Expert Answers about Toyota Camry


  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 34 Pound Bike and 36 Pound Bike
  • The weight capacity of the Saris Bones trunk mount bike rack # SA805BL is 35 pounds per bike. But a 36 pound bike is not going to cause damage to the rack. I would suggest that you pull the seat off of the heavier bike to stay under the capacity limit. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation and Towing Capacity for 2003 Toyota Camry
  • I'd recommend confirming this with the owners manual of your 2003 Toyota Camry, but I was able to find a 2,000 lb towing capacity for your vehicle which should be adequate for a motorcycle trailer like you plan on towing. Now we have Class II hitches available for your vehicle like the Draw Tite part # 36336 which are rated higher than that at 3,500 lbs trailer weight, but you have to go with the lowest rated component in your tow setup as the overall capacity as you're only as strong...

  • Recommended Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Toyota RAV4 AWD Limited
  • Starting with the trailer wiring harness, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118578 for your 2015 Toyota RAV4 AWD Limited. This harness is custom-fit for your vehicle and will install by connecting directly to existing ports located behind the trim panels in the cargo area on the driver and passenger side. I have attached an installation video on your 2015 RAV4 that you can use for reference. Then for the ball mount, the closest option we have available to the dimensions...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Other Parts to Tow a Trailer with a 2017 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  • Yes, both the Draw-Tite # 36540 and Curt # C12107 trailer hitch receivers will fit your 2017 Toyota Camry Hybrid. Between the two I recommend the Draw-Tite because the Curt requires you use a support strap, # 18050, when using the hitch for any non-trailer loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier. Even though you're getting the hitch to tow a trailer you never know what you might use it for down the road. The wiring harness I recommend the # 118405. It installs by plugging in to the...

  • Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2012 Toyota Camry at Highway Speeds
  • The Thule OutWay, # TH45JV, is listed as a fit for the 2012 Toyota Camry. The bike rack should perform just fine at highway speeds. The bike rack does not have a specific speed rating on it. Because it is at the back it will not be catching a lot of the wind like the front of the vehicle will be. Thule only states: For safety to your vehicle and rack system, obey all posted speed limits and traffic cautions. Adapt your speed to the conditions of the road and the load being carried. If...

  • Removal of Black Plastic Covering on Underside of 2011 Toyota Camry to Install Hitch
  • I believe you are speaking of the plastic cover shown in the video I have linked to. Before the hitch installation, the cover is removed and is not re installed after the hitch is in place. Once the hitch is installed, the plastic cover will no longer fit on the Camry. Because the hitch needs to be in direct metal to metal contact with the underside of the vehicle once it is installed, the hitch cannot be installed over the cover. To view the video I mentioned and to see the install instructions,...

  • Trailer Hitch and Hitch Mounted Bike Rack for a 2005 Toyota Camry
  • We do have a trailer hitch for your vehicle and that is compatible with the Rola 2 Bike Carrier, part # NV2. I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch, part # 36336, because it is our most economical hitch available for your car and is easy to install. This hitch has a 1-1/4 inch receiver which will work with the 1-1/4 inch shank on the NV2 Rola Bike Carrier. The Draw-Tite hitch has a tongue weight, TW, capacity of 300 lbs and a gross towing weight, GTW, of 3500 lbs. You...

  • Class II Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2011 Toyota Camry
  • For a Class II hitch for your 2011 Toyota Camry you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 36416 which is a confirmed fit.

  • Can Rhino Rack Series 2500 Euro Style Roof Rack Carry a Kayak on Roof of a 2005 Toyota Camry kayak
  • If the mounts on your J Cradles can accommodate a crossbar that's 1-1/4 inches wide and 7/8 of an inch tall, they'll work great on the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack which consists of the # RRVA126B-2 crossbars, # RRRLKVA legs, and the # DK028 clamp kit. The crossbars themselves have a 165 lb capacity which would be limited by the capacity of the roof. Since you're well under 100 lbs, you shouldn't have any roof capacity worries. Because the kayak's fairly long, be sure to use bow and...

  • How Far Apart Should the Bolt Holes to Mount a Hitch on a 2013 Toyota Camry Be
  • Your best bet is going to be to confirm the part number on the spec sticker of the hitch; the Draw-Tite # 36540 and Curt # C12107 are the confirmed hitches we offer for your 2013 Toyota Camry. The distance between the bolt holes on these hitches are all different depending on their positions but they are: 38" apart center on center for holes closest to engine 38-1/4" apart center on center for holes closest to bumper 37-1/4" apart center on center for the middle holes I've also linked...

  • Recommended Way To Transport a Lawn Mower with a 2001 Toyota Camry
  • We have cargo carriers that work with trailer hitch receivers from Class I to Class IV. However, your options will diminish with the lower your hitch is rated. The highest rated hitch we have for your 2001 Toyota Camry is a Class II like the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36336 which has a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. The best cargo carrier we have for your vehicle and mower is the Rola Cargo Carrier part # 59507. The Rola Cargo Carrier is is rated for use with Class II receivers...

  • Comparing Trailer Hitch Aesthetic for 2014 Toyota Camry
  • The trailer hitches available for your 2014 Toyota Camry all have essentially the same design, they will hang down from the frame and a crosstube will run behind the hitch receiver from one bracket to the other. I have measured these hitches in the past and found that the Curt # C12107 hangs down a little more than 1/2 inch further than the Draw-Tite # 36540. Another thing to consider when choosing a hitch, is that the Curt hitch has a round crosstube, while the Draw-Tite has a square...

  • What Size Hitch is Available for 2019 Toyota Camry
  • For lighter duty vehicles like your 2019 Toyota Camry there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Curt Hitch # C11576. The larger 2 inch hitch size is reserved for higher capacity vehicles like trucks and SUVs. Since you have a bike rack that only fits 2 inch hitches there really isn't a great solution for your current bike rack aside from going with a new bike rack that fits the smaller size. The Kuat Transfer part # KU74FR fits both hitch sizes if you were looking for a replacement...

  • Can Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer Carry A 16 Ft Canoe
  • I went to our warehouse and took some measurements of the Yakima Rack And Roll Trailer, part # Y08107. I have attached a photo of the trailer with the dimensions shown. From the center of the hitch ball coupler to the center of the front crossbar in its forward most position it measures 83 inches. The crossbars can be spread 48 inches. This would give you 1-1/2 inches of trailer behind the rear crossbar. That means 70 inches of your canoe will hang off the back of the trailer if you place...

The AirScreen will help reduce wind noise by directing airflow up and over the roof rack.

  • Recommendation For Hitch on a 2012 Toyota Camry
  • Normally on the Toyota Camry the owners manual will say that Toyota does not recommend towing a trailer with the vehicle. Also, on some they will also specify not to use a hitch and a hitch mounted accessory. Since some vehicles can still use a hitch with a hitch accessory is why the hitch manufacturers still will offer a hitch for the 2012 Toyota Camry. The hitches available for the 2012 Toyota Camry are all Class II hitches with a 300-lb tongue weight capacity. I am including a link...

  • Will Trailer Hitch Receiver from Honda CR-V Fit 2012 Toyota Camry
  • The Draw-Tite Class II # 36520 is designed to fit a Honda CR-V from 2012-2016. Unfortunately, it will not fit your 2012 Toyota Camry. For your Camry you will need the Draw-Tite Class II # 36540. For a 4-way trailer wiring harness the Tekonsha # 118405 is a plug in adapter that installs into the Camry's existing harness inside the trunk, behind the tail lights. For a ball mount the Draw-Tite # 36071 will give you either 2-5/8 inch rise or 3-1/4 inch drop. It also includes the pin and...
