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 Thule OutWay 2 Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2007 Toyota Prius and 2008 Scion xB
The Thule OutWay 2 Trunk Mount Bike Rack, # TH45JV, will fit a 2008 Scion xB and a 2007 Toyota Prius. I have also included links to all of the trunk mount bike racks that will fit each car. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the Bike Adapter Bar, # TH982XT, in order to carry the bikes more level. I have included a link to a video showing how the adapter works.

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 #...

Can Rhino Rack Square Bars Be Cut Down To Fit A 2014 Scion xB
For a 2014 Scion xB we recommend the Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars # RB1375B-2, which are 54" in length. As for cutting down longer Rhino Rack square bars, which I don't recommend, you would need a miter saw with a metal cutting blade and could cut the bars to your specific needs. The end caps would need to be removed first so that you could add them on once you finish cutting. You'll also want to paint any exposed metal after cutting. If you need the mounting hardware for...

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 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...

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.

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....

How to Transport a Powerchair with a 2006 Scion xB
I can definitely offer a solution to transport your wife's heavy powerchair but you are in a bit of a pickle. Your 2006 Scion xB was designed as a passenger vehicle which is why there is only 1 trailer hitch available, the Class I Curt # C11487 with the 1-1/4" receiver, and your owner's manual advises against towing anything with it. With that being said, the safest option for you is to use a small trailer to transport the powerchair. This trailer hitch has a tongue weight capacity of...

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.

Can Tire Chains Be Used on 2008 Scion xB with Larger Aftermarket Wheels and Tires
The online edition of the owner's manual for the 2008 Scion xB indicates on page 251 that S-Class chains can be installed on the front tires only. It further states that cable and V-bar type chains cannot be used. This information is based on Toyota's assumption that you have stock wheels and the stock 205/55-16 tires on the car. Aftermarket products such as larger wheels and wider tires can prevent safe use of chains because the increased diameter and width of your tires will reduce the...

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,...

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.

Can Roof Rack Be Installed with Larger Distance Between Crossbars than What Instructions Advise
According to Rhino Rack, the crossbars should be spaced 27-9/16 inches apart, center on center as shown in the provided diagram. Rhino rack chooses the specific mounting points for the crossbars based on where the strongest points of the roof are located. If you were to install the roof rack at a different distance apart, your rack would have an unknown weight capacity which could damage the rack or the vehicle roof if you unintentionally overloaded the rack. If there was something specific...

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.
