• Recommended Euro-Style Ball Mount for a 2015 Nissan Altima with Curt Class I Trailer Hitch
  The recommended 2 inch Euro style ball mount for Curt trailer hitch # C11352 on a 2015 Nissan Altima is # C45572. I went out to the warehouse and pulled one to take some measurements. From the center of the pin hole to the part of the shank where it starts to bend up is 3 inches. This will work because the rear bumper on the Altima tapers upward above the hitch receiver. At 6-1/2 inches out from the center of the hitch pin hole, where the shank starts to bend straight up, it is at a height...

• Picture of Curt Trailer Hitch Installed on a Cadillac CTS Coupe
  Curt has a nice picture of trailer hitch # C11196 installed on a Cadillac CTS coupe. I have include it for you here. The hitch receiver and cross tube are visible beneath the rear fascia of the vehicle.

I have linked the instructions for the wiring as well. If you are using the hitch for a bike rack...

• Hitch Ball Compatibility with European Model of Thule Easyfold XT
  The US version of the EasyFold XT # TH903202 utilizes the trailer hitch receiver itself and not the hitch ball. The European style that fits onto the 50mm hitch ball has not been tested on a 2 inch hitch ball so I can't confirm the fit. I reached out to Thule and their North American tech group can't confirm the fit or not as they are not cross trained and don't have the ability to test fit the conversion. For a 50mm ball I recommend # 63912 for a standard ball mount like # 3593 for...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2005 Toyota Matrix
  Curt trailer hitch # C12221 would be a good option as long as your 2005 Toyota Matrix is not an XR or XRS model. If it is an XR or XRS model then # C12013 would be the best option for a Curt hitch. These are both Class II hitches which means you have to use the ball mount recommended by the hitch manufacture so as not to void the hitch warranty. This will limit the amount of rise you can get to be able to tow the trailer level. Based on the picture you have sent you will need a good amount...

• Parts Needed To Be Able To Tow a Trailer With a 2013 Lexus CT 200h
  While we do carry all the components that you will need to be able to tow a trailer with your 2013 Lexus CT 200h it is not recommended for trailer towing by Lexus. That said you are likely past any manufacturer warranties that would be voided so the decision is yours to make.

You will need...

This includes the weight of the trailer, cargo, and everything inside or loaded on top of it.

• Does 2017 Chevy Cruze Diesel Have Towing Capacity and Parts Needed to Tow Small Trailer
  I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2017 Chevy Cruze and on page 261 it states "The vehicle is neither designed nor intended to tow a trailer" so I cannot recommend you do so, though the decision is of course up to you. If you do decide to tow, then you will absolutely want to go with the lightest, smallest of the trailers. For a diesel model of '17 Cruze the available trailer hitch from Curt is part # C11492, and since you mentioned 2" ball I assume you are also using the Euro...

• Trailer Hitch Options for a 2005 Audi Allroad Quattro
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11166 as you mentioned is rated for a maximum trailer weight capacity up to 2,000 lbs therefore, I cannot recommend you use this to tow your 2,475 lb trailer. The maximum trailer weight capacity of this hitch cannot be increased by using a class II ball mount like the Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar part # C45572 sadly. Unfortunately, we do not have any option for you to tow over 2,000 lbs with your Audi as none of the trailer hitch manufactures...

• Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer and Haul a Cargo Carrier With a 2016 Honda Civic Sedan
  Currently, a class I receiver like the Curt # C11604 that is rated for 200lbs of tongue weight and towing up to 2,000lbs is the only receiver available for your 2016 Honda Civic Sedan. There is not a receiver capable of supporting the weight of your Curt carrier fully loaded behind your Civic and this is most likely due to the structure under your Civic not being able to support the weight. The 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 will fit the class I receiver for your Civic. You will only...

• Parts Needed to Tow a Boat Trailer with a 2017 Honda HR-V
  I'll be happy to help you get your 2017 Honda HR-V setup for towing a boat trailer! Whenever a 2" hitch receiver is available for a vehicle I usually recommend going that route just because it allows you to use a wider variety of accessories. So for a hitch I recommend using the EcoHitch # 306-X7322 which has the 2" receiver and a hidden crosstube, however since I know that pricing is always a factor if you wanted something a little more cost-effective I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch...

• Comparing Actual Height Rise of Curt Class II Euro Ball Mounts C45572 and C45562
  The nature of the Euro ball mount design, which has a curved shank and a shorter actual ball height than a free-standing hitch ball like # 19258, can allow for multiple interpretations of the actual rise. Not to worry. What I did for you was go to our warehouse and measure these two items. For the time being please ignore the specs and if you would use the following dimension I took on each ball mount. What I did was measure the distance from the TOP of the square shank to the TOP of the...

• Who Can Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2005 Chevy Corvette Convertible
  A motorcycle purist would say Ride that hog to Sturgis! But you and I know that is not always an option. Plus there is something about a Vette towing a Harley that is awesomely American. Talk about turning some heads! I checked with Curt and they have a Gold level installer at the Sears at the Lima, Ohio shopping mall who could install hitch # C11034 on your 2005 Chevy Corvette. A trusted mechanic or RV dealer with a service center could also perform the installation. Please note that...

• Hitch and Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2013 Ford C-Max
  For your 2013 Ford C-Max the Curt trailer hitch part # C12092 would be a great option confirmed to fit. It's a Class II with plenty of capacity as well at 3,500 lbs trailer weight. For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 119250KIT which is also a fit. For a ball mount you'd then want the part # C45571 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or part # C45572 for a 2 inch ball.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For Trailer Towing With a 2008 VW GTI
  I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11074 for your 2008 Volkswagen GTI. I checked with Draw-Tite, EcoHitch and Stealth as they make the hidden receivers and none of them have anything to fit your GTI. The Curt does have a small 1-1/4" receiver that will keep the receiver up tight against your rear fascia and have the least impact on ground clearance. The receiver itself is rated to tow up to 2,000lbs with a 200lb tongue weight rating. Curt recommends their 2" Euro Ball Mount...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2015 Infiniti Q50
  For your 2015 Infiniti Q50 the Curt hitch part # C11407 has been confirmed as a fit and would work well for you as long as the weight of your trailer when loaded would end up being less than 2,000 lbs total trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. Now you would also need to check the owners manual of the vehicle to determine what the towing capacities are for it and stay under the lesser of the two capacities (hitch and vehicle.) For trailer wiring you would need the # C56248, for a ball...

• Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatibility With a 2015 Buick LaCrosse With Dual Exhaust
  You will not have any issues mounting the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12115 on your 2015 Buick LaCrosse with the dual exhaust. Since this receiver fits a large selection of Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles the installation notes will cover all the different vehicles but some steps like lowering the exhaust will not always be necessary. For your LaCrosse I do not see any need to lower the exhaust. Curt recommends using their Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap # 18050 for any hitch mounted...

• Parts Needed To Pull a Ace Single Rail Motorcycle Trailer With a 2014 Ford Focus SE
  Personally I prefer the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11158 over the Draw-Tite # 24872 as the Curt is made in the USA. Both these are Class I receivers with a capacity up to 2,000lbs of trailer weight and 200lbs of tongue weight. Be sure to verify the capacity for your 2014 Ford Focus SE with either your owners manual or Ford dealer. You will need either a 4-way flat wiring harness for the trailer lights. We have the Kit # 118548 which fits the sedan or the Kit # 118549 if you have a hatchback....
