Hitch and Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2005 Scion xB
For your 2005 Scion xB the hitch I recommend is the Curt # C11487 which has a concealed crosstube for a more concealed look! For trailer wiring the best option is the Curt Wire Harness # C56030 which is very easy to install with plug-in connectors that match your tail light connectors. For a hitch ball you'd need just the part # A-80 and you'd be set.

InSupplemental Braking System for 06 Scion XB
There are several differnt ways you can go with this, I will list a few and their features. The first is my preferred route providing it is in the acceptable price point. The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System - Proportional, # SM99251. With this you get automatic, proportional braking with a system that never has to be removed, replaced, or reset. The DUO activates when your RV's brake lights go on and an inertia sensor in the towed car detects deceleration. It is...

Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for 2006 Scion xB
The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56030 that you mentioned is the correct custom harness for your 2006 Scion xB. From what I could find, your vehicle's factory wiring system should have the brake and turn signals sent along separate circuits. This Curt harness includes a converter to combine these two circuits so that they're compatible with standard trailer wiring (which has the brake and turn signals sent along the same wire for each side). I'm not quite sure what you mean...

Roof Rack, Cargo Basket, and Roof Bag Recommendation for a 2012 Scion xB
For an affordable roof rack confirmed to fit your 2012 Scion xB that is arguably just as good as the really expensive kits you would want the Rhino Rack Roof Rack that consists of part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK152. With these two part numbers you would have everything needed for a roof rack. Crossbars and mounting kit is included. For a cargo basket you could go with the Curt Basket part # C18115, and then for a bag part # RL100A20. I attached a review video for both products for...

Curt T-1 Connector Part # 56062 as Least Costly Option for Trailer Connector on 2009 Scion xB
Your 2009 xB requires a powered system, which means that the tail light converter gains its signals from the vehicle tail light circuits, but receives power for the trailer lamps directly from the vehicle battery. The tail light circuits on that vehicle are not rated to handle the additional load of the trailer lights. The T-1 connector part # 56062 is your most economical option.

Wiring a 2009 Scion xB to Tow an Aspen Trailer with 6-Way Connector and Separate Turn/Brake Lights
First, you will need to add a 4-Way trailer wiring harness on the 2009 Scion xB. You can use # 118468, that you have referenced. The rest of the installation will require a little hardwiring since trailers towed by passenger vehicles normally have combined stop and turn signals. What you will need to do is cut off the 4-Way plug after installing the wiring harness on the vehicle. This will leave you with a white wire, a brown wire, a green wire, and a yellow wire. You will need to use...

How Do I Know Which Roof Rack Accessories Will Work With My Roof Rack On 2012 Scion XB?
When determining if certain accessories can be mounted to a roof rack system you want to look at a few things. First, if it is a clamp-on accessory then you to make sure it can fit the style of roof rack that you have (square, round, aero etc.). You then want to check the max crossbar dimensions that the accessory can fit and make sure the roof rack is not bigger than that max dimension; these dimensions are typically listed on the product page of roof racks and any roof rack-mounted accessories....

Recommended Fairing for Rhino-Rack Vortex RS Roof Rack on 2011 Scion xB
For the Rhino-Rack Vortex RS 2500 Roof Rack RRRS232B on your 2011 the 44 inch Fairing # RRRF3 will work perfectly. This will just about span the entire length of the flush-mount crossbars on your Scion xB and their mounting clips will fit nicely between the crossbar mounting feet on the roof. This will do a really nice job of further reducing any wind noise and drag during travel. I have attached a short video demonstration that you can check out as well.

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.

How to Carry 4 Bikes on a 2006 Scion xB that has a Class I Curt Trailer Hitch Installed
The trailer hitches for the 2006 Scion xB, including Curt hitch # C11487, can only handle a maximum of 2 bikes. Both bike rack manufacturers and hitch manufacturers agree on that point. The issue is not that it is too much weight but how far that weight is from the receiver. A third and subsequent bikes will be far enough from the receiver to increase the stress and leverage on it which can damage the hitch, vehicle, and bike rack. Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050...

Tent Rooftop Rack For 2015 Scion xB
Rhino Rack does not make a Pioneer Platform for the 2015 Scion xB. Yakima makes a similar 55" long x 49" wide platform, but the weight limit is 165 pounds, well under your needs. It also requires a fit kit that is not compatible with the Scion roof. Further, you will need to check your owners manual for your vehicles roof weight limit. I suspect it is below well below 165 as well. The only similar thing we offer is the Inno Roof Rack that supports 120 pounds – the most of all the Scion...

Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2004 Scion XB and a 2008 Chevy Suburban
I found a trunk mounted bike rack that will work on your 2004 Scion XB, you would want a Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack # Y02633. If you plan on carrying women's or alternative framed bikes you might also be interested in a Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar, part # Y02531. I attached installation instructions and a review video for you to check out. I checked with our bike rack recommendations and there is not a trunk mounted bike rack option for the 2008 Chevy Suburban. You could use a...

Stabilization Strap for a Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2006 Scion xB for Bike Racks and Cargo Carriers
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. Unfortunately there are no other hitch options compatible with your vehicle that will allow you to carry hitch mounted accessories. Since you will be using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure...

Recommended Flat Towing Base Plates for 2004 Ford F250 and 2005 Scion xB
The Blue Ox Alexus tow bar has been discontinued for several years, but it would still be compatible with their currently available tow bar base plate kits. The tow bar has a 10,000 lb capacity, so it would work fine with either vehicle. To flat tow either vehicle, you will need a tow bar, base plates, safety cables, a lighting solution so the lights on the two vehicle operate along with those of the tow vehicle and a supplementary braking system. Also, please keep in mind that some vehicles...

Trailer Hitch and Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2005 Scion xB
First let's start with a hitch. The Curt Hitch part # C11487 would be a great option that has been confirmed as a fit. For a roof rack the Rhino Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK138 would be a great option as well. What nice about this rack is that it doesn't cost as much as the other "nicer" roof racks but it is still a high quality roof rack. This rack has a 110 lb capacity, but you would still need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine...

Roof Rack Recommendation for 2009 Scion xB
For your 2009 Scion xB the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK152 is a confirmed fit that would work well. Quality wise this rivals Thule easily but the price is much lower. For what you listed this is the perfect rack. Then the rooftop Rhino Rack cargo bag part # RRLB500 would be a fantastic option too. This can carry up to 17.5 cubic feet of storate space. For a more compact option we have the # RRLB250 which can hold up to 8.5 feet of cubic space.

Motorcycle Carrier Recommendation for the Back of a Class A Motorhome
RVs and motorhomes have a very long distance between the rear axle of the vehicle and the back of the vehicle. Because of this bumps in the road are greatly exaggerated back there. So anything mounted on the hitch will experience a much harsher ride. To the point certain hitch accessories just aren't rated for it. There is a solution for you though. The Ultra Fab motorcycle carrier part # UF48-979033 is very similar to the # SC2001 and Ultra Fab has assured us that this carrier can be...
