Expert Answers about Toyota Venza


  • Easiest to Install Trailer Hitch & Wiring Harness For 2022 Toyota Venza
  • Let's go ahead and start with the hitch, and the easiest install on your 2022 Toyota Venza is the hitch from Curt. The reason for that is you only need to bolt the hitch on, so what you need is the following part number: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C89UR Then for the wiring harness, while I wouldn't classify any as "easy" necessarily, the less complex is the T-Connector that plugs into taillight housing. The ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT is certainly reliable,...

  • Options for Carrying Two Hobie Kayaks with a 2009 Toyota Venza
  • I may have a solution that will allow you to load your Hobie Pro Angler 14 kayak on the roof rack of your 2009 Toyota Venza, but before you select a kayak carrier for your vehicle, I strongly recommend checking the weight capacity of your vehicle's roof. The weight capacity of most vehicle roofs is not very high and this information should be located in your owners manual. It is likely that you will not be able to safely load both kayaks on your roof due to the weight of both kayaks....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2023 Toyota Venza
  • We can definitely set you up! For your 2023 Toyota Venza I recommend the etrailer class 3 hitch # e25AR. The matte black powder coat is durable, and will blend nicely with the back bumper. This thing is rated for 3,500 lb towing so it will be plenty strong for your kayak trailer. If you are in need of a ball mount and ball we have the Curt starter kit # C45534. This will include everything you need to hitch your trailer to your vehicle. For the wiring I recommend the Curt T connector...

  • 2016 Toyota Venza Bike Rack and Trailer Hitch Recommendations for 4 Bikes
  • I recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e22AR 2016 Toyota Venza so we can get you set up with a hitch mounted bike rack. Then for a bike rack I really like the Thule Apex Swing XT # TH9027XT because it allows you to swing the rack out of the way so you get full hatch access without having to remove any of the bikes. The swinging feature is really simple to use as well which is another reason I like this rack. A lot of the racks that have the swinging feature are a...

  • Comparing Trailer Hitch Options for a 2013 Toyota Venza
  • For starters I recommend going with a 2" hitch receiver over the 1-1/4" receiver for your 2013 Toyota Venza. The 1-1/4" options tend to have more restrictions as to what they can be used with when it comes to accessories. As for the Draw-Tite # 75663 and the Curt # 13356, these trailer hitches are nearly identical as they have the same weight capacities and designs. The only real difference between the 2 options is that the Curt hitch was made in the USA. I have attached installation...

  • Least Visible Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Toyota Venza
  • I have included a link to the instructions and to a video showing a typical installation of hitch # 75663 so you can see what it would look like when installed. The round tube designs do match the contours of the vehicle better but ultimately on any hitch you will see the cross tube of the hitch at the back of the vehicle. I do recommend the Draw-Tite hitch, # 75663 that you have referenced. It is a popular hitch and the 2 inch receiver is compatible with a lot of accessories. be sure...

  • Brake Controller Installation Recommendation for a 2011 Toyota Venza
  • Since it sounds like you already have a 4-way trailer wiring harness installed on your 2011 Toyota Venza all you would need to install the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 is the part # ETBC7. This kit comes with everything needed to convert the 4-way to a 7-way and install the brake controller. I attached an install video and instructions for you to check out as well. If you didn't have a 4-way you would need the part # 118482 as well.

  • 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...

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Luggage System for 2013 Toyota Venza
  • For your 2013 Toyota Venza, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for Naked Roofs - Vortex Aero Crossbars # RR37YR. This is a confirmed fit for your Venza and I've attached a video to assist with installation. Since you will be carrying luggage, I also recommend the Rightline Gear Ace 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100A20 or a roof box like # MPG902 for a quality and cost effective option. Let me know if you have further questions.

  • Diamond Pattern Tire Chains for a 2011 Toyota Venza with Tire Size 245/55R19
  • We do offer several tire chains and cables that fit the 245/55-19 tire size but none of the Thule chains will fit. For diamond pattern chains that fit this size we have # TC2324. These chains also come with built-in rubber tensioners so no additional adjusters are needed. They are color coded for easy installation. Before purchasing any tire chains you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual for specific information or restrictions on the use of chains. I have included a link to...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2013 Toyota Venza
  • There are 2 Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver options for your 2013 Toyota Venza; one with a 1-1/4 inch receiver # 36512 and the other with a 2 inch receiver # 75663. We always recommend going with a 2 inch receiver over a 1-1/4 inch receiver because you will be able to use more accessories and get more out of a 2 inch receiver. The Draw-Tite # 75663 has a Tongue Weight (TW) capacity of 350 lbs and a Gross Towing Weight (GTW) capacity of 3,500 lbs. If you were to use a Weight Distribution...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack for a 2013 Toyota Venza with Rear Spoiler
  • For a trunk mount bike rack that locks and holds 2 bikes that limits the options to the ThuleOutWay, # TH45JV. It is actually my number one choice for a rack and comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes. I have actually tested the rack on a 2011 Venza. It works but it does but some stress on that spoiler. If that is a concern I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top rack, # HRF2. This rack has an additional upper arm piece that moves the strap up and over the spoiler so no...

  • 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.

  • Ball Mount Recommendation for 2015 Toyota Venza for 3-1/2 inches of Rise
  • For your 2015 Toyota Venza with a 2 inch trailer hitch like the Curt part # 13356 you want to go with a ball mount that allows the trailer to be towed as level as possible. Based on the dimensions you listed you would need a rise of 3-1/2 inches so that the trailer can be towed level. Since we don't have exactly 3-1/2 inches of rise the best choice is a 4 inch rise since the Venza's suspension is most likely going to settle a bit with the tongue weight of the hitch on it and put you right...

  • Draw Tite Trailer Hitches that Fit 2009 Toyota Venza
  • Draw Tite has hitches that fit your 2009 Toyota Venza with the part # 75663 for a 2 inch hitch or the part # 36512 for a 1-1/4 inch hitch. I am not sure what part number you have but it doesn't sound like you have the correct fits.

  • Adapter Recommendation for Vehicle 4-Way to Charge Trailer Battery
  • Yes, the Adapter part # 30717 would work for both vehicles you have so that you can run a charge wire to your vehicle battery. To complete the 12 volt circuit you will need to run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 (sold by the foot) through a circuit breaker like part # 9510 to the positive terminal of your battery. The rest of the wires would need to be just taped up and secured out of the way.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Toyota Venza Hybrid
  • I have a different option for you, but the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT82MR is not confirmed to fit your 2021 Toyota Venza Hybrid as it was designed for the Volkswagen Amarok. For your vehicle you will need the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # DT46MR which will fit your Hybrid model just fine and gives a 525lb tongue weight rating and 3500lb trailer weight rating. If you are planning on towing a trailer with your Venza you will also need a vehicle wiring harness # C57ER, and a ball...
