  • Will Yakima FrontLoader and RocketBox Fit on 2007 Toyota Matrix with 49 Inch Vortex Crossbars
  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack will fit on your 2007 Toyota Matrix: 49" Vortex Crossbars - # RRVA126B-2 2500 Series Legs - # RRRLKVA Fit Kit - # DK062 You should be just fine to fit the Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 Y07191 and the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 on the 49" crossbars. The RocketBox is 36" wide so that leaves you with about 13" for the FrontLoader. Keep in mind that you'll likely need to mount the box or bike rack on the outside of the legs so that you have enough room on the crossbars...

  • Will the Thule Rapid 400XT Foot Pack Work on a 2009 Toyota Matrix
  • I do have an option for you but I spoke to my contact at Thule and they said that the Thule Rapid 400XT Foot Pack that you have cannot be reused on your 2009 Toyota Matrix because the fit kits are no longer available. Therefore, if you wanted to reuse your crossbars you would need both the Thule Rapid Traverse Roof-Rack Foot Pack part # TH480R and the Thule Roof-Rack Fit Kit for Traverse Foot Packs part # THKIT1512.

  • Will Thule Pulse L Cargo Box Interfere w/Rear Hatch on 2011 Toyota Matrix with AeroBlade Roof Rack
  • I checked with Thule and if you were to use the WingBar roof rack (# TH711200 or # TH711220 for the bars, # TH480R for the feet, and # THKIT1512 for the fit kit) then you can use the Pulse L cargo box, # TH615, and not have any rear hatch interference. I have included video links to the cargo box and roof rack installation on a similar vehicle for you.

  • Can Curt Trailer Hitch on 2007 Toyota Matrix XR Handle More Than Rated Tongue Weight
  • Like you mentioned, the highest tongue weight rating for a trailer hitch on your 2007 Toyota Matrix XR is the 250 lbs of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12221. I can't recommend going over that amount at all, even at lower speeds, as it is not rated for or tested for more than 250 lbs and exceeding that will not only put undue stress on the hitch, but also void the warranty. So you will definitely want to stay at or below the 250 lb limit to ensure you can safely get to your destination...

  • Difference in Class I and Class II Ball Mounts and Can They Interchange
  • The correct ball mount or draw bar for the Hidden Hitch Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24812, on your 2010 Toyota Matrix will be Draw-Tite Ball Mount, part # 3593. When towing with a Class I or Class II trailer hitch, the ball mount that is recommended by the hitch manufacturer should be used. All Class I and Class II trailer hitches are tested and rated with the specific ball mount for that hitch. Using a ball mount that is not recommended by the manufacturer will void the warranty. A...

  • Will the Swagman XC2 Wheel Mount Bike Rack # S64650 Fit in Class I Hitch on a 2004 Toyota Matrix XR
  • The Swagman XC2 Wheel Mount Bike Rack, item # S64650, does work with Class I hitches. You can rest assured because the 2009 Ford Focus that is pictured with this rack installed is one of my good friends vehicle and it works great on his car. We installed the Class I hitch on his vehicle which is the only size avalable for the Focus at this time. I checked the manufacturer instructions (see link) and see no mention of the rack not fitting in a Class I hitch. If you need a hitch for your...

  • MagnaFlow Exhaust Fits for 2004 Toyota Matrix XR AWD
  • I checked with Magnaflow and their Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System # MF15759 is a fit only for the front-wheel-drive versions of the 2004 Toyota Matrix XR; it is not a fit on the AWD model. Currently Magnaflow does not offer a complete exhaust option for your specific vehicle but we do carry their performance mufflers like # MF10445 which is a confirmed fit on your AWD Matrix.

  • Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2003 Toyota Matrix
  • Yes, the ThulOutWay # TH45JV, will fit a 2003 Toyota Matrix. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, to carry the bikes more level. I have included a helpful link to a video that shows how the adapter works. I have also included a link to all of the trunk mount bike racks that will fit your Matrix.

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C12221 and the Swagman XC S64650 Work on a 2009 Toyota Matrix
  • The Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C12221, and the Swagman XC, part # S64650, will work well on your 2009 Toyota Matrix. The only other thing that you will want to keep in mind is that per the Curt warranty you will need to use a Support Strap # 18050 for any non-trailer loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier, otherwise the warranty is void. If you would like to add some security to your setup, I recommend using the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable # S64031 which will help to...

  • Can Rear Door Open on 2007 Toyota Matrix With Swagman XC 2 Bike Carrier # S64650 Installed
  • With the Swagman XC 2 Bike Carrier, part # S64650, installed on your 2007 Toyota Matrix and the two outer arms in the down position, the center post can be lowered also and allow your rear door to open, but it cannot be used in that position while the vehicle is moving since the center post can not be locked in the down position. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Swagman bike rack and a link to a video review of the XC 2 bike carrier that will show how the...

  • The Draw Tite Hitch part # 24812 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2003 Toyota Matrix XR. The fit notes are a bit confusing, but the hitch fits the XR and non-XR models. The center fascia of the vehicle would need to be removed to install this hitch on the XR models.

  • Can the Edge Insight Comprehensive Gauge Display be Switched to Different Vehicles
  • The Edge Insight, # EP84130, will fit in any 1996 and newer vehicle that has an OBD-II port, so you can switch it to a different vehicle. Because this device is a comprehensive gauge display and does not tune the engine, additional programming, other than periodic updates to the software, are not required.

  • Correct Trailer Hitch for a 2006 Toyota Matrix XR
  • The trailer hitch options for a 2006 Toyota Matrix XR are the Draw-Tite Sport Frame Receiver Hitch part # 24812 and the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12013 which both have a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch because of the higher class rating which will allow for more hitch mounted accessories to be used. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12923 is not a good option. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12013 however is and will not require...

  • Budget-Friendly Bike Rack for 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch & 40 lb Bikes
  • We actually have the perfect option for a bike rack that is compatible with your Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver, has the weight capacity you need, will work with a bike that has fenders, and most importantly, is a great value. The rack I highly recommend for you is the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider 2-Bike Rack # HR200Z. The Trail Rider will work with bikes up to 45 lbs each, is a frame-mounted rack so fenders won't be a problem, and is less expensive than other platform racks while...

  • Will Thule OutWay 2 Trunk Mount Bike Carrier Fit a 2009 Toyota Matrix
  • The Thule OutWay 2 Trunk Mount Bike Carrier, part # TH45JV, will fit your 2009 Toyota Matrix. The rear wiper will not be able to be used when the bike carrier is mounted. If you are going to be carrying women's or children's bikes that do not have the horizontal bar at the top of the frame, you will want to use the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, part # TH982XT. It attaches to the center seat post and to the handlebar post and provides a horizontal bar, so the bike can ride level on the bike rack....
