Video Transcript for Trailer Hitch Installation - 2009 Scion xB

Today on this 2009 Scion xB we will be installing trailer hitch part number 12490 from Curt. Okay we are underneath the vehicle looking and we are taking a look at the passenger-side frame rail. I am going to go ahead and point out the mounting locations for the trailer hitch. As you can see here at the end of the frame rail we have got three existing weld nuts, and we are going to be using those as our attaching points. We will be taking the 12 millimeter bolts and conical tooth washers that are provided with our installation kit and threading them directly in there.

Over here on the drivers side we will be doing the same thing, but as you can see on some models you will have the optional tow hook here. We are going to need to go ahead and need to remove the two bolts that are holding it in. And again those will be replaced with the new hardware provided with the installation kit. On this model it looks like I am having a little bit of interference from the straps for the fascia here. So I am going to go ahead and pop the push pins out on both sides here.

You may find that you will have some trouble on some models of getting this forward most bolt in over here on the passenger side due to the exhaust being in the way. And you may again once you get it up have trouble tightening it down. Just in case you can go ahead and lower the exhaust off the rear most hanger here and that will give you a little more clearance. To do that you just want to simply take a spray lubricant like WD-40 and spray the lower stud here. That will make the removal of the rubber hanger much easier and you can just take a pry bar like I am using and just pry that right off there. And now that we have all the bolts in place you want to go ahead and torque those down. You want to check with the directions to verify the appropriate torque rating for each 12 millimeter bolt. You want to make sure if you took your exhaust down you put it back up on its hanger. And also you want to reinstall your push pins back into the fascia straps here. And that will conclude the installation of Curt hitch part number 12490 on a 2009 Scion xB.

WHILE MOST MIGHT RAVE ABOUT THE QUALITY, FIT AND FINISH OF THE CURT HITCH FOR MY 2012 SCION XB AND I CERTAINLY AM ONE I MUST SAY THAT MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS COMPANY (E-TRAILER) HAS RENEWED MY FAITH IN HONEST HARD WORKING COMPANIES AND THEIR EMPLOYEES. EVERYONE FROM ORDER PROCESSING TO SHIPPING TO CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN GREAT. MY HITCH WAS UPGRADED TO 3 DAY DELIVERY, IT WAS PACKED IN A SUPER STRONG BOX AND EVERYTHING WAS AS REPRESENTED. THE FOLLOW UP E-MAILS AND COMMUNICATION SEEMED HEARTFELT AND GENUINE. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT AND ESPECIALLY THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE. THANK-YOU28675

Very nice unit. The install video here was very helpful. Instructions put install time for inexperienced installer at 45 mins. and pro installer at 20 mins. My install time (with 8 year old helper) was 18 minutes. Never even looked under my car before this. 30618

Nice heavy duty sturdy hitch. Easy to install. Going to use this for a hitch type bicycle carrier. Bought this one over another brand that had a 200 lb. tongue capacity compared to 300 lb. for this one as I figured more is better. 9846

  • Which Hitch Ball Do I Need for a 2009 Scion xB
  • You will need part number 19256 for your trailer hitch drawbar. The Class II hitch uses a 3/4 inch diameter shank and the weight rating on this ball matches your hitch.

  • Will a Trailer Hitch for a 2005 Scion xB fit a 2008 Scion xB
  • The hitches that are built to fit a 2005 Scion xB will not fit a 2008 Scion xB. The 2007 xB brought a new body that included some frame changes which is why the hitches for the 2004-2006 models will not fit the newer models. For your 2008 Scion xB you can use one of three hitches: Curt part # 12490, Draw-Tite part # 24815, or Hidden Hitch part # 60899. I have added links to these hitches below as well as to a video of the Curt hitch being installed on a 2008 xB and the instructions for the Dr

  • Trailer Hitch, Hitch Ball, and Wiring Recommendations for a 2010 Scion xB
  • Yes. The Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar, # 12490, will fit your 2010 Scion xB. This hitch comes with a drawbar, hitch pin and clip. There is no drilling required with this simple bolt on installation. I have included links to the instructions and an installation video below. This Class II hitch has a gross trailer weight of 3,500 pounds and a tongue weight capacity of 350 pounds. You will need to consult your vehicles owners manual for the xBs specific towing ratings.

  • T-1 Connector Part # 118468 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. We offer a Upgraded Modulite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4 Pole Trailer Connector, part # 119176 that is a bit less costly than the T-1, but the necessary ins

All of the hitches available for the Scion will be Class I 1-1/4 inch hitches. Each vehicle model will have three different hitches available.
