I'll just rip this band-aid off as fast as I can but there is just not a way to use a standard hitch-mounted bike rack and tow at the same time with your 2006 Toyota Matrix XR. The issue, like you said, is the 1-1/4 inch hitch not having an…
All available hitches made for your 2007 Toyota Matrix XR include both Class I and Class II types in the 1-1/4-inch size. All are shown on the linked page. You'll notice all three options, parts # 24812, #C12221 and #C12013, share a very similar…
We have exactly what you need to use a lightweight fifth wheel hitch and Sidewinder in your 2018 GMC Sierra 2500HD with a short bed, and though we do not carry the aluminum Andersen hitch we do know you cannot use rotating pin boxes with this hitch.…
All of the hitches available to fit your vehicle are Class I hitches. The most common hitch, 24812, was one which fits with or without the rear fascia. The bolts for that hitch are M12 x 1.25 x 40mm. We offer replacement hardware kits part number…
Well so the problem is that the Demco Recon hitches are not rated for use with rotating pin boxes like the Reese Sidewinders. The twisting torque that the Sidewinders create is too much for the narrower "neck" of the Recon hitches so…
The wedge is attached to the arm of the Sidewinder via two 5/8" bolts. If you take a look at the instructions below in addition to the photo, you can see how the wedge is installed. Please keep in mind that certain 5th wheel hitches will require…
Great question! The Reese Sidewinder like part #RP61422 has fairly easy maintenance in that Reese calls for lubricating parts of the pin box before each trip and then disassembling it at least once per season to clean and inspect everything.…
A Sidewinder wedge kit for 5th wheel hitch is a wedge that installs on the underside of the Sidewinder pin box and helps to lock out the king pin in the funnel of the 5th wheel hitch head. This helps the Sidewinder to only pivot at the turret instead…
The correct fit kit for installing the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs #RRRLKVA (for crossbars like #RRVA126B-2) to your 2004 Toyota Matrix is part DK062. This has been discontinued though so if you aren't able to find it somewhere like on a…
The Curt trailer hitch #C12013 will have the receiver just below the rear fascia on your 2006 Toyota Matrix. Take a look at the review with pictures on the product page to get an idea of where it will be. Curt does say that you need to use a…
A fifth wheel hitch should remain in front of the rear axle, like how your Curt A20 #C16541 sits when not in the rearward position. It is not recommended to tow a fifth wheel trailer while the hitch is slid in the rearward position, as this will…
When placing your Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider #C16521 into the maneuvering position you'll only want to complete the turn and then slide it back into place to safely tow. Moving the hitch back puts the weight of the trailer…
