Expert Answers about Toyota Corolla


  • How to Upgrade from a 16k Fifth Wheel Hitch to a 20k Hitch
  • Yes, as long as you have a set of industry standard rails in the bed of your truck (see pic for more info), all you would need to upgrade to a 20k plus would be to replace your current hitch with one like the Reese 20k Fifth Wheel Hitch part # RP30033 that you referenced. You will want to check the owners manual for your truck to be sure that your vehicle is capable of towing a trailer that weighs what you are planning to tow.

  • Floor Mats for 2011 Toyota Corolla That is Not Equipped with Heating Vents Under Front Seats
  • I spoke with my contact at WeatherTech and the mats that would work for your 2011 Toyota Corolla that is not equipped with the heating vents under the front seats is the All-Weather Front Floor Mats, # WTW96 and # WTW80. Although it seems that you are very certain that your 2011 Toyota Corolla is not equipped with the heating vents under the front seats, my WeatherTech contact explained that since the vents are tucked up under the seats, many are unaware that they are even there.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Accessories for Light Duty Towing w/ 2010 Toyota Corolla
  • For light duty towing with your 2010 Corolla, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24913. The hitch has the same capacity, but is less expensive. The hitch has a 2000lb towing/200lb tongue weight capacity, but according to the owner's manual, you'll be limited to a 1500lb towing capacity. I'd recommend you confirm the towing capacity for yourself by consulting the owner's manual or Toyota. To complete your towing set up, you'll also need the following: Ball mount, part #...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2006 and 2021 Toyota Corolla to Use with Thule Hullavator Pro
  • I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream roof rack system for your 2006 Toyota Corolla because it will be long enough to accommodate the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898, and you'll be able to use the same crossbars and leg kit for your 2021 Toyota Corolla. 50" JetStream Crossbars - Black # Y00425 BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR Fit Kits - # Y06136 and # Y06148 Lock Core Kit - # Y07204 (optional) Then once you get the 2021 Corolla you just need the Fit Kits # Y06135 and # Y06151. Yakima...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Corolla
  • For carrying a bike rack with a hitch installed on a vehicle I recommend going with the Draw Tite hitches instead of the Curt as Curt requires you to use a stabilizer strap any time you carry a non-supported load like a bike rack like the Swagman part # S64670 that you referenced. So for your 2013 Toyota Corolla you would want the part # 24913 which is a confirmed fit and then for the 2010 Camry you would want the # 36416 which you referenced. The ball mount then that you would want is...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Corolla S with Spoiler
  • I believe that the Yakima FullBack # Y02633 should fit over the spoiler on your 2013 Toyota Corolla S just fine. We had a chance to install the 2-bike version, part # Y02634, on a 2014 and a 2018 Corolla and there looks to be enough room for a smaller spoiler under the bike rack. I'm attaching the installation video on the '14 as well as a side profile shot of the '18 that you can check out. Aside from this we would need to install a roof rack on your Corolla and carry your bikes that way...

  • Catalytic Converter Comparison/Recommendation for a 2003 Toyota Corolla
  • Both part numbers you referenced are confirmed catalytic converters for your 2003 Toyota Corolla. The difference is that the part # MF49461 is a higher grade converter. It is part of the OEM Grade line of converters from Magnaflow. OEM Grade converters are specially formulated with a heavier wash coat and loaded with twice the amount of precious metals (platinum, palladium, rhodium) to provide a much stronger coverage. OEM Grade is recommended for vehicles that have: • High Mileage •...

  • Trailer Hitch and Way To Carry 4 Bikes Recommendation for a 2014 Toyota Corolla
  • The thing about Class I hitches is that they can not carry more than 2 bikes at a time as the additional leverage that the 3rd and 4th bikes would put on the hitch would be too much stress. This is due to the longer distance from the hitch that those bikes would be carried. For carrying 2 bikes the Draw Tite hitch part # 24913 would be the best choice as it does not require the stabilizer strap like the Curt and does not come with a ball mount like the Hidden Hitch. The most popular bike...

  • Recommended Option for Carrying Two Bikes on 2012 Toyota Corolla
  • You would indeed need to remove the bike rack in order to open the trunk. Having the rack in place would physically prevent the trunk from opening, if you were to partially undo the rack enough so the trunk would open, the extra weight of the rack could dent the trunk lid if you slammed the trunk, so it's best to simply remove the rack. Because of this, if you DO use a trunk mounted rack you'll want to use one that installs and removes super quick and easy, like the Thule OutWay # TH45JV...

  • Will Rhino Rack Roof Rack for 2014 Toyota Corolla Allow Sunroof to Open
  • I looked up the sunroof of your 2014 Toyota Corolla Sport and since it retracts into the roof and does not angle up it would not interfere with a roof rack. The Rhino Rack ROC25 part # RR76QR would be a really great option for a flush bar style rack with aero bars that is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.

  • Light Kit and License Plate Bracket Recommendation for the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier
  • For the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 I recommend using the Light Kit # 20174 with 2 of the Mounting Bracket # BK70BB and the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light with Bracket # LPL56CB. You will need to connect the black wire from the license plate light to the brown wire of the wiring harness that comes with the light kit. You may also need an extension like part # 9653P to reach the 4-Way Flat connector on your vehicle. Please note that there isn't a light kit that is designed...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2014 Toyota Corolla
  • The best trailer hitch for your 2014 Toyota Corolla is the Curt part # C11265 as it installs easily, is well made and designed, and has great capacities for a lighter duty vehicle like your Corolla. For a bike rack you really can't beat the value of the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z as it's very well made and stable and by far beats anything in it's price range.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Cargo Carrier for 2013 Toyota Corolla
  • For your 2013 Toyota Corolla, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Fit Kit # DK152. This is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. I also recommend the metal lock cores # RRVA-LEC4 for when you use the T-channel mounting for accessories that have that mount that fits in the slot on top of your crossbars instead of wrapping around them. Then for your rooftop cargo carrier, I recommend the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2022 Toyota Carolla
  • Both Draw-Tite ( # 24983) and Curt ( # C34UR) offer Class I hitches that will work on the 2022 Toyota Corolla sedan. Both hitches share the same capacity, are visually almost identical and would install in the same manner, so you could choose either without issue. I'd personally choose the Curt model, because Curt manufactures their hitches in the US. If you'll be doing some light duty towing with the hitch, you'll also need a # 118810 trailer wiring harness, a # C45221 ball...

  • How To Use Blue Ox Tow Bar On 1999 Toyota Corolla
  • The only base plate kit offered for a 1999 Toyota Corolla is the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 1150-1. That said, if you have a Blue Ox Tow Bar you need to use you can do so with the Blue Ox Tow Bar to Roadmaster Base Plate Adapter part # BX88178. For wiring, the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 is the best option and my strong recommendation. I have installed many flat-tow wiring harnesses and this one is always my go to.

  • Receiver Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Toyota Corolla LE
  • You are correct, the Curt and Draw-Tite receiver hitches all look very similar and also offer the same weight capacities. The biggest difference between the two brands of receiver hitches for your 2008 Toyota Corolla is the fact that the Curt, # C11265, requires the use of stabilizing straps, # 18050, for all non-trailer loads like bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. The Draw-Tite brand does not require...

  • Recommended Roof Top Cargo Bag for a 2006 Toyota Corolla S 4-Door with a Bare Roof
  • The Rightline Sport 3 XL roof top cargo bag # RL100S30 will fit a variety of vehicles and is a very popular option. It has an extra-large carrying capacity of 18 cubic feet and dimensions of 48-inches long x 40-inches wide x 19-inches tall. Based on my research of your 2006 Toyota Corrola S, you have a vehicle width of 66.9 inches. I would recommend measuring your roof length and width just to be sure. To help protect your vehicle's roof from scratches, I recommend a non-skid roof protection...

  • Roof Rack for 2010 Toyota Corolla Similar to Thule Square Bar Rack
  • Thule stopped offering the fit kit you mentioned for your 2010 Toyota Corolla which means that while we have other great roof racks that can be installed on your vehicle we do not have any Thule options. For a rack that is very similar to the Thule square bar racks we have the Inno part # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK593 that fits your vehicle. This rack actually has the exact same crossbar dimensions as the Thule square bars but at a much better price.
