• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for Towing a Motorcycle Trailer with a 2019 Honda Odyssey
• To tow a small trailer with your 2019 Honda Odyssey I recommend using the Class III etrailer # e98855 because it has a 2" receiver with the high weight ratings. These are over the ratings for your Odyssey so you will be limited by your vehicle instead of the trailer hitch. For wiring I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118781 because of how easy it is to install and how reliable we have found the Tekonsha wiring to be. This simply plugs in behind one of the panels in your rear cargo area...

• Could Rola Cargo Light Kit 59516 Fit Carpod Cargo Carrier
• The only way I can recommend fitting the light kit 59516 to the Carpod Carrier part # M2205-01-02 you have would be to use the brackets # BK70BB to attach the lights to the bottom of the carrier. In the picture I attached you can see a similar way this bracket was used with the light kit.

• Class III Hitch for Carrying Bike Rack on 2012 Honda Accord
• All the hitches we offer for your vehicle are a Class I like the Curt # C11085 that would have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. This being said, there are several options that would allow you to carry 2 bikes on your vehicle. Your best option would be a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule Passage, part # TH910XT. The Passage is fully adjustable which allows the rack to fit to the vehicle at the correct angle for stability. The rack features easy to use anti-sway cradles that prevent...

• Will Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System Work On Airstream Basecamp X
• In order to install the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution System part # FA92-00-0800 on a Airstream Basecamp X you'd likely need to modify the propane tank cover. That said, you would need to do this for most systems as well. If you don't want to do any trimming of the cover then you could use brackets which drill into the frame instead, the Chain Hangers for Reese Weight Distribution Systems part # RP58305 with the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System part # RP66082 which actually has better...

• Roof Rack Recommendation for 2012 Honda Odyssey
• The Thule # TH7503B-TH7504B AeroBlade Edge roof rack you'd looked at is an outstanding product that really looks as if it was installed at the factory, but since you won't be using your roof rack constantly, you might be a good candidate for a more budget-friendly option. The Malone AirFlow2, part # MPG216 would be a good quality, more reasonably priced option that is very highly rated by our customers. You can see a video showing the rack being installed on a newer-model Odyssey by using...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Honda Passport Hitch with Best Ground/Bumper Clearance
• We haven't yet had the chance to install either the Draw-Tite # 76290 or the Curt # C13421 on a 2019 Honda Passport, so those measurements aren't available to me, unfortunately. That being said, based on the photos I attached comparing the two, the receiver tube on the Draw-Tite hitch appears to be slightly higher and slightly shorter than the receiver tube on the Curt hitch. So, if you're looking for a hitch with the best ground clearance and that doesn't stick out much past the bumper,...

• Recommended Roof Rack and Bike Rack for a 2019 Honda Civic Coupe
• In keeping with the sporty look of your 2019 Honda Civic Coupe I recommend going with the 42" Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB108-2, Flush Mount Feet # INXS200, and Fit Kit # INK683. This is the only roof rack that currently fits where the aero-style bars end inside the feet which gives you a great OEM looking roof rack with a 100 lb weight capacity. Another great feature of this roof rack is that the feet come with locks so that you can deter theft of both your roof rack and any accessories...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2018 Honda HR-V 2WD for Carrier and Scooter
• For your 2018 Honda HR-V, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7322. This is the only 2 inch receiver we have compatible with your vehicle and you will need a 2 inch receiver for most carriers compatible with a scooter. This hitch will have a 300 lb tongue weight rating, so your 73 lb carrier and 81 lb scooter will get you to 254 lbs of your 300 lb total capacity so it will work well. Any of the 1-1/4 inch receivers would not be able to work...

• 2 inch Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Honda HR-V for Carrying Bike Rack
• EcoHitch makes a 2 inch hitch that fits your 2019 Honda HR-V, for that you'd want the part # 306-X7322 and you'd be able to carry your 2 inch bike rack with your HR-V. This hitch is made from all recycled materials, is made in the USA, and has a hidden crosstube so it will be less visible too which is nice.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2015 Honda Odyssey for Towing Jet Ski Trailer
• The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76025 that you referenced is a great option for your 2015 Honda Odyssey and I like it for the same reason you do. This particular hitch does indeed have a hidden crosstube design so only the 2 inch receiver is visible, allowing for a really clean look behind the Odyssey (see attached image). This is a Class III hitch and it has a towing weight capacity of 3,500 pounds. I have included an installation video that you can use for reference....

• Recommended Snow Tire Chains for 235/60-18 Size Tires on a 2019 Honda Odyssey
• I recommend going with the Pewag Servo RS # PWRS80 for the 235/60-18 size tires on your 2019 Honda Odyssey because these feature a drape-over installation, steel square links in a diamond pattern, rim protection, and a quick release for easy removal. The steel square links in the diamond pattern give you the best traction out there when compared to steel cables or square links in the ladder pattern. When I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2019 Honda Odyssey it stated that...

• Recommended 4-Way Flat Wiring Harness for a 2019 Honda Ridgeline
• If you are looking for only a 4-Way Flat connector for your 2019 Honda Ridgeline then I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118778 because it has higher amp ratings than the Curt option and we have found the Tekonsha wiring units to be the most reliable out there. This connector gives you the basic lighting functions that you need for a smaller trailer and can be mounted using the Tow Ready # 18144 and a no-drill bracket like part # 18140. Since you have a pickup I do recommend installing...

• For your Hyundai Kona EV, you can use the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 2" # DT52GR. For a bike rack, my recommendation for you is the Swagman Chinook Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # S64683. I've attached a video to show you the installation and features like the locking hooks and the folding feature when not in use.

• Snowboard and Ski Rack Recommendations for Naked Roof 2019 Honda Pilot
• For your application I recommend using a Yakima setup because they produce high-quality products that are designed to make your life and hobbies easier in the long run. I like the JetStream roof rack which is what I recommend for your 2019 Honda Pilot with the naked roof: 60" JetStream Crossbars - Black # Y00426 BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR BaseClip - # Y06152 Lock Kit - # Y07204 (optional) Then for a ski and snowboard carrier I recommend the Yakima FreshTrack # Y03093 because it comes with...

• Recommended Class I Hitch and Hitch Bike Rack for 2015 Honda Civic Sedan
• If your 2015 Honda Civic sedan is the regular model or the hybrid I recommend the Curt Class I hitch # C11391. I linked an installation video and a helpful article to aid your installation. These are light-duty Class I hitches that can handle the weight of up to 2 bikes. You need to use a Class I-compatible hitch bike rack in this hitch and all are shown on the linked page. I suggest the Thule EasyFold # TH903202. This rack packs in a lot of features and value and you can learn all about...

• Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Recumbent Bike
• Recumbent bikes are typically pretty long. Most of the time they have at least a 60 inch wheelbase. The Sitkka part # S64687 has a max wheelbase of 44 inches but could work with a 20 inch diameter wheel. A better option would be a rack designed for recumbent bikes like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider part # HR1000Z-R which can fit up to a 74 inch wheelbase.

• Bike Rack Recommendation for 2000 Honda CR-V Which has Offset Rear Mounted Spare
• We only carry one spare tire mounted bike rack that has the ability to offset to the side for vehicles likes yours where the spare of the vehicle is not mounted in the center. For that you'd need the Thule Spare Me part # TH963PRO. I really wish we had a way to make your Surco bike rack fit better, but having the bike extend past the vehicle is not really a safe route.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Honda CR-V
• For your 2014 Honda CR-V the hitch I would recommend is the Draw Tite part # 75742 that you referenced. Reason being that with this hitch you don't have to use a stabilizer strap with non-supported loads like bike racks which is what Curt recommends. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha part # 118561 that is also a confirmed fit. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball...

• Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2013 Honda Pilot
• When mounting a transmission cooler you want to install it in a location that will provide it with the max air flow as possible. Typically in front of the radiator is the best as that's where the vehicle was designed to provide the most air flow. Even being near the radiator the air moving as quick as it does through the fins would prevent heat build up. Plus you have the fan pulling the air through the cooler when at slower speeds. That being said you still can mount it away from the...
