Expert Answers about Toyota Matrix


  • Which Trunk Mount 2-Bike Rack Will Fit a 2004 Toyota Matrix with Roofline Spoiler
  • A great choice in a trunk-mount 2-bike rack for instances like yours where the vehicle has a rear spoiler at the roof line is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2. This rack features a unique design that is ideal for vehicles with spoilers since its support arms extend up and over the spoiler. A 3-bike version is also available, part # HRF2-3. I have linked at right a product review video that illustrates these carriers.

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Options for a 2009 Toyota Matrix with Naked Roof
  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack clamps, # DK185, will fit a 2009 Toyota Matrix. This is only part of the roof rack though and is made to fit on a naked roof (no type of roof rack at all already on the vehicle). There are some options for the remainder of the roof rack. You can use the Vortex bars, # RRVA126B-2 with foot pack # RRRLKVA. And finally, if you like heavy duty bars use # DH1250S. All of these systems use # DK185 on a 2009 Toyota Matrix.

  • Will the Thule OutWay Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2003 Toyota Matrix
  • Yes, the ThulOutWay # TH45JV, will fit a 2003 Toyota Matrix. If you will be carrying women's, children's, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar, # TH982XT, to carry the bikes more level. I have included a helpful link to a video that shows how the adapter works. I have also included a link to all of the trunk mount bike racks that will fit your Matrix.

  • Can the Edge Insight Comprehensive Gauge Display be Switched to Different Vehicles
  • The Edge Insight, # EP84130, will fit in any 1996 and newer vehicle that has an OBD-II port, so you can switch it to a different vehicle. Because this device is a comprehensive gauge display and does not tune the engine, additional programming, other than periodic updates to the software, are not required.

  • Can Curt Trailer Hitch on 2007 Toyota Matrix XR Handle More Than Rated Tongue Weight
  • Like you mentioned, the highest tongue weight rating for a trailer hitch on your 2007 Toyota Matrix XR is the 250 lbs of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12221. I can't recommend going over that amount at all, even at lower speeds, as it is not rated for or tested for more than 250 lbs and exceeding that will not only put undue stress on the hitch, but also void the warranty. So you will definitely want to stay at or below the 250 lb limit to ensure you can safely get to your destination...

  • Cable Style Tire Chains for 2010 Toyota Matrix
  • Glacier cable style chains # PW1034 will fit your 2010 Toyota Matrix if it has 205/55-16 tires. If you have 215/45-18 tires then you would use # PW1038. I included a picture of what the tire size on a tire looks like. In the picture that is a 205/75-15 tire. For either set I also recommend rubber tensioners # PW99 to keep the chains tight.

  • 2003 Toyota Matrix XR Trailer Hitch Receiver Options
  • You have two options that will work with the 2003 Toyota Matrix XR models. Both are Class II 1-1/4 inch hitch receivers, but there are some visual and capacity differences between the two. The Draw-Tite option # 24812 will be more visible than the other and will have less capacity. The Curt option # C12013 which I recommend is less visible and has more weight capacity. I recommend the Curt option because it's more hidden and has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,500 lbs and a maximum...

  • Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C12221 and the Swagman XC S64650 Work on a 2009 Toyota Matrix
  • The Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C12221, and the Swagman XC, part # S64650, will work well on your 2009 Toyota Matrix. The only other thing that you will want to keep in mind is that per the Curt warranty you will need to use a Support Strap # 18050 for any non-trailer loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier, otherwise the warranty is void. If you would like to add some security to your setup, I recommend using the Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable # S64031 which will help to...

  • What Trailer Hitches Will Fit 2009 Toyota Matrix XRS Without Any Trimming Of The Rear Fascia
  • On the Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch, # 24812, it will fit on your 2009 Toyota Matrix XRS with the lower rear fascia. The rear fascia has a center section that will have to be removed when you install the hitch. It is not hard to remove that section because it is made to be removed for a trailer hitch installation. Also needed for towing would be the Draw-Tite Ball Mount, # 3593, and either the Tow Ready 1-7/8 Inch Hitch Ball, # 19256, or the Tow Ready 2 Inch Hitch Ball, # 19258. The...

  • The Swagman XC2 Wheel Mount Bike Rack, item # S64650, does work with Class I hitches.
