  • Ground Clearance of Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack on 2002 Honda Accord While Its On Tow Dolly
  • I am unable to say how close the rack would be to the ground, but I can provide you with some dimensions and you can take some measurements. Starting at the hitch pin hole in your receiver, measure rearward 24 inches, then up 3 inches. This point will mark the extreme rearward edge of the bike rack, as shown in the photo I have edited for you. If you take a 24 inch long piece of wood like a piece of broomstick, and put it in the receiver opening with the end of it lined up with the hitch...

  • What is the Lightest Bike Rack Available for a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • The Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack part # S64670 weighs right around 33 lbs. This will actually be one of the lightest platform style bike racks we offer. It has a 3" raised shank which will help with ground clearance and it can be folded into itself for easy storage. If you would like to lock the bike rack to the vehicle then you can do so using part # S64029. If you would like to lock this bike rack to the vehicle then you can do so using part # ACC3250.

  • Is Ground Clearance on a 2008 Honda Accord Lost with Hitch Installation
  • The ground clearance you would have on your 2008 Honda Accord would be right at the same amount that you currently have as the hitch will hang right at the same height as your 2008 Honda Accord. I attached a couple pictures that show the relative height of the two. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. From the top of the hitch opening down to the ground measures 11-1/2 inches.

  • What Is The Height Of the Curt Receiver # C11496 From The Ground on a 2013 Honda Accord Sedan?
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11496 measured in at 10" to the top of the receiver from the ground when we installed it on a 2013 Honda Accord sedan at our shop. Be aware that this height can vary slightly as suspension systems do tend to sag over time. I have linked a video below that will help you see where this is measured from as well as what is involved for the installation. Also the hitch distance from the center of the pin hole to the rear of the bumper is 2". This will come...

  • Carrying 4 Bikes on A 2010 Honda Accord
  • There are only Class I Hitches available for the 2010 Honda Accord. The hitch manufacturers do testing for safety and have found that the 2010 Accord can only safely carry up to 200 pounds of tongue weight. The reason that only two bikes are recommended, on a hitch mounted bike rack, for Class I hitches is that the added torque applied to the hitch and vehicle frame will be too great for the setup, and will eventually if not immediately, cause damage to the hitch or the vehicle frame....

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 019 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid
  • To add a hitch to your 2019 Honda Accord Touring hybrid, you will need the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch item # 24972 you were looking at. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Honda with included hardware. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver and the only available option for the hybrid models.

  • Height Of The Thule Tracker II With Base
  • I reached out to my tech contact at Thule and the Replacement Railing Foot for Thule Tracker II Foot Pack # 753-2152 along with the base # 753-2149 will give you about a 7 inch height when combined. This will clear your 4 inch object with a little room to spare even if directly under the crossbar.

  • Actual Weight Carrying Capacity of Surco # C18110 Cargo Carrier Installed in Class I Receiver
  • When the weight of the shipping box is subtracted, the Surco # 52017 Cargo Carrier weighs 30 lbs. Since the Class I receiver on your 2009 Accord has a 200 lb tongue weight capacity, the 30 lbs would be deducted from the tongue weight capacity of the hitch. This would leave a capacity for the carrier of 170 lbs, which is still pretty respectable. You were right on the money.

  • What is the Length and Bar Spread of Rola Roof Rack 59757 for a 2010 Honda Accord
  • The bar spread of Rola roof rack 59757 is 27-1/2 inches (measured from the center of one bar to the center of the other bar). Because the vehicle is wider at one end, the bars are different lengths. One is 1,015mm or 39.9 inches long. The other bar is 985mm or 38.8 inches long. You can carry a 15 foot canoe on this rack provided that the canoe is within the capacity of the 2010- Honda Accord roof (check owners manual and/or Honda). For a canoe carrier I recommend the simple Yakima KeelOver,...

  • Can 2006 Honda Accord Hybrid Carry 2 Electric Bikes On Hitch Mounted Carrier
  • According to the owner's manual for your 2006 Honda Accord Hybrid, the maximum tongue weight is 100 lbs for your vehicle. The tongue weight would include the weight of the bikes along with the weight of any carrier you place in a receiver. With the combined weight of the bikes you said you just purchased at 97 lbs, we would not have any carriers available that would keep you under the maximum weight capacity. The weight of the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 2-Bike Carrier, part # HLY84FR...

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch for 2016 Honda Accord Have Enough Capacity for ATV Trailer
  • The Curt trailer hitch part # C11681 that you referenced has a 2,000 lb trailer weight capacity which means it would easily handle the weight of a 1,100 lb total trailer. Now I looked up the towing capacity of your 2016 Honda Accord which is rated separately from the hitch and it is only rated for towing up to 1,054 lbs so hopefully the weights you mentioned were overestimated.

  • Bolt Size Used for Installing Curt Hitch # C11681
  • The size of the install bolts that secure the Curt hitch part # C11681 to the rear of your 2015 Honda Accord are 7/16-14 x 1 1/4. These are included with the hitch as well as all of the other needed hardware to install the hitch. If for some reason you needed new hardware we can provide that if you order part number # RHK. I attached a picture that shows all of the included hardware plus an install video link for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Towing Capacity Of A 2015 Honda Accord EX-L With Class I Hitch
  • Per manufacturer's guidelines, the towing capacity of your 2015 Honda Accord EX-L with one passenger in the vehicle is rated at 1,000 lbs. whereas the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch is rated for a maximum 2,000 lbs. of gross trailer weight (GTW) and 200 lbs. of tongue weight (TW). Therefore you must abide by the lower of the two, being the car. As these capacities are well in-line with the trailer you plan to be hauling, there will be no warranty issues with this setup. I have attached an...

  • What Tire Pressure Should Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Trailer Tire with Galvanized Wheel # AM30030 Inflate To
  • With trailer tires you have to always keep them inflated to their max pressure to ensure the tire has it's full weight capacity and also to prevent heat build up. I know it's tempting to lower the psi to see if that helps the trailer's ride quality but you will end up with tire failure most likely if you do so. With the # AM30030 that you have you need to make sure it always has 60 psi.

  • Can 2020 Honda Accord Tow 1200 lb Motorcycle and Trailer
  • The Curt # C11525 class I hitch you'd looked at has a 2000 lb towing/200 lb tongue weight capacity, so the hitch could handle it perfectly. However, Honda lists the towing capacity of the 2020 Accord as being limited to 1000 lbs per the owner's manual, which puts you about 200 lbs over. If you can somehow get the loaded trailer weight down to no more than 1000 lbs, you shouldn't have any problems. If you can make that happen, you'll also need a # 3593 ball mount, and a # 19256 for a 1-7/8...

  • Recommended Tire Chains for a 2017 Honda Accord w/ 205/65 R-16 Tires
  • For your 2017 Honda Accord with 205/65 R-16 tires, I recommend the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains item # TC1545 you were looking at. These chains have a diamond pattern that completely cover your tires. The square links offer great traction in both snow and ice. They also have built in tensioners that keep the chains snug on your tires. I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get them set up. If you are not familiar with tire chains I strongly recommend practicing...

  • Carrying a Fishing Kayak on a 2012 Honda Accord Coupe with Sunroof
  • I can't directly recommend a roof rack setup for your kayak as the 2012 Honda Accord Coupe may not have a high enough weight capacity. If you can verify the weight capacity of your roof with Honda, you can use the Yakima roof rack system consisting of the following parts. Round 58" CrossBars # Y00409 BaseLine Towers # Y28TR RoundBar SL Adapter # Y03536 BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06119 This rack is rated for 100 lbs and you'd also need to add locks # Y07204.

  • Diameter of Inside of Nut on Draw-Tite 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball 19256
  • The nut has straight outside edges, so I believe you are asking about the diameter of the circular inside of the nut that comes with 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball # 19256. The diameter of the nut of the hitch ball is 3/4 inches; I have added a link to a video review for you as well.
