Expert Answers about Toyota Corolla


  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For 2001 Toyota Corolla
  • We do have a wiring harness that is designed to work with your 2001 Corolla, but it is not a plug and play harness. You will need to hardwire the harness, but it is really not very difficult. The harness is part # 119178KIT. You just need to access the vehicle wiring on the left side of the vehicle in the rear cargo area by the left tail light. The included tester can be used to find the wires you need to splice into with the included connectors. You can have someone sit in the front seat...

  • Keeping Bike Tires Straight when Using Reese Bike Rack 63120 on a 2017 Toyota Corolla
  • Yes, the Reese bike rack # 63120 will fit Curt trailer hitch # C11265 on your 2017 Toyota Corolla. This bike rack does not have the ability to keep the bike tires straight while driving. In order to keep the tires straight you can use hook and loop strap # SR54FR. I have linked a video featuring these straps for you. Since you have the Curt hitch you will also need to use stabilization strap # 18050 per Curt's warranty requirements. I have included a link to a video showing how it works...

  • How to Change the Lock Core on a RockyMounts Bike Rack
  • Like you said, there isn't a master key for the RockyMounts lock cores. In order to change out a lock core you will need access to the back of the lock. Then with a small flat blade screwdriver or a knife you can press down on the pin that holds the lock in the housing and then push it out of the front. In the video I made, it is a Rhino-Rack part but the process is the same.

  • Typical Professional Installation Time for Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX3788 on 2015 Toyota Corolla
  • I am not trying to avoid directly answering your question but the exact amount of time needed to complete a base plate installation on a vehicle can vary quite a bit. The particular equipment on a vehicle, the installer's experience and even the nature of the equipment in the shop can have an effect on the time required. Even with a well-qualified shop and technician, if it is the first time a particular base plate kit has been installed on a particular car, it will take longer than if...

  • How Does the Camera Wire Route for the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera # HM50002 on a Vehicle
  • The cable that runs from the monitor to the camera of the Hopkins Smart Hitch Backup Camera # HM50002 that you referenced will need to be routed either on the interior of the vehicle, which means it would need to go under carpeting or trim panels, or it would need to route underneath the vehicle and then through a grommet in the floor to get to the monitor. If it's a truck you will need to route it from the outside of the vehicle and then back through the interior avoiding any hot exhaust...

  • Full 12 Volts Not Reaching Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicle
  • I am not sure if you have already tested the battery charge line circuit on the motorhome's 7-way but if not this will be your next step. If you don't get 12 volts here then there is an issue with this circuit on your motorhome. Aside from tracing the wire back I don't have much to resolve this issue so easiest option would be to just run your own wire with the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes part # RM-156-75. If you do get 12 volts on the battery charge line circuit on...

  • Can Trailer Brakes be Added to a MasterTow Dolly
  • The weight capacity of a tow dolly typically refers to the total vehicle weight I attached a help article that details how to add brakes to a trailer (or in your case dolly) that will cover everything you would need. Basically you will need to determine if your spindles have brake assembly mounting flanges first, and then determine what spindle you have so that you can pick out the correct hub/drums and then build from there.

  • Bolt Size to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2004 Toyota Corolla
  • The weldnuts in the frame for your 2004 Toyota Corolla to install a trailer hitch are M12 nuts. The bolts used to install a hitch, # C11265 as an example, are M12-1.25 x 30mm grade 5. It is recommended to clean out the weldnuts prior to installing the hitch. Road grime and corrosion can get compacted in the threads and you would not be able to thread in the bolts without first cleaning the weldnuts. I have included some links to the right that should help. If you plan on doing some towing...

  • Does the Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Toyota Corolla Require Drilling
  • The only available trailer hitch for a 2020 Toyota Corolla at this time is the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24983 which does indeed require drilling. That said, this is very minor and it's only one hole per side. If you need to install a trailer hitch this is unavoidable.

  • What to do if Bolts Don't Fit on Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for 2012 Toyota Corolla
  • We can help you with this issue, which is actually pretty common on vehicles that have a few miles on them, such as your 2012 Toyota Corolla, and the bolts that came with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24913 are the correct size. What happens in older vehicles is that open weld nuts (bolt holes) will amass some corrosion in them which will make it seem as if the bolts don't fit, when really, the bolt holes just need to be cleaned. I have attached a link to a help article that goes over...

  • How To Clean Out Weld Nuts for Trailer Hitch On 2011 Toyota Corolla
  • In order to install a hitch on a vehicle with rusted weld nuts, the first step would be to clean them with a lubricant and wire brush. If the bolt will still not thread into the weld nuts you will need to clean them out further with a thread tap. A M12x1.25 is correct for a 2011 Toyota Corolla.

  • Bolt Size & Thread Tap For C11265 & C13140 Trailer Hitches

  • Do the Cradles on the SportRack Trunk Bike Carrier Move While in Transport
  • I viewed the video (1:08 mark) about the SportRack 3 bike carrier # SR3152 that you referenced, and the cradles are actually pretty secure and will take a little force to move them around to the desired position. So you won't need to worry about the cradles sliding while you are driving down the road. This bike rack can carry 3 bikes and the weight capacity is 105 pounds. If you will be transporting any woman's, child's or alternative frame bikes, an adapter like # SR0500 will be a...

  • Can SportRack Roof Rack Remain Installed On 2005 Toyota Corolla For Extended Period
  • Since the SportRack Roof Rack # SR1002 is a semi-custom fit, I would recommend removing the rack anytime you are not using it. I also recommend treating the rubber door seal so that it remains pliable and will not be so easy to mash down.

  • What Size Fasteners are Used to Install a Draw Tite Hitch on a 2010 Toyota Corolla
  • The bolts included with the hitch # 24913 are M12-1.25x30 mm. Most likely you have the correct hardware and the weld nuts just need further cleaning. Cleaning weldnuts out on a vehicle in order to install a trailer hitch takes a lot of time and elbow grease. Basically the weldnuts may appear to be clean but getting all of the grime out can take longer than you might think. Make sure you are use a lubricant like WD-40 or PB Blaster. Check out he video and FAQ article I attached to the...

  • How Far Below the Bumper Does the Bottom of the Curt # C11265 Hitch Sit on a 2005 Toyota Corolla
  • I went out to the warehouse and found from the top of the mounting brackets to the bottom of the safety chain loops (which will be the lowest thing on the hitch) of the Curt # C11265 is about 7-5/8 inches. If you check out the linked instructions or the linked installation video you can measure down about 7-5/8 inches from where the trailer hitch mounts on your frame to get the ground clearance on your 2005 Toyota Corolla.
