  • What Base Plates and Tow Bars are Needed for a 1993 Honda Accord
  • We carry RoadMaster base plates as they are one of the oldest and most respected in Tow Bars and Base Plates. Assuming your Accord is not a station wagon, you would use part # 1506-1 for base plates. They are the standard style base plates and are the least expensive for your vehicle. I would suggest the RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar, part # RM-020 it is a basic, but strong tow bar that should serve your purposes well. It will handle vehicles up to 5,000 pounds which should be plenty for...

  • Parts Needed for Hitch Installation on 2005 Honda Accord
  • Your first step is a check of your Accord owners manual to confirm its rated towing capacity. It is very important that you do not exceed its limits. I found a copy online that indicates its towing capacity is 1000 pounds. Check your manual to be sure your intended towing set-up will not exceed safe limits. The owners manual for your trailer will indicate its gross towing weight (GTW) and its tongue weight (TW). These trailer ratings cannot exceed either the vehicle or the hitch receiver...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Honda Accord Sedan Behind an RV
  • To flat tow your 2012 Honda Accord behind your RV you will first need base plates, # BX2254. But the way that these base plates are spaced once installed on the vehicle prohibits the use of the Acclaim tow bar. But you can use the Adventurer tow bar # BX7322 which costs less than the Acclaim but does not come with safety cables. To add safety cables you can use # RM-643. Next you will need a lighting solution. You can use a simple magnetic kit such as # RM-2120 which is easy to set up...

  • Parts Needed to Tow with a 2015 Honda Accord EX V6
  • Out of the available trailer hitches for your 2015 Honda Accord I recommend going with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11681 over the Curt item # C11496. They are both identical in Class and weight ratings and come with a 1-1/4" receiver. Please note that Class I trailer hitches are only rated to carry up to 2 bikes. The Curt warranty requires a Stabilizer Strap # 18050 for all non-supported loads, like the Yakima HoldUp # Y02443, but it doesn't have the weld stop inside the receiver...

  • Are Rubber Adjusters Needed for Tire Chains on a 2003 Honda Accord
  • There were several different tire size options available for the 2003, including tire size 195/65-15. Check the side wall of your tires to make sure that is the size they are. If you have a different size, let me know and I can recommend a different set of chains. If you indeed have 15 inch wheels then the Rubber Adjuster # PW100 is easy to fit and tighten the chains and keep them in place. I have included a link to our tire chain FAQ article for you.

  • Replacement Exhaust System for 2004 Accord Sedan with 3.0L V6 Engine
  • Exhaust tips are really just cosmetic trim items that provide visual appeal. It sounds more like your entire exhaust/muffler has an issue since the tip alone would not really change how loud the car is. The MagnaFlow exhaust system # MF15800 you referenced is a complete stainless steel exhaust that does fit the 2004 Accord sedan with 3.0L V6 engine and this would replace your factory exhaust from the outlet of the catalytic converter to the tailpipe. This includes dual mufflers and it...

  • How to Tell LED From Incandescent Taillights to Choose Trailer Wiring Harness on 2015 Honda Accord
  • There a few different ways to determine this. You can have a helper activate the turn signals, running lights and brakes. If a single bulb lights for each function (on each side of the car) then you have incandescent lamps. If you have LED's each function will be illuminated by many, smaller lamps. I'll provide you with a photo showing an incandescent lamp next to an LED version of the same lamp. The lamps shown are on a trailer, not a car but you'll get the idea. Or, you could open the...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2000 Honda Accord
  • According to page 294 of the online owner's manual for your 2000 Honda Accord you can tow your vehicle with a tow bar and all 4 wheels on the ground but you'll need to leave your key in Accessory mode and unplug the radio or anything else plugged into that accessory power to prevent your battery from draining. If you have a manual transmission you need to take the parking brake off and shift into neutral but if you have an automatic you need to release the parking brake, start the engine,...

  • Recommended Single Bike Rack for a 2017 Honda Accord Transporting an Aventon Pace 3.0
  • I recommend going with the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack for 1 Bike # KU64FR. This bike rack has a 60 lb bike capacity, is will work with a class 1 hitch, and can be expanded to a 2 bike rack using the 1 Bike Add-On for Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Racks # KU57FR. The only caveat is that all of the single bike racks are wheel mounted, which means your fenders will need to come off for any of these racks to work. Realistically you'd be better off using a frame mounted platform rack but those are...

  • Towing a Trailer with a 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T
  • I recommend the Curt # C11525 to tow with your 2018 Honda Accord. Both of them have about the same ground clearance and it will take some away from your car. This Curt hitch sits 11 inches from the top of the receiver opening to the ground. In addition to the hitch receiver, you also need the recommended ball mount, part # 3593. The hitch balls that fit are # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball. You need to match the ball size to your trailer's coupler. Finally,...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2005 Honda Accord and Draw-Tite Hitch 24787
  • The 2005 Honda Accord would not come standard with a trailer wiring harness. In addition to the 24787 hitch, you will need a few more items to complete the towing setup. First, you will need a ball mount. Ball mounts are inserted and pinned into the hitch and provide the platform for the hitch ball. The proper ball mount for your 2005 Honda Accord with the hitch you were looking at is part # 3592. Check the trailer you will be towing and find out what ball size you need. Make sure the...
