Expert Answers about Toyota Corolla


  • Recommended Tire And Wheel With A 21 Diameter For A Single Axle Trailer
  • Having a 16" wheel and tire that measures 26-1/2" is a little odd as, typically, these will be right at or a little over 30" in diameter. 14" wheels, like the # LH84VR which has an ST205/75r14 tire as an example, will measure 26.14" in diameter, so if you only have room for a 21" diameter, this will not be a good option. For the diameter you are looking for, you will need something like the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" White Wheel # AM30660. This will have a diameter of 20.7"...

  • Can Thule Passage Trunk Mount Bike Rack be Used to Carry 86 lb E-Bike on 2016 Toyota Corolla
  • The Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT has a total weight capacity of 105 lbs, but that's for all 3 bikes. When we break that down it comes out to 35 lbs per bike which is standard for trunk mount bike racks. For your E-Bike you're going to need to install a trailer hitch on your 2016 Toyota Corolla and go with a hitch mount bike rack. I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24913 and then using the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2 Electric Bike Rack # HLY74FR. This bike...

  • Available Trailer Hitch Class for 2017 Toyota Corolla
  • Hitch manufacturers produce hitches of the size, class and weight capacity that more or less match the vehicle's own limits. For example, it would not do any good to bolt a 500-lb-rated hitch onto a vehicle whose capacity is only 200-lbs because much of the hitch's capacity would be wasted. In a multi-part system the lowest-rated part determines overall capacity, like the weakest-link-in-the-chain idea. Only light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitches like Curt # C11265 are made for your 2017...

  • Information About Brophy Hitch Adapter For 2015 Toyota Corolla LE With 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
  • The Brophy Hitch Adapter, part # HT5R is designed to be inserted in a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver and gives you a 2 inch receiver for hitch mounted accessories like bike carriers or cargo carriers. Using an adapter like # HT5R will reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 50 percent. If the hitch you have installed is a Class l hitch with a 200 lb tongue weight capacity, you will reduce that to 100 lbs. That weight includes the weight of the carrier and any cargo in the...

  • What is the Weight Capacity for My 2007 Toyota Corolla S?
  • From my research, I found that your maximum towing capacity for your 2007 Toyota Corolla S is 1,500 pounds. This is the amount of weight that your vehicle can tow horizontally out of your rear hitch receiver. As far as a the amount of tongue capacity, your vehicle has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 300 pounds. This is the amount of weight that your vehicle can take vertically on your hitch. However, in order to know for sure, I recommend consulting with your owner's manual for the...

  • Weight Capacity of Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier # C-18145 When Used with Class I Receiver
  • The Curt Cargo Carrier, part # C-18145 has an overall capacity of 500 lb,s but this capacity will be limited by the tongue weight capacity of your Class I hitch. A class I hitch typically has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs, which means that the carrier itself and whatever is placed on it cannot weigh more than 200 lbs. Your hitch should have a sticker on it that will list its tongue weight capacity. Please note that exceeding the tongue weight capacity of the hitch can result in...

  • Weight Capacity Of The Aries Oval Nerf Bars # AA4445024
  • Generally running boards like the Aries Oval Nerf Bars w/ Custom Installation Kit # AA4445024 have 300lb static weight capacity. Realistically though the running boards are going to be stronger than the rocker panel that they mount to so the capacity of the rocker panel is the better thing to check.

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2020 Toyota Corolla
  • We actually do have a trailer hitch for your 2020 Toyota Corolla Sedan! It is the Class I Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24983 and it has a 1-1/4" hitch receiver. You did refer to this as a tow hitch so if you planned on using this trailer hitch for towing you also need some wiring and a ball mount kit. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One # 118810 for wiring because of how reliable it is and that it bypasses your OEM wiring so you know your vehicle is protected. For a ball mount...

  • Can Harmar Mobility Lift be Used with a 2008 Toyota Corolla
  • It looks like the max towing capacity for your 2008 Toyota Corolla is 1,500 lbs which means your max tongue weight would be 150 lbs. As long as the Harmar Mobility Lift you are looking at is rated for a Class I trailer hitch and the weight of the lift plus the weight of your scooter doesn't exceed 150 lbs you should be safe to use the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24913 for this application. Aside from that you'll need to use a trailer to transport your scooter. Let me...

  • Installation Tips and Bolt Thread Size for the Curt Trailer Hitch # 11227 on a 1992 Toyota Corolla
  • The bolts included with the Curt Trailer Hitch # 11227 are M12 - 1.25 x 40mm hex. All of the hardware included with this hitch is listed in the installation instructions, see link. On older vehicles it is a good idea to clean the threads with a wire brush, see video demonstration. The Battery Post and Terminal Cleaner, # DW00254, is a good choice for this purpose. Since your vehicle is a 1992 model, you may need to use a tap or make one. Using a identically sized bolt you can create your...

  • How to Measure to Determine if a Bike Rack Will Clear the Bumper on a 2007 Toyota Corolla
  • Measuring for clearance for a bike rack is easy. All you have to do is measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance required to clear the rear bumper. I have included a link to an FAQ article that will help. If the distance that you come up with is less than 4-1/2 inches then the Thule Aero # TH9042PRO will fit with no problem. That is the distance from the center of the bike rack hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the rack that could be a fit issue (the...

  • How To Determine If Brophy Drawbar BM96 Will Clear Bumper In Rise Position
  • If using the Brophy Drawbar part # BM96 in the rise position you'd need to have no more than 3" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper. That is the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the start of the gusset. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright (excluding gusset) is 4-1/2".

  • What is the Actual Rise of Curt Class I Ball Mount # C45028
  • Curt measures rise differently and everyone else just goes by the specs Curt provides. All of our rise and drop measurements are taken the same way (unless otherwise noted). Curt estimates rise and drop. We measure from the top of the receiver opening to provide the exact. So from the top of the receiver opening to the top of the ball platform it is 5-3/8 inches when ball mount # C45028 is in the rise position and 6 inches in the drop position. Like you said that is the highest available...

  • How to Maximize Cargo Carrying Capacity on 2010 Toyota Corolla
  • It is okay if a rooftop cargo box overhangs the windshield slightly (it gives you some relief from sun glare) and it is also okay if it extends far to the rear as long as you don't mind the possibility of the box rear edge interfering with full opening of the trunk. What will matter is that the weight of very large cargo boxes such as the 21-cubic-foot Yakima Skybox 21 # Y07337 is substantial: 62-lbs empty. Your Yakima roof rack is another 15-lbs or so. You're now pushing close to 80-lbs...

  • Receiver Tube Length of Curt C11265 Class I Hitch
  • The receiver tube of the Curt # C11265 Class I hitch measures 5-1/2 inches long, as you can see in the provided photo. The # C11265 is a fit for the 2003-2019 Toyota Corolla. If you'll be using the hitch for light-duty towing, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing system. For a trailer wiring harness, use the Curt # 55542. For a ball mount, use # C45521 and # PC2 for a hitch pin. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, use # A-80 or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball.

  • The maximum trailer hitch size your 2012 Toyota Corolla can accommodate is Class I. The one I recommend is the Draw-Tite # 24913.
