Hey Claudia, I checked with Curt just now and confirmed that their hitch part #C64DR does fit all models of the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross which includes the hybrid models so it would work great for you. We also had customers with similar hybrid…
Hey Michael, congrats on the new SUV. The EcoHitch item #EH87CR does not require you to remove the rear bumper assembly when installing. It does require some slight fascia trimming though. You'll have to remove a 2-3/4” deep and 4-1/2” wide…
Hi Davis, Yes, you potentially could do that, but there are a couple important things to keep in mind. The Watchdog Power Center part #HU74ZR is designed as a portable unit that normally sits upright at the pedestal, and Hughes recommends keeping it…
Brian, you’ll each want the version that matches your RV’s service. The #HU84ZR is built for 30A rigs like your friend’s Cougar, while the #HU74ZR is made for 50A rigs like your Cedar Creek. They both do the same job - voltage boosting, surge…
Hey Dennis! The Acadia and Traverse do share a lot, but the coil springs are different which means the #AL99PD will not fit your 2025 Traverse High Country. You may be able to use the universal springs like #AL60909 but you will need to measure to…
For your Kuat Beta bike rack #B202-2 the easiest solution to lock the bikes to the rack and to the hitch is to use a cable lock such as #e98891. Run the cable through the bikes and the safety chain loops on the trailer hitch to deter theft. I have…
Good thinking, Andy - good name btw. The Watchdog Surge Protector / Voltage Booster 50A #HU74ZR is a hefty unit, but it does sit outside at the pedestal, so security matters. It has a metal loop built in for a padlock or cable lock, which you can run…
If the bike rack initially comes with a threaded hitch pin like the Malone #MPG2149 or the Curt #C18085 then a locking hitch pin like part #C23519 that you referenced won't actually fit. I do have some alternatives though that you can check out.…
The wheels are hub-centric. The wheel bolts instead of lug nuts is the only clue needed. A hub-centric wheel centers on the hub using the pilot hole and hub so it would be a snug fit. You could still use a lug-centric wheel as long as the pilot hole…
I would recommend replacing the tires along with the wheels on your utility trailer. The tires that you currently have on your trailer are passenger car tires which can be identified by the P at the beginning of the tire size and it is not a common…
Hi Mary, There can be differences in the way components under the vehicle are ran that can change how a trailer hitch will need to be shaped to fit depending on the model type. I spoke with EcoHitch and they stated that they haven't tested the…
Hello Jason, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R15 tire with 15" black aluminum wheel #KE58JV does come balanced from the factory. Trailer tire and wheel assemblies are balanced by matching the tire’s high and low…
In these days of customer "no service" I am usually disapointed when doing business with people I don't know. It was refreshing doing business with you. I'm impressed!

Lockstraps Cable Locks for Everyday Security
Head out confident with cable locks from Lockstraps that help secure bikes, tools, and travel gear. Sticking with one brand makes it straightforward to choose what fits your setup, whether you pack light or load up. Think about the length, diameter, and lock mechanism you prefer so your gear stays put the way you like to use it.
Measure the path through your gear and the anchor point, then add a little extra for easy routing and locking. Avoid leaving large loops that can be leveraged. Confirm the cable diameter fits every pass-through point you'll use. If you plan to secure multiple items in one run, include that extra distance.
Plan for weather and abrasion. Wipe grit off the cable and locking surfaces, and apply a light, non-gumming lubricant to moving parts as needed. Keep tension on the cable to reduce rubbing, and avoid routing over sharp corners. Inspect for wear and adjust the path if you see fraying.
Thicker cables can help deter cutting but are stiffer and heavier. Thinner cables route through tight spaces more easily. Check the smallest opening you must pass and match the diameter so it fits without forcing. Balance cut resistance with the flexibility you need for daily use.
They can if the cable and lock fit the anchor's opening and geometry. Measure the anchor diameter or slot size first. Choose a route that keeps the lock body accessible for fastening and unlocking. Avoid sharp edges that could abrade the cable; add a sleeve or reposition if needed.
