Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring Harness and Ball Mount For a 2008 Scion XB Release Trim
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12490 is confirmed by Curt to fit all trims of your 2008 Scion xB including the Release. They were unable to confirm the fitment with your Ken Style body kit but said as long as it doesn't lower the bodywork you shouldn't have to do any trimming. Curt recommends using the Ball Mount # C45521 for your Scion. This will need to be paired with either a 1-7/8" Ball # A-80 or 2" Hitch Ball # A-82 to match your trailer coupler. For the trailer lighting the...

Fitting SportRack Cargo Net on the Kuat Mini Skinny Roof Top Cargo Basket
The hooks on the Yakima Stretch Net, part # Y07018, might fit over the large outside bars of your Kuat Mini Skinny MSR1B. If they don't, you can instead just hook it to the smaller bars that run across the basket and it'll fit just fine.

Will SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box Fit a 2009 Scion xB with Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack
If the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series roof rack you have for your 2009 Scion xB has the Euro-style square bars, # RREB137B, then the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black Item # SR7018 will fit for sure. If you have the Vortex bars, # RRVA137B-2, then it will likely fit though it will be a little tight and you may have to move the position of one of the crossbars a smidge.

Will the Curt Cargo Carrier Part # C18145 Fit a 2005 Scion xB
In order make sure the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18145 will fit your 2005 Scion xB you will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper. As long as this distance does not exceed 7-1/4" then it will work well for you. If you do not already have a trailer hitch then you will need one to use the cargo carrier and for that I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11487 along with the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap part # 18050. There...

Is Swagman Chinook Bike Rack Compatible with Class I Hitch and 50 lbs E-Bike
The Swagman Chinook 2-Bike Platform Rack # S64683 will work great for your application because it is compatible with a Class I hitch and it has a max rating of 45 lbs per bike. When you remove the battery from your E-Bike (which is recommended to reduce stress put on the battery) this will reduce the weight of your E-Bike to at least that 45 lb limit, it not put you under it. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

How to Tell if Smittybilt Tow Bar Will Fit With Roadmaster Base Plate Kit on 2006 Scion xB
I have a way that you can check to see if your Smittybilt tow bar is compatible with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1170-6 for your 2006 Scion xB, but I don't know exactly off-hand. The distance between the insides of the brackets that you'd connect your tow bar to measure just over 2" and this base plate kit takes a 3/4" diameter pin like part # RM-910029. If your tow bar matches with those dimensions then it will fit with this base plate kit. For a complete flat towing...

Dolly Towing a Scion XB with Automatic Transmission
You can tow your 2014 Scion XB with an automatic transmission but it must be dolly towed. The front wheels will need to be off the ground while towing. I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 for your Scion. When not needed it folds up to nearly half of its normal length saving you space when not being used. The inclusion of surge activated disc brakes means that you won't have to install any additional brake controller inside your motorhome.

Correct Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2006 Scion xB
The only available trailer hitch we offer for a 2006 Scion xB is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11487 which is a direct bolt-on fit with no drilling required. This trailer hitch has a class I, 1-1/4" receiver which can be used for towing (if applicable) or hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers.

Trailer Hitch Fit for 2013 Scion xB Release Series
You are correct that one of the hitches offered for the 2013 Scion xB, Draw-Tite Class I hitch # 24815, does not fit on the Release series. The other hitch offered is the Curt Class II model # C12490 and I confirmed with one of my technical contacts at Curt that it is compatible with the Release series version of the 2013 xB. Installation instructions and a video showing a 2014 xB are both linked for your reference. This hitch will be compatible with Class II accessories that fit its 1-1/4-inch...

Comparison of Curt and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receivers on 2010 Scion xB
I can't be completely sure but the hitch in the video review of the Curt Cargo Carrier # C18145, that I've attached, looks be the Curt Class II Receiver Hitch # C12490. There are only two hitch receivers available for your 2010 Scion xB, and the other, the Draw-Tite Class I # 24815 does not have a collar at the opening of the receiver tube like the one used in the video. The Curt is a Class II and has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds with 350 pounds of tongue weight. The Draw-Tite Class...

Trailer Hitch Needed to Carry 2 Bikes with a 2006 Scion xB
You are correct that an adapter will need to be used to carry an accessory when the (discontinued) Draw-Tite Invisi-Hitch 28501 is installed on your 2006 Scion xB . This is due to the vertical configuration of the hitch receiver. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11487 will have less clearance from where the hitch receiver is located, but since your bike rack will install directly into the hitch receiver you will not see as much play. Since the Curt warranty requires a support strap,...

Recommendation for Carrying a Pronto M91 Electric Wheelchair with a 2006 Scion xB
With the 2006 Scion xB having a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds, I am going to suggest a different option to pull the Pronto M91 electric wheelchair. You will need to start the same way with a trailer hitch, like the Curt # C11487, but you will need a few more parts to complete this set up. From here you will need a ball mount, like # C45521, a pin/clip to keep it in the hitch, # F-4, and a 2" ball, # A-82, to install in the ball mount. You will also need a wiring harness,...

Can Roof Rack Be Installed with Larger Distance Between Crossbars than What Instructions Advise
According to Rhino Rack, the crossbars should be spaced 27-9/16 inches apart, center on center as shown in the provided diagram. Rhino rack chooses the specific mounting points for the crossbars based on where the strongest points of the roof are located. If you were to install the roof rack at a different distance apart, your rack would have an unknown weight capacity which could damage the rack or the vehicle roof if you unintentionally overloaded the rack. If there was something specific...

Can Tire Chains Be Used on 2008 Scion xB with Larger Aftermarket Wheels and Tires
The online edition of the owner's manual for the 2008 Scion xB indicates on page 251 that S-Class chains can be installed on the front tires only. It further states that cable and V-bar type chains cannot be used. This information is based on Toyota's assumption that you have stock wheels and the stock 205/55-16 tires on the car. Aftermarket products such as larger wheels and wider tires can prevent safe use of chains because the increased diameter and width of your tires will reduce the...

Availability of 4 Bike Hitch Bike Rack for a 2009 Scion xB
I have three hitches available for a 2009 Scion xB and they are all 1-1/4 inch size hitches. Two of the hitches are Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches that can only carry a maximum of two bikes. The CURT Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 12490, is a Class II hitch which can carry 4 bikes, but since the CURT hitch is a 1-1/4 inch hitch and the Tow Ready 4 Bike Hitch Rack, part # 63124, you have referenced is for a 2 inch hitch, it will not fit on your Scion xB. If you use the CURT # 12490 hitch...

Trailer Hitch For 2011 Scion xB Release
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12490 is a custom fit for the 2011 Scion xB base model. The hitch fits this generation of the xB. The Release series center exhaust is on the 2010 model but we still don't list this as a confirmed fit because of the body kit on the 2011 Release. Your 2011 will mount the same way but you would need to modify your body kit by trimming to accommodate the receiver tube. If you're looking to carry a bike rack or cargo I would get a roof rack. This will be...

Will the FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 fit a 2005 Scion xB
I checked with Yakima and the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2005 Scion xB. The Fullback # Y02634 comes with locks for the rack and the locks. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Yakima Tube Top Adapter Bar # Y02531 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point.

Will a Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Scion xB fit a 2008 Scion xB
The hitches that are built to fit a 2005 Scion xB will not fit a 2008 Scion xB. The 2007 xB brought a new body that included some frame changes which is why the hitches for the 2004-2006 models will not fit the newer models. For your 2008 Scion xB you can use one of three hitches: Curt part # 12490 or Draw-Tite part # 24815. I have added links to these hitches below as well as to a video of the Curt hitch being installed on a 2008 xB and the instructions for the Draw-Tite part.
