Question:
Hi, Have you confirmed fit of the Drawtite 24873 hitch on the Fiat 500e mine is 2014 but I think they are all the same? This was the trailer recommended for the 500e in various places but I ran into issues installing can send detailed description if you are interested. I contacted Drawtite and their response indicated that they had not tested the e version of the 500, so I am trying to figure out what my next step is to getting my hitch bike rack to fit on the vehicle. Thanks

I checked with our trailer hitch manufacturers and there are no fits for a 2014 Fiat 500e, so the only way I can verify it is possible to carry a bike with your vehicle is with a trunk-mounted bike rack. The only manufacturer that has a verified fit for a 2014 Fiat 500e is Thule, and the racks that fit are:
- Thule Gateway Pro 2-Bike Rack # TH88VR and 3-Bike Rack # TH78VR
- Thule Passage 2-Bike Rack # TH910XT and 3-Bike Rack # TH911XT
I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.
