Expert Answers about Toyota Bike Accessories


  • Are There 2 inch Hitch Receivers Available for the 2020 Toyota Camry
  • While there is not a 2" trailer hitch available for the 2020 Toyota Camry, we may have a workaround for you. The Curt Hitch for you vehicle, part # C11527 is a Class I hitch that can carry accessories with 1-1/4" receivers (200 pounds of tongue weight and 2,000 pounds of towing). I've linked to a video installation for your reference. There are a wide variety of 1-1/4" hitch-mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo baskets. However, if you already have one that is 2", you can use...

  • Will a Class 1 Hitch Fit all 1-1/4 inch Bike Carriers
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 24827, that you referenced is a Class I hitch that can only accept Class I accessories. You will need to check to make sure that the Draw-Tite bike carrier you have is also a Class I, otherwise it will not work. I attached installation instructions for this product for you to check out. Class II hitch accessories will not work on a Class I hitch, however Class I hitch accessories will work in a Class II hitch. In order to determine...

  • Trailer Hitch and 3 Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2009 Toyota Highlander
  • In order to carry 3 bikes on your 2009 Toyota Highlander, you will need to use a trailer hitch. None of the trunk mount bike racks will fit your vehicle. A trailer hitch has many other uses above and beyond a bike rack. You can also tow trailers, travel trailers, can pop up campers, and you can also use other accessories such as a trailer hitch mount cargo carrier. For a trailer hitch I recommend # 75586. This is a Class III trailer hitch that will allow you many options for bike racks...

  • Cargo Carrier that Converts to a Bike Carrier for a Windsport 29M RV
  • I don't recommend using the 24 x 60 etrailer Cargo Carrier, part # e98874 behind an RV, because its a folding carrier. The distance from the rear axle of the RV to the hitch is much greater than on a passenger vehicle, and this causes there to be greater force applied to the carrier, and unless specifically designed for it, can break through the hitch pin over time and suddenly fold down, or break the folding mechanism. Instead, I recommend the Stromberg Carlson 23 x 60 carrier, part #...

  • Recommended Truck Bed Bike Rack for 2017 GMC Canyon
  • The Swagman Impakt Bike Rack # S62FR referenced in your question is confirmed to work well on your 2017 GMC Canyon. The fork block can install onto accessory rails like what you see in the demonstration video you mentioned, but it is also designed to bolt onto any flat surface with the included hardware. The accessory rails are simply factory components on the truck in the video, but they are not necessary for proper installation of this product. This will work just fine with the bed liner...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2011 Infiniti M37x
  • The only trailer hitch for the 2011 Infiniti M37x is # C11111 and it is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. You could use an adapter, # HTAD, to use the hitch with 2 inch accessories. However the use of an adapter reduces the tongue weight of the hitch by 50 percent from 200 to 100 pounds. Since you want to use the hitch for accessories such as a bike rack and cargo carrier, and if looking at new ones, you have to make sure the accessories are rated for use with a Class I trailer...

  • How To Transport 2 Electric Fat Bikes That Weigh 65lbs Each
  • You are correct; most of the 2-bike carriers have a max weight capacity of 60lbs per bike. I usually recommend removing the battery or any other mounted accessories that can be removed to save weight. You could use the Saris Freedom 2 Bike Platform Rack for Fat Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # SA4412B-FB which has a 60lb per bike capacity and fits up go 5" wide tires. This secures the bikes by the frame and also the wheels; it is compatible with bikes that have fenders. I...

  • What Roof Accessories are Compatible with 2018 Dodge Durango
  • The great thing about the Rhino Rack roof rack part # RR37GR that you referenced is that the bars are basically compatible with all roof rack accessories made by the popular brands like Thule, Yakima, and Rhino Rack etc. For a fork mounted Rhino Rack bike rack we have the MountainTrail part # RBC035 which would work great, and for a kayak carrier we have the # S510 which is a J-style kayak carrier.

  • Best Anti-Rattle Device To Keep A Bike Rack Secure In A Gen-Y Hitch
  • Due to the somewhat odd shape of the Gen-Y Rebel Ball Mount # GY62FR, the Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 will not be able to keep a bike rack from moving around once installed. However, I do need to mention that Gen-Y does not recommend using non-Gen-Y accessories in the Rebel. With that being said, the Shank for Gen-Y Adjustable Ball Mount # 325-GH-305 can be used with bike racks, cargo carriers, and other accessories that are not Gen-Y products. The design of this shank will also not...

  • Can I Purchase Extra Keys For My Yakima Bike Rack?
  • I do have a solution for you, however, bike racks and other accessories such as hitch locks cannot be purchased keyed-alike. It looks like you are referring to the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y96FR. You can purchase this bike rack and then look at the lock cylinder and determine what the key code is. For example, if it says "A133" then you can go onto our website and type in "A133" and it will show you a replacement key # Y8772-A133 and lock core # Y8771-A133 that matches...

  • Recommended Hitch for Bike Rack on 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek
  • There is a Class I and a Class III available for your Subaru XV Crosstrek.

The Class III hitch is only a few dollars more than the Class I, and there are many more bike racks and other hitch mounted accessories compatible with the 2 inch receiver. As far as stability goes, the size of the receiver will have no difference on the stability of the...
