Expert Answers about Scion xB


  • Will the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack part # Y02634 fit a 2005 Scion xB
  • Yes, I checked with Yakima and the FullBack 2 Bike Rack part # Y02634 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2005 Scion xB. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out to the right. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point....

  • Will a Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Scion xB fit a 2008 Scion xB
  • The hitches that are built to fit a 2005 Scion xB will not fit a 2008 Scion xB. The 2007 xB brought a new body that included some frame changes which is why the hitches for the 2004-2006 models will not fit the newer models. For your 2008 Scion xB you can use one of three hitches: Curt part # 12490 or Draw-Tite part # 24815. I have added links to these hitches below as well as to a video of the Curt hitch being installed on a 2008 xB and the instructions for the Draw-Tite part.

  • Is Roadmaster Base Plate Kit 1187-3A For 2015 Scion xB Compatible With Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
  • The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1187-3A you were looking at for your 2015 Scion xB will work perfectly with the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain # RM-522 you have. To complete your flat tow setup you will need wiring, a supplemental braking system, and safety cables if you do not already have them. I recommend the following parts: Wiring: Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7 Supplemental...

  • Comparison of Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receivers on 2010 Scion xB
  • I can't be completely sure but the hitch in the video review of the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18145, that I've attached, looks be the Curt Class II Receiver Hitch # C12490. There are only two hitch receivers available for your 2010 Scion xB, and the other, the Draw-Tite Class I # 24815 does not have a collar at the opening of the receiver tube like the one used in the video. The Curt is a Class II and has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds with 350 pounds of tongue weight. The Draw-Tite Class...

  • How to Transport a Powerchair with a 2006 Scion xB
  • I can definitely offer a solution to transport your wife's heavy powerchair but you are in a bit of a pickle. Your 2006 Scion xB was designed as a passenger vehicle which is why there is only 1 trailer hitch available, the Class I Curt # C11487 with the 1-1/4" receiver, and your owner's manual advises against towing anything with it. With that being said, the safest option for you is to use a small trailer to transport the powerchair. This trailer hitch has a tongue weight capacity of...

  • Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2006 Scion xB
  • The only available trailer hitch we offer for a 2006 Scion xB is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11487 which is a direct bolt-on fit with no drilling required. This trailer hitch has a class I, 1-1/4" receiver which can be used for towing (if applicable) or hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. If you will be towing however you'll also need the Curt # C56030 and Curt Towing Starter Kit part # C45147. Unfortunately, there are no trailer hitch options from...

  • Trailer Hitch For 2011 Scion xB Release
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12490 is a custom fit for the 2011 Scion xB base model. The hitch fits this generation of the xB. The Release series center exhaust is on the 2010 model but we still don't list this as a confirmed fit because of the body kit on the 2011 Release. Your 2011 will mount the same way but you would need to modify your body kit by trimming to accommodate the receiver tube. If you're looking to carry a bike rack or cargo I would get a roof rack. This will be...

  • Is Swagman Chinook Bike Rack Compatible with Class I Hitch and 50 lbs E-Bike
  • The Swagman Chinook 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64683 will work great for your application because it is compatible with a Class I hitch and it has a max rating of 45 lbs per bike. When you remove the battery from your E-Bike (which is recommended to reduce stress put on the battery) this will reduce the weight of your E-Bike to at least that 45 lb limit, it not put you under it. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Can A Trailer Hitch Be Used On A 2014 Scion xB If There's No Tongue Weight Or Towing Capacity Listed
  • I checked the online version of the manual as well and it definitely does state that the vehicle is not rated for towing a trailer or cargo mounted hitch accessories so all of the people doing this are essentially taking on any liability in the event that the hitch failed or damaged the vehicle. There's also no listed capacity so it's a gamble on how much weight would cause a failure. If you're willing to take on this liability then you could install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #...

  • Will the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack Support an Extension Ladder on a 2013 Scion xB
  • You can carry an extension ladder on your 2013 Scion xB with the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack, but there are a few factors you will want to take into consideration. Once this roof rack is installed, you will have a crossbar spread of 45 inches. The crossbar spread is the distance from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. The most important factor to consider is the weight of the ladder. The Yakima Q-Tower crossbars have a weight capacity of 165 lbs, however,...

  • Can I Use HR79 Brake Assembly with 02475 OB if Fifth Wheel has 14125A Bearings and a #42 Spindle
  • I reached out to my contact at Kodiak and they advised me that the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit 7,000 lbs # K2HR712D takes ½” studs only. When you go to 9/16” studs, the 7k axle kit # K2HR79DS comes with an 8K hub that takes that only takes the # 02475 bearing. Because you cannot fit 9/16” or 5/8” studs in a 7K hub Kodiak switches it to a 8 K hub. The 6K, 7K, and 8K spindle is the same spindle, the only difference is the outer bearing changes.

  • Dolly Towing a Scion XB with Automatic Transmission
  • You can tow your 2014 Scion XB with an automatic transmission but it must be dolly towed. The front wheels will need to be off the ground while towing. I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 for your Scion. When not needed it folds up to nearly half of its normal length saving you space when not being used. The inclusion of surge activated disc brakes means that you won't have to install any additional brake controller inside your motorhome.

  • Hitch Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2009 Scion xB
  • While we do have a great choice for a cargo carrier that will fit and work with your 2009 Scion xB, the one you mentioned won't work because it is a fit for 2 inch hitches only. The problem with that is your '09 xB only has 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers available, with the best being the Class II Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12490. For a cargo carrier that will work with a 1-1/4 inch hitch and your Scion, I recommend the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18145. This carrier - which you can...

  • Compatibility Of Rhino-Rack Load Assist with Hitch Expander Adapter for Class II Trailer Hitch
  • The Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149 will work with a Class II hitch and hitch expander like # HTAD. Using an adapter like this will lower the weight capacity of your hitch by 50% so the load assist will be limited to that weight capacity.

  • Will Rightline Gear Sport 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag Fit 2004 Scion xB?
  • Yes, the Rightline Gear Sport 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S20 will absolutely fit your 2004 Scion xB with a roof that is about 44 inches across. The Rightline is 36 inches across, and the straps it uses to attach to your roof are adjustable, allowing it to fit a variety of widths. Additionally, I do recommend using the Non-Skid Roof Protection Pad for Rightline Rooftop Cargo Bags # RL100650 as a means to help protect your roof and keep the bag from sliding slightly should you need to suddenly...

  • Recommended Cost-Effective Rooftop Cargo Basket For Rhino-Rack Crossbars
  • Appreciate the purchase and there is a more cost-effective rooftop cargo basket that will fit your Rhino-Rack crossbars. The option that will work for you that is the best price is a basket from SportRack: - SportRack Vista Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # SR9035 The Vista # SR9035 is a really good size at 44" long x 39-1/8" wide x 6-1/4" tall, and it also has a fairing to help reduce drag, and is light at just 24 lbs so it's easy to handle. The only drawback is its weight capacity is 110...

All RV sewer items are shown on the linked page.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring Harness and Ball Mount For a 2008 Scion XB Release Trim
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12490 is confirmed by Curt to fit all trims of your 2008 Scion xB including the Release. They were unable to confirm the fitment with your Ken Style body kit but said as long as it doesn't lower the bodywork you shouldn't have to do any trimming. Curt recommends using the Ball Mount # C45521 for your Scion. This will need to be paired with either a 1-7/8" Ball # A-80 or 2" Hitch Ball # A-82 to match your trailer coupler. For the trailer lighting the...

  • Can Rhino Rack Square Bars Be Cut Down To Fit A 2014 Scion xB
  • For a 2014 Scion xB we recommend the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars # RB1375B-2, which are 54" in length. As for cutting down longer Rhino Rack square bars, which I don't recommend, you would need a miter saw with a metal cutting blade and could cut the bars to your specific needs. The end caps would need to be removed first so that you could add them on once you finish cutting. You'll also want to paint any exposed metal after cutting. If you need the mounting hardware for...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2004 Scion xB
  • I do have a solution for you, however the Yakima Q Towers referenced in your question are not a confirmed fit for the 2004 Scion xB. For your 2004 Scion xB with a naked roof, I recommend the complete Yakima Roof Rack which includes the CoreBar Crossbars, part # Y00422 that you mentioned in your question but also the necessary BaseLine Towers and BaseClip Fit Kit, parts # Y28TR and # Y06163 that will serve as the attachment points for the crossbars. These are aero-style crossbars that...
