Expert Reply:

For your 2006 Scion XB, I recommend starting with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11487. This is a custom fit and will use ball mount # C45521, along with pin and clip # F-4 and ball # A-82. The wiring harness for your vehicle is the Curt # C56030, which will connect to the factory wiring behind the trim panels in the cargo area on each side. Then you simply need your small trailer with a 2 inch coupler to match the hitch ball and you'll be good to go.

You may want to consider a wheel chock like # TWSPWM and some straps like # EM05729 for your bike.
