Expert Answers about Toyota Venza

• 2016 Toyota Venza Bike Rack and Trailer Hitch Recommendations for 4 Bikes
• I recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e22AR 2016 Toyota Venza so we can get you set up with a hitch mounted bike rack. Then for a bike rack I really like the Thule Apex Swing XT # TH9027XT because it allows you to swing the rack out of the way so you get full hatch access without having to remove any of the bikes. The swinging feature is really simple to use as well which is another reason I like this rack. A lot of the racks that have the swinging feature are a...

• Brake Controller and 7-way Adapter Wiring Recommendation for a 2011 Toyota Venza
• Yes, the Tekonsha P2 # 90885 is a great brake controller for your 2011 Toyota Venza. I would instead recommend the # ETBC7 kit over the Hopkins # 37185, because it includes all the parts you will need like circuit breakers, wires, butt connectors, ring terminals, and even a circuit tester included to install the 7-way on your Venza. If you decide to go with the Hopkins adapter then I recommend the 10-gauge wire like # 10-1-1, butt connectors like # 05732-2, ring terminals like # DW05741-1,...

• Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2009 Toyota Venza
• While we don't have any custom fit towing mirrors for your 2009 Toyota Venza we do have universal tow mirrors that would fit and work well. I recommend the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your vehicle. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver or the passenger side mirrors. These mirrors measure 7-3/4inches tall by 5-1/8 inches wide. I have attached...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2023 Toyota Venza
• We can definitely set you up! For your 2023 Toyota Venza I recommend the etrailer class 3 hitch # e25AR. The matte black powder coat is durable, and will blend nicely with the back bumper. This thing is rated for 3,500 lb towing so it will be plenty strong for your kayak trailer. If you are in need of a ball mount and ball we have the Curt starter kit # C45534. This will include everything you need to hitch your trailer to your vehicle. For the wiring I recommend the Curt T connector...

• Diamond Pattern Tire Chains for a 2011 Toyota Venza with Tire Size 245/55R19
• We do offer several tire chains and cables that fit the 245/55-19 tire size but none of the Thule chains will fit. For diamond pattern chains that fit this size we have # TC2324. These chains also come with built-in rubber tensioners so no additional adjusters are needed. They are color coded for easy installation. Before purchasing any tire chains you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual for specific information or restrictions on the use of chains. I have included a link to...

• Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and towing Accessories for a 2011 Toyota Venza
• What the dealer most likely meant is that the Toyota Venza does not come with a factory tow package and thus there are no official tow package parts made for it that are OEM. You can still install a trailer hitch and wiring in your 2011 Venza. The Draw-Tite Hitch, # 36512, that you referenced is a good choice. Even though the hitch has a gross trailer weight capacity of 3,500 pounds, you must still go by the owners manual for the towing capacity of the vehicle and go by it. If that is...

• Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with 2009 Toyota Venza
• First you would need a hitch on your 2009 Toyota Venza. For that the most popular option is the Curt hitch part # 13356. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening that would work well for you. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118482 which is a custom fit for your vehicle. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

• Recommended 4 Bike Rack And Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2023 Toyota Venza
• First you will need the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C89UR for your 2023 Toyota Venza. This is a custom fit receiver that will allow you to install the receiver without drilling into your frame. For a 4 bike rack I recommend the Yakima StageTwo Bike Rack # Y85AR this rack elevates the further it gets from the rear of your Venza. This will help to reduce the chances of the rack dragging on steep driveways or hills. It is capable of carrying 4 bikes with 16" to 29" wheels with the front...

• Adapter Recommendation for Vehicle 4-Way to Charge Trailer Battery
• Yes, the Adapter part # 30717 would work for both vehicles you have so that you can run a charge wire to your vehicle battery. To complete the 12 volt circuit you will need to run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) through a circuit breaker like part # 9510 to the positive terminal of your battery. The rest of the wires would need to be just taped up and secured out of the way.

• Yakima Sweet Roll Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Loading a Double Kayak From Rear of Vehicle
• The Yakima Sweet Roll part # Y04074 that you referenced will fit square/rectangular crossbars and will allow you to load the kayak from the rear of the vehicle. If you check out the review video I attached around the 2:10 mark you can see how this carrier allows the install of a kayak from the rear of the vehicle by sliding it on. As long as your kayak weighs less than 80 lbs (which I checked and it does) this carrier would fit and work well.

• Bike Rack Compatibility With 2010 Toyota Venza

Your Venza can be equipped with either a Class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver or a Class II trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" hitch receiver. The versatility of the Swagman XTC-2 bike rack actually allows it to work well with both hitches! It's definitely a wise idea to secure both your bike rack and your bikes with hitch locks and cable locks. If your trailer hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver, then consider the...

• Saris Trunk Mounted Bike Rack that Fits 2013 Toyota Venza
• Since you only have to carry 2 bikes at a time I'd go with the Saris Bones # SA805BL over a 3 bike version as this would be all you need, easily and securely carries up to 2 bikes like you need, and also fits both your 2012 Subaru Outback and your 2013 Toyota Venza. If you'd prefer the 3 bike Bones EX part # SA803 you referenced this rack would certainly fit and work well. It would give you room to carry a third bike if ever needed as well.

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Venza and 2004 Toyota Matrix
• Because of the upper spoiler-trim piece on the Venza, the trunk mount bike rack I recommend for your 2013 Toyota Venza and 2004 Toyota Matrix is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles with Spoilers # HRF2-3. This bike rack is designed to take any weight, that more traditional trunk mount bike racks would place on the spoiler, off of the spoiler by moving the attachment points of the straps on the rack up higher. The # HRF2-3 can carry 3 bikes and has a weight capacity...

• Bike Rack that is Quick and Easy to Remove from a Trailer Hitch on a Toyota Venza
• There isn't a quick release set up for the Thule Roadway # TH9058 but if you used the Kuat Beta, # B202-2, then it has a regular pin and a knob that you can loosen by hand and not have to use a wrench. This model fits 2 inch hitches only. If the hitch on your Venza is a 1-1/4 inch then # B202-114 would be the correct bike rack. These racks cost just a little more but they are super light weight at just over 12 pounds. I have linked a video review for you.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Toyota Venza Hybrid
• I have a different option for you, but the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT82MR is not confirmed to fit your 2021 Toyota Venza Hybrid as it was designed for the Volkswagen Amarok. For your vehicle you will need the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # DT46MR which will fit your Hybrid model just fine and gives a 525lb tongue weight rating and 3500lb trailer weight rating. If you are planning on towing a trailer with your Venza you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # C57ER, and a ball...

• What 4-Way and 7-Way Harness do You Recommend for My 2022 Toyota Venza?
• For a great-quality 4-way harness that fits your 2022 Toyota Venza, I recommend the T-Connector Wiring Harness # C57ER. Once the 4-way is installed, you are ready to install the 7-way. For that harness, you need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7. With this kit, you prep your Venza to utilize a brake controller. This harness requires splicing into your current wiring. For a great brake controller, I recommend the Curt Echo # C51180. The Echo provides...
