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…
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.…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Using the JetStream Crossbars #Y00425 along with the TimberLine Towers #Y33TR will be taller than using the Yakima RailBar Crossbars #Y00432-0433 for your 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack but you do need to note that every roof rack manufacturer states…
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…
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…
WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!

Yakima Cable Locks for Bike Racks
Yakima cable locks add easy bike security on your hitch rack during the drive. They deter grab-and-go theft, with options that are simple to attach. Some require a Yakima lock core to function while others include one, so choose the length and setup that fit your rack.
Yes, you can loop a Yakima cable through the rack and the accessory to help deter theft. Run the cable through solid points on both pieces so they're tied together. If your rack uses a model-specific add-on lock, confirm it fits; some add-ons won't install on every rack.
Some Yakima cables need a separate lock core to be functional, while others include one. Check if the box lists a core and keys or if it's cable-only. If keys are lost, a locksmith can open the lock. Then use a control key to remove the core, note the key number on the cylinder, and get a matching replacement key.
Match the cable length to your bikes, rack, and where you'll anchor it. Measure the path you'll loop, including around frames and the rack, to avoid coming up short. If a cable didn't fit a rack or was the wrong length, recheck routing and the anchor point you plan to use before choosing.
They deter quick grab-and-go theft but won't stop a determined thief with tools. Use them to keep bikes locked while you're on the road. Route the cable through frames and the rack to reduce chances of tampering. For better deterrence, snug the cable so there's little slack to cut or pry.
