Expert Answers about Toyota Venza
- Curt or Draw Tite Hitch for 2015 Toyota Venza to Carry Thule T2 Bike Rack
- If you want the best quality overall and stability I would go with Curt # 13356 for your 2015 Toyota Venza. We have found that the Curt hitches tend to have the best quality control and just overall quality. This will work great with the Thule T2 part # TH83JV.
view full answer... - Does Using a Weight Distribution System Increase the Towing Capacity of a 2009 Toyota Venza
- Any vehicle's towing capacity is set in stone. If the maximum for your 2009 Toyota Venza is 3,500 pounds then it cannot tow more than that whether you are using weight distribution or not and regardless of what the hitches are rated for.
Check the vehicle owner's manual because sometimes vehicles can have a weight carrying capacity (not using weight distribution) and a separate capacity listed when using weight distribution. But I am fairly certain that your Venza is limited to 3,500 pounds...
view full answer... - Roof Mount Bike Rack for a Carbon Racing Bike and 2009 Toyota Venza with Rhino Rack Roof Rack
- For an excellent rack that will work with your carbon racing bike I recommend the fork mount rack # RBC035. This is one of the most stable racks since it has 2 straps at the front to secure the rack to the roof rack. This creates a stable ride for the bike.
I have linked a video review of this rack. You can see in the video we have put a heavier bike on it than a carbon racing bike for the test course portion of the video. Even with a heavy bike on the rack it is still very stable and...

view full answer... - Difference Between Class I, II, and III Trailer Hitch Receivers
- The main difference between trailer hitch classes is the towing capacity (GTW) and tongue weight capacity (TW). Typically class I and II hitches come with a 1-1/4" receiver instead of a 2" receiver but there are a few on the market that do have a 2" receiver. Most trailer hitch accessories, like bike racks or cargo carriers for example, are made to fit 2" receivers. There are some that fit 1-1/4" receiver but with a 2" receiver you can always use a reducer to have a 1-1/4" accessory fit....
view full answer... - Does Exhaust have to be Lowered to Install Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Toyota Venza All-Wheel Drive
- According to the instructions for Curt hitch # 13356, linked for reference, lowering of the exhaust is required on all models. And on AWD models you also have to disconnect the sway bar brackets like you said. It might be possible to angle the hitch in without lowering the exhaust but it would be difficult.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or...
view full answer... - Best Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2023 Toyota Venza For Bike Rack
- Absolutely, and the best trailer hitch receiver for your 2023 Toyota Venza is going to be either the Curt or etrailer hitch. I mention both because they are the same hitch, just with different finishes - the Curt has a glossy finish while the etrailer has a matte black finish.
The reason to go with one of these is because they have the best ground and bumper clearance, keeping your rack higher up off the ground and away from your Venza. The correct part numbers for the hitches that fit...
view full answer... - Yakima Sweet Roll Kayak Carrier Recommendation for Loading a Double Kayak From Rear of Vehicle
- The Yakima Sweet Roll part # Y04074 that you referenced will fit square/rectangular crossbars and will allow you to load the kayak from the rear of the vehicle. If you check out the review video I attached around the 2:10 mark you can see how this carrier allows the install of a kayak from the rear of the vehicle by sliding it on.
As long as your kayak weighs less than 80 lbs (which I checked and it does) this carrier would fit and work well.
view full answer... - Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Venza and 2004 Toyota Matrix
- Because of the upper spoiler-trim piece on the Venza, the trunk mount bike rack I recommend for your 2013 Toyota Venza and 2004 Toyota Matrix is the Hollywood Racks Over-The-Top 3 Bike Rack for Vehicles with Spoilers # HRF2-3.
This bike rack is designed to take any weight, that more traditional trunk mount bike racks would place on the spoiler, off of the spoiler by moving the attachment points of the straps on the rack up higher. The # HRF2-3 can carry 3 bikes and has a weight capacity...
view full answer... - Wider Spread Roof Rack Recommendation for 2015 Toyota Venza with Naked Roof
- The only wider crossbar roof rack we have available for your 2015 Toyota Venza is the Yakima part numbers # Y00409, # Y28TR, # Y03536, # Y06129, and # Y06131 that you mentioned which has 33 inches of crossbar spread.
Most Thule roof accessories that are designed for square bars are also designed for round bars so this should still work great for you.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install 7-Way and Brake Controller on 2021 Toyota Venza
- We can easily help with trailer wiring that fits your 2021 Toyota Venza to control the trailer lighting and brakes but you have to install a 4-way first like with the custom fit # C57ER, convert it to a 7-way with an adapter so that you can then wire in a brake controller.
For a brake controller I really like the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which once plugged into an active 7-way and synced to a smart phone is ready to tow with. So then for a 7-way adapter you'd just need the # ETBC7L...
view full answer... - Will Handsfree Liftgate of 2021 Toyota Venza Work with Trailer Hitch Installed
- We've not had any customers come back and have issues with the hands free lift gate of their 2021 Toyota Venza after the install of the Draw Tite hitch part # DT46MR you referenced. At worst you might have to kick to either side of the hitch opening. This is also true for the Curt that fits your vehicle as well part # C89UR.

- I reached out to Progressive Dynamics to find a replacement for your WFCO wf9960 that will give you an output of 14.5 VDC. For an equivalent converter/charger you need the Progressive Dynamics RV Power Control Center with AC/DC Panel and Converter/Smart Charger - 60 Amp # PD4560K18LS8 (PD4560A).
This uses a custom charging profile for lithium and multistage charging for lead acid. It has a high voltage output to provide a full, quick charge for your lithium batteries. It has an output...

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C89UR
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2013 Toyota Venza
- For your 2013 Toyota Venza I recommend Curt Class III trailer hitch # 13356. My father-in-law also has a 2013 Venza and this is the hitch we put on his car. I have linked a video showing that installation for you.
The hitch has help up quite well over the years and they have been very happy with it. They also use it for carrying bikes.
For a compatible bike rack that will work with mountain bikes I recommend the Kuat Transfer # KU74FR. This rack holds the bikes at the wheels. It tilts...
view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation that Fits 2011 Toyota Venza with Sunroof
- Yakima has a roof rack that fits the 2011 Toyota Venza with a naked roof and a sunroof, but Thule does not have any fits so I can't recommend any of them for you.
For an aero style roof rack that fits you'd want the Yakima Corebar roof rack part numbers # Y00422, # Y28TR, # Y06129, and # Y06131 which is a confirmed fit.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Confirmed to Fit a 2023 Toyota Venza
- For your 2023 Toyota Venza, I like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25AR. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide a 2" hitch receiver. The 2" receiver is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. It also has a matte black finish that I think looks better installed than the gloss finish options.
If you plan to do any towing, you can round out a tow package by adding the Curt...

view full answer... - Thule Roof Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Venza with a Factory Roof Rack
- We have several Thule roof mounted bike racks that will fit on the factory crossbars on your 2013 Toyota Venza. For a wheel mount style bike rack, you will want to look at the Thule UpRide, # TH599000. For a fork mount bike rack, I recommend the Thule FastRide, # TH95JV. These two bike racks use universal mounting hardware that can accommodate wider factory style crossbars.
I have attached the installation instructions and videos for each of these bike racks for you to check out.
view full answer... - Brake Controller and 7-way Adapter Wiring Recommendation for a 2011 Toyota Venza
- Yes, the Tekonsha P2 # 90885 is a great brake controller for your 2011 Toyota Venza.
I would instead recommend the # ETBC7 kit over the Hopkins # 37185, because it includes all the parts you will need like circuit breakers, wires, butt connectors, ring terminals, and even a circuit tester included to install the 7-way on your Venza. If you decide to go with the Hopkins adapter then I recommend the 10-gauge wire like # 10-1-1, butt connectors like # 05732-2, ring terminals like # DW05741-1,...
