Expert Answers about Honda Fit


  • Recommendation for a Towing a 2015 Honda Fit with CVT Transmission
  • I did some checking and it looks like the CVT transmission 2015 Honda Fits aren't recommended for flat towing with all 4 wheels down on the ground. You can check with your local Honda dealer or the owners manual for more info on this. A tow dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1 would work well.

  • Paddleboard Carrier and Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Honda Fit
  • The first thing you will need for your 2013 Honda Fit is a roof rack. For that the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK154 would be a great choice. Then for a carrier the Thule SUP carrier part # TH810001 would be a great option for your 106 inch long board.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Honda Fit for Carrying Thule Bike Rack
  • The hitch I recommend for carrying a bike rack with your 2016 Honda Fit is the Draw Tite part # 24920 as unlike the Curt hitch for your vehicle # C11406 it does not require the use of a stabilizer strap when carrying a bike rack. Carrying a bike rack in this hitch would not affect your transmission at all. This hitch also comes with everything you'd need to install too. This would work well with a Thule bike rack like the Thule T2 part # TH23JV.

  • Trailer Hitch, Cargo Carrier, and Cargo Bag for a 2015 Honda Fit
  • The exhaust on your 2015 Honda Fit should be angled downward. If it is angled downward then it would not be a problem when carrying cargo on a cargo carrier. If it is straight then it could be a problem and I recommend a different cargo carrier, # C18110. This carrier has a rise in the shank so the carrier platform will be higher up (this also helps with ground clearance). Since you plan on using the hitch for a cargo carrier I recommend Draw-Tite hitch # 24920. The reason is that the...

  • 3-Bike Trunk Rack that Fits 2011 Honda Fit Sport
  • If your preference is to carry at least 3 bikes and a trunk mounted bike rack on your 2010 Honda Fit Sport the rack for you is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top part # HRF2-3 which is a three bike trunk rack that is a confirmed fit for your 2010 Honda Fit Sport. Due to the lighter duty hitches that fit your vehicle a hitch mounted rack would be limited to a 2 bike hitch.

  • Bike Rack Similar to Swagman XTC2 that is More Stable with Less Movement
  • For a very similar bike rack to the Swagman XTC2 part # S64670 that has quite a bit less movement when travelling we have the Hollywood Racks part # HR200Z. If you check out the review video you can see that it is a very stable bike rack. I looked up pictures of your bike and from what I can tell you have a standard road bike that would work well with this rack. The weight of this rack is 39 lbs. We can easily ship this to you so that you don't have to try and find it locally. It's pretty...

  • Swagman 2 Bike Carrier # S64650 Recommendation for a 2008 Honda Fit
  • In order to determine if this Swagman 2 Bike Carrier, part # S64650, will work on your 2008 Honda Fit that has a 1-1/4 inch hitch you will need to make one, easy measurement. You will need to measure the distance from the center of your hitch pin hole out to the furthest point on your bumper. If this measurement is less than 10-1/2 inches this rack will work for you. The reason is because the distance from the center of the hitch pin on this rack to the edge of the first wheel hoop is...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Components For 2007 Honda Fit
  • Honda states that the Honda Fit should not be flat towed, however, it is possible and there are many people that flat tow their Honda Fits. According to our flat towing authority, to be able to flat tow your Fit, you will want to follow the emergency towing instructions found in the owners manual. Honda lists specific procedures and restrictions, so it's important to follow those procedures and restrictions. If any damage were to occur due to flat towing, the warranty would be voided by...

  • Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2011 Honda Fit
  • The 2011 Honda Fit will use a Class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. I would certainly recommend the Swagman XC2 Wheel Mount Bike Rack, # S64650, which you referenced for your vehicle. A friend of mine has this rack on his Ford Focus and he is very happy with the ease of loading and the secure mounting system of this rack. I attached a review video and installation instructions for this rack for you to check out. A step up from the Swagman would be Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike...

  • Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2010 Honda Fit
  • I recommend using a roof rack and kayak carrier like the Rhino-Rack Kayak Carrier # S512. This rack comes with 2 load straps and 2 bow/stern ties, so you do not need to worry about buying additional straps for your kayak. Rhino Rack Roc25 # RR83RR is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and would be a great option for that as well. It comes with a 110 pound weight capacity and fits perfectly with the

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2009 Honda Fit
  • Since you have the SMI DUO # SM99251 currently all you need to install it in your 2009 Honda Fit is the part # SM6270 and you'd be set. For a base plate kit the Blue Ox part # BX2253 would be what you'd want with the Avail tow bar part # BX7420. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle....

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2010 Honda Fit Sport
  • Yes, the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier for Vehicles w/ Spoilers # HRF2 that you referenced does fit your 2010 Honda Fit Sport. This rack is specifically designed to fit over vehicle spoilers like what you have so it would be a great option.

  • Recommended Class I Hitch Bike Rack for 2016 Honda Fit
  • Thank you for your order for Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24920 which is a confirmed fit on your 2016 Honda Fit. Since this is a Class I hitch you need to use a compatible Class I bike rack. You can carry up to 2 bikes on a Class I hitch and all such 2-bike Class I carriers we offer are shown on the linked page. To not break the bank, I recommend a cost-effective rack like the Swagman XC # S64650 which is a good rack at a much lower in price than the Thule EasyFold rack # TH903202 that you...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2008 Honda Fit Sport to Use a Bike Carrier with 2 Inch Shank
  • All of the trailer hitches for the 2008 Honda Fit are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. This is a reflection of the ability of the vehicle; it isn't designed to tow or carry heavy loads so higher Class hitches are not made for it. The only way to carry the bike rack would be to use a trailer hitch # 24776 and an adapter, # HTAD. The adapter will convert the 1-1/4 inch receiver to a 2 inch. However, using an adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent....

  • 2015 Honda Fit Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation
  • I can assure you that all three of the hitches recommended for your 2015 Honda Fit do actually fit. This includes the Curt Class I Hitch part # C11406, the Draw Tite Class I Hitch part # 24920 and the EcoHitch part # 306-X7273. Both of the Class I hitches will install basically the same. The Curt hitch uses a very similar installation method but doesn't use all of the same holes in the frame as the other one. The install time between them would realistically be about the same. The manufacturers...

  • Recommended 3 Bike Rack for a 2010 Honda Fit With a Class I Trailer Hitch
  • I would recommend the Thule Helium Aero 3-bike rack, part # TH9043PRO. This rack is made of aluminum, so it is very lightweight, and it includes both a hitch lock and a built-in cable lock to secure the bikes to the rack, and the rack to your hitch. The arms on the Helium have a narrow spacing, so it can accommodate the smaller frames on many childrens bikes. For a less expensive option, look at the Kuat Beta, part # B202-114. The Beta is extremely light, weighing in at under 13 lbs,...

  • Recommended Trunk Mount Bike Rack For 2021 Honda CR-V Hybrid
  • I have a replacement option for you, but unfortunately the Thule Raceway PRO 2-Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms TH9001PRO you currently have is not confirmed to fit a 2021 Honda CR-V. Instead I recommend the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # SA803 which is confirmed to fit the 2021 CR-V, and will allow you to carry 3 bikes weighing up to 35lbs each. The Saris # SA803 is a fantastic trunk bike rack due to the ratcheting anti-sway craddles that secure...
