Expert Answers about Honda Element


  • Does Draw Tite Hitch # e78KR Fit 2008 Honda Element SC Model
  • The etrailer hitch part # e78KR does not fit the SC models of the 2008 Honda Element. Instead, we have the class I Curt # C11699 as a fit for the SC models fitting from 2007 to 2010 Honda Element SC models. This hitch has a 1-1/4" receiver opening. You will be limited to 2 bikes on a class I hitch and Curt requires a stabilizer strap # 18050 when used with a bike rack or a cargo carrier. It has a gross towing weight (GTW) of 2,000 lbs. and a tongue weight (TW) of 200 lbs. I attached...

  • How to Determine if the Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box Fits on a 2004 Honda Element EX
  • You can use the Inno Wedge 660 Rooftop Cargo Box # INBRM660WH on your 2004 Honda Element EX. I am assuming that by "does it fit" you are referencing if you will be able to open the rear hatch with it installed. In order to determine that, you will need to take a measurement. You will want to measure between the front crossbar and the line where the roof and hatch meet. In order to open the hatch with the cargo box installed, you will need a measurement of 48-1/2" or larger. Other than...

  • In order to use the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4 Bike Platform Rack part # HR1400Z on a 2005 Honda Element you'd need to use a trailer hitch with 2" receiver tube opening, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e78KR is an easy to install option. The reason you'd need to install the larger trailer hitch has to do with both weight and leverage. For starters, the maximum number of bikes that can be installed on a class one rated hitch is two. Furthermore, the adapters you mentioned...

  • Will Thule The Stacker Fit Factory Crossbars On 2011 Honda Element
  • The Thule Stacker, part # TH830 would work well on your Element with the factory roof rack. This carrier can hold up to 4 kayaks, but you will want to make sure you do not exceed the roof weight capacity of your Honda. Another note is that the kayaks cannot be longer than 10 ft. This carrier comes with 1 pair of ratcheting tie downs, 2 straps, and buckle protectors included. If the kayaks you are longer than 10 ft I recommend part # TH834. This is a J-style carrier that will hold one...

  • Can the Roadmaster Kit # RM-152-98146-7 Run Through the Side Channel of Falcon All Terrain II
  • The wiring for the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit # RM-152-98146-7 that you referenced will feed through the side channel of your Falcon All-Terrain II but if you are needing more length than the 6-1/2' cord I have another solution for you. The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 is the exact same thing except that it has a coiled cord instead of a straight one. The coiled design keeps it from dragging on the ground when you are flat towing. When...

  • Does Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2005 Honda Element Require Drilling
  • I don't blame you for not being enthused about drilling to mount a hitch on your 2005 Honda Element, though that will be necessary with both of the hitches we offer that fit, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e78KR and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13574. To be honest, the reason why the Draw-Tite isn't offered anymore is because they were recently bought and issues have risen with product availability. Basically, only their most popular products are being made available right now...

  • Will T-One Wiring Harness 118465 Fit a 2005 Honda Element
  • The T-One Wiring Harness, part # 118465 will not fit a 2005 Honda Element. It will only fit newer models of the Honda Element. You will need to hard wire your 2005 model. We recommend the hard wiring kit, part # 119178KIT, because it provides all the parts you will need to complete the hard wiring installation yourself. I attached installation instructions for you to review also.

  • Is Fascia Trimming Needed to Install Trailer Hitch on 2006 Honda Element EX-P
  • For the 2006 Honda Element, etrailer doesn't have sub-model specific information about if fascia needed trimming to install their # e78KR Class III hitch. The install directions state that for all models, some drilling will be required but no fascia trimming. The hitch sits below the bumper. If you have the squared-off bumper that doesn't slant downward under the vehicle, then it could be possible that some trimming would be needed, but our directions say no trimming needed. Unfortunately,...

  • Will the Swagman Fork Down Bike Rack fit Factory Rails of a 2005 Honda Element
  • The Fork Style Roof Mounted Bike Rack - Swagman Fork Down, # S64710, is designed to fit best with Thule (square bars) and most OEM factory cross bars (that run side to side). I spoke with my contact at Swagman and he stated that the width of the u-bolts used to secure the rack to the cross bars are 3-3/8 inches and it will best fit cross bars no wider than 3 inches. As long as your cross bars are under that, the rack will fit your Toyota 4Runner. I have included a link to the installation...
