• Recommended 2-Bike Class I Hitch Racks for 2014 Scion xB
• One of my favorite 2-bike hitch racks for a Class I hitch like your Curt # C12490 is the Curt # C18085. I like this wheel-mount style rack for several reasons: it is moderately priced, it is lightweight - only 20-lbs, it has an 80-lbs total bike weight rating and it provides a generous 12-inches of clearance from it's hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier. As a wheel-mount rack, it avoids stress on the bikes' frames since they make no contact with the rack. As a bonus, this...

• Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2011 scion xB RS 8.0
• Due to the center exhaust used on the RS 8.0, I'm sorry to say that the hitches we offer wouldn't work. However, if you were wanting to use the hitch to carry bicycles, we do have a solution that would help you with that. We have numerous trunk/hatch mounted bike racks that are compatible with your xB. I really like the relative simplicity of the Thule Gateway Pro, part # TH88VR for the 2 bike model or # TH78VR for a 3 bike. Thule is one of the premier bike rack manufacturers, their products...

• Kayak Carrying Recommendations for 2008 Scion xB with Thule Square Bar Roof Rack
• We have exactly what you're needing. I'd recommend the etrailer.com Folding Universal Mount J-style Kayak Carrier, part # e98878. This carrier includes everything you'll need, the tie down straps, the bow/stern tie downs and the anchor straps that can be shut in the rear hatch and the front of the hood to eliminate the need for hooks. These carriers are sold individually, so for both kayaks you'd need two of them. Or, a lower cost alternative would be a single carrier that would hold the...

• Recommended Flat-Towing Components For 2014 Scion xB
• We do offer base plates designed to fit your 2014 Scion xB if it has no foglights. I do recommend you contact your dealership to see if flat-towing your Scion is allowed or what restrictions there are when towing.

• If your 2008 Scion xB has no rails or crossbars I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex roof rack system.

• Trailer Hitch For 2011 Scion xB Release
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12490 is a custom fit for the 2011 Scion xB base model. The hitch fits this generation of the xB. The Release series center exhaust is on the 2010 model but we still don't list this as a confirmed fit because of the body kit on the 2011 Release. Your 2011 will mount the same way but you would need to modify your body kit by trimming to accommodate the receiver tube. If you're looking to carry a bike rack or cargo I would get a roof rack. This will be...
