Question:
WILL TH910XT FIT ON 2008 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER IF NOT WHAT WILL.
asked by: MJOHNSON
Expert Reply:
I do have a recommendation to carry bikes on your 2008 Toyota Highlander, however, trunk mounted bike racks are not recommended for your vehicle because the rear hatch cannot support the weight of the bike rack and the bikes at the point where the carrier must be placed.
Instead, I recommend adding a trailer hitch and using a hitch mounted bike rack. For a trailer hitch, I would recommend using the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # 13534. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver that allows you to carry a wide range of hitch mounted accessories and even tow a trailer if the situation arose. I have attached the installation instructions for you to check out.
For a bike rack, I recommend either the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Bike Rack, # TH92BJ. I have also attached a link to all of the hitch mounted bike racks that we carry.
If you have a roof rack on your vehicle, then you could also look into a roof mounted bike rack like the Thule UpRide Bike Rack, # TH599000. This rack mounts on most factory crossbars and is one of our easiest roof mounted bike racks to use. If you do not have a roof rack on your vehicle, then you can check out all of the roof rack options that we carry for your vehicle with the link that I have attached.
