  • Recommended Crossbars For A 2018 Toyota Corolla iM
  • Sure thing! So the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked Roofs RR63GR is actually no longer available, however I do have another great option for you.

  • Tire Chains For 2017 Toyota Corolla iM P225/45R17
  • You seem to have different tire sizes than the listed tires for 2017 Toyota Corolla so the chains # PW1034 you're looking at say they will fit your P225/45R17 tires but trust me ladder pattern style chains are a pain to install on low clearance vehicles. If you wanted to get them just wear a waterproof jacket because you will need to get on the ground to make the back connection. You could also drive onto them but sometimes you don't have the luxury of a dry garage floor. I would NOT recommend...

  • Where Can Tow Bar Wire be Grounded With Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit
  • It is always preferable to attach the ground directly to the chassis frame, and where you can safely ground the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 depends on if the owner's manual of your 2018 Toyota Corolla iM specifies a location that you need to attach the ground wire.

  • How to Carry Bikes While Flat Towing a 2018 Toyota Corolla iM
  • Thank you for all of the info and the pictures! I believe from everything you are saying that you are trying to use the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 and the Swagman G10 S64682 with your Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter # RM-077-2. You may be able to use the Curt Dual 2" Receiver Tube Adapter # D-192 instead but it only has 3-1/4" of clearance between the top of the bottom receiver tube and the bottom of the top receiver tube so I'm not sure if you will have enough...

  • Base Plate And Tow Bar Compatibility For A 2018 Toyota Corolla iM
  • The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521195-5 you were referencing have the following tech note "Roadmaster direct-connect base plates will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball." This just means that you'll only be able to use a direct-connect style tow bar that mounts into the receiver tube...

  • Will Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box Clear Hatch on 2017 Toyota Corella IM
  • The Rhino-Rack Zenith MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box # RRRMFZ66 will fit your 2017 Toyota Corolla iM and allow you to open up the hatch without any issues. This box requires 49-1/4" of rear hatch clearance and from what I'm seeing you have 58" of clearance from your front crossbar to your hatch so you'll have plenty of extra room. Attached is a review video for you to check out.

  • Carrying Bikes And Hatch Clearance On A 2018 Toyota Corolla iM
  • Unfortunately when any trunk mounted bike rack, including the Malone Runway Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms. part # MPG2142, is on a vehicle loaded with bikes you will lose access to the trunk/hatch of that vehicle. You can access the trunk of your vehicle if you went with a hitch offering instead. For a hitch receiver, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4", part 24913. It is 1 1/4" Class I hitch receiver with a maximum...

  • Best Tow Dolly for a 2017 Toyota Corolla iM
  • The best tow dolly for a 2017 Toyota Corolla iM is the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly part # DM9713045. The reason for this and the feature that sets it apart from all others is that is addresses the main issue people have with using a tow dolly in that it takes up too much space at the camp site. The Demco Kar Kaddy has a folding tongue so it has a much smaller footprint taking up much less space. In regards to maneuvering the dolly around, the caster wheel on the tongue jack will makes...

  • Power Switch Light of Camco Propane to Electricity Converter On When Switch is Off
  • I reached out to a representative of Camco who said the switch light of the Camco Propane to Electricity Converter for 6-Gallon RV Water Heaters # CAM11673 is likely on because you may not have a good ground. Additionally, they said sometimes the ground and neutral get wired together which can also cause this to happen but the reason is likely going to be an issue with a poor ground.

  • Roof Rack and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Corolla iM
  • For your 2017 Toyota Corolla iM the Rhino Rack roof rack you mentioned that consists of part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK347 is a confirmed fit. Then to add locks to the kit you'd need the # RRVA-LEC4 and you'd be set. I really like the Rhino Rack roof racks as you get a higher quality rack at a lower price. Now for a kayak carrier the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 would be a great option that would work well to carry the kayak and for attaching to the crossbars. For a bike...

  • What Thule Roof Rack Will Fit My 2017 Toyota Corolla IM
  • I can definitely get a roof rack setup that will work with your 2017 Toyota Corolla IM. However, this vehicle is not compatible with the Thule Rapid Traverse Foot or the standard Thule Traverse Foot, so you cannot use the Traverse Fit Kit 1198. We do have a Thule roof rack fit for your vehicle. If you are using a Rapid Traverse Foot, you will be able to use the existing crossbars. However, if you have a standard Traverse Foot you will need to get crossbars. Your Thule rack will consist...

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Corolla iM for Carrying Bike Rack
  • For your 2017 Toyota Corolla iM the hitch you are going to want is the Draw Tite # 24952. It does not require the stabilizer strap like the Curt # C11420 does when carrying a bike rack so it would be the way to go. It also has a better price. The Draw Tite isn't necessarily stronger or weaker than the Curt. The strap recommendation is a warranty thing that Curt came up with. They tend to just be a bit more cautious than Draw Tite. For your bikes and rack the Draw Tite would work well.
