Expert Answers about Honda Fit


  • How To Use 2" Bike Rack On 2015 Honda Fit
  • In order to use a bike rack with 2" shank on a 2015 Honda Fit such as the Thule T2 Classic you will need to use the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7273 which is the only available 2" hitch option. The EcoHitch has a super hidden design so it will look very nice on the back of the vehicle. It does actually not use any sort of class rating but class III would be most appropriate if one had to be assigned That said, so long as you are under the 300 lb tongue weight rating...

  • How To Carry Three Bikes On a 2011 Honda Fit Sport
  • The best option I have to carry three bikes on a 2011 Honda Fit Sport would be with the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack part # HRF2-3. The Over-the-Top will secure to the trunk and provide a secure attachment point for all three bikes. That said, you would need the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # 64005 for any of the bikes that don't have a horizontal top tube. If you wanted to carry the bikes on the roof, you'd need an option with longer crossbars like the SportRack...

  • Will the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack Fit a 2013 Honda Fit
  • The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack part # SH12P is a great option for a 2013 Honda Fit which used with a trailer hitch such as the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7286. The bike rack has a built-in rise so there should not be any issues with the exhaust being close enough to melt anything.

  • Tire Chain Recommendations for 2010 Honda Fit Sport
  • The Thule Self-Tensioning snow tires you mentioned, part # TH04115075 are a fit for your 185/55-16 tires. Usually, smaller front wheel drive vehicles like your Fit specify that tire chains should be installed on the front wheels only and should be a chain that has a 'Class S' rating. A Class S rated chain will not extend any further to the inside of the tire than 15mm. The Thule # TH04115075 chain is Class S rated. I'd recommend you read the owner's manual, and abide by any advice or...

  • Is An Extra Converter Needed When Wiring The 2009 Honda Fit With The Tow Ready Harness # 118420
  • The correct wiring harness for your 2009 Honda Fit Sport is the Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118420. It will include the circuit protected taillight converter that is needed on your Honda Fit. You will not need any other converters or electrical parts to have a 4-flat connector on your vehicle.

  • Will Kuat NV 2.0 Bike Rack Work on 2009 Honda Fit Sport
  • The Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # NV12G will absolutely work on your 2009 Honda Fit Sport. The only thing you need is a trailer hitch if you do not have one and the EcoHitch Trailer Hitch # 306-X7286 is the best option because you aren't going to need to use stabilizing straps to support a bike rack like you would with the Curt # C11064 hitch that also fits your '09 Fit. The Kuat NV 2.0 # NV12G, which is in a color called Gunmetal Gray but is also available in Black at part # NV12B,...

  • Bike Carrier for 2012 Honda Fit Sport with Roof Spoiler
  • The plastic roofline spoiler on the 2012 Honda Fit Sport makes trunk-mount bike racks a bad option since this vehicle feature is likely to be damaged by the weight of a loaded bike rack. The excellent Thule OutWay 2-Bike Platform Rack # TH65JV without bikes on it weighs about 28-lbs. Load two typical 30-lb bikes and you see what I mean about the load that spoiler. For your Fit Sport the only good bike carrier option is a hitch mount type which of course requires you to bolt a hitch onto...

  • The Swagman XC2 Bike Rack for 2 bikes, # S64650 is for a 1-1/4" hitch and rated for Class II but will fit a Class I hitch as long as it does not have the stopper/weld bead in the receiver. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11406 for the 2020 Honda Fit does not have this weld stop and has a tongue weight rating for up to 200 lbs.

  • Completely Hidden Trailer Hitch For 2019 Audi A4
  • You are looking for the Stealth Hitch for the 2019 Audi A4 part # 391AUDA417. The Stealth hitch features a removable receiver tube that attaches to a latching mechanism on the main body of the hitch when you want to use the receiver for 2" shank accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. The receiver can easily be removed when it's not in use and the whole hitch is completely hidden for a clean factory look. I have attached a photo for your reference. The main cross tube and the square...

  • Tow Bar Wiring For 2011 Honda Fit Flat Towed By Motor Home With Combined Wiring System
  • You will need the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 to wire the 2011 Honda Fit with the separate system to flat tow it with the motor home with a combined system. I have attached a wiring diagram below of how this installs. The brake and turn signals sent by your motor home to the Honda Fit will be carried on a single wire so the Honda's brake lights will flash for the turn signals as well which is common. If you want to retain separate turn and brake...

  • Why Isn't Patriot Hitches PH54FR Drop Hitch Adapter Rated for Flat Towing
  • The reason is pretty simple. The Blue Ox # BX88132 is specifically designed for flat towing and has been rigorously tested for that purpose. The Patriot Hitch # PH54FR adjustable drop receiver adapter has NOT been tested for flat towing a vehicle, therefore Patriot Hitch can't recommend using the product for that purpose as they don't know how their product would preform in that application. I've liked to product videos for both items mentioned above.

  • Do Both The Curt And Draw Tite Receivers Require The Exhaust Hanger To Be Bent On a 2017 Honda Fit?
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11406 may also require that the exhaust hanger on your 2017 Honda Fit to be bent as this is noted in the manufacturers instructions that I have linked below. In looking through the reviews I am seeing that there are definitely complaints of this about the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24920. Per Draw-Tite's instructions that are also linked below bending the exhaust hanger is a mandatory step in the hitch installation.

  • Could 53 Inch Thule AeroBlade Bars Be Installed onto a 2011 Honda Fit
  • A 53 inch Thule AeroBlade Load Bars # THARB53 would install onto your 2011 Honda Fit in the same way that the recommended 47 inch AeroBlade would. The reason the 53 inch bar is not recommended is because it will hang over and additional 3 inches on either side of your vehicle which might cause clearance issues. For example you would be more likely to hit your head on the bar since it would be hanging over the edge of the vehicle further. The part numbers you would need to install an AeroBlade...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack Compatible with 2019 Honda Fit
  • For your 2019 Honda Fit, we currently have only one trailer hitch receiver available that is compatible. I recommend the Curt # C11406 which is a Class I trailer hitch. This hitch is rated for up to 200 lbs tongue weight, but you will want to check your owner's manual to see if Honda has a further restriction. Curt requires stability strap # 18050 with any non trailer load on their Class I and Class II hitches, so you will need that strap to keep Curt's warranty intact. There is a...
