Expert Answers about Toyota Avalon


  • What Kayak Lift Assist Option Can I Use On My 2013 Toyota Avalon
  • You need to install a roof rack on your 2013 Toyota Avalon. The Thule Hullavator is compatible with your vehicle. Unfortunately, any roof rack for your vehicle will clamp to the frame of the vehicle. The roof rack that I recommend for your 2013 Toyota Avalon will consist of the following: Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00422 BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, part # Y28TR BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers...

  • Is Replacement Side Mirror KS70671T For a 2014 Toyota Avalon Available In A Color Other Than Black?
  • The cover included with the K-Source Replacement Side Mirror - Electric/Heat w Signal, Memory - Textured Black - Passenger Side # KS70671T you were looking at for your 2014 Toyota Avalon is indeed black, but there are a few options. Option one is to carefully remove the already painted cover from your current mirror if it is in good shape, and not use the included black cover. If your current cover is damaged or in bad shape the only option would be to have the cover painted pearl white...

  • Why Does Curt Trailer Hitch for 2008 Toyota Avalon have Higher Towing Capacity than Vehicle
  • The answer to that is our manufacturers design a hitch to fit the vehicle and then do the best they can to make it as strong as possible and rate it independently from the vehicle. This is why we end up with higher rated hitches like the Curt # C11427 than vehicles they fit like your 2008 Toyota Avalon. You will need to to abide by the lowest rated component in the setup as the overall towing capacity which in your case seems to be the vehicle.

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2007 Toyota Avalon
  • The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info. If you need a hitch as well you would also need the Curt part # C11427 which is a confirmed fit, and the stabilizer strap # 18050. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid
  • We might have a solution for you, but it is going to depend on a couple things. First it will depend on the weight of the bike you plan to carry and the tongue weight capacity of your 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid. For a trailer hitch the Draw Tite part # 36540 has been confirmed to fit your 2016 Toyota Camry Hybrid. This has a 300 lb capacity. You would need to look into a carrier that fits 1-1/4 inch bike racks as we no longer carry any.

  • Thule Apex Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Toyota Avalon
  • The Thule Apex 2 Bike Carrier # TH9024XT that you referenced would be an excellent choice for a bike rack for your 2008 Toyota Avalon with a hitch with a 1-1/4 inch opening. This rack features anti-sway cradles that prevent bikes from banging into each other while being transported, and an easily operated tilt feature to allow access to the rear of your 2008 Toyota Avalon. I attached a review video for this product for you to view, as well as links for some helpful FAQ articles.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Avalon
  • The Draw-Tite Class II 1-1/4-Inch Trailer Hitch # 36540 is a compatible fit for your 2013 Toyota Avalon. While the receiver tube will be visible beneath your bumper, it should not protrude. There is no welding required to install this item, but some drilling may be required as well as the temporary lowering of the exhaust. I have provided links to the installation instructions for the hitch. I have also included a link to our FAQ page on trailer hitches. If you need trailer wiring for...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2007 Toyota Avalon
  • For your 2007 Toyota Avalon, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11427 is a great choice. When used with ball mount # C45022 and hitch ball # 19258 the U-Haul trailer will work. For your wiring, I recommend the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit with 4-Pole Connector (Includes Tester) # 119178KIT. I've attached a video to assist. This combination will allow you to haul a trailer up to 2,000 lbs max when fully loaded.

  • Does the Cut Hitch C11427 Work with the 1up Quick Rack
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11427 is a 1 1/4" receiver tube opening if your 1up has the same shank size it will work out perfectly. The hitch is a Class I so it is limited to transporting up to two bikes at a time. I've linked a video for you to check out of the installation process.

  • Recommended Trunk-Mounted Bike Racks for a 2006 Toyota Avalon
  • The two racks that Thule confirms to fit on your 2006 Toyota Avalon are the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier # TH45JV (instructions attached), and the Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier # TH910XT (instructions and video attached) I recommend the OutWay rack, as it is easy to install and remove. The OutWay includes locks to secure the rack and the bike to deter theft. To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is...

  • Recommended Hitch Expander that Extends Past Bumper on 2011 Toyota Avalon
  • We do have a couple of options that should work well to extend the hitch receiver out far enough to clear the rear bumper on your 2011 Toyota Avalon, while also providing an expanded 2 inch receiver for hitch-mounted accessories. The Brophy Hitch Adapter # HTAD is a really nice product that will convert the 1-1/4 inch receiver to a 2 inch opening. It features a distance of 7-1/4 inches from the hitch pin hole to the new pin hole on the 2 inch receiver. You can take a quick measurement...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2014 Toyota Avalon
  • I checked with Thule and they do not have a roof rack confirmed as a fit for your 2014 Toyota Avalon so there isn't a way to use your Thule roof rack components on your vehicle. The closest option would be the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK361 which is a similar square bar style rack.

  • Recumbent Trike Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Toyota Avalon
  • We have a solution for you. The Hollywood Racks Trike Carrier part # HR1000Z-R-TRKADP will carry a recumbent trike and can fit the Class II hitches like what are available for your 2014 Toyota Avalon. For a hitch you then would want the Draw Tite part # 36540 which is a confirmed fit. Carrying a bike rack is different from towing a trailer so you might check with Toyota to see if they recommend carrying a bike rack.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for Transporting a Ladder on My 2000 Toyota Avalon
  • Since you will be using a ladder rack on your crossbars, I recommend using a through-crossbar style to avoid the pain of having to lift the ladder over components on the end of the crossbars when loading/unloading from the side. For that system, I recommend the following for your 2000 ToyotaAvalon with a bare roof: - Inno Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long # INXB138-2 - Inno Through Feet # INXS250 - Custom Fit Kit # INK202 The advantage of these crossbars is that you can simply...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2014 Toyota Avalon to Carry 4 Bikes
  • I can help you find a 4 bike rack for your 2014 Toyota Avalon, but we do not have a list of all of the cars and smaller SUV that have Class III trailer hitches available for them. The trailer hitches we offer for your Avalon are all Class II trailer hitches with 1-1/4 inch receiver shanks. The hitch I recommend for you is the Draw-Tite Class II Frame Receiver Hitch # 36540, because it will work well with a bike rack and does not require the use of a stabilization strap with non-trailer...

  • Recommended Aero-Style Roof Rack for a 2018 Toyota Avalon with Bare Roof
  • I have a great solution for you, but unfortunately Thule does not make any roof rack systems that will fit your 2018 Toyota Avalon. Although, for a similar design and high standard of quality manufacturing, I recommend the following Yakima roof rack setup: - Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 # Y00425 - BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 # Y28TR - BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06130 - BaseClip Fit...

  • Recommended Trunk-Mount Single Bike Rack for 2017 Toyota Avalon
  • I do have a solution for you, however we do not currently have a single bike trunk-mount rack available that is confirmed to fit your 2017 Toyota Avalon. For a cost-efficient but sturdy 2-bike trunk rack, I recommend looking at theSaris Bones 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # SA805BL. This is an easy-to-use carrier that will hold 1 or 2 bikes at 35 pounds each. I recommend adding a cable lock like the etrailer.com # e98891 to secure your bike to the carrier and the Thule Passive...

  • Recommended 4-way Connector For 2000 Toyota Avalon
  • I have another option for you, but unfortunately there is not a custom fit vehicle wiring harness available for your 2000 Toyota Avalon. Instead I recommend the 4-Pole Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # C59496 which will splice into your factory wiring, and will have a power wire run directly to the battery of your Avalon with the included fuse to protect your factory wiring from damage.

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
  • I checked with Thule and yes the Thule Gateway Bike Rack part # TH88VR that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2013 Toyota Hybrid Avalon. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch on a 2015 Toyota Avalon
  • The bike rack that I recommend using with the Curt Trailer Hitch # C12107 and Stabilizer Strap # 18050 on your 2015 Toyota Avalon is the Thule Camber # TH9058 for a few key reasons. The first reason is that hanging racks are lighter than platform racks (this one only weighs about 28 lbs) so moving it around and installing/removing it from your trailer hitch will be easier than some of the heavier bike racks. The second reason is that the cradles are set in place on the arms and are spaced...
