on your wheel and it's smaller than 5 inches in diameter though it would fit and work well. Otherwise you'd have to look into a spare carrier designed for the smaller wheel diameters like the CE Smith U-Bolt style carrier...

  • No Splice Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 1987 Suzuki Samarai
  • The only ones we carry are universal style kits that require splicing with the exception of the ZCI # 119250KIT which is a fit for your 1987 Suzuki Samaria and is a universal kit but due to it's design does not require cutting of turn signal wires.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch, Wiring and Ball Mount for 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12002 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. This is a Class II trailer hitch that will provide a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a 3,500 pound towing capacity. I also recommend checking the towing capacity of your vehicle as listed in the owner's manual. I have attached the installation details for your review. Please note that Curt requires all non-trailer loads such as bike racks and cargo carriers to be supported...

  • Can Software On Blue Ox Patriot P2 BRK2016 Be Upgraded To The Patriot BLU37TR Software?
  • You can send in your Blue Ox Patriot 2 BRK2016 to have the software upgraded, but this will still not make it the same as the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR as it will not have a new internal brake pressure sensor. This sensor detects pressure on the brake pedal and if it detects pressure caused by the seat being too close or the unit being tilted. This will also monitor pressure on the brake pedal while you are on the road so if you hit a large bump and the unit gets jarred causing it to apply...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for a 175/70-13 Tire Size
  • For your 175/70-13 tires the best choice is the Titan Chain # TC1520 chains with square links in diamond pattern for maximum traction. If your Owner's Manual recommends only using Class-S low profile chains these will meet that requirement as well. I also recommend the Glacier Rubber Adjusters, # PW100, for easier installation and a better fit. I have included a video review of these adjusters for reference. I have also included a link to all of the tire chains that will fit a 175/70-13...

  • Cover Recommendation for 1987 Suzuki Samurai and 2720 Trail Manor
  • You qukk need a car cover for your 1987 Suzuki Samurai but we do not carry car covers. When your 2720 Trail Manor is closed the length is 20 foot 3 inches so for a cover the Adco Tyvek All Climate Cover part # 290-12252 would fit and work well. This works great basically in all climates and is the correct size for your pop up as well.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • Sounds like you are looking for a way to flat tow your 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara. You would need a base plate kit for that since there is no way I can recommend you flat tow your vehicle using the pull rings on the front of your car. For that you would need the part # 1018-1. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For...

  • Spare Tire Mounted Bike Rack for 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara
  • For your 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara we have the Malone Runway 3 bike rack part # MPG2142 as a confirmed fit that would work great. It is a 3 bike and you specified a 2 bike but using a 3 bike rack to carry 2 bikes gives you a little more room to work with and makes loading/unloading bikes easier. There isn't a 2 bike option that fits.

  • Would the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Kit Fit a 1995 Suzuki Sidekick
  • As long as you have room for a 2 inch tall bulb in your current taillight housings the Roadmaster Taillight kit part # RM-155 would fit and work well. The Roadmaster fit guide does not include your vehicle so I don't know for sure.

The install will be pretty straightforward and not very difficult at all. Check out the installation instructions I attached to the right for more info. For a ball mount you would want the Curt Class II Drawbar part # C45521, and then for a hitch ball you would want the 2 inch ball part # A-82 and then for a 1-7/8 inch ball you would want the # A-80.

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover
  • If you click on the provided link, you can see which of our trunk mounted bike racks are a confirmed fit for your 2009 Suzuki SX4 Crossover. As you might notice, Yakima and Thule disagree on the advisability of carrying three bikes on the hatchback model of the SX4, which is not uncommon. In a situation like that, I typically advise people go the safe route and stick to using a rack with a 2 bike capacity. Of the racks listed, I can highly recommend the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV.
