Expert Answers about Mitsubishi Outlander Sport


  • Low Cost Roof Rack Option for Mitsubishi Outlander Sport with Naked Roof
  • I do have a roof rack option for your Mitsubishi Outlander Sport with a completely bare or naked roof (no factory side rails or crossbars), however, according to SportRack, their Semi-Custom Roof Rack # SR1010 is not confirmed to fit your vehicle. The least expensive roof rack option for your Outlander Sport is the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK289 which securely attaches to the factory fixed mounting points on your Outlander Sport, as shown in the attached photo. It's...

  • Why Would Curt Hitch for 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander Not Line up to Frame Perfectly
  • Sometimes hitches can get slightly bent during shipping and this can be fixed by bending the hitch back into place as long as the hitch only has a slight bend to it. If yours isn't lining up I can almost guarantee that is what happened. Some people will use open steps for leverage, vices and even car jacks to apply controlled force to bend the hitch back. You will want to look for flaking paint and physical stress marks on the hitch before and after you attempt to bend the hitch back....

  • Recommended 2 Bike Rack Compatible With Bikes That Have Rear Rack
  • I have another option for you, but the rear rack will more than likely interfere with the arm of the Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # INH120 that secures the rear tire. Instead I recommend frame mount rack like the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount - Tilting - Frame Mount # S64683 which will hold your bikes by the frame, and will accommodate two bikes weighing up to 45lbs each with tires up to 3" wide.

  • Recommended Hitch for Yakima EXO SwingAway Bike Rack/Cargo System on 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander
  • For the 2017 model year, Mitsubishi offered two different Outlander models. There's the 7-passenger Oulander and the 5-passenger Outlander Sport, both of which use different hitches, but the Curt # C13163 is confirmed to bit both as long as it is not the PHEV model. To use a combo bike/cargo rack like the Yakima # Y54ZR on the Outlander, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13163 the hitch has a 600 lb tongue weight capacity, which would be limited to the 350 lb tongue weight...

  • Possible Snow Chain Solution for 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  • I checked with Thule and the K45 K-Summit chains part # TH02230K45 are a fit for your tire size of 225-55-18 that you have on your 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander. Now if there ever was a chain that was going to work on your vehicle this would be it as it requires no inner sidewall clearance and only a very slight amount above the tread. Most likely this would fit your vehicle and work well but you will have to clear that with Mitsubishi first. You might try contacting a dealer in an area that...

  • How to Prevent Crossbar Whistling with Rhino Rack Aero Crossbars
  • The bottom of the Rhino Rack Vortex crossbars do have openings in them which can cause whistling. The openings are typically due to the measurement sections that get removed for securing the bar to the feet. Best solution is a fairing which will direct air over the bars and prevent the whistling. For that we have the part # RRRF2 which would fit well for the part # RRVA126B-2 that you have.

  • Recommended Path to Connect 4-Way Wiring Harness on 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander to 7-Way ETBC7
  • I can help you route your 4-way to the # ETBC7. First thing I would search the cargo area where your wiring harness connector is for a factory grommet to get the 4-pole through. If there is no grommet the best thing to do is to drill a small access hole to run the wires through. I recommend using the snap bushing grommet # SWC8055 and instead of splicing into your vehicles harness (voids the warranty), I recommend making the splice and reconnection in the 4-way to 4-way loop # HM48145....
