Expert Answers about Honda Crosstour


  • Can the Yakima HitchLock # Y07235 be Keyed the Same as Yakima OnRamp # Y96FR
  • You can definitely get the Yakima HitchLock for Yakima Hitch Mounted Bike Racks - Same Key System (SKS) # Y07235 keyed the same as your Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 1-1/4" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y96FR.

  • Difference Between Thule Helium Pro 2 and Helium Pro 3
  • The Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack part # TH9043PRO is the same as the Helium Pro 2 Bike Rack part # TH9042PRO except it weighs 1 lb more and holds 3 bikes. The Helium Pro 3 has all of the same great features like the tilt-away feature and integrated locks like the Helium Pro 2. You sure can use the Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack part # TH9043PRO on the Class I hitch if you only load 2 bikes at a time because the extra bike would cause more leverage on the setup and possibly damage the hitch.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Platform Style Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2013 Honda Crosstour
  • I checked with Thule and they do not list the OutWay Platform # TH9003PRO as a fit for your 2013 Honda Crosstour. We do have some trunk mounted racks compatible with your vehicle. We have the two bike Yakima HangOut # Y02637 and a few 3 bike options # Y02638, # MPG2139, and # MPG2142. These are currently the only fits confirmed for your vehicle.

  • 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...

  • Will the Curt Hitch # C11002 Fit a 2012 Honda Crosstour AWD EX-L
  • The Curt Hitch # C11002 will fit on your 2012 Honda Crosstour AWD EX-L model. My tech contact at Curt confirmed the fit and the installation instructions lists the fit for your model Crosstour. This hitch does not require drilling or welding for installation, it uses a bolt-on design for a simpler process. To bolt on your hitch, you will be using weld nuts already found on your vehicle that can be dirty and hard to use. I attached a help article on how to clean the weld nuts on your vehicle...

  • SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box SR7016 Compatibility with Roof Crossbar Spread
  • The SportRack Horizon Rooftop Cargo Box # SR7016 will mount onto round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars so long as the bars' center-to-center spread is between 23-5/8-inches and the maximum spread of 32-1/2-inches. Since this box will not work for your bar spread I called Thule/SportRack and my contact there suggested the Motion XT # TH629907 which will fit bar spreads up to 36-7/8-inches measured bar center to bar center. This box also offers higher volume capacity,...

  • 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receivers Options for a 2014 Honda Crosstour
  • Yes, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7299 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Honda Crosstour and will give you a 2" receiver tube opening. Although it is certainly not the most cost effective trailer hitch we have for your vehicle, it is the only one we have that will give you a 2" receiver tube opening without the use of adapter. It is also to my knowledge the only 2" trailer hitch receiver that is available for your vehicle.

  • Can I Use My Older Thule Vertex XT Bike Rack With Curt Hitch On 2013 Honda Crosstour
  • The Curt Hitch part # C11002 fits the 2013 Honda Crosstour and is a Class I hitch so the Vertex would need to be class I compatible for it to fit. Thule no longer produces the Vertex bike racks but there were a few different versions of the Vertex in production at one time. The Thule Vertex 2-bike rack part number 9028XT is compatible with your Class I hitch along with the 4 bike rack version which was part number 9029XT. However, if your Vertex is the swing-away version part # 9031XT...

  • 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....

  • Can I Remove My Spare Tire With Hitch Receiver Installed
  • The crossbar on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11002 is bowed outward towards the rear of your 2013 Honda Accord Crosstour to allow for removal of the spare tire while installed. This is further explained at the :20 second mark in the attached video of an older hitch. The Curt has a similar design.
