Expert Answers about Honda Accord

• Cargo Carrier with Good Ground Clearance for Use with Curt Hitch C11681 on 2016 Honda Accord
• I do have a solution for you but using a hitch adapter like # HT5R, reduces your hitch capacity by 50 percent, so it's not ideal. The best option I can offer is the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110, which has a shank with a built in rise of 3-3/4 inches. When we tested the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11681 on a similar year Honda Accord, we found that the distance from the ground to the top innermost part of the receiver tube, was about 11-1/2 inches, which would put the Curt cargo carrier...

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack for Honda Accord 2001 with Spoiler
• I have some options for you, but the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT is not recommended for your 2001 Honda Accord due to how close the pivot point on the bike rack is to the spoiler on both the Coupe or Sedan models. My first recommendation is the Saris Bones 2 Bike Rack # SA805BL. It's designed to work over most factory spoilers and I am personally a fan of its curved design. If you choose this rack, the install instruction for the coupe is to put the lower feet on the bumper....

• Recommended Bike Carrier For 2015 Honda Accord
• When installing a bike rack on a vehicle there are a few things to consider. for the most part, platform-style bike racks like the Saris Freedom, part # SA4412B would provide a nice solid rack to carry your bikes. This bike rack weighs just 22-1/2 lbs so it is not a really heavy rack. I have attached a link to a video showing this bike rack on a Honda Accord you can check out. With the shank rise it does provide clearance for you, and when unloaded you can lower the center mast giving you...

• Recommended Single Bike Rack for 2016 Honda Accord Sedan Sport w/ Class I Curt Hitch Installed
• I have another option for you, but the RockyMounts MonoRail Solo Bike Rack # RKY10007 you were looking at will not work with the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11681 you have installed on your 2016 Honda Accord. This is due to your hitch being a Class I hitch, but the RockMounts rack is not compatible with Class I hitches. For a similar rack that is compatible I recommend taking a look at the Inno Tire Hold 1 Bike Platform Rack # INH110 as it is rated for use with Class I hitches like yours, and...

• Recommended Snow Chains for 2014 Honda Accord
• Since there are four different stock tire sizes offered on the 2014 Honda Accord your best starting point is a check of your Accord owner's manual. Auto makers get the final word on use of tire chains on their vehicles and it is a good idea to see what Honda says about using chains on your particular vehicle version and tire size. I reviewed an online manual (for the sedan) and it indicated cable-type chains could be used on the front tires only. For example, for a 205/65-16 tire we offer...

• Secondary Transmission Cooler For A 2000 Honda Accord V6 Needed
• The best way to select the correct transmission cooler is by determining where there is enough space to mount it. The attached diagram shows the best three positions to mount the transmission cooler in order. Transmission coolers are more efficient when they receive maximum air flow. The "A" transmission cooler location in the diagram is 100% efficient so a larger transmission cooler is not needed to compensate for the loss of cooling power. My recommendation is the Derale Dyno-Cool...

• Recommended Square Bar Roof Rack Setup For 2010 Honda Accord Sedan
• I have a solution for you, but Thule does not have any roof rack kits available for your vehicle. While I'm sure this is not the news you would like to hear, I will go ahead and give you my recommendation for a new setup. If you would like to stick with a similar square-bar setup, then I'd go with Inno Square Crossbars - Steel - Black - 50" Long # INB127. You will also need Feet # INSUT and Fit Kit # INK745. Locks and keys are included for the crossbar feet, which will keep it secured to...

• What Size Fish Wire Comes with the Curt Hitch C11496
• The Curt Hitch part # C11496 that you referenced comes with a bolt leader/fish wire to use for installing the hardware of the hitch so you would not need to source one separately. The carriage bolts that come with this hitch are 7/16-14 X 1.50 GR5. If you wanted to order a replacement bolt leader or a spare you would need part # 80103-1. Your dual exhaust would not be a fit issue at all.

• Roof Rack, Cargo Basket and Cargo Bag Recommendation for a 2016 Honda Accord
• Yes, the Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Cargo Tray that you referenced would work with the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Carrier Bag # RRLB250 that you also referenced and would also fit the Rhino Rack Aero Roof Rack part numbers # RRVA137S-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK359.

• Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2003 Honda Accord Sedan
• The trunk mount bike racks that we carry come in 2 or 3-bike versions so for 1 bike you would be looking at the 2-bike models. There are several options that will fit a 2003 Honda Accord sedan and I have included a link to them for you. Out of all the options, the rack I recommend the most which is also the easiest to use, install and remove, AND has the most features is the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. What makes this rack so easy to use are the 2 rubber coated straps used to secure the rack...

• Is Fairing Needed with Thule Aero Crossbars
• The Thule Aero bars like the # TH711400 really don't need a fairing as they were designed to be as aerodynamic as possible. The only real reason you'd want to also use a fairing is if you liked they way they looked.

• Roof Rack Recommendation for 2013 Honda Accord for Kayak Carriers
• We have really great and economically priced roof racks that fit your 2013 Honda Accord but I would not recommend the Sportrack you mentioned for a couple reasons. One being the rack just doesn't fit most vehicles very well as it was intended to a universal style rack, and the other is it's not good for kayak carrier use like you found out. Instead I'd recommend the Rhino Rack Square Bar Rack part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK359 as it's a custom fit rack that will fit MUCH better...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation and Capacity for a 2012 Honda Accord
• For your 2012 Honda Accord the Curt Hitch # C11496 would be a great choice. This hitch has the capacities of 2,000 lb total trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. When determining the towing capacity of a vehicle the lowest rated component will be the actual towing capacity since a setup is only as strong as it's weakest part. You will need to check the towing capacity for your vehicle in the owners manual and you will need to go with the lower capacity between the hitch and the vehicle. Some...

• 2004 Honda Accord Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2-Bike Rack that Can Adapt to 4-Bike Rack
• Thank you for all of the details regarding your situation! I will do my best to address all of your concerns so that you can go on rides with your sons in the future. You are correct that an adapter will reduce the weight rating of the trailer hitch by 50% but the good news is that it won't reduce the weight rating of your vehicle at all (which is 100 lbs for tongue weight found in the owner's manual). For your 2004 Honda Accord EX you need to use the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11327 as it...

• Class II or Class III for 2009 Honda Accord Sedan V6
• The Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class III, part # D13502. It is slightly bigger so it will cool your transmission faster. Both transmission coolers will work, but the Class III will be more efficient. I have included a video review link below.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Accessories for Towing Small Trailer With a 2014 Honda Accord Sedan
• Let's begin with the hitch. I'd recommend the Curt # C11496. You'll then need a trailer connector, but the one you need will depend on whether your Accord has the LED or incandescent taillights. If you have the LED lamps, use the Curt # C56173 wiring harness. If you have incandescent taillights, use Tow Ready # 118596. Finally, you'll need a ball mount and a trailer ball. A trailer of the size you describe likely uses a 1-7/8 inch ball, like part # 19256. For a 2 inch ball, use part...

• Hitch Recommendation for 2003 Honda Accord EX 4-Door Sedan for Use with Out-Sider ASL-250 Lift
• All of the hitch receivers offered for your 2003 Honda Accord are the 1-1/4-inch size and rated as Class I hitches. Class I hitches are considered suitable for light-duty use, such as with 2-bike racks, small cargo baskets and for light towing applications. The 142-lb Out-Sider ASL-250 Platform Lift is intended for use with 2-inch Class II or Class III receivers and so is not compatible with the 1-1/4-inch Class I hitches available for your Accord. You cannot use a hitch adapter in your...

• Can Thule T2 Pro Bike Rack for 2 inch Hitch be Used with 1-1/4 inch Hitch of 2014 Honda Accord
• It's not an ideal solution but you can use a 1-1/4 inch to 2 inch hitch adapter with the Thule T2 Pro XT part # TH83JV and it will fit a 1-1/4 inch hitch the # C11681 that fits your 2014 Honda Accord. For a compatible adapter you'd want the part # HTAD. Your best solution would be the T2 that fits the 1-1/4 inch hitch part # TH23JV.

• E-Bike Rack Comparison Thule and Inno
• The Thule T bike racks like the T1 part # TH9041 are widely considered to be one of the nicest racks around and have several years of use out in the wild to have earned that very solid reputation. I would go with this rack based on how well we know it performs, it's reputation, and it's lighter weight over the Inno part # INH110 that you also referenced unless the bike has fenders as the Thule won't work with a front fender whereas the Inno will. Both of these will work great in the Draw...

• Bike Rack Recommendation for Class I Hitch to Carry 45 lb Bike
• We have a great Class I hitch bike rack that would do well to carry your 45 lb road bike. For that you would want the Thule T2 Classic, part # TH9045. This rack has a 60 lb single bike capacity or 100 lbs overall and can also easily carry kids bikes like what you have as well. Check out the review video I attached for more info as well.
