Expert Answers about Toyota Venza

• Recommended Roof Rack for a Hullavator on a 2011 Toyota Venza w/ the Moonroof and No Side Rails
• To use the Thule Hullavator item # TH898 on your 2011 Toyota Venza you're going to need to install a set of crossbars that extend 4" - 8" past the roof racks legs. This allows the lift assist function of the Hullavator to work. Since your Venza does not have a roof rack and you have the glass roof there aren't many options. There is a roof rack that will work for you since you do not have the side rails. You will want the roof rack by Yakima and it includes the following parts: Yakima...

It is important to check your owner's manual for your vehicle's maximum towing capacity and tongue weight capacity before deciding what cargo you want to...

• Will Changing from a 55W Bulb to an 85W CIPA EVO Alfas Bulb CM93442 Damage Vehicle Wiring
• A watt is the amount of work done when current flows through at a certain voltage. In terms of light bulbs like the # CM93442 CIPA EVO Alfas you referenced, this would be how much light is emitted when the light is installed in a 12V system on a vehicle. The increased wattage itself will not harm the vehicle lighting system. Your concern will be whether the increased amperage would be too much for the circuit to handle. Comparing a 85W bulb to a 55W bulb, you would be seeing an increase...

• Will The Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier # TH45JV Fit My 2009 Toyota Venza
• I contacted our representative at Thule and she confirmed that the item you selected, Thule OutWay 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH45JV, will fit your 2009 Toyota Venza. The representative at Thule informed me that you will be limited to a 2 bike trunk mounted rack, so the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier, part # TH56BV, will not work on your 2009 Toyota Venza. The reason it will not work, is because the vehicle can only support the weight of 2 bikes. If you will be carrying women, children or alternative...

• Can a Roof Rack Be Installed on a 2023 Toyota Venza Panoramic Roof
• I checked with all of our roof rack manufacturers and unfortunately at this time (Oct 2023) there aren't any roof rack options to fit with the panoramic roof on your 2023 Toyota Venza, and I don't foresee that changing anytime in the near future. As an alternative I recommend installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25AR which can be used for a variety of things like bike racks and cargo carriers, plus it's easier to load things at the back of your vehicle as opposed to getting...

• What is the Least Noticeable Hitch on the 2009 Toyota Venza
• All of the hitches available at this time for your 2009 Toyota Venza are round tube style hitches and will be positioned just under the center of the rear fascia on your vehicle when properly installed. The most inconspicuous hitch would most likely be the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch with Drawbar, item # C12341. The opening on this hitch is smaller therefore less visible but will be positioned the same as the other hitches for your vehicle. With the Class 2 hitch you will not have as many...

• Is The MORryde X-Factor Crossmember Compatible With The MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizer
• Yes, the MORryde Shock Absorbing Suspension Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 35" Wheelbase - 8K # MR27ZR is a CRE style equalizer so it will be a compatible fit with the MORryde X-Factor Crossmember # MR33WR. I highly recommend upgrading your shackle straps and switching to wet bolts as well while completing this installation. Since you'll have to remove the bolts currently holding your equalizer in place you'll already be doing half the work so it's worth it to slip in wet bolts...

• How Visible Is the Draw-Tite #75663 Installed on 2011 Toyota Venza
• Hidden Hitch (which is the same model as the Draw-Tite) is a brand name, and will not necessarily describe how visible the hitch is. If you look at the hitches available for your 2011 Toyota, you will see that they are all similarly designed and would install under the vehicle in the same manner. Neither of them would be more or less visible. I have provided a photo of the Curt Class III hitch, part # 13356 which would be pretty representative of how the available hitches would appear...

• Which Curt Cargo Carrier Fit 2021 Toyota Venza With Activity Hitch?
• In order to verify if the 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # C18110 will fit your 2021 Toyota Venza with activity hitch, you will need to take a few measurements. Measure from the receiver's hitch pin hole to the rearmost part of your bumper to determine how much clearance you need out of a hitch accessory. Then you can compare your measurements to the attached photo which illustrates the specs of the shank on this Curt Cargo Carrier. There is a distance of 6-3/4" from...

• Where to Install Support Strap When Using Curt Trailer Hitch on 2011 Toyota Venza with Yakima HoldUp
• To avoid contact with the spoiler on your 2011 Toyota Venza you can connect the Stabilizing Strap # 18050 to the safety chain loop on the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12341 and then loop it around the Yakima HoldUp # Y02445 bike tray that is closest to your trunk. If you want to avoid using the strap altogether you can use the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36512 instead. This has the same basic design as the Curt option but it doesn't require the use of a stabilizing strap to keep...

• Is It Possible To Fit A 1 1/4" Bike Rack On A 2" Hitch?
• The only option we have for the 2021 Toyota Venza is a 2" hitch. If you want to keep your bike rack, I recommend you look into the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C89UR. This is a USA-made hitch that is high quality and easy to install, no welding required. In order to use your 1 1/4" bike rack with this 2" hitch, using a hitch adapter such as the Curt Receiver Adapter # C45770 would be a great option. The only downside to this would be that the hitch capacity is reduced by 50%. For...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2010 Toyota Venza with Dual Exhaust
• All of the trailer hitches we carry to fit the 2010 Toyota Venza fit the dual exhaust model. Out of the choices I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # 75663. Since it's a Class III hitch it has a 2 inch opening which is more common and versatile than a 1-1/4 inch. Your options for towing or hitch accessories will be a lot more open. I've linked an install video of the hitch going on a 2010 Venza but it only has single exhaust. I've also linked the install details for you. I've...

• Will Yakima MightyMounts Fit a 2013 Toyota Venza with Factory Roof Rack
• There is a whole host of Yakima accessories that will fit the factory crossbars on your 2013 Toyota Venza without the use of MightyMounts. Depending on which accessories you have they may be a direct fit. Yakima only lists the universal MightyMounts, # Y03590, as a fit for the optional crossbars on your vehicle. They do not list the 23H MightyMounts as a fit. The universal MightyMounts are compatible with the Yakima BasketCase, most Yakima bike mounts, ski mounts and watersport accessories.

• Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Toyota Venza
• Yes, we do. To add a hitch to your 2023 Toyota Venza, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e25AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 525 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like the etrailer hitch item # e25AR because the crosstube mounts behind your rear bumper leaving only the 2" receiver exposed. This not only looks better but helps with ground clearance. If...

• Can You Carry 3 Bikes With the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack On a 2013 Toyota Venza?
• I reached out to Saris who was able to clarify everything. You will be able to carry 3 bikes with the Saris Bones EX 3 # SA803. The Hatch Huggers # SA3035 required for use with the Bones on your 2013 Toyota Venza are used on the side straps. The hatch huggers only limit the vehicle to 2 bikes when used on the upper straps.

• Difference Between Class I, II, and III Trailer Hitch Receivers
• The main difference between trailer hitch classes is the towing capacity (GTW) and tongue weight capacity (TW). Typically class I and II hitches come with a 1-1/4" receiver instead of a 2" receiver but there are a few on the market that do have a 2" receiver. Most trailer hitch accessories, like bike racks or cargo carriers for example, are made to fit 2" receivers. There are some that fit 1-1/4" receiver but with a 2" receiver you can always use a reducer to have a 1-1/4" accessory fit....
