  • Towing a 2007 Toyota Solara with a Chevy 3500 Pickup
  • There a few ways to do this. If your 2007 Toyota Solara has a manual transmission you can use a tow bar ans base plates to tow your vehicle. If your vehicle has the U151E transmission you would need a transmission lube pump to flat tow the vehicle or you could rent a tow dolly, which would hold the front wheels off the ground. You could also rent a 16 foot car hauler trailer. If your vehicle has the U250E transmission you will have to use a tow dolly or trailer to transport the Solara. If...

  • Hitch For 2002 Toyota Solara
  • The Curt # C12339 is the only hitch that will fit the 2002 Toyota Solara. This 1-1/4" hitch receiver would be perfect for mounting the Curt # C18065 bike rack to take your bikes to the park or on vacation. You might consider hooking up the Detail K2 # K2MMT4X6 utility trailer which is perfect for hauling home a new dishwasher, or bags of mulch, or all the gear for a weekend of camping! If you do decide to haul a small trailer you will need a 4-pole lighting connector. The Curt # C59236...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2003 Toyota Solara Convertible
  • The Thule Gateway Pro part # TH88VR is a confirmed fit for your 2003 Toyota Solara convertible. This Thule rack offers a bit more adjustability than many others and the position of the arms is going to be a great fit for you. I highly recommend this carrier and attached a video for you to check out. The weight limit on this rack is 35 pounds so you will need to determine the weight of your cruiser bike. If it weighs more than 35 pounds, we can look for another solution. Check out the...

  • Bike Rack Recommendations to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2000 Toyota Solara
  • A great trunk mounted bike rack that we carry for your 2000 Toyota Solara that will support 3 bikes is the Saris Bones 3 Bike Rack, # SA801BL. This bike rack will sit on your truck and it uses 6 straps that secure to the top, side and bottom edges of your bumper. I strongly recommend looking into installing a trailer hitch and using a hitch mounted bike rack. An advantage to using a hitch mounted bike rack over a trunk mounted bike rack is that the hitch mounted bike rack will not come...

  • Will Thule Trunk Mount Bike Racks OutWay, Archway and Gateway fit a 2006 Toyota Solara Coupe
  • The Thule Gateway Pro trunk mount bike rack # TH88VR will work with your 2006 Toyota Solara Coupe SLE (with a spoiler). To carry women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle. The top of the line Thule...

  • Recommended Backup Camera for a 2008 Toyota Solara
  • I recommend using a wired backup camera on your 2008 Toyota Solara, the Hopkins Rear View Camera part # HM60195VA or Rear View Safety Backup Camera System part # RVS-778718N. The main difference is the monitor, the former has a windshield mount monitor and the latter has a rear view mirror mount monitor. The rear view mirror mount monitor takes up much less space so if you have it in the budget, this is what I recommend.

  • Can Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount D210 Be Used to Tow a Car on a Tow Dolly and Carry Bikes
  • The Curt multipurpose ball mount # D210 will work for towing the 2008 Toyota Solara on a tow dolly while using the top receiver portion to carry the bikes on a bike rack. The total tongue weight capacity of this ball mount is 750 pounds. The tongue weight of the tow dolly and the bikes/bike rack will not exceed 750 pounds so it will work. But I have to tell you that only certain bike racks are rated for use at the back of an RV. None of the Thule racks are rated for this. I have included...

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way on 2007 Toyota Solara
  • I can help you with the parts needed to install a 7-way on your 2007 Toyota Solara but there isn't a 7-way kit specific to your vehicle. So you'll need to start with a 4-way and then convert to a 7-way. For the 4-way you'll want the part # C59496. Now if your trailer does not have brakes all you would need is the part # 37185 as an adapter to convert the 4-way to a 7-way. If you do have trailer brakes you would need the # ETBC7 instead of the # 37185 and a brake controller. This kit...

  • Compatibility of Kuat Sherpa 2.0 and 2008 Toyota Solara Convertible
  • Yes, the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack part # SH12G that you referenced would be an excellent choice for a bike rack for you 2008 Toyota Solara with a Curt Hitch part # C12110 installed. The Sherpa 2.0 has a distance of 11 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the platform of the rack when in the down position and 7-1/2 inches from the pin hole to the platform of the rack when folded up so it would have more than enough clearance. Because you have a Curt hitch you will also need...

  • Will the Draw Tite Hitch for a 2002 Toyota Solara Tow a Small Trailer
  • The Draw Tite Hitch part # 36336 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2002 Toyota Solara. It has the towing capacities of 3,500 lbs total trailer weight and 300 lbs tongue weight. As long as your vehicle's owners manual states that you have the capacity needed to tow the weight of your trailer you would be fine to do so. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # C59496. For a ball mount part # 36061, for a...

  • Roof Mounted Cargo Bag for a 2013 Toyota Solara 2-Door Coupe
  • The Rightline Sport Jr. # RL100S50 is going to be the best option for your 2002 Toyota Solara coupe. It is the shortest bag that will fit a naked roof. Since the windows are not framed in the door the chance that water could seep in is a little higher than on a vehicle that does have a full frame around the window. Please note that the straps running through the interior of the vehicle can reduce headroom. In addition to the bag I also recommend protective pad # RL100650. the pad will...

  • Recommended Hitch Bike Rack for a 2010 Mini Cooper S
  • You are right on the money with your comparison between a hanging style and platform style bike rack. However, another fallback of a hanging style bike rack is if you have any bikes with an alternative frame like most women's bikes then you will need to use an adapter bar to keep them level which will increase the overall price of your setup. The platform style bike rack will also be able to accept a much larger selection of bikes like those that weigh over 35 lbs. Therefore, I recommend...

  • Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2008 Toyota Solara
  • For your 2008 Toyota Solara the hitch to use for a bike rack is the Curt hitch part # C12110 which is a confirmed fit. I'd recommend finding one near you with a good reputation and letting them install it. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video...

  • Four Pole Trailer Light Kit for a 2002 Toyota Solara
  • I recommend Curt's powered tail light converter kit, part # C59236 for your 2002 Toyota Solara. This kit installs quickly and relatively easily to the wiring that exists in your vehicle (There is some splicing involved), and includes a powered converter that connects to the battery to help your vehicle manage the power needs of the trailer. I've included a video install of this kit onto a 2011 Audi A4 so you can get an idea of the installation process for this kit. If you haven't picked...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2005 Toyota Solara Convertible
  • I spoke with my contact at Thule and she stated that you can add a 2 bike trunk mount bike rack to your 2005 Toyota Solara. That does include the Thule Passage 2, # TH910XT, that you have referenced. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video review of this bike rack for you. The bike rack I recommend is the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. This is one of Thules newest bike racks. What makes this rack stand out among other racks is the 2 rubber coated straps it...

  • For your 2007 Toyota Solara with a naked roof we have the Inno Roof Rack part numbers # INB127, # INSUT, # INJK, and # INK709 which is a confirmed fit that would work well. This is our only option for your vehicle, but Inno makes great racks so this will be a great setup.
