Expert Answers about Honda Element

• Max Wheelbase of Curt Hitch Mount Platform Rack
• The 29" tires on your bike are a standard size so they will be compatible with the Curt 2-Bike Platform Rack # C18085 along with pretty much any other rack that we carry. This rack is compatible with a max wheelbase of 68" so if your bike measures 68" or less from the center of one axle to the center of the other axle you'll be good to go. The reason why bike rack manufacturers go with wheelbase as opposed to measuring the outside of the cradles is because the bike tires will be sitting...

• Will Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack Fit a 2003 Honda Element with Class III Trailer Hitch
• Once the Class III trailer hitch (such as # e78KR) is installed the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider # HR200Z will fit the hitch and your 2003 Honda Element. There will be plenty of clearance so the rack will not interfere with the rear bumper on your Element.

• Base Plates for 2007 Honda Element With Falcon Tow Bar
• In order to use your Falcon 5250 tow bar to flat tow your 2007 Honda Element you will need specific base plates, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1541-5. I am not 100 percent sure what you mean by "purchase the base plate which was sold" with your Element, but you will need the Roadmaster base plates to use your tow bar. I have added a photo a customer sent in which shows these base plates on their Honda Element so you can see how they will look when installed on your car.

• Will TorkLift TLA7752 Cargo/Generator Tray Fit Hitch Recessed 6 Inches Under Motorhome Bumper
• Assuming the measurement you took is correct, the # TLA7752 TorkLift Lock and Load generator/cargo tray will just fit. The shank on the carrier measures 6-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the carrier platform, so there will be a 1/2 inch of clearance between the bumper and the carrier's platform. It'll be snug, but the carrier will fit.

• Will the Thule Passage 3 Bike Rack Fit on a 2003 Honda Element
• Yes, the Thule Passage 3 Bike Rack, # TH911XT, will fit your 2003 Honda Element. The weight capacity of this bike rack is 105 lbs for 3 bikes. If you plan on carrying any womens or childrens bikes, then I would recommend picking up the Yakima Tube Top Adapter Bar, # Y02531. Some small or angled bike frames are difficult to mount on bike racks and this bar will allow you to mount the bikes safely and level. I have attached review videos for this bike rack and adapter bar for you to check...

• Will the SportRack Vista Cargo Box Fit a 2007 Honda Element with Thule Aeroblade Bars

The box fits on crossbar spreads of 23-5/8 inches to 34 inches apart on center. On your Element the spread should be 29-1/2 inches so its in the correct range.

• Replacement Roof Rack Foot Cover For A 2006 Honda Element
• If you have Thule's Tracker Roof Rack TK8 fit kit on your 2006 Honda Element then the Replacement Cover for Thule Tracker Roof Rack Fit Kit TK8 # 853-5701 would be a compatible fit. Without confirming the roof rack system on your Element it's hard to say with 100% certainty that this is the component you're needing though. Based on your picture I'd say this is the correct component.

• What Is Tongue Weight And Hitch That Will Fit On 2009 Honda Element
• The first thing you will want to check in the owners manual or with the car dealer is the GCVWR (Gross Combined Vehicle Weight Rating). The GCVWR is the weight capacity for your vehicle, which includes the vehicle, trailer and the contents. The Trailer Hitch for the 2009 Honda Element, # C11700, will only work on a 2009 Honda Element that is not an SC model. If your vehicle is not a SC model then it would fit and work fine for towing the 750-800 lb. trailer. The Gross Towing Weight on...

• Hitch Fit for 2007 Honda Element SC
• If you're wanting a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, you'll want to go with the Curt # C11699 for a 2007 Honda Element SC, as the # C11700 isn't a fit for the SC model. This being said, I'd recommend going with a Class III hitch with the 2-inch receiver opening, like part # e78KR. The 2-inch receiver is much more common, and there are a lot more available accessory options for the 2-inch receiver such as cargo carriers or bike racks. The price differential between the 1-1/4 inch...

• Can the Yakima HoldUp Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack be Keyed Like the Yakima HitchLock
• The cable lock on the Yakima HoldUp, # Y02443, and the HitchLock, # Y07235, can be keyed alike. You will have to purchase matching lock cores, # Y07202, for a 2 pack, and use them and their keys in place of the locks and keys that come with each product.

• Will Swagman Original 3 Bike Folding Towing Bike Rack Fit 2004 Honda Element
• The Swagman Original 3 Bike Folding Towing Bike Rack, part # S64600, can work on your 2004 Honda Element if you have a Class lll hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening. We put the S in front of the number to designate that it is a Swagman product. I have attached a photo of the # S64600 and pointed out the bolts that secure the carrier to the ball mount shank. The carrier requires at least 10 inches between the center of the hitch pin hole and the center of the ball hole for mounting. You...

• Recommended Roof Rack and Basket for 2006 Honda Element with Factory Rack
• The roof rack I recommend for a 2006 Honda Element is the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711400, part # TH710401, and part # THKIT3109 which is one of the best options available (our only available option) due to the airplane shaped crossbars which cut through the wind producing very little noise and drag. Then for a cargo basket, I recommend the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Rack Cargo Basket part # Y07070. This is a super versatile rack that accepts tons of accessories like all...

• Trailer Wiring Harness Needed for a 2005 Honda Element
• I do have a solution that will work for your 2005 Honda Element but unfortunately neither the Hopkins # 43105 or their # HM40155 are confirmed fits for your vehicle. Instead you will need to use a universal option like the Wiring Harness Kit # C59496. This comes with quick splice connectors that allow you to tap into the light functions on your Element. It also includes the wiring needed to run to your battery so that your trailer lights aren't pulling from your vehicle lighting circuits.

• If your 2009 Honda Element has a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver opening then you can use the SportRack swinging bike rack # SR2415. If you need a 2 inch trailer hitch I recommend # e78KR which will only fit the Non-SC models of the Element. I have included a link to a video that shows installation of the trailer hitch.

• Does the PortablePet HE3052 fit on 2011 Honda Element?
• I went out and measured the PortablePET Twistep, part # HE3052. I've included a diagram that details the measurements from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back plate of the swivel, which will always be the closest part. The closer of the two holes is 4-1/4 inches away and the further back is 5-3/4 inches. From our test videos, the distance should be right around 3 inches, meaning that the step should work, and I recommend using the rear pin hole for better positioning in relation...

• Will the Rhino-Rack Batwing Compact Awning Work with Thule Crossbars
• Yes, the Rhino-Rack Batwing Compact Awning # RR33300 is going to use the same type of assembly as the larger one. The only main differences come in the size of the main extrusion, spar supports and the size of the awning fabric. The Rhino-Rack Batwing Compact Awning # RR33300 will work with your Thule crossbars with what is supplied, as long as your Thule crossbars extend past the roof racks legs and have top channels.
