Expert Answers about Toyota Avalon


  • Can a Trailer Hitch be Installed on a 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
  • We cannot recommend going against what the owners manual says. If it specifically says do not install a trailer hitch then you should not install a trailer hitch. But if it says do not tow a trailer with this vehicle, then that is different and it would be permissible to install a hitch as long as you are not towing with it. OutWay, # TH45JV. This is by far the best trunk mount rack available. What makes it so great are all of the features. It is easy to install and comes with locks for...

  • Would Swagman XTC2 S64670 Fit Hitch of 2015 Toyota Avalon
  • The Swagman XTC2 part # S64670 that you referenced would be a great fit for a hitch in a 1-1/4 inch hitch like yours. We don't put our bike racks in our vehicle fit guides though so I apologize for any confusion on whether or not this would fit your vehicle.

  • Looking for Trunk Mounted Bike Rack that will Fit 2015 Subaru Outback and 2013 Toyota Avalon
  • Yes, we actually have a two 2-bike trunk mounted racks that have been confirmed to fit both the 2015 Subaru Outback and the 2013 Toyota Avalon. We have the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV or the Thule Passage, # TH910XT. My personal favorite is the Thule OutWay 2-Bike Rack, # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than six nylon straps like most other racks. This makes installation...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier For 2014 Toyota Avalon
  • The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH910XT, is confirmed to be a fit for your 2014 Toyota Avalon. This carrier uses a patented FitDial system that helps make sure the carrier fits your Avalon and has cushioned anti-sway cradles. If you are planning on carrying any bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes, I recommend an adapter bar like part # 64005.

  • Will Curt 20x48 Cargo Carrier Part C18110 Fit My 2009 Toyota Avalon
  • If you are installing a hitch, like the Curt Class l Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11427, then all you need to do is measure the clearance of your bumper to make sure it will fit. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the cargo carrier is 11-1/8 inches. Once you have the hitch installed all you have to do is double check to make sure this will clear your bumper.

  • Will 16 and 12 inch Kids Bikes Fit with an Adapter on a Thule Trunk Rack on a 2000 Toyota Avalon
  • The Thule OutWay 3 bike carrier, # TH56BV, and 2 bike carrier, # TH45JV, are both listed as a fit for your 2000 Toyota Avalon, see link. When using an adapter bar like # Y02531, you need to have the proper clearance to install the adapter between the seat post and handle bar gooseneck. The adapter bar I recommended measures 14-1/2 inches at its shortest so it will work with the 15-1/2 inch measurement you listed for your daughters bike.

  • Hitch Adapter Recommendation for Use with a Cargo Carrier and Class I Hitch on a 2006 Toyota Avalon
  • A high low adapter that would work for your 2006 Toyota Avalon with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and be a compatible fit with your cargo carrier would be the Brophy Hitch Adapter # HT5R.

The item that you referenced is intended to be used with a 2 inch receiver hitch. After conducting some research it looks like your 2006 Toyota Avalon...

  • Are The 50" Crossbars Long Enough For A Thule Hullavator On My 2013 Toyota Avalon XLE
  • In order for the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier and Lift Assist with Tie-Downs - Side Loading, part # TH898, needs to have crossbars that extend between 4" and 8" beyond the tower on your 2013 Toyota Avalon. The 50" crossbars will not be long enough. You will need the next size up in crossbar length. It is the Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00426.

  • Will the Kuat Beta Bike Rack be Compatible with the Curt Receiver C11427 on a 2011 Toyota Avalon
  • The measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole of your Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24870 to the outermost edge of the rear bumper on your 2011 Toyota Avalon is right at about 4-1/2 inches (see attached video). Since the Kuat Beta # B202-114 that you referenced measures 7-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar there will be more than enough room for this bike rack to fit on your Avalon. Since the Beta has anti-sway cradles...

  • Will Kats Heaters Lower Radiator Hose Heater Work on a 2007 Toyota Avalon?
  • The Kat's Heaters Lower Radiator Hose Heater # KH16400 is a universal fit and will work with your 2007 Toyota Avalon so long as your lower radiator hose is 1" diameter. If you have a 1-1/4" diameter lower radiator hose you would need # KH16500. It will maintain up to a 270 degree temperature which means your Avalon will heat up much, much faster. The Kat's Heaters Thermal Battery Wrap # KH22200 will work with an Avalon so long as it has a Series 24, 24F, 27, 27F, or 74 automotive battery....

  • How Wide Are the Rhino-Rack SUP and Surfboard Pads
  • As long as you have enough bar space and sufficient weight carrying capacity on your roof rack and vehicle, there isn't any reason why you can't carry a surfboard and bike at the same time. A Rhino-Rack roof rack system that uses the # RRVA126S-2 crossbars, # RRRLKVA legs and # DK361 fit kit will have 49" long cross bars- which can fit more than one accessory at a time as long as they both fit within the constraints of the bars.

  • 2013 Toyota Avalon Fitment with Yakima Fullback 3 Trunk Mount Bike Rack
  • We have a little more freedom in the information that we share so for your 2013 Toyota Avalon the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 will physically fit, yes. But if you look at the installation notes in the fitguide system it says "Maximum load is 2 bikes due to vehicle construction". So the 3-bike version fits but you should only be carrying 2 bikes in those front 2 cradles regardless. If it makes you feel better just pick up the 2-bike version, part # Y02634, instead. This has the...

  • Is the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13701 Compatible with a 2008 Toyota Avalon
  • The Curt # C13701 trailer hitch that you referenced is intended for RVs and Camper Trailers; it is not compatible with your 2008 Toyota Avalon. For your Avalon you will need to go with a custom fit option that was designed to work with your specific vehicle. The Curt # C11427 is what you will want to go with instead. It is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. You could try using an adapter like the Brophy part # HTAD, but it will reduce the tongue weight capacity by 50% and increase...
