Expert Answers about Honda Crosstour


  • Availability of 2 Trailer Hitch for 2012 Honda Crosstour
  • We actually have one 2" trailer hitch receiver available for your 2012 Honda Crosstour with the EcoHitch # 306-X7299. In addition to providing the larger 2" opening (which is much better for accessories like a bike rack and cargo carrier), it also features a really nice hidden-crosstube design that will maintain a factory appearance on your Crosstour. The EcoHitch has a 2,000 pound towing weight capacity and a 300 pound tongue weight limit. I have attached the written installation manual...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Bike Rack for 2013 Honda CrossTour
  • Based on what you listed as wanting for a bike rack solution for your 2013 Honda Crosstour a hitch and hitch mounted rack would be your best option. Trunk racks are great but if your plan is to leave the rack on for extended periods of time and have it secure with locks a hitch rack would be way better than a trunk rack. For a hitch you would want the Curt class 1 Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11002. The Swagman XTC2, part # S64670 is one of the most popular racks because it's so easy...

  • Yakima Showdown Requirements To Carry Two Hobie Compass Kayaks On Honda Crosstour
  • We have options to get both of your kayaks up and onto your roof, but both The Yakima Showdown # Y04081 and the Thule Hullavator # TH898 are made to carry one Kayak. Having two of the carriers on top of your vehicle is not ideal because they are extremely long carriers and would require a crossbar longer than the ones that will work for you. I would recommend getting this kit # RREB150B # RRRLKVA # RREB-FK1 # DK231 Nice thing about our carrier is that is a cost effective yet VERY functional...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Honda Crosstour
  • Torklift manufactures hitches that are designed for heavy duty applications like full sized trucks. Their hitches would have capacities ranging from 15 to 30K, which would be well over the towing capacity of your Crosstour. The hitches available for your 2015 Honda Crosstour are all Class I, which would have a 2000 lbs towing/200 lb tongue weight capacity. This capacity would be limited by the capacity of the vehicle itself, which is 1000 to 1500 lbs, depending on how its equipped. I'd...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2014 Honda Crosstour
  • The Cur 1-1/4" hitch # C11002 and the EcoHitch 2" # 306-X7299 are both custom fit trailer hitches confirmed to work with your 2014 Honda Crosstour EL-X. I recommend the EcoHitch # 306-X7299 because it has a higher tongue weight capacity of 525 pounds verses the 200 pounds of the Curt and with the 2" receiver opening, you have many more options for accessories. The downside of the EcoHitch is that it is more expensive than the Curt and much more difficult to install. Then for a bike...

  • How to Carry 4 Bikes on a 2012 Honda Crosstour
  • To carry 4 bikes I recommend a combination of a hitch and hitch rack and a roof rack. For a hitch I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C11002. And for a bike rack that holds 2 bikes and is Class I compatible I recommend the Swagman Trailhead, # S63360. For an economical roof rack use # SR1002. Then you could use 2 of the Thule bike rack # TH598004.This rack holds the bikes at the frame so you will not have to remove the front wheel.

  • 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...

  • Is Wiring Included with EcoHitch Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2014 Honda Crosstour
  • The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7299 that you referenced, which is confirmed to fit your 2014 Honda Crosstour, does not include a trailer wiring harness. The trailer hitch simply includes all the needed mounting hardware for installation. This is the case with any of our available trailer hitches. To add wiring, you will need the Curt Harness # C56215. I have attached the written installation instructions that you can check out as well.

This is a confirmed fit for your back seat and will cover more than the Aries Automotive Seat Defender Bench Seat Protector with Headrest Covers - Universal Fit - Black # AA3146B. There is a price difference, but the Canine Covers are have a water repellency and waterproof inner layer to protect your seats...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 2015 Honda Crosstour
  • We certainly do. You'll want to begin by installing a hitch, such as the Curt Class I, part # C11002. You can see the installation instructions by clicking the provided link. Once the hitch is in place, you can install a platform-style bike rack. Of the available choices, I'd recommend the Swagman XTC2, part # S64670. Ratcheting padded hooks hold the bikes firmly in place without any danger of them swinging back and forth, like what can happen with some hanging-type bike racks. There are...

  • 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.
