Expert Answers about Mitsubishi Eclipse
- Fit of Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 Trunk Mount Bike Rack # HRF6-2 on 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse
- The Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 Bike Rack, part # HRF6-2 is not a fit for your 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse, I have confirmed this with Hollywood Racks. I have three trunk racks that will fit as long as you do not have a spoiler on your Eclipse. You could use the Hollywood Racks Express 3 # HRE3.
If you go with one of these and plan to carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # HRBA-PRO is recommended. The adapter...

- Since we do not offer flat towing base plates for your 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse your towing options are then to use a car hauler type trailer that keeps the entire vehicle off the ground, or potentially to use a towing dolly that supports the car's front wheels while the rear wheels remain on the ground.
Your owner's manual should be consulted to see what Mitsubishi says about towing your Eclipse. If your car can be dolly towed with an item like the Roadmaster # RM-2050-1 your manual will...

- A 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse with a 2.4 liter motor uses a filter with 20 mm x 1.5 mm engine threads and a 2-1/2 inch diameter O-ring so yes, the Derale Oil Filter Relocation Kit, # D15718, will work for you.
After installing the relocation kit you will now use an oil filter with 3/4 inch - 16 threads like the Fram PH8A.
view full answer... - Availability of Base Plates to Flat Tow Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder
- The fit of a tow bar will depend on the base plates available for the car. The 2003 and 2005 model years of the Mitsubishi Eclipse are both part of the vehicle's third generation and while we do have a base plate fit for the 2003 Eclipse Spyder, Blue Ox # BX1964, we do not have any for the 2005 model year. I checked with Blue Ox and Roadmaster directly and neither offers a base plate for the 2005 Eclipse.
You will want to check your Mitsubishi owner's manual (I could not access one online...

- Only the manual transmission version of the 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder can be flat towed as is, however there are no base plates offered for your vehicle. I confirmed this with both Blue Ox and Roadmaster. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit that you referenced, part # BX1964 for the 2003 Eclipse Spyder, is not a fit for the 2005 model year. We cannot recommend using a base plate for a vehicle for which it was not intended.
Your vehicle owner's manual will indicate if the vehicle can be dolly...

- Curt trailer hitch # C1193 is listed as a fit for all models of the 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse so it will fit your Spyder GST. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory 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...

- I checked with Hollywood Racks and they state that the Express 3 Bike Rack # HRE3 that you referenced will fit the 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse as long as it does not have a spoiler. Since the pictures I pulled up of your vehicle show versions with and without the spoiler you would need to check your vehicle first to know for sure.
view full answer... - Will the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Rack Install on a 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse
- The straps of the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier # HRE3 that you referenced are pretty long and have been confirmed by Hollywood Racks to be long enough to make it from the rack to the top of the rear hatch on your 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse as long as its a coupe.
view full answer... - Can a Class II Ball Mount be Used with a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT
- With a Class I trailer hitch on your 2006 Mitsubishi Eclipse, you should only use the ball mount that is recommended for use with the trailer hitch. Another problem is that the ball mount that you have referenced is a Class II accessory. Class II items are designed so that they will not fit in a Class I trailer hitch.
You could use Sportframe Drawbar, # 3592, which will give you a 2-1/8 inch rise or # C45016, which will give you a 2-5/8 inch rise.
