  • Is Fuse Connector Available Separately for Curt Wiring Harness on 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander
  • The power/fuse connector you were referring to is not available separately so if you don't have that part you will need to purchase a new harness, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C56102. This is a fit for your 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander and I've added a link to a video review as well.

  • Will a Bad Ground Cause Tow Ready Custom Fit Wiring for a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander to Stop Working
  • Yes. A bad ground connection can cause all sorts of wiring issues including not allowing the system to work at all. If there is a bad ground, the circuit will not be completed or it would only work intermittently. The ground should be connected to a clean bare metal surface that is free of corrosion. With the T-One Connector with Upgraded Circuit Protected Modulite, # 118518, if the fuse is blown, that would also not allow the system to work. However, if the fuse has blown, that would...

  • Snow Chains For 2009 Mitsubishi Galant
  • The Glacier Tire Chains, part # PW1034, are SAE Class S rated snow tire chains. These are designed to fit 13 inch to 18 inch tires, and are designed for vehicles with limited wheel well clearance. I have linked you to an installation video for these snow chains. You will want to check with the dealership to make certain your Galant is able to have snow chains installed. If they recommend that chains are not to be used on your vehicle, I cannot safely recommend using them.

  • Recommended Ball Mount for 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander to Tow 2016 Scamp Trailer Level
  • For the height off the ground we measure from the top inside of the receiver tube to the ground. Then for a ball mount it sounds like you have an 8 inch rise which isn't quite tall enough. We have a couple of taller fixed mount options in the Draw-Tite Ball Mount - 9-3/4" Rise # 80248 and the Convert-A-Ball Ball Mount for 2" Hitches - 10-3/4" Rise # AMSC12 but that still won't get you to the exact height needed. The Convert-A-Ball option will get you close enough to be safe but the trailer...

  • Recommended Roof Rack And Carrier For Two Kayaks On 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer 5-Door Sportback
  • For your 2011 Lancer 5-door I recommend the Thule Roof Rack. You asked about the wind noise difference between square and aero crossbars and without a doubt the WingBar crossbars with the Thule roof rack are considerably quieter than any square bars on the market. On the Thule roof rack the WingBar crossbars have integrated T-slots that can be used for accessories and it also has rubber stripping in the T-slots with a textured surface that greatly reduces wind drag and noise. for this...

  • Will Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1964 for the 2003 Eclipse Spyder Fit 2005 Model Year
  • Only the manual transmission version of the 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder can be flat towed as is, however there are no base plates offered for your vehicle. I confirmed this with both Blue Ox and Roadmaster. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit that you referenced, part # BX1964 for the 2003 Eclipse Spyder, is not a fit for the 2005 model year. We cannot recommend using a base plate for a vehicle for which it was not intended. Your vehicle owner's manual will indicate if the vehicle can be dolly...

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  • Good news! I was able to look up in your owners manual your vehicle's capacities. Your gross vehicle weight rating is 4,343lbs, your vehicle capacity weight is 827lbs and your maximum roof capacity is 176lbs. You can also look at the sticker in the driver's side front door jam. The sticker should list the GCWR, gross combined weight rating which represents the max weight of the tow vehicle + the trailer. If you subtract the weight of the vehicle (curb weight plus weight of passengers...

  • Replacement Shank Assembly 8880580 Fit on Older Yakima HoldUp Hitch Bike Rack
  • Thank you for the photo of your older Yakima hitch bike rack for which you want to confirm the fit of replacement shank/tongue assembly # 8880580. Yakima confirmed the fit of this part on your rack. You may also need Hitch Bolt # 8890200 to secure the shank to your hitch. I also went to our warehouse and took a number of measurements that should give you what you need to verify that this part will work on your rack. The linked photo indicates the hole diameters, hole spacing and inside...

  • How to Install Trailer Wiring on a 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor Pulling a Boat Trailer with a 5-Way
  • Yes, the fifth wire on your boat trailer is most likely a reverse lock-out solenoid for the surge brakes so that you can reverse your trailer without the brakes activating. I would recommend you install this Curt T-Connector # C56039 on your 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor (instructions attached) and then cut the 4-way off of the harness and then wire up a Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM47900 by function to the wires that are now exposed from the # C56039 to the # HM47900....

  • Can 2008 Mitsubishi Raider 2WD be Flat Towed with Driveshaft Disconnect
  • If you have a rear driveshaft disconnect on your 2008 Mitsubishi Raider 2WD it can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. You could use the base plate kit part # 52276-1 that you referenced. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For...

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander with Tow Package
  • Since you have the factory tow package on your 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander the trailer wiring kit you'll want is the T-One part # 118277. I recommend this kit because it plugs right into the factory trailer wiring connector your vehicle has at the rear of it and also because it has our most reliable converter box of all of the kits we offer. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Rack on a 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
  • I can help you figure out which hitch and bike rack you will need to support your 4-bike capacity on your 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander. You are correct, a Class I hitch is only capable of supporting the weight of 2 bikes, even if the bike rack is a 4-bike because your limited by your lowest rated capacity which would be your hitch. I would recommend going with the Class II Curt # C12293 over the Class I Hidden Hitch # 60824. The Curt Class II will give you a maximum of 300lbs tongue weight...

  • As long as you keep the total weight of the carrier and all of its contents below the tongue weight capacity rating of the lowest rated item, carrier, hitch or vehicle, the Pro Series Solo Steel Cargo Carrier, # PS1040100, can be used in any 2 inch receiver hitch.

  • Ball Mount and Balls for a Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant
  • The Curt trailer hitch that fits your 2001 Mitsubishi Galant, # C11248, is meant to be used with ball mount # C45521 which can be used in the rise position (with the ball platform higher than the receiver opening). In this position it provides a 2-5/8 inch rise measured from the top of the receiver opening to the top of the ball platform. With Class I hitches like this you are supposed to use the ball mount specified by the hitch manufacturer or it can void the hitch warranty. For 1-7/8...

  • Can 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse V6 with 5-Speed Transmission be Flat Towed
  • I did some checking and it looks like your 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse V6 with a 5 speed can be flat towed as-is. At this time though we only have base plate kits that fit the Spyder/convertible versions of your vehicle. For that you'd want the Blue Ox kit part # BX1964 that you referenced. You'll need a tow bar which the part # BX7420 would be what I recommend as it's very easy to use and also comes with safety cables. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to...
