Tongue weight is roughly 10% of hitch capacity. The capacity of this Draw-Tite Class I is 2,000 lbs, making the tongue weight 200 lbs. We have a hitch with a higher capacity for your vehicle. The Curt Class II receiver hitch (part 12490) has 3,500-lb capacity, giving it a 350-lb tongue weight.
Since the Scion sits very low to the ground, I would highly recommend a cargo carrier with a rise. You might try the 20x48 Cargo Carrier by Tow Ready, part # 63155, which has a 3 inch rise. This... view full answer...
The Curt Class I hitch you've looked at, part # C11487 is a fit for your 2005 xB.
Since the 2005 xB and the 2009 model are from two different generations, the hitch from the 2009 will not fit your 2005 model. view full answer...
As long as your 2011 Scion xB is not a Release model, you can use the Curt trailer hitch # 12490. This is a Class II trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. The bike rack you choose will need to fit in the 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation of the trailer hitch for you.
While there are some bike racks that fit on a ball mount, most bike racks actually fit in the receiver opening. For... view full answer...
The 2009 Scion xB with a manual transmission is indeed flat-towable. I checked in your owner's manual and when setting up the vehicle for this they say to put the selector lever in neutral and turn the engine switch to the “ACC” position. In order to equip the vehicle for flat towing you will need quite a few parts which I have attached for you below if you are interested:
Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520
Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 1187-1A

You will need part number 19256 for your trailer hitch drawbar. The Class II hitch uses a 3/4 inch diameter shank and the weight rating on this ball matches your hitch. view full answer...
The Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # RR570 will only attach to crossbars and is not compatible with a rooftop cargo basket like the Thule Roof Cargo Basket # TH859XT. view full answer...
It sounds like you're looking for a ball mount to use on a 2005 Scion xB and if that's the case then we do have some good options for you but it would be best to determine what trailer hitch is used first. We currently only offer one option; the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11487 and in which case you would use the Curt Class II Drawbar part # C45521. The Curt Class II Drawbar would then require the Curt Hitch Pin and Clip part # F-4 and the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball part # C40001 or 2"... view full answer...
When determining if certain accessories can be mounted to a roof rack system you want to look at a few things. First, if it is a clamp-on accessory then you to make sure it can fit the style of roof rack that you have (square, round, aero etc.). You then want to check the max crossbar dimensions that the accessory can fit and make sure the roof rack is not bigger than that max dimension; these dimensions are typically listed on the product page of roof racks and any roof rack-mounted accessories.... view full answer...
Using an the Extension # HES6 in the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12490 on your 2013 Scion xB will reduce the hitch receiver weight capacity by 50%. Since this means the Tongue Weight (TW) will be lowered to 175 lbs, the total weight of your bikes and bike rack being 100 lbs will not be an issue. You will want to make sure to check any weight capacities in your owner's manual as well.
Keep in mind that for this Curt hitch all non-trailer loads (like bike racks and cargo carriers) but... view full answer...
The Swagman Trailhead Bike Rack part # S63380 is a great bike rack that would work well for you on your 2014 Scion xB. All you would need to install is a trailer hitch like the Draw Tite part # 24815 which I would recommend for you. I attached an install video for the hitch and a review video for the rack for you to check out as well.

We carry a few different roof rack systems the will work on your 2011 Scion xB.
I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Rack System, # RRVA137B-2 Vortex Aero Bars, # RRRLKVA 2500 Series Legs, and # DK152 Fit Kit. The Vortex crossbars are a more aerodynamic bar that will cut down on wind drag and noise. The bars are constructed of lightweight aluminum and provide a low-profile and sleek design.
All the racks listed can carry up to two kayak. However, consulting your owner's manual to find... view full answer...
We have exactly what you're needing. I'd recommend the etrailer.com Folding Universal Mount J-style Kayak Carrier, part # e98878. This carrier includes everything you'll need, the tie down straps, the bow/stern tie downs and the anchor straps that can be shut in the rear hatch and the front of the hood to eliminate the need for hooks. These carriers are sold individually, so for both kayaks you'd need two of them.
Or, a lower cost alternative would be a single carrier that would hold the... view full answer...
The Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149 will work with a Class II hitch and hitch expander like # HTAD. Using an adapter like this will lower the weight capacity of your hitch by 50% so the load assist will be limited to that weight capacity. view full answer...
The P3 brake controller part # 90195 under normal circumstances should not be behaving like what you described. It normally would be showing you error codes on the display though if it has an internal problem or was wired up wrong.
So what I think is going on is that the stoplight circuit (red wire) has power ran to it at all times and the boost function is running it's base brake output at all times. So I would verify with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 that the red wire only has... view full answer...
The Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack # S64683 will fit your Draw-Tite Invisi-Hitch 1-1/4 inch that you have installed on your 2006 Scion xB if you already have the discontinued adapter. If you do not, then you will need to replace your hitch with # C11487.
Some of the Townie Electra cruisers have a very low top tube. If your husband happens to have one of those the adapter bar like part # UB01 would be very helpful to stabilize the ride on your Swagman Chinook rack # S64683. view full answer...
There are several differnt ways you can go with this, I will list a few and their features. The first is my preferred route providing it is in the acceptable price point. The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional, # SM99251. With this you get automatic, proportional braking with a system that never has to be removed, replaced, or reset. The DUO activates when your RV's brake lights go on and an inertia sensor in the towed car detects deceleration. It is... view full answer...
Due to the center exhaust used on the RS 8.0, I'm sorry to say that the hitches we offer wouldn't work. However, if you were wanting to use the hitch to carry bicycles, we do have a solution that would help you with that.
We have numerous trunk/hatch mounted bike racks that are compatible with your xB. I really like the relative simplicity of the Thule Gateway Pro, part # TH88VR for the 2 bike model or # TH78VR for a 3 bike. Thule is one of the premier bike rack manufacturers, their products... view full answer...
The highest-rated trailer hitch available for your 2010 Scion xB is a Class II hitch from Curt:
- Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12490
The Class II rating means it is stronger than a Class I, but it still has a 1-1/4" receiver. Since motorcycle carriers need a larger/stronger 2" receiver, and a hitch adapter cuts the weight capacity in half, I recommend finding a small trailer to transport your motorcycle if the Scion xB is your only vehicle available to use.

Yes, we do offer the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 4-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15247 without the diodes and bonded four wire harness. In order to obtain this you'll need the RoadMaster 7-Wire to 4-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit part # RM-164-7. view full answer...
If you blew a fuse in past and now the converter box has shorted out that would indicate that you most likely over drew the trailer wiring either due to a short or just too much amperage draw on the circuits which shorted the box out. For your 2008 Scion xB the Curt wiring harness part # 56062 that you mentioned does have the highest amperage rating so it would be most resilient to shorts. You might check to see if you have any shorts on the wiring of the trailer and fix as needed. view full answer...
