Compatibility of Hitch from 2009 Scion xB with 2005 xB
The Curt Class I hitch you've looked at, part # C11487 is a fit for your 2005 xB. Since the 2005 xB and the 2009 model are from two different generations, the hitch from the 2009 will not fit your 2005 model.

Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar Compatibility with Thule and Yakima Roof Bike Carriers
Yes, the T-Track hardware included on the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack # TH599000 will let you install it properly in the top channels of Rhino-Rack's Vortex roof crossbars. On your 2012 Scion xB you'll want to order and install Rhino-Rack parts # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK152 to complete your roof rack. The Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 and HighRoad # Y02114 bike carriers you referenced will also fit the roof rack but these will install by clamping around the bars. For the HighRoad you...

Is Roadmaster Base Plate Kit 1187-3A For 2015 Scion xB Compatible With Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1187-3A you were looking at for your 2015 Scion xB will work perfectly with the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain # RM-522 you have. To complete your flat tow setup you will need wiring, a supplemental braking system, and safety cables if you do not already have them. I recommend the following parts: Wiring: Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7 Supplemental...

Can A Trailer Hitch Be Used On A 2014 Scion xB If There's No Tongue Weight Or Towing Capacity Listed
I checked the online version of the manual as well and it definitely does state that the vehicle is not rated for towing a trailer or cargo mounted hitch accessories so all of the people doing this are essentially taking on any liability in the event that the hitch failed or damaged the vehicle. There's also no listed capacity so it's a gamble on how much weight would cause a failure. If you're willing to take on this liability then you could install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #...

Tow Bar, Base Plates and Accessories Recommendation for the 2010 Scion xB
The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 1187-1A, is a complete base plate kit and the draw bars are not interchangeable amongst base plate kits. If you need a tow bar for towing a 2008-2010 Scion xB, with the # 1187-1A base plate kit, I would recommend the RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - 6,000 lbs, item # RM-520. This is our most popular tow bar and is easy to connect and disconnect from the towed vehicle. You will also need wiring, a power cord and safety cables to complete your towing setup....

Class I and II Trailer Hitches and Accessories are 1-1/4 Inch
Class II trailer hitches and accessories all have 1-1/4 inch receivers/shanks. Class III accessories and hitches are 2 inch. If you have a Class I or Class II trailer hitch then you are supposed to use the ball mount recommended by the trailer hitch manufacturer for warranty reasons. If you have a 2004 Scion xB then all of the hitches for it are Class I trailer hitches and you should be using ball mount # C45521. I have included some links on hitch classes and ball mounts for you.

Will a Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Scion xB fit a 2008 Scion xB
The hitches that are built to fit a 2005 Scion xB will not fit a 2008 Scion xB. The 2007 xB brought a new body that included some frame changes which is why the hitches for the 2004-2006 models will not fit the newer models. For your 2008 Scion xB you can use one of three hitches: Curt part # 12490 or Draw-Tite part # 24815. I have added links to these hitches below as well as to a video of the Curt hitch being installed on a 2008 xB and the instructions for the Draw-Tite part.

Compatibility Of Rhino-Rack Load Assist with Hitch Expander Adapter for Class II Trailer Hitch
The Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149 will work with a Class II hitch and hitch expander like # HTAD. Using an adapter like this will lower the weight capacity of your hitch by 50% so the load assist will be limited to that weight capacity.

Dolly Towing a Scion XB with Automatic Transmission
You can tow your 2014 Scion XB with an automatic transmission but it must be dolly towed. The front wheels will need to be off the ground while towing. I recommend using the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 for your Scion. When not needed it folds up to nearly half of its normal length saving you space when not being used. The inclusion of surge activated disc brakes means that you won't have to install any additional brake controller inside your motorhome.

Will SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box Fit a 2009 Scion xB with Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack
If the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series roof rack you have for your 2009 Scion xB has the Euro-style square bars, # RREB137B, then the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box - Roof Mount - 18 cu ft - Black Item # SR7018 will fit for sure. If you have the Vortex bars, # RRVA137B-2, then it will likely fit though it will be a little tight and you may have to move the position of one of the crossbars a smidge.

Trailer Hitch Needed to Carry 2 Bikes with a 2006 Scion xB
You are correct that an adapter will need to be used to carry an accessory when the (discontinued) Draw-Tite Invisi-Hitch 28501 is installed on your 2006 Scion xB . This is due to the vertical configuration of the hitch receiver. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11487 will have less clearance from where the hitch receiver is located, but since your bike rack will install directly into the hitch receiver you will not see as much play. Since the Curt warranty requires a support strap,...

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...

Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring Harness and Ball Mount For a 2008 Scion XB Release Trim
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12490 is confirmed by Curt to fit all trims of your 2008 Scion xB including the Release. They were unable to confirm the fitment with your Ken Style body kit but said as long as it doesn't lower the bodywork you shouldn't have to do any trimming. Curt recommends using the Ball Mount # C45521 for your Scion. This will need to be paired with either a 1-7/8" Ball # A-80 or 2" Hitch Ball # A-82 to match your trailer coupler. For the trailer lighting the...

Will the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack Support an Extension Ladder on a 2013 Scion xB
You can carry an extension ladder on your 2013 Scion xB with the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack, but there are a few factors you will want to take into consideration. Once this roof rack is installed, you will have a crossbar spread of 45 inches. The crossbar spread is the distance from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. The most important factor to consider is the weight of the ladder. The Yakima Q-Tower crossbars have a weight capacity of 165 lbs, however,...

Will the FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 fit a 2005 Scion xB
I checked with Yakima and the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2005 Scion xB. The Fullback # Y02634 comes with locks for the rack and the locks. If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Yakima Tube Top Adapter Bar # Y02531 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product...

Will the Curt Cargo Carrier Part # C18145 Fit a 2005 Scion xB
In order make sure the Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18145 will fit your 2005 Scion xB you will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole to the outer edge of the bumper. As long as this distance does not exceed 7-1/4" then it will work well for you. If you do not already have a trailer hitch then you will need one to use the cargo carrier and for that I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11487 along with the Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap part # 18050. There...

Availability of 4 Bike Hitch Bike Rack for a 2009 Scion xB
I have three hitches available for a 2009 Scion xB and they are all 1-1/4 inch size hitches. Two of the hitches are Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches that can only carry a maximum of two bikes. The CURT Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 12490, is a Class II hitch which can carry 4 bikes, but since the CURT hitch is a 1-1/4 inch hitch and the Tow Ready 4 Bike Hitch Rack, part # 63124, you have referenced is for a 2 inch hitch, it will not fit on your Scion xB. If you use the CURT # 12490 hitch...
