Expert Answers about Honda Fit

• Does EcoHitch for 2011 Honda Fit Have Capacity for Scooter Carrier
• The EcoHitch part # 306-X7286 that fits your 2011 Honda Fit has a 300 lb tongue weight capacity so as long as the weight of your carrier and scooter is less than that it would work great. You also need to verify the tongue weight capacity of your vehicle and be sure not to exceed that either.

• 3-Bike Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2012 Honda Fit
• For a 3-bike trunk mount bike carrier the best option is going to be the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. I have an older version of this carrier and it is by far the best trunk mount carrier I have ever used. The 2 retractable cables make installation quick and easy compared to other carriers that use 6 straps. The cables are also more durable and the slack is stored inside the carrier. This carrier also features the latest and greatest in cradle technology to better protect the bike frames. And...

• Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2016 Honda Fit
• While we do have equipment you can install on your 2016 Honda Fit to tow a trailer there are a few things we need to note first; the max towing capacity will be 2,000 lbs for any of the hitches that fit your vehicle (so you'll need to check the weight of your jet skis), and the online version of your owner's manual says not to tow with your vehicle. Should you choose to still do so here is what you need: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - # C11406 Curt T-Connector Wiring - # C56395 Ball Mount...

• Recommendation of Base Plate Kit and Tow Bar for 2009 Honda Fit
• The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, item # 521190-1, is the base plate kit you will need for your 2009 Honda Fit.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2015 Honda Fit
• I checked the online owner's manual for your 2015 Honda Fit and it did state that this vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer. It did not list any weight capacities or limits for the vehicle when it comes to trailer towing. I recommend checking your copy of the manual, as it's possible that you have a different model with alternative restrictions or guidelines. If you do decide to tow a small trailer, you will want the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 24920. This is a Class I hitch that will...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for Towing 4 Kayaks on Small Trailer with 2015 Honda Fit
• I have two different hitches I'd recommend for towing a small kayak trailer with your 2015 Honda Fit. For a standard Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, I'd recommend the # 24920 Draw-Tite hitch you'd looked at. This is a standard hitch that would be fully visible once installed. If you go this route, you'll also need a ball mount like # 3593, along with a # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. If you'd prefer a hitch with the more prevalent...

• Pads To Protect The Bottom Of Stackable Plastic Leveling Blocks When On Rocky Terrain

• Best Trailer for a Rooftop Tent
• Comparing the different Malone roof rack on wheels, you are correct in that they have similar designs with tires that can handle more weight. Of course, attaching a rooftop tent to one of these may have some complications due to the height. Rooftop tents generally use a ladder to support part of the weight, and neither Thule nor Yakima (the manufacturers of our rooftop tents) could confirm if the ladders could be used with something so low. The EcoLight, part # MAL53FR , that you mentioned...

• Hitch and Hitch Step Recommendation for 2015 Honda Fit
• The hitches offered for the 2015 Honda Fit are all Class I with a 1-1/4" opening like the Draw-Tite, # 24920. A 2" hitch is not available for the Fit. The WeatherTech BumpStep Hitch-Mounted Bumper Protector and Step, # WT81BS1, is designed for use with the 2" hitch so this step will not work with the hitch receivers available for your Honda Fit. My recommendation would be to go with a similar step like the Tube Stainless Steel Trailer Hitch Receiver Step, # CR-605. The overall width...

• Largest Cargo Box Available for a 2015 Honda Fit
• The roof racks for a 2015 Honda Fit all have around a 30" cross bar spread which is the distance between the cross bars. This is important as the wider cross bar spread you have, the larger cargo box you can carry. The Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box part # Y07337 and Yakima SkyBox 18 Rooftop Cargo Box part # Y07336 will both accommodate a crossbar spread of 30" so yes, they will fit. That said, they would be pretty large up on the roof and you won't be able to open the hatch all the...

• Recommendation for Carrying 3 Bikes on 2015 Honda Fit
• Even though all 3 bike cannot be carried on the hitch, there are a couple of ways to carry 3 bikes on your 2015 Honda Fit without having to put the 3rd bike in the car. One option is to go with a 3-bike trunk mount carrier, like the Thule Gateway XT3-Bike Rack # TH9007XT. I really like this bike rack because it offers anti-sway cradles to prevent bike-to-bike contact, grooved cradles to accommodate lines ran on the outside of your bike's frame, and narrowly spaced arms that are 12 inches...

• Trunk Mounted Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Honda Fit
• Since your 2009 Honda Fit has a spoiler on it the best option that we offer for a 2 bike, trunk mounted rack is the Hollywood Racks # HRF2. This rack offers several alternative mounting locations that will not interfere with your spoiler. The Yakima HangOut 2 Bike rack that you referenced # Y02637 is listed as a fit, but the Hollywood Racks version would be more suited for your vehicle due to your spoiler. I have included several links for your reference.

• Can a Class II Carrier Fit a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2016 Honda Fit
• Class I and Class II products typically have a 1-1/4" shank on them. If this is the case for your carrier then you can use the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11406 as long as your carrier and cargo does not exceed the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch (200 lbs) or your 2016 Honda Fit, whichever is lower. Please note that when carrying a non-trailer load, like the Curt Carrier # C18145, the Curt warranty on this trailer hitch requires that a stabilizer strap # 18050 be used to...
