Expert Answers about Honda Crosstour


  • Are there Any Thule Crossbars for My 2013 Honda Crosstour?
  • There is not a fit kit for your 2013 Crosstour because Thule does not make a set of bars compatible with your vehicle. Instead, you're limited to using either the SportRack Semi-Custom Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Square Crossbars # SR1002, or any of the following: -Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB130-138 for a set of 51" and 54" long bars with the custom feet # INXS250, and the fit kit # INK587, -Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB123-130 for a set of 48" and 51" long bars, with the custom feet # INXS250,...

  • Will a 2 Inch, 4-Bike Rack Fit a Curt Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2013 Honda Crosstour
  • Curt trailer hitch # C11002 for the 2013 Honda Crosstour is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver so bike rack # C18064 will not fit. For a compatible bike rack you have to make sure the rack is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements....

  • Determining Wheel Fit And Offset For Greater Clearance On Inside Of Trailer To Sidewall
  • Wheel offset refers to the location of a wheel's rim in relation to the wheel's center. The rim can be centered on the wheel or it can be offset to either side. The position of the rim determines where the tire lines up - either closer to or farther from the vehicle or trailer on which it is mounted. Trailer wheels usually have zero offset, meaning that the rim of a trailer wheel lines up directly under the center of the wheel. This alignment puts the tire directly under the center of...

  • Troubleshooting Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack Movement While Driving with a 2012 Honda Crosstour
  • Thank you for reaching out and your purchase of the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches # Y96FR. Using a stabilizing strap can help keep the rack from moving around as much so if that's the route you want to take then I recommend using the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap # 18050 which can be secured to your trunk/hatch or safety chain loops - whichever is easiest to then extend the strap to the bike rack. With that being said, the reason why you're experiencing...

  • Class III Hitch for a 2012 Honda Crosstour

This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Honda with included hardware. If you need a wiring harness to control your trailer or lighting functions I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118500. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Honda Accord Crosstour
  • Yes we have the Yakima HangOut 3 bike # Y02638 which is a confirmed fit and a great bike rack solution for your 2012 Honda Crosstour! If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will...

  • Recommendation for a 2013 Honda Crosstour to Allow Use of Yakima 4-Bike Hitch Rack
  • The hitches offered for your 2013 Honda Crosstour are limited to the light-duty Class I variety, one of which is the Curt # C11002. A Class I hitch bike rack - any of them - is limited to carrying 2 bikes and no more. An adapter will not help in this instance; use of ANY hitch adapter has the unfortunate side-effect of reducing the hitch's capacity by 50-percent. This would mean your 200-lb-rated hitch suddenly drops to a 100-lb rating, which is not nearly enough for the weight of a rack...

  • Troubleshooting 4-Pole Wiring Harness for 2014 Honda Crosstour
  • Curt 4-pole wiring harness # C56215 is the correct part for the 2014 Honda Crosstour. If the VEHICLE'S connector where the Curt's white plug connects has power, but that power is not reaching the fuse holder in the harness' wiring, then chances are that there is a bent contact in one of those connectors that is preventing 12V power from reaching the fuse and converter box. If the needed 15-amp fuse that goes in the engine compartment were not installed correctly that would not allow power...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For 2013 Honda Crosstour
  • The trailer hitches we offer that are designed to fit your 2013 Crosstour, like the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11002, are Class l hitches and have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Using a hitch adapter like part # HTAD does reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent. This means for towing you would be limited to a trailer that weighs less than 1,000 lbs and a tongue weight about 100 lbs. If the weight of your bikes and bike rack together do not exceed 100 lbs, the HTAD would work...

  • Do I Need Glass Hatch Hook Adapters With the Yakima HangOut2 on 2012 Honda Crosstour
  • No, The Yakima HangOut 2 Bike Rack part # Y02637 does not require the use of glass hatch hook adapters part # Y02612 on the 2012 Honda Crosstour. I confirmed with Yakima that the glass hatch hook adapters are needed with the "Joe" series Yakima trunk mount racks. The HangOut has an anchor mode that flips the hooks so they fit behind the hatch and act as an anchor. The Yakima HangOut does not come with the steel-inforced security strap to secure the rack to your trunk. That strap is part...

  • Determining Correct Replacement Axle For Older Axle With Obsolete L68149 LM12749 Bearing Combo
  • I have a replacement axle option for you, but we do not have any hubs that will fit your spindle with the # L68149 and LM12749, and I was unable to find any replacements online. The best option is going to be replacing the axle with one that uses standard bearings to make finding replacement parts now and in the future easier. To do this you will need to take a few measurements, from hub face to hub face and and from spring center to spring center, and determine the axle weight rating. The...

  • How to Carry 4 Bikes with a 2012 Honda Crosstour
  • We have exactly what you need. Starting with the hitch, I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7299. Since this is a class 3 hitch, it will allow you to carry 4 bikes. For a bike rack, I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH934XTR. This rack weighs approximately 38 pounds. This is important because the weight of the carrier added to the weight of your 4 bikes, must be less than the the tongue...

  • Why Am I Not Getting Power To My Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness On My 2015 Honda Crosstour?
  • I spoke with Curt in regards to your Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56215 on your 2015 Honda Crosstour, and they mentioned that usually when this happens this is caused by there not being any power on the 12V feed to the converter. They recommend that you are getting power to both sides of the fuse on the harness with a circuit tester # PTW2993 or a multimeter # PT89ZR. If you are not getting power, than more then likely you have the fuse...

  • 2012 Honda Crosstour Roof Rack and Cargo Box and Bag Recommendations
  • I'd be more than happy to help you out! Since your plan is to keep the cargo loaded on your vehicle while at a hotel you'll want to stick with a cargo box. The roof bags are convenient but they offer zero amount of security and someone can easily clip off the straps and run away with the bag like you said. The only way I can recommend a cargo bag is if you're able to store it inside the vehicle during the night. With all of that being said, here are the parts I recommend for your application: Inno...

  • Comparing the Malone RunWay and Swagman XC Bike Racks
  • To keep the bikes from making contact with each other as well as the back of the vehicle I recommend only looking at platform style bike racks such as # MPG2149 and the Swagman XC # S64650. With the hanging style racks you referenced the bikes will likely make contact with each other though it is unlikely they would make contact with the vehicle. All bike racks will have some movement when installed. Both the RunWay and XC have an anti-rattle hitch bolt to limit the movement but keep in...

  • Why Cant More than 2 Bikes be Carried on a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2013 Honda Crosstour
  • That is correct. On a Class I hitch it isn't the weight that is the issue. It is how far that weight is from the hitch receiver. A third and subsequent bikes will be too far from the receiver which will put a lot of extra stress on the hitch and where it attaches to the vehicle. If you have ever used a long wrench or breaker bar to loosen a lug nut it is the same concept: if the lever is long enough it takes very little force to loosen that nut. And if the weight on a bike rack is far enough...

  • How to Carry More than 2 Bikes on a 2014 Honda Crosstour that Can Only have a Class I Trailer Hitch
  • We have the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7299 for your 2014 Honda Crosstour. This custom hitch has a 2" opening and has a tongue weight of 525 pounds. Since this is a class 3 hitch, you will not be limited to only 2 bikes like on the class I hitches and you would be able to use your current bike rack.

  • Can a 2015 V6 AWD Honda Crosstour Tow 2 Snowmobiles
  • As long as the gross trailer weight is under the 1,500 pound capacity and the tongue weight is under the 150 pound capacity of the 2015 Honda Crosstour then you will be good to go as far as occasionally towing the trailer. If the trailer is heavier than the capacity of the vehicle I can't recommend towing it. The suspension would be fine because if the trailer is within the capacity of the vehicle then the tongue weight would be just 150 pounds which it should not have a problem handling...

  • How to Add Matching HitchLock for Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack
  • The lock core on your Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack # Y96FR won't have the key number visible (as it's on the side of the lock cylinder) but if you look at the keys that you received with the rack you should see a number on them. If you order just the Replacement Body # 8820048 for the Yakima HitchLock you can then order a lock core that matches what you have as well as the Control Key # Y8007835 that you need for installing the cylinder. To get the correct cylinder you can either search for...
