Expert Answers about Honda Accord


  • Class III Hitch for Carrying Bike Rack on 2012 Honda Accord
  • All the hitches we offer for your vehicle are a Class I like the Curt # C11085 that would have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. This being said, there are several options that would allow you to carry 2 bikes on your vehicle. Your best option would be a trunk mounted bike rack like the Thule Passage, part # TH910XT. The Passage is fully adjustable which allows the rack to fit to the vehicle at the correct angle for stability. The rack features easy to use anti-sway cradles that prevent...

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for Recumbent Bike
  • Recumbent bikes are typically pretty long. Most of the time they have at least a 60 inch wheelbase. The Sitkka part # S64687 has a max wheelbase of 44 inches but could work with a 20 inch diameter wheel. A better option would be a rack designed for recumbent bikes like the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider part # HR1000Z-R which can fit up to a 74 inch wheelbase.

  • Class I Hitch Compatibility with Cargo Carrier and Bike Rack
  • You are correct that your 2016 Honda Accord Touring Sedan can be fitted only with a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch, such as Curt # C11496 or Curt # C11681. Both hitches require the use of a support strap # 18050. Class I hitches have to be used with Class I accessories items, also the 1-1/4-inch size, to avoid having to use a hitch expander like # HT5R or # HTAD. Also, note that only 2 bikes can be carried on a Class I hitch even if the rack holds more than 2. The trouble with such...

  • Recommended Yakima Roof Rack for 2007 Honda Accord 4 Door
  • For your 2007 Honda Accord you would simply select sedan for the 4 door version. The Yakima system for your vehicle will be the Baseline roof rack. The Q-Tower and Q-Clip fit kits were discontinued a few years back. My recommendation for you consists of the following Yakima parts: JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long # Y00425 BaseLine Towers # Y28TR BaseClip Fit Kit (front) # Y06159 BaseClip Fit Kit (rear) # Y06143 I also recommend adding locks # Y07204

  • Cargo Carrier with Good Ground Clearance for Use with Curt Hitch C11681 on 2016 Honda Accord
  • I do have a solution for you but using a hitch adapter like # HT5R, reduces your hitch capacity by 50 percent, so it's not ideal. The best option I can offer is the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110, which has a shank with a built in rise of 3-3/4 inches. When we tested the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11681 on a similar year Honda Accord, we found that the distance from the ground to the top innermost part of the receiver tube, was about 11-1/2 inches, which would put the Curt cargo carrier...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid With LED Taillights
  • For a hitch that fits your 2015 Honda Accord Hybrid you need the Curt # C11681. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It also features a bolt-on installation and a limited lifetime warranty. Although this hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs, you need to check your owner's manual for the towing capacity of your Accord. You will be limited by whichever is lower. For wiring with LED lights you need the Curt # C56173. This will plug into the connection points behind...

  • Does Hollywood Racks and the Over-The-Top part # HRF2-3 Fit 2014 Honda Accord Sedan
  • Yes, I checked with Hollywood Racks and the Over-The-Top part # HRF2-3 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Honda Accord Sedan. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level...

  • Towing Capacity of 2018 Honda Accord Sedan with 2.0L Engine
  • From my research your 2018 Honda Accord can tow up to 1,000 pounds since it has the 2.0L. According to the owner's manual the 1.5L is not designed for towing and if someone tries to tow with one the warranty may be voided. Yikes! The hitch I recommend for your Honda is the Curt, part # C11525. It's rated up to 2,000 pounds but you're still limited by the vehicle's 1,000 pound max. The recommended ball mount with the hitch is part # 3593. Use part # 19258 if you need a 2 inch ball...

  • Can Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for 2016 Honda Accord Sedan go Through Car Wash
  • That's a good question, and the Rhino-Rack roof rack should be removed from your 2016 Honda Accord sedan before going through an automatic car wash, as should, like you said, the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S512. All roof racks (and accessories) should be removed before going through an automatic car wash in order to ensure they don't get damaged by the high pressure spray. If you are washing your Accord by hand though, you can leave it on. The parts that make up the rack for your...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2016 Honda Accord Sedan Touring
  • The Curt hitch part # C11496 is a fit for your 2016 Honda Accord Sedan Touring and would be a great option. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. Then for trailer wiring you'd want the # C56299. Then for a ball mount you'd want the part # 3593 and hitch balls # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball.

  • Yes, the Thule Gateway 3 trunk mount bike rack, # TH78VR, is listed as a fit for your 2002 Honda Accord Sedan and is a great choice for your vehicle. The Hold Fast cradles with advanced grooves and detachable anti-sway arms will gently and securely hold the bikes. Installation is easy with the 6-strap secure design.

  • Grease Compatibility for Trailer Wheel Bearings
  • You are correct about greases; some do not work well with others. Out of the greases that we carry the type with the most compatibility is red grease # L11390. It is compatible with the following grease types: Aluminum Complex Calcium Stearate Calcium 12-Hydroxystearate Calcium Complex Calcium Sulfonate Complex Lithium Stearate Lithium 12-Hydroxystearate Polyurea (LUB-LM Type) (This would be the most compatible but we do not carry this type) Ideally you would completely remove all the...

  • The top of the 1-1/4" receiver opening of Curt trailer hitch # C11525 will be about 11 inches from the ground. You can see this on the attached video. One way to decrease the possibility of bottoming out, will be to obtain accessories with some rise in the shank or choose a ball mount will some rise when towing.

  • Trailer Running Lights Work But No Stop/Turn Lights After Installing New Trailer Wiring
  • Thank you for detailing your troubleshooting efforts with the new wiring on your trailer. First, check the ground wires on both the harness and the trailer. Make sure both are tightly affixed to a clean bare metal spot on the vehicle and trailer frames. You can sand off paint and secure the wires to a new grounding point if needed. A weak ground can cause all sorts of weird behavior with lighting. Check all wiring for signs of cracks or worn spots in the insulation that could cause a...

  • The Thule Passage 2 Trunk Bike Rack, part # TH910XT, will fit on your 2006 and 2007 Honda Accord. It fits the 2 door and the 4 door models. I am including a video link and an instructions link on the Thule TH910XT trunk bike rack. If you are going to be carrying womens or childrens bikes that do not have the horizontal bar at the top of the frame, you will want to use the Thule Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT. It attaches to the center seat post and to the handlebar post and provides a horizontal...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2005 Honda Accord Non Hybrid
  • We do offer a base plate kit that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2005 Honda Accord non hybrid. For that you would want the part # 1545-1. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the bulb...

  • Best Way to Carry Feel Free Durado 125 Kayak with 2019 Honda Accord Sport
  • Because of the weight of your kayak, I wouldn't recommend carrying it on your roof with a roof rack, as the weight of the kayak combined with the weight of the roof rack kit are likely going to be pushing the safe limits of the roof on your 2019 Honda Accord Sport. For that reason, I recommend using a lightweight trailer like the Malone EcoLight # MAL43FR, which comes with kayak carriers integrated and will give you the ability to carry 2 kayaks and cargo weighing up to 400-lbs (confirmed...
