Expert Answers about Toyota Avalon

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2000 Toyota Avalon
• We have a trailer hitch for your 2000 Toyota Avalon, but the Draw-Tite hitch that you have from a Toyota Sienna will not fit the Avalon. They have different mounting locations and hitch designs. For your Avalon, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch, # 36293. If you plan on doing some light towing, then you will also want to pick up the following items Wiring harness - # C59496 Ball Mount - # 36051 2 Inch Hitch Ball - # 19258 or 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball - # 19256 (hitch ball...

• Recommended 2-Bike Trunk-Mount Rack for 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
• The trunk-mount 2-bike rack that will most easily install on your 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is the Thule OutWay rack # TH45JV. Most trunk bike racks use a half-dozen straps/clips to mount on a vehicle, but the OutWay installs more easily with only 2 rubber coated straps and so it is much easier to install. Also while most trunk racks do NOT include locks (meaning you have to spend extra), theOutway does; it includes locks for both the rack itself and for your two bikes. Plus, Thule backs...

• Locking Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2007 Toyota Avalon and 1997 Mercury Mountaineer
• There are 2 different 2-bike trunk mount carriers that have locks and that will fit your 2007 Toyota Avalon and 1997 Mercury Mountaineer. You can use either the Thule Passage, # TH910XT, or the OutWay, # TH45JV. The OutWay is the top of the line and the best trunk mount carrier I have ever used. The Passage is also a great carrier and is more economical. You can check out videos for both. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across...

• Recommended Trunk-Mounted Bike Racks for a 2006 Toyota Avalon
• The two racks that Thule confirms to fit on your 2006 Toyota Avalon are the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier # TH45JV (instructions attached), and the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT (instructions and video attached) I recommend the OutWay rack, as it is easy to install and remove. The OutWay includes locks to secure the rack and the bike to deter theft. To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is...

• Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2014 Toyota Avalon to Carry 4 Bikes
• I can help you find a 4 bike rack for your 2014 Toyota Avalon, but we do not have a list of all of the cars and smaller SUV that have Class III trailer hitches available for them. The trailer hitches we offer for your Avalon are all Class II trailer hitches with 1-1/4 inch receiver shanks. The hitch I recommend for you is the Draw-Tite Class II Frame Receiver Hitch # 36540, because it will work well with a bike rack and does not require the use of a stabilization strap with non-trailer...

• Recommended Hitch Expander that Extends Past Bumper on 2011 Toyota Avalon
• We do have a couple of options that should work well to extend the hitch receiver out far enough to clear the rear bumper on your 2011 Toyota Avalon, while also providing an expanded 2 inch receiver for hitch-mounted accessories. The Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD is a really nice product that will convert the 1-1/4 inch receiver to a 2 inch opening. It features a distance of 7-1/4 inches from the hitch pin hole to the new pin hole on the 2 inch receiver. You can take a quick measurement...

• Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Toyota Avalon
• I have a solution for you, but the Thule Platform Trunk Rack part # TH65JV has not been confirmed to fit your 2014 Toyota Avalon. Instead I would recommend the Thule OutWay Bike Rack part # TH45JV. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 rubber coated straps to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the protected straps also last longer. The OutWay comes with a locking system...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2020 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
• For your 2020 Toyota Avalon Hybrid I highly recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11576, which is confirmed to fit your Hybrid model and features a nice hidden crosstube design that allows only the 1-1/4" receiver to be visible behind the vehicle. This creates a really sleek, OEM-like appearance on your Avalon. I have attached an image of the hitch installed so you can see exactly what I mean. I have included the written installation manual below. All the necessary hardware is...

• Install Video that Can be Used for 2007 Toyota Avalon for Trailer Wiring
• I did find the install video you are looking for and I attached it to this page but it is an older harness that's not still around which is why it's hard to find. You can use it as a guide though for the current harnesses we carry like the # HM48925.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2002 Toyota Avalon
• I did some checking and it looks like the now discontinued Hidden Hitch 90650 only fit Avalons up to 2000 so it would not be a confirmed fit. Instead you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 36293 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

• What Size Hitch Does Thule Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack # TH9042PRO Fit
• Some of the Thule bike racks like the Helium Pro 2 part # TH9042PRO that you referenced can fit both hitch sizes of 2 inch and 1-1/4 inch. Since you have a 1-1/4 inch hitch this would work great for you.

• What Kayak Lift Assist Option Can I Use On My 2013 Toyota Avalon
• You need to install a roof rack on your 2013 Toyota Avalon. The Thule Hullavator is compatible with your vehicle. Unfortunately, any roof rack for your vehicle will clamp to the frame of the vehicle. The roof rack that I recommend for your 2013 Toyota Avalon will consist of the following: Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00422 BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, part # Y28TR BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers...

• Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Toyota Avalon for Carrying Bike Rack
• For a hitch for your 2014 Toyota Avalon I would recommend the Draw Tite Hitch part # 36540. This would be a great hitch to use for carrying a bike rack. I don't have a specific installer I can recommend for you to use, but hitch installations are pretty basic, any qualified mechanic in your area would do an excellent job. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid
• We might have a solution for you, but it is going to depend on a couple things. First it will depend on the weight of the bike you plan to carry and the tongue weight capacity of your 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid. For a trailer hitch the Draw Tite part # 36540 has been confirmed to fit your 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid. This has a 300 lb capacity. You would need to look into a carrier that fits 1-1/4 inch bike racks as we no longer carry any.

• Using 2 Inch Accessories in a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2008 Toyota Avalon
• The available trailer hitch for the 2008 Toyota Avalon is the Curt Class I hitch with 1-1/4 inch receiver: # C11427. Since there are no Class III, 2 inch hitch options available you would need an adapter, # HTAD, to be able to use a 2 inch accessory. However, the use of an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. Both hitches mentioned above have a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. When using the adapter it will be reduced to 100 pounds....

• Does the Cut Hitch C11427 Work with the 1up Quick Rack
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11427 is a 1 1/4" receiver tube opening if your 1up has the same shank size it will work out perfectly. The hitch is a Class I so it is limited to transporting up to two bikes at a time. I've linked a video for you to check out of the installation process.

• 2015 Avalon Hybrid Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation
• The Draw Tite hitch part # 36540 is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Toyota Avalon Hybrid and would be a great rack to use for carrying E-bikes. Then for an E-bike rack the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 would be a great option. It was specifically designed for E-bikes like yours and even comes with a ramp setup to make loading and unloading easier.

• Recommended Class II Trailer Hitch for 2014 Toyota Avalon
• Both hitches are Class II, with a 3500 lb towing capacity. The Curt hitch has a slightly higher tongue weight capacity, at 350 lbs, versus the 300 lb tongue weight capacity of the Hidden Hitch # 90031. Both hitches would install in the same manner. The Curt # C12107 features a crossbar that's constructed of tubular steel, while the Hidden Hitch # 90031 uses square tube steel. For both hitches, the entire length of the hitch crossbar and the receiver will be visible below the rear bumper...

• Roof Rack Recommendation for 2014 Toyota Avalon
• I checked with Thule and they do not have a roof rack confirmed as a fit for your 2014 Toyota Avalon so there isn't a way to use your Thule roof rack components on your vehicle. The closest option would be the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK361 which is a similar square bar style rack.

• What Size Transmission Cooler would be Best for a 2005 Toyota Avalon Towing 1500 Pounds
• A Class II or a Class III Transmission cooler would be sufficient. You could use the D13502 that you were looking at, but it may be a bit big or cumbersome to fit and install easily. I would probably use the Class II, part # D13501 from Derale. It is a bit smaller, 11 inches wide, 5-3/4 inches tall and 7/8 of an inch thick. Make sure you have room either in front or behind your radiator for this cooler to lay flat against. I have also added a link to a video of a cooler being installed...
