- Recommended 2-Bike Class I Hitch Racks for 2014 Scion xB
- One of my favorite 2-bike hitch racks for a Class I hitch like your Curt # C12490 is the Curt # C18085. I like this wheel-mount style rack for several reasons: it is moderately priced, it is lightweight - only 20-lbs, it has an 80-lbs total bike weight rating and it provides a generous 12-inches of clearance from it's hitch pin hole to the nearest part of the carrier. As a wheel-mount rack, it avoids stress on the bikes' frames since they make no contact with the rack. As a bonus, this...

- We have exactly what you're needing. I'd recommend the etrailer.com Folding Universal Mount J-style Kayak Carrier, part # e98878. This carrier includes everything you'll need, the tie down straps, the bow/stern tie downs and the anchor straps that can be shut in the rear hatch and the front of the hood to eliminate the need for hooks. These carriers are sold individually, so for both kayaks you'd need two of them.
Or, a lower cost alternative would be a single carrier that would hold the...

- We do offer base plates designed to fit your 2014 Scion xB if it has no foglights. I do recommend you contact your dealership to see if flat-towing your Scion is allowed or what restrictions there are when towing. I actually pulled up a copy of the owner's manual and there is a second printing as of March 2014. From what I can tell the manual transmission xB can be flat-towed with all 4 wheels down.
If you find you can flat-tow your xB, there are 5 items you need to properly tow a vehicle....

To order this roof rack you will need part # RRVA137B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK152. If you prefer Black crossbars you can order part # RRVA137B-2.
The bike rack I recommend for this roof rack is the SQR Quick-Release...

- Clearance refers to the overall width or diameter of a tire chain. This measurement is important because certain vehicles have restrictions regarding the amount of available space between each wheel well and tire. There may be a limited amount of room between your wheel and various braking or suspension components on your vehicle, thus prohibiting large chains from being used on your particular vehicle.
The Thule Standard Snow Tire Chains CB-12, # TH01221090, which you reference, require...

- There are a few bike racks that would work great with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11420 on your 2016 Scion iM, but the best one for you will come down to how heavy your bikes are, and if you are looking for a cost effective or a more premium rack.

view full answer... - Roof Rack Recommendation for 2006 Scion xB

57" Aero Crossbars - # INXB145-2
Through Feet - # INXS250
Fit Kit - # INK263
The Inno brand has a nice sleek look and comes with locks so that won't be an additional cost like what you see with other brands. I also like the design of the T-Channel in the top since you don't have to trim anything.

- For your 2009 Scion xB the Inno Aero Bar roof rack part numbers # INXB153-2, # INXS250, and # INK300 would be a great solution. The aero bars are quieter than square bar roof racks and the minimize fuel mileage loss.

- A 2 inch ball mount cannot fit directly into the opening of the Curt hitch part # C11134 that you mentioned but a 2 inch hitch ball could if that's what you meant. We have the Euro ball mount part # C45572 which is a fit for this hitch that has a 2 inch ball.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Scion xB
- The difference between MX and XL base plates is the attachment style. The XL can fit all Roadmaster tow bars and the MX can only fit ones that install in a 2 inch hitch opening. The MX style doesn't require the use of a crossbar.
Because more tow bars are compatible with the XL kits we tend to recommend them more although some say the MX kits are a bit easier to use.
For your 2008 Scion xB you would want the part # 1187-1A.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible...

- Curt does indeed require the use of a stabilization strap # 18050 when using trailer hitch # C11487 with a bike rack or cargo carrier on your 2006 Scion xB. I have included a link to a video showing how the strap works. The strap does not come with any bike racks.

- If you are wanting to carry your two 60 lb ebikes on your 2015 Scion XB you need to get the Class II hitch from Curt # C12490. This will give you the most amount of weight capacity. The Thule T2 Pro XT # TH83JV needs to be used with a class III hitch and has a wheel hook which isn't designed to work for bikes with fenders. There is no Class III hitch option for your Scion so we will need to find a more suitable option. We need an option that does not require a hitch adapter because when...

- The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12490 which is a fit for a 2012 Scion xB does indeed have a 350 lb weight capacity. However, when you use any sort of 1-1/4" to 2" hitch adapter like the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # HTAD this reduces the hitch capacity by 1/2, so 175 lbs which then puts you over the limit with your hot dog cart.
The only option you have to carry your hot dog cart without being overweight is to use a cargo carrier with 1-1/4" shank, the...
