Expert Answers about Honda Civic


  • Can a 2008 Honda Civic Sedan with Manual Transmission Tow 325-Lb Boat/Trailer
  • Your 325-lb boat and trailer combination is a fairly light tow load but just the same the car maker gets the final word on whether towing anything is advisable. You can check your owner's manual for your specific vehicle since it will reflect the particular version you have (DX, LX, EX, or EX-L) and its capacities. The online version of the owner's manual that I reviewed (page 215) does not prohibit towing in general, so that's a good start. Check your manual (or with your dealership by...

  • How to Pick Out the Correct Ball Mount for 2015 Honda Civic
  • The best way to determine which amount of rise or drop you need from a ball mount (in order to keep your hitched trailer level for the best handling) is to measure as outlined in the linked article. Since the same wheel size could have more than one tire size on it that does not give you the best method for choosing a ball mount. For the Class I hitch on your 2015 Honda Civic you can refer to the linked page to see all ball mounts.

  • Ways to Detect if Tire Pressure Monitor System is Leaking at Valve Stem
  • The quickest and easiest way to detect one would be to put your ear close to the valve stem. If you're in a quiet enough environment you should be able to hear a hiss if it's leaking. Or if you have a spray bottle fill it with soapy water and spray it on the valve stems. If there's a leak you'll see bubbles forming where it is.

  • Can a 2007 Honda Civic Tow a 2011 Sea Doo with a Curt Hitch
  • The Curt Hitch # C11391 that you referenced has capacities of 200 lbs tongue weight and 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight. If your 2011 Sea-Doo and trailer fit below those capacities then the hitch would be fine to tow it. You will need to consult the owners manual of your vehicle to determine what Honda recommends for towing capacities and be sure not to exceed the lower of the two capacities between the hitch and your vehicle. When determining the towing capacity of a setup you should always...

  • Carrying 2 Bikes on a 2003 and 2006 Honda Civic with a Class I Hitch
  • The tongue weight capacity for all of the hitches available for the 2003 and 2006 Honda Civic is 200 pounds. You will need to check your owners manual or with the dealer to be sure that your vehicles tongue weight will support the weight of the bikes and carrier you choose to use. If you decide to use an extender for the 2 inch rack that you currently have it will reduce the tongue weight of the lowest rated component by 50 percent. So, if the bike rack, hitch and vehicle are all rated...

  • Is there a 2 Inch for a 2018 Honda Civic?
  • No, it will not. There are no 2" hitches available from anyone for a 2018 Honda Civic. The only hitches available are class I 1-1/4" hitches due to the small size and capacity of a Honda Civic. To add a hitch to your daughter's 2018 Honda Civic sedan, I recommend the Draw-Tite item # 24954. This hitch is custom fit and mounts behind the rear bumper cover. The only portion visible is the 1-1/4" receiver which not only looks better but helps with ground clearance. I have linked an installation...

  • Tongue Weight Capacity For 2012 Honda Civic
  • From what I found in my research the tongue weight capacity on your 2012 Honda Civic is 100 lbs. that includes the weight of any cargo carrier along with the weight of the cargo in the carrier. You will never want to exceed that capacity. Using a hitch adapter reduces the hitch tongue weight capacity by 50 percent. With the weight of the cargo basket you said you have at 29 lbs, that means you would only be able to carry 21 lbs of cargo if you use an adapter. I cannot recommend any hitch...

  • Measuring for Hatch Clearance for Cargo Boxes on 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback
  • The front bar sits 9-27/32" or 250 mm from the end of your front door on your 2018 Honda Civic 5dr Hatchback. I attached a screenshot from the install guide that shows where to put the bars. From there, open your hatch and measure from the closest point of your hatch all the way to your door. Then add 9-27/32" (or just make it 10") and you have a measurement to guide you when shopping cargo boxes. From my experience with cargo boxes, 16 cu ft is a good size for your vehicle. One example...

  • Can Roof Rack Rated for 100 lbs on 2016 Honda Civic Carry a 95 lb Fishing Kayak
  • The Inno Square crossbar roof rack for your 2016 Honda Civic (parts linked below) do have that 100 lb weight capacity and will hold your 95 lb fishing kayak but you'll need to find a lightweight kayak carrier to do so since you only have 5 lbs to work with. You might be able to use the Rhino-Rack SUP and Surfboard Pads w/ Tie-Downs # RRRWP03 since these are lightweight foam pieces. 54" Square Crossbars - # INB137 Feet - # INSUT Fit Kit - # INK683 Aside from this you'll need to look at...
