In my opinion, the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36293 has a cleaner look than Curt hitch # C12339. I have included a picture showing the hitches side by side installed on a vehicle for you to compare. The Curt hitch has that bracket that goes beneath the muffler on your 2000 Toyota Avalon. The Draw-Tite hitch does not so it appears a little cleaner.
Ground clearance would be about the same on either hitch.
Another thing about the Curt hitch is that they require the use of a stabilization... view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
We had the chance to install the Tekonsha T-One kit part # 118578 on a 2014 Toyota Avalon and shot an install video that I attached to this page that covers the entire process. At the 10 minute mark roughly the video covers running the power wire to the battery that is in the vehicle trunk. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
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

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... view full answer...
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... view full answer...
Your 2007 Toyota Avalon will need to be hardwired for a 4-pole trailer connection. I would recommend the Upgraded Circuit Protected Taillight Converter Hardwire Kit, item # 119178KIT, for ease of installation and protection of your vehicles sensitive electronics.
You will need to match the color-code wires from the tail light converter too the appropriate vehicle wires. Use a circuit tester, included with the kit, to find the correct wires behind the vehicle taillights and splice the... view full answer...
For a roof rack for your 2013 Toyota Avalon I would recommend the Rhino Rack that consists of the following parts:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Leg Kit # RRRLKVA
Custom DK Clamps and Pads # DK361
For bike racks confirmed to fit this rack you would want the SQR Quick-Release Rooftop Cargo Carrier part # RBC035. I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out.
You will need to check the owner's manual of your vehicle to determine the... view full answer...
You can certainly use a bike rack in your Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36540 on your 2014 Toyota Avalon. Just make sure that it is compatible with a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch.
If you need a bike rack I recommend the Swagman XTC-2, # S64670. This is a platform style carrier that will prevent the bikes from touching. I have included a link to a video review of this carrier for you. view full answer...
I did some checking and there are bike racks available for you 2006 Toyota Avalon but the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT is not recommended for you as Thule does not recommend the use of a 3 bike rack on your vehicle.
The 2 bike version of this rack is confirmed to fit, the part number is # TH910XT. I attached a review video and installation instructions for this product for you to check out also.
If you need to carry a third bike you could get a Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack, check... view full answer...
For a trailer hitch confirmed as a fit for your 1997 Toyota Avalon we have the Curt hitch part # C12339 which would work well for towing a small trailer.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # C59496 and for a ball mount # C45520. For hitch balls you'd want the part # C40018 for a 2 inch ball or part # C40001 for a 1-7/8 inch ball. view full answer...
I will be happy to get you set up for a hitch and bike rack. For the 2013 Toyota Avalon, all of the available hitches, see link, are Class II hitches. The most popular hitch is currently Draw-Tite, # 36540. This hitch will not fit a hybrid model Avalon. I have incldued a link to the installation instructions.
For a bike rack, the Swagman XTC2, # S64670, is one of the most popular platform style bike racks available. It would be a good choice for the vehicle, especially if you are looking... view full answer...
There are bike rack solutions for your 2003 Toyota Avalon but a bike rack with a 2 inch shank will not fit. In order to use a trailer hitch mounted bike rack with a 2 inch shank, you need a trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver. All of the hitches available for your 2003 Toyota Avalon are Class II with a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver so a 2 inch bike rack will not fit.
If your Avalon does not already have a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class II Receiver # 36293. With this... view full answer...
For your 2012 Toyota Avalon, I recommend checking out the:
-SeaSucker Monkey Bars Roof Rack # 298-SX6000B for a set of crossbars, and the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 (x2) to carry your two kayaks.
These crossbars measure 48" long, 1-1/4" in diameter, and have a maximum capacity of 150-lbs. view full answer...
We do not design or manufacture the bike racks we sell, you'd need to speak to the bike rack manufacturers about your idea for a trunk bike rack.
I've tried to find an online copy of the 2014 Avalon owner's manual to see what exactly they say on the matter, and have been unsuccessful. We're not in the habit of recommending folks ignore advice from the vehicle manufacturer, but I can tell you that many many folks have installed hitches on their Toyota Avalons and Camrys to carry bike racks... view full answer...
A Class II or a Class III Transmission cooler would be sufficient. You could use the D13502 that you were looking at, but it may be a bit big or cumbersome to fit and install easily.
I would probably use the Class II, part # D13501 from Derale. It is a bit smaller, 11 inches wide, 5-3/4 inches tall and 7/8 of an inch thick. Make sure you have room either in front or behind your radiator for this cooler to lay flat against. I have also added a link to a video of a cooler being installed... view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11576 is the only hitch that we have for your Toyota and will offer decent ground clearance when installed on the 2020 Toyota Avalon. The receiver tube on the Curt hitch is going to sit right up under the rear bumper which you can see in the attached photo. Furthermore, the Curt hitch has a hidden design so it will also look good while mounted on the rear of the vehicle. I attached a picture of this hitch installed on an Avalon.

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... view full answer...
