  • Roof Rack and 2-Kayak Carrier for 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer Sedan
  • Yes, the Thule Compass 2 Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH890000 will absolutely work for your 2012 Mitsubishi Lancer 4-door sedan, you simply need to add a roof rack to mount the carrier on. By far the best option for a roof rack for your Lancer is from Rhino-Rack because it is the best value for your Lancer - the rack is premium quality but with a better price tag than similar options. It also has aerodynamic bars for a quieter ride and each part of the rack is so durable it comes with...

  • Is Yakima HangOut3 Bike Rack Safe to Use on Vehicle
  • We haven't had any reports of the Yakima HangOut3 part # Y02638 causing vehicle damage. Like with all trunk racks the important thing to do is to keep the vehicle pain clean when using the rack and to always stay under the weight capacity of the rack which is 90 lb or 35 lbs for a single bike.

  • Long Term Battery Charger and Maintenance for a 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
  • You can keep certain battery chargers connected to a vehicle battery all the time such as CTEK charger # CTEK56353 which would be ideal for your 2015 Mitsubishi Lance Evolution. This charger is not a trickle charger (trickle chargers can overcharge a battery). This CTEK charger will maintain and recondition the battery and only charge it up again if it needs it. All while staying connected to the vehicle battery. For what you want to do this is the perfect charger. I have linked a video...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS with Rear Spoiler
  • I did some research on the spoilers on the 2008 Mitsubishi GTS and based on what I saw it looks like the only trunk mount that is going to work is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-top rack, # HRF2. This rack is built with an extra extension that will put the top straps of the rack over the spoiler so as not to interfere with it. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter...

  • Best Trailer Wiring Harness for 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer
  • All the trailer wiring harnesses we offer for the 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer would install in the same manner. The harnesses would all connect inline at the connection of the vehicle's taillight harness and the taillight assemblies. You'd then need to run a wire under the vehicle to the positive battery terminal to power the trailer lights. I'd recommend the Tekonsha # 118538, as I've found over the years that their taillight converter/trailer wiring harnesses work the best with the fewest...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer
  • Since none of the hitches that fit a 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer are a 2 inch hitch what you would want is a new hitch bike rack that would fit a hitch like the # C11476 which is a confirmed fit. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058 We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for...

  • How do I Tow My 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer with Standard Transmission?
  • I have a solution for you. I went ahead and looked up your owner's manual for your 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer, and I discovered that the manufacturer says you cannot flat-tow your vehicle with all four wheels on the ground. Also, with your standard transmission, you can use a tow dolly to transport your vehicle if you have a front-wheel drive model. For the tow dolly route, I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes - Foldable - 4,800 lbs # DM9713045. The Kar Kaddy SS provides...

  • Can a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Be Flat-Towed
  • I checked out the owner's manual for a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer and according to this, the vehicle can only be transported on a tow dolly. The only models we offer a tow dolly for are front wheel drive as these can be towed from the front with the front wheels off the ground. The other models will either need to have the rear wheels or all wheels off the ground. I recommend checking out page 6-23 if you need further clarification. For a tow dolly, I recommend the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with...

  • Best way to Carry Bikes on my 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR
  • I have a solution but with the spoiler on the Lancer you will not be able to safely carry bikes using a trunk mount rack. Instead the SeaSucker Mini Bomber Roof 2 Bike Rack part # Item # 298-BM2006 will allow you to carry 2 bikes or the SeaSucker Bomber Roof 3 Bike Rack part # 298-BB3008 to carry three bikes. These are pricey but eliminate the need to also purchase a roof rack system. This rack is very cool and will look great on your GSR. The cups hold it on the vehicle so tight there...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer
  • The trailer hitch for your 2014 Mitsubishi Lancer that I recommend using is the Curt Hitch Receiver # C11328. It has a max Gross Trailer Weight of 2,000 lbs and a max Tongue Weight of 200 lbs. There is a note on the warranty saying that all non-trailer loads should be supported with stabilizing straps, like part # 18050, otherwise the warranty is voided. This trailer hitch is not compatible with Evolution, Ralliart, and Dual Exhaust models. Keep in mind that you will need to check your...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Carrier for a 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer Sedan with Rear Spoiler
  • Since your 2007 Mitsubishi Lancer sedan has the tall spoiler, the Hollywood Racks Express trunk mount bike carrier, # HRE3, will not work. I checked with Malone and you can use the Malone Hanger Trunk Bike Rack for 3 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # MPG2139. I have included links to videos on all of these racks for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005....

  • Recommended Roof Rack And Carrier For Two Kayaks On 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer 5-Door Sportback
  • For your 2011 Lancer 5-door I recommend the Thule Roof Rack. You asked about the wind noise difference between square and aero crossbars and without a doubt the WingBar crossbars with the Thule roof rack are considerably quieter than any square bars on the market. On the Thule roof rack the WingBar crossbars have integrated T-slots that can be used for accessories and it also has rubber stripping in the T-slots with a textured surface that greatly reduces wind drag and noise. for this...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Trailer Wiring For 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Hatchback
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for your Lancer is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11479. This is a Class l hitch and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The shipping weight of this hitch is 20 lbs. This trailer hitch measures 40-3/4 inches long, 19-1/2 inches wide, and 6-1/2 inches tall. Per Curt a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 is required for all non trailer loads or it will void the warranty. The ball mount I recommend is the Sportframe, part # 3592. This ball mount features...
