Expert Answers about Scion
- Can the Tongue Weight of a Vehicle Be Increased
- I may have a solution for you to haul your TVs, but there is no way for the tongue weight of a vehicle to be increased. To start, the tongue weight refers to the amount of weight that can be added to the frame of the vehicle safely, so there isn't a way to add to that capacity.
With that said, the Curt # C11487 would be a great hitch for your 2006 Scion xB because of the durable powder coating that Curt hitches come with. Once you've got the hitch, you would need to get a small utility...
view full answer... - Will Rhino Rack RMCB Cargo Basket fit Inno Square Crossbars
- You bet they will! The Rhino Rack Cargo Basket, part # RMCB will fit crossbars as large as 3-1/2 inches wide x 1-1/2 inches tall. Your Inno # INB117 crossbars are only 1-1/4 inches wide x 7/8 of an inch tall, so they'll fit perfectly with room to spare.
I've linked you to a product demonstration video featuring the Rhino Rack # RMCB cargo basket.

- I don't think it would hurt anything to reinstall that tow hook on your 2016 Scion iM but at the same time I cannot recommend an installation that is different than what the instructions indicate. There is the chance that the thickness of that tow hook would make it so the bolts are not long enough to install properly and hold the hitch on which is why I advise against it.
That tow hook is used to secure the vehicle during transport from the assembly line to the dealership and can be used...

- We di bit gave a hitch that will fit your Scion Tc with center exhaust. We do have trunk mounted bike rakes like the Yakima HangOut 2 # Y02637 if you need to carry bikes or can even set you up with a roof rack to carry cargo if that would help.

- You can carry an extension ladder on your 2013 Scion xB with the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack, but there are a few factors you will want to take into consideration. Once this roof rack is installed, you will have a crossbar spread of 45 inches. The crossbar spread is the distance from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar.
The most important factor to consider is the weight of the ladder. The Yakima Q-Tower crossbars have a weight capacity of 165 lbs, however,...

- For your 2007 Honda Fit base model we have the Draw Tite hitch part # 24776 as a confirmed fit but the Curt # C11058 is not a fit for the non-Sport models. For trailer wiring too you'd need the part # 118420.
Then for a ball mount # 3593 and hitch balls # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball.
view full answer... - How Does LED Clearance Light part # STL79RB Wire to Trailer Wiring that Uses 2 Wires
- Your current taillights are grounding through the mounting hardware which is why there's on two wires and the LED Clearance light part # STL79RB instead grounds with the included white wire. So what you'd need to do is run the white wire to the mounting hardware of your trailer frame and you'd be set. Or you can run the white wire back to the ground circuit of the trailer's wiring.
view full answer... - Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier Recommendation for a 2011 Scion tC
- Hitch mount cargo carriers are not tested to fit to specific vehicles. Instead, they are designed to work with specific classes of trailer hitches. The Carpod Walled Cargo Carrier, # M2205, that you referenced was designed to work with Class III and Class IV trailer hitches with a 2 inch receiver opening.
I have some options available for you, however, I do not recommend using the Carpod carrier with your 2011 Scion tC. All of the trailer hitches available for the tC are Class I trailer...
view full answer... - Can Underbody Panel Be Left In Place After Installation of Curt # C11491 on 2010 Scion xD
- When Curt did the test fittings, they saw that it would be fairly difficult to modify the panel so it would fit around the hitch. Therefore, they haven't tested how to trim the panel.
The purpose of the underbody panel is to smooth and direct the airflow passing under the car while it's moving down the road, reducing some turbulence.
Leaving the panel off will not harm anything, although leaving the panel off might have a very small negative effect on the aerodynamics of the vehicle.

view full answer... - Recommended Rooftop Cargo Carrier for 2006 Scion TC
- The choice between a cargo box or basket will depend in part on what items you are transporting.
A roof mounted cargo box will keep your items out of the elements, whereas a basket would need an additional cargo bag to keep your items safe and dry.
For odd shaped items, a basket is better because it does not have the dimension restrictions of a box. A basket is easier to store should you decide to remove it from the roof. Most people just leave the basket on the roof. A cargo box will...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Primus Brake Controller Displaying SH Code
- The SH code of a Primus brake controller # TK90160 indicates that there is a short on the brake output circuit. This means that some where between the brake controller and the brake assemblies of your trailer the circuit is shorting out to something metal. Commonly this is due to corrosion on the trailer connectors. This can be fixed by hitting the connector with some fine grit sandpaper.
Aside from that you will need to trace the wiring from the brake controller basically back to the...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Cargo Carrier Recommendation for 2005 Scion xB
- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C11487 is designed to fit your 2005 Scion xB. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening.
We do have cargo carriers that feature an 1-1/4 inch opening and are compatible with a Class l trailer hitch but MaxxTow does not offer a cargo carrier that will work.
I recommend a carrier like part # 63155. This is a Reese carrier and the inside dimensions measure 47 inches long and 20 inches wide with rails. This carrier has a weight...

- It sounds like you're looking for a ball mount to use on a 2005 Scion xB and if that's the case then we do have some good options for you but it would be best to determine what trailer hitch is used first. We currently only offer one option; the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11487 and in which case you would use the Curt Class II Drawbar part # C45521. The Curt Class II Drawbar would then require the Curt Hitch Pin and Clip part # F-4 and the 1-7/8" Hitch Ball part # C40001 or 2"...

- For your 2006 Scion XB, I recommend starting with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11487. This is a custom fit and will use ball mount # C45521, along with pin and clip # F-4 and ball # A-82. The wiring harness for your vehicle is the Curt # C56030, which will connect to the factory wiring behind the trim panels in the cargo area on each side. Then you simply need your small trailer with a 2 inch coupler to match the hitch ball and you'll be good to go.

- We do have a trailer hitch that will fit your 2012 Scion xD, but the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch # 24828 is not a compatible fit.
I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11134 which is custom made for your vehicle. This receiver is a Class I 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch with a weight capacity of 2000 lbs and a tongue weight of 200 lbs. It features bolt-on installation with no welding required. I have included a link to the installation instructions as well.

- Since you are interested in the Yakima LoadWarrior Cargo Basket with Extension, # Y07070-74, the roof rack that I recommend for your 2005 Scion xB is the Yakima BaseLine Tower Roof Rack which consists of the following parts.
58 Inch Round Crossbars # Y00409
BaseLine Towers # Y28TR
RoundBar Adapter # Y03536

- I may have a solution for you but Rhino-Rack does not have a 3-bike hanging hitch mount bike rack.
Since you're going to be carrying three bikes you'll need the Class II Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12490. It's confirmed to fit your 2015 Scion xB and a Class I hitch cannot carry more than two bikes.
With the Curt hitch you will also need the support strap # 18050. It's required by Curt when using the hitch for any non-trailer loads like a bike rack.
For a 3-bike rack I recommend...
view full answer... - Recommended Anti-Rattle for 1-1/4 inch Trailer Hitch Receiver With a Cargo Carrier
- The best thing to use would be an anit-rattle kit like the Curt Anti-Rattle Kit, part # F-315. You will use this in place of the pin and clip that you are using now to hold your Pro Series Cargo Carrier # 63155 in your receiver more securely by reducing the play.
Another option that might offer some more peace of mind is the SilentACT Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock, part # SHP2082. This will not only take the play out of your current setup, but it will also lock your cargo carrier...
