Question:
Hello I have a 2007 Honda Element SC. What type of hitch do I need to get that fits this model? I know the suspension already sits kind of low. Electrical hook up options would be great as well as links to installation videos. Another question is what type of crossbars can I get for my Element? I’ve already tried taking the racks off of a 2007 EX Element that was unsuccessful.

I can get you set up with all of that for your 2007 Honda Element SC.
For a trailer hitch the best option is the Class III Draw-Tite # 75659, which is a 2" hitch that will allow you the most options in terms of accessories. The wiring option I recommend is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118465; I have linked videos of both the hitch and wiring being installed on an Element for you to check out.
As for a roof rack, the best choice is from Yakima and consists of aerodynamic CoreBar Crossbars # Y00422, SkyLine Towers # Y53TR and Landing Pads # Y00229. This will give your Element a sleek roof rack that attaches to fixed mounting points on your roof; you can protect your investment and lock it to your roof with SKS Lock Cores # Y07204. I have added a link to an install video of this rack for you to check out as well.
