For your 2009 Toyota Matrix the only style roof rack system is the clamp on style rather than bolting to fixed mounting points. I would recommned the Inno roof rack system with square bars that clamp securely to your roof. The # INB107 crossbars are mated with the # INSUT feet and # INK244 fit kit, and install easily. The square bars are heavy duty and work with most accessories.
You might also consider the Inno # INXB108-2, with # INXS250 feet, and # INK244 fit kit for a roof rack with... view full answer...
We offer several trailer hitches that are designed to work with your 2010 Toyota Matrix. I recommend always going with the Class ll over a Class l hitch. There are more options for accessories and a Class ll hitch has a higher weight capacity than the Class l. Class l hitches are limited to carrying 2 bikes.
I recommend the Curt Round Tube Receiver Hitch, part # C12221. This is a Class ll hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. A note from Curt states all non-trailer loads - bike... view full answer...
The trailer hitch I recommend for a 2006 Toyota Matrix is the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24812. This hitch offers an easy bolt-on install with no cutting or drilling required. It has a 1-1/4" opening which will work great for towing or hitch mounted accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers.
In order to tow you'll also need a trailer wiring harness, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118386 is a plug-in fit. view full answer...
The fit information is correct. SportRack does not have a roof rack fit for any models of the Toyota Matrix. The most cost effective roof rack we have available for your 2005 Toyota Matrix with a naked roof is the Inno # INB127 crossrails, # INSUT feet, and # INSU-K5 fit kit. This kit clamps securely to the roof and the standard round bars work with most accessories. view full answer...
For your 2010 Toyota Matrix I have a solution for you, but a rack from a 2014 Corolla would not be it.
The best priced system that would work great is the Inno part # INXB85-2, # INXS200, and # INK244 which is a confirmed fit. This will give you an OEM looking roof rack as the bars of the system do not extend past the feet. view full answer...
To use the part # RM-98164-7 as an umbilical with the part # RM-155 you would need to cut the 4-way off the jumper wire of the # RM-155 and then wire it to the 4-way round female socket that comes with the part # RM-98164-7 that you referenced just like you said.
You may not have to use the jumper cable of the # RM-155 either if the main harness can reach the front of the vehicle after the bulbs are installed. view full answer...
Yes, if both of your bikes have alternative style frames without a horizontal top tube you will need a quantity of 2 of the bike frame adapter bars # UB01. view full answer...
In order to transport 4 bikes with your 2004 Toyota Matrix, I recommend going with a trailer hitch-mounted bike rack like the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. This is a great, sturdy rack that can hold up to 4 bikes at 35 pounds each. It features a tilting mast that allows for easy rear cargo access on your Matrix and the HoldFast cradles and anti-sway arms will hold the bike frames at 3 points to prevent sway and bike-to-bike contact.
In order to help deter theft, I recommend adding... view full answer...
I have a great solution for you that won't require you to mess with any air lines and will install very easily.
The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
I attached an install video that shows how it would install in a similar vehicle plus a help article on tow bar braking options as well. view full answer...
The Rola Sport Series Roof Rack 59721 does not include any hardware for mounting a kayak carrier other than the crossbars for mounting a kayak carrier on. It does include all hardware necessary to install the roof rack on your 2009 Toyota Matrix.
If you were interested in carrying two kayaks on this roof rack, then I would recommend taking a look at The Stacker by Thule, # TH830. This kayak carrier has the ability to carry up to 4 kayaks and mounts directly to the crossbars from the Rola... view full answer...
The easiest way to carry a bike rack while towing a trailer is with the bunk trailer adapter part # CC-275 which attaches to the a-frame rails of the trailer and provides you with a way to carry the bike rack above the frame. Since your Matrix hitch will have a lower capacity you will need to be aware of the additional weigh of the rack and bikes in regards to the towing capacities for the vehicle.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule... view full answer...
It is possible that you could use the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier part # HRE3 on your 2003 Toyota Matrix but since this is a rather small vehicle and the arms on the Express are not adjustable, you might run into issues with the men's bike hitting the pavement because of the larger tires. Therefore, a better option for you is the Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack part # MPG2142 as you can angle the arms up to provide more clearance. view full answer...
Curt trailer hitch # C12221 would be a good option as long as your 2005 Toyota Matrix is not an XR or XRS model. If it is an XR or XRS model then # C12013 would be the best option for a Curt hitch.
These are both Class II hitches which means you have to use the ball mount recommended by the hitch manufacture so as not to void the hitch warranty. This will limit the amount of rise you can get to be able to tow the trailer level. Based on the picture you have sent you will need a good amount... view full answer...
I recommend the Lippert Components Universal Mount Power Landing Gear Kit - 6,000 lbs, # LC333964. This system will have the power front landing gear that is standard on most RV's produced today. The kit comes with everything you would need from the universal mount landing gear legs to the replacement standard speed motor, to the gear pack and shaft. It even comes with a replacement switch. The weld stops on these legs measure 17-1/2 inches apart outside to outside and the leg is 29-1/2... view full answer...
The Yakima StickUp is a now discontinued bike rack that can only fit Class II and up hitches. The hitch part # 24812 that you referenced is a Class I hitch so while it would fit your 2003 Toyota Matrix it would not work with the StickUp.
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 from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info. view full answer...
It sounds like your 2007 Toyota Matrix does not have the OEM fixed mounting points for installing the Rola roof rack 59721. If the roof did have the fixed points there would be covers in the strip you mentioned that could be removed.
Instead you would want the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK062 which has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and do not use the fixed points. This rack clamps to the door frame instead. view full answer...
The best bet for your 2005 Toyota Matrix is to go with a clamp-style system like the excellent Rhino-Rack Vortex Roof Rack. This system consists of # RRVA126B-2 for the two 49 inch Vortex Aero Crossbars, # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Series Legs, and # DK062 for the Custom Fit Kit. This is a really nice kit that will provide you with an aerodynamic, quiet roof rack with a weight capacity of 165 pounds.
The legs # RRRLKVA claim they can use fixed mounting points so that may be an option, but... view full answer...
You have a couple of options. First, you can use a bag of your choice, even if it is longer than the bar spread on your 2013 Toyota Matrix. The bag will sag in the middle but there is no way around it for this set up. To protect the roof where the bag will sag you can use protective pad # RL100650.
And the second option is to use a roof mount cargo basket, # Y07070, and attach the bag to it. The basket is a direct fit to the factory roof rack on your Matrix.
And yet a third option is... view full answer...
The CURT hitch you would want for your 2011 Toyota Matrix AWD XR would be a CURT Trailer Hitch # 12221. I attached installation instructions for you to check out also. You will need to trim the lower fascia to install this hitch.
The CURT Hitch # 12234 that you referenced is not a confirmed fit for your vehicle so I would not recommend it for you.

My very favorite trunk mounted bike rack of all time is the OutWay, part # TH45JV for the 2 bike or # TH56BV for the 3 bike version. The OutWay is extremely easy to use. Instead of needing to fumble around with 6 straps and buckles like other trunk mount racks, the OutWay uses 2 rubber-coated straps that allow the bike rack to be installed or removed in seconds. The rack uses the OneKey system to secure the rack to the vehicle and the rack and the bike to the rack. The rack isn't inexpensive,... view full answer...
