I checked a few resources and it appears that you can flat tow your 2001 Suzuki Grand Vitara automatic 4x4 behind an RV. But you will want to check the vehicle owner's manual to confirm and for additional information on procedures.
If you determine your model can be flat towed then you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use Roadmaster set # 1011-3. For a compatible tow bar you can use the popular Falcon 2 # RM-520.... view full answer...
For your 2011 Suzuki Grand Vitara and Curt hitch # C13001 you can use any ball mount rated for a Class III, 2 inch trailer hitch. The recommended ball mount for the hitch and vehicle is # D-4 and it measures 8-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the center of the ball hole.
For a longer ball mount with the same 3/4 inch rise and 2 inch drop you can go with # D-4 which measures 10-1/4 inches long. Ball mount # D-26 is 12-5/8 inches long. And finally there is # BM20 which... view full answer...
The Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack, # MPG2148, will work well on your 2005 Suzuki Grans Vitara's spare tire.
The Malone rack will adjust to a variety of different width tires. The rack is light weighing just 13 lbs and can carry 3 bikes with each bike weighing up to 33 lbs each.
If you will be carrying a woman's, child's or an alternative frame bike that does not have the top cross tube, then I recommend the Kuat Ubar Bike Adapter, # UB01. This adapter bar will allow you to hang these types... view full answer...
The Americana High Pressure Rubber Snap-In Valve Stem - 1-1/2" Long - Up to 80 psi # AM20904 fits any trailer wheel with a rim hole diameter of .453", which is the most common, so it will work just fine in your aluminum trailer wheels. The # AM20904 works with air pressure up to 80 PSI making it perfect for heavier duty tires like the load range E tires you mentioned.
I included a video of the # AM20904 for you to take a look at. view full answer...
I was unable to find the information about flat-towing your 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara, so you will need to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to see first if the vehicle can be towed and if there are restrictions when towing. On most vehicles that have 4wd and 2wd, there will be a switch in the vehicle that allows you to go from one to the other. This should be in the owner's manual as well. If you are unable to find that information I recommend contacting your dealership.

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... view full answer...
It sounds like you are looking for a 7-way trailer connector for your 2012 Suzuki Grand Vitara. You will first want to start with a 4-way if you don't have one. For that you would want the Curt Wiring Harness # 56002 you were referring to.
Now to convert it to a 7-way you will want the # 37185 if you don't have trailer brakes. Or part # ETBC7 plus a brake controller if you do have trailer brakes. This product comes with everything needed to convert the 4-way to a 7-way and install a brake... view full answer...
I read up on the Surly Big Dummy, and found that the wheelbase is up to 58 inches for the large model, which would be accommodated by a regular sized platform bike rack like the Hollywood Racks # HR1450Z. view full answer...
According to Roadmaster, the correct base plate kit is part # 521020-1B, unless it has a brush guard.
To complete your flat towing system, you'll also need a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring solution, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the height difference between the motorhome and base plates is greater than 3 inches.

For your application I recommend checking out the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates # e74ZR because the Blue Ox connectors are designed to fit prongs that are much closer than what you have.
The Roadmaster Direct-Connect uses the same style of base plate you have so all you need to do is make sure the connections will fit. The outside to outside measurement for that barrel piece that fits inside your base plate kit measures... view full answer...
For what you are trying to do the first thing you will need is the part # 37185 to convert your 4-way to a 7-way so that you will have the ability to have a 12 volt accessory circuit for your trailer. You will then need to use a length of # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) to connect the 7-way to the vehicle battery through a circuit breaker like part # 9510.
You will then need to replace the 7-way on your trailer with the part # H20042. This will give you the additional 12 volt circuit for... view full answer...
There are many roof rack options that will attach to the factory flush rail of your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara, but the Rhino-Rack RVP part # RRRVP12 is designed to install on vehicles with raised side rails that run from front to back.
I attached a page that has all of the roof rack options that will work on your vehicle with flush mount rails.
For a rack that is similar to the one you referenced check out the Thule Aeroblade Rack that includes the following part numbers: # TH711200, TH460R,... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but we do not offer the particular plug you are looking for nor am I aware of where it could be obtained. However, you can just use the Replacement Harness Repair Kit part # 3371304744 for the male side and the Replacement Harness Repair Kit part # 3371304745 for the female side. The extra pins could then just be left unhooked but this would work well as a replacement. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
My recommendation would be to go with a siderail mounted Safari basket. There are several baskets that mount to the roof siderails on your 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara without the need for crossbars which are not necessary for this application. Surco offers their 60 x 50 x 5 inch # SPS5060-1101, which weighs 34 lbs, and the 50 x 45 x 5 inch version # SPS4550-1101, which weighs 32 lbs. These baskets have a weight capacity of 250 lbs.

In order to tow a trailer with a 2020 Hyundai Palisade you will need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball at the very least though there may be other items as well depending on the exact trailer. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13427 because it has a hidden design which you can see in the attached photo and it is a bolt-on option with no cutting or drilling required.
For a trailer wiring harness, I recommend the Curt... view full answer...
The good news is that all you have to do is remove the quick splices you have on the taillight wiring and install the Curt trailer wiring connector part # C55372 like the instructions recommend and the kit will be installed properly. The quick splices are what is holding the old harness to the vehicle wiring but once you remove them and the wiring of the old harness the car will not be affected. view full answer...
For a hitch on your 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75448, which is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and is a complete bolt-on installation so there is not going to be any drilling into your Suzuki's frame required. To add a 4-way to power your trailer's lights you'll need the T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # 56002.
For towing, I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900, which may fulfill your towing needs in one tidy package; two ball mounts - one with... view full answer...
We can definitely help you explore various cargo solutions for your trip.
I was not able to find an online copy of the owners manual for the 2002 Grand Vitara but I was able to confirm the towing capacity - 1500 lbs. You will want to confirm the combined weight of your specific boat and trailer to ensure it is within the 1500 lb limit. Please note that there are no front-mount hitch receivers available for your Grand Vitara, so carrying your motorcycle on the front of the vehicle is not... view full answer...
We do have a base plate kit that fits your 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara but you'll have to remove the grille guard. Once removed you'd be able to install the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1011-1.
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 safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off... view full answer...
