• Maximum Trailer Hitch Size for a 2012 Toyota Corolla and Recommended Hitch Cargo Carrier
• The maximum trailer hitch size your 2012 Toyota Corolla can accommodate is Class I. The one I recommend is the Draw-Tite # 24913. You will be able to fit Class-I accessories with the 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. I have attached an installation video for you to look at. I recommend checking your owners manual to verify the capacities of your 2012 Corolla. From what I could find, it looks like your Corolla has a maximum tongue weight of 100 pounds and maximum towing capacity of 1,000 pounds....

• How to Measure to Determine if a Bike Rack Will Clear the Bumper on a 2007 Toyota Corolla
• Measuring for clearance for a bike rack is easy. All you have to do is measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight back to the distance required to clear the rear bumper. I have included a link to an FAQ article that will help. If the distance that you come up with is less than 4-1/2 inches then the Thule Aero # TH9042PRO will fit with no problem. That is the distance from the center of the bike rack hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the rack that could be a fit issue (the...

• Cargo Carrier Weight and Tongue Capacity for 2010 Toyota Corolla
• The 19X 47 Curt Carrier # C18110, weighs 30 pounds. Yes you must factor in the weight of the cargo carrier and cargo and any items loaded behind the rear axle of the car. You also need to check your vehicle maximum tongue weight rating and use the lowest maximum rating of the vehicle, hitch or cargo carrier as the weight that can be carried in the receiver hitch. If you have a 200 pound max tongue weight rating and no items loaded in the vehicle behind the rear axle then you could carry...

• What is the Actual Rise of Curt Class I Ball Mount # C45028
• Curt measures rise differently and everyone else just goes by the specs Curt provides. All of our rise and drop measurements are taken the same way (unless otherwise noted). Curt estimates rise and drop. We measure from the top of the receiver opening to provide the exact. So from the top of the receiver opening to the top of the ball platform it is 5-3/8 inches when ball mount # C45028 is in the rise position and 6 inches in the drop position. Like you said that is the highest available...

• Can Harmar Mobility Lift be Used with a 2008 Toyota Corolla
• It looks like the max towing capacity for your 2008 Toyota Corolla is 1,500 lbs which means your max tongue weight would be 150 lbs. As long as the Harmar Mobility Lift you are looking at is rated for a Class I trailer hitch and the weight of the lift plus the weight of your scooter doesn't exceed 150 lbs you should be safe to use the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24913 for this application. Aside from that you'll need to use a trailer to transport your scooter. Let me...

• Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Allow 2016 Toyota Corolla to Tow John Deere S100
• From what I have found, the John Deere S100 weighs 414 lbs without fuel. The Curt # C11265 has a max gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs so that will not be a problem. However, you will want to consult your owners manual since you will be limited by the capacity of your vehicle. You will also need to account for the weight of the trailer you use. In addition to the hitch you will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118405. This plugs into the connection points in your rear cargo area...

There are two hitch pin holes in the 1-1/4 inch shank portion of the cover. The first is 2-1/8 inches from the back of the skull and the second is 2-3/4 inches.

• Available Trailer Hitch Class for 2017 Toyota Corolla
• Hitch manufacturers produce hitches of the size, class and weight capacity that more or less match the vehicle's own limits. For example, it would not do any good to bolt a 500-lb-rated hitch onto a vehicle whose capacity is only 200-lbs because much of the hitch's capacity would be wasted. In a multi-part system the lowest-rated part determines overall capacity, like the weakest-link-in-the-chain idea. Only light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I hitches like Curt # C11265 are made for your 2017...

• Receiver Tube Length of Curt C11265 Class I Hitch

• How to Maximize Cargo Carrying Capacity on 2010 Toyota Corolla
• It is okay if a rooftop cargo box overhangs the windshield slightly (it gives you some relief from sun glare) and it is also okay if it extends far to the rear as long as you don't mind the possibility of the box rear edge interfering with full opening of the trunk. What will matter is that the weight of very large cargo boxes such as the 21-cubic-foot Yakima Skybox 21 # Y07337 is substantial: 62-lbs empty. Your Yakima roof rack is another 15-lbs or so. You're now pushing close to 80-lbs...

• The bolts included with the Curt Trailer Hitch # 11227 are M12 - 1.25 x 40mm hex. All of the hardware included with this hitch is listed in the installation instructions, see link. On older vehicles it is a good idea to clean the threads with a wire brush, see video demonstration. The Battery Post and Terminal Cleaner, # DW00254, is a good choice for this purpose. Since your vehicle is a 1992 model, you may need to use a tap or make one. Using a identically sized bolt you can create your...

• Weight Capacity Of The Aries Oval Nerf Bars # AA4445024
• Generally running boards like the Aries Oval Nerf Bars w/ Custom Installation Kit # AA4445024 have 300lb static weight capacity. Realistically though the running boards are going to be stronger than the rocker panel that they mount to so the capacity of the rocker panel is the better thing to check.
