Expert Answers about Toyota Avalon


  • Will the Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Platform Rack Work On Bikes with Fenders
  • The Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Platform Rack part # INH120 is a wheel mount bike rack and wheel mount bike racks cannot be used on bikes with fenders. Therefore, you will need to use a different bike rack. I recommend the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting # C18085 which is a frame mount bike rack therefore there won't be any issues with bikes that have fenders.

  • 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...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2002 Toyota Avalon
  • I did some checking and it looks like the now discontinued Hidden Hitch 90650 only fit Avalons up to 2000 so it would not be a confirmed fit. Instead you would want the Draw Tite hitch part # 36293 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Wiring Harnesses Require Splicing Into Tail Light Wiring on a 2004 Toyota Avalon

This harness and the others that fit your vehicle, see link, all require splicing into the vehicle wiring for installation. I have included links to instructions and a link to a video showing another harness that fits your vehicle, # C59496.

  • Troubleshooting Malfunctioning Running Light Circuit on Trailer
  • For starters, check the T-connectors and make sure they are fully plugged in until they click. Secondly, test the 4-pole using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. Turn on the vehicle headlights and test the pin on the 4-pole that is fed by the brown wire. If you get voltage on that pin, you have ruled out the vehicle as being the problem. At this point, you will need to trace the running light circuit on the trailer, which is typically a brown wire. Start at the trailer connector, looking...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Toyota Avalon
  • For your 2016 Toyota Avalon the Thule OutWay part # TH45JV is a confirmed fit that would work well. This is arguable the nicest trunk rack on the market that I know will work well for you. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses only 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than the 4-6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The cables store inside the rack...

  • Least Noticable Trailer Hitch for a 2003 Toyota Avalon XLS
  • The least noticeable trailer hitch we offer for your 2003 Toyota Avalon XLS is the Draw-Tite # 36293. This Class II trailer hitch has a towing capacity of 300lbs tongue weight and 3,500lbs towing weight. You will want to be sure that your vehicle is capable of supporting this type of weight, just because the hitch is designed to doesn't mean the vehicle can, be sure to check your owners manual. Some other items you will need to tow a small trailer are a ball mount and a ball like # 36051...

  • Will the Kuat Beta Bike Rack be Compatible with the Curt Receiver C11427 on a 2011 Toyota Avalon
  • The measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole of your Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24870 to the outermost edge of the rear bumper on your 2011 Toyota Avalon is right at about 4-1/2 inches (see attached video). Since the Kuat Beta # B202-114 that you referenced measures 7-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar there will be more than enough room for this bike rack to fit on your Avalon. Since the Beta has anti-sway cradles...

  • Best Bike Rack Solution for Class I Hitch to Carry E-Bike
  • E-bikes are heavier than what the Swagman XTC2 bike rack part # S64670 is going to be rated to carry so you'll want to look into a bike rack that has the capacity you'll need and can fit a Class I hitch like you have as well like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which is the best possible option. Basically all e-bike racks are not going to be rated for a Class I hitch since this is a heavier weight application. The EasyFold is a rare exception and comes loaded with other features that...

  • 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...

  • Bike Carrier Recommendation for a 2014 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
  • The Thule Passage trunk mount bike carrier # TH910XT is a fit for your 2014 Toyota Avalon but whether or not using it with your bikes can damage the vehicle is sort of up in the air. there are a lot of factors involved including the softness of the vehicle bumper/trunk, the weight of the bikes, the road conditions, and so on. It is much less likely that the trunk lid would sustain any sort of damage but the fiberglass bumper could. I recommend keeping the bikes off of the vehicle altogether...

  • 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 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.

  • Does The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 36293, Include A Ball Mount For A Toyota Avalon
  • On the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 36293, there is no mount hole for a hitch ball. You will need to get a ball mount that will go into the hitch receiver and give you the location where the hitch ball will be mounted. This hitch is for a 2000 to 2004 Toyota Avalon. For the Toyota Avalon you will need the recommended ball mount for that hitch, which is the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, # 36051. It will come with the pin and clip. The hitch ball you will need is the Tow Ready 2 Inch Hitch Ball,...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation-2015 Toyota Camry SE
  • For your 2015 Toyota Camry, you'll need a new hitch because the rear structure of your 2003 Avalon is different enough that the hitch won't fit your Camry. The hitch wouldn't hang down far enough to clear the rear bumper, and the exhaust configuration at the rear of the vehicle is different. I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class II hitch, part # 36540, because it's reasonably priced and similar capacity as the other available hitches. If you're planning on doing some light duty towing, you'll...

  • Recommended 2-Bike Trunk-Mount Rack for 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid
  • The trunk-mount 2-bike rack that will most easily install on your 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is the Thule OutWay rack # TH45JV. Most trunk bike racks use a half-dozen straps/clips to mount on a vehicle, but the OutWay installs more easily with only 2 rubber coated straps and so it is much easier to install. Also while most trunk racks do NOT include locks (meaning you have to spend extra), theOutway does; it includes locks for both the rack itself and for your two bikes. Plus, Thule backs...

  • Dimensions of Hitch Pin Hole and Weld Stop On Class I Trailer Hitch Receivers
  • Class I trailer hitch receivers like # 24847 have a distance of about 1-5/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the welded stop in the back of the hitch receiver tube. Class I ball mounts like # 3594 normally are about 1-9/16 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back to allow fit. The Class I hitches have this welded stop to ensure only Class I rated accessories will fit so you don't overload your hitch capacity. The Class II trailer hitches do not have the...

  • 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...
