Expert Answers about Toyota Matrix


  • Parts Needed For Flat Towing a 2003 Toyota Matrix With a Motorhome 6-Pin Connector
  • Currently our selection of flat tow wiring kits only have 7-way or 4-way RV connections. If you already have your baseplate, and tow bar the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 will allow you change out the 7-Way Connector # A7WCB for a 6-Pin Connector # PK11604. Then you will have a 6-pin connector on both sides of the removable harness. Then you will only need the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to maintain your battery. If you are still...

  • How to Determine the Correct Size Ball to Use For Towing with a 2005 Toyota Matrix and # 24812 Hitch
  • Selecting the proper hitch ball has more to do with the trailer coupler and gross weight of the trailer than the trailer hitch installed on your vehicle. The coupler ball size will be stamped into the coupler somewhere, usually on the top. With the 3593 draw bar a short shank ball with a 3/4 inch diameter shank is recommended. We have an article detailing ball selection and information for you to review (see link). If your trailer has a 2 inch coupler and is no heavier than 3,500 pounds...

  • What Parts Are Needed To Tow A Trailer With A 2010 Toyota Matrix
  • If you plan on towing a trailer then wiring and a ball mount would be necessary as well. For the wiring you'll need the Tekonsha T-One Wire Harness # 118460. For the ball mount you'll need to know the ball size for the coupler (1-7/8, 2", 2-5/16") and how much of a rise or drop is needed. I've attached a link below to a help article that will walk you through the measuring process for the correct rise or drop.

  • Parts Needed for Installation of Electric Brakes on a Coleman Pop-Up Camper With 8 Inch Wheels
  • The 8 inch diameter wheel on your Coleman Fleetwood pop-up camper is not large enough to accept an electric brake hub and drum assembly. Seven inch brake assemblies like # 23-48 that you selected work with the Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly, item # 8-257-5UC3, which will fit in wheels starting at 10 inches in diameter. You would need to upgrade your wheels and tires to either a 5.30-12 load range c wheel and tire combination, or a 205/65-10 load range c wheel and tire to meet the capacity...

  • Replacement Parts for Thule Rapid Traverse Feet
  • I have a solution for you but the Thule Rapid Traverse foot # 7522249001 you've got mounts to the vehicle with vehicle specific fit kit pieces; it looks like the fit kit is damaged and there is not a fit kit for the 2003 Toyota Matrix since it has raised side rails. The good news is that you can continue to use the Thule Aero style bars you got but you will need different feet. The feet that are compatible with your aero bars and your Matrix are the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars...

  • Equipment Needed to Flat Tow 2007 Toyota Matrix Behind Motorhome
  • I'd be happy to help you with that. You'll need a tow bar, base plates, safety cables, a taillight wiring harness, a supplemental braking sytem and possibly a high/low adapter. For a tow bar, I'd recommend the Blue Ox Alpha 2, part # BX7380. The tow bar self aligns and the arms will lock into place without binding up as you drive away. No need to have the vehicle perfectly lined up behind the motorhome. Safety cables are included with the tow bar. For base plates, I'd go with # BX3759...
