This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is built for small trailers, cargo carriers, and bike racks. With a 2,000-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 200-lb tongue weight rating, it’s made for light-duty hauling without compromising strength or stability. The sturdy square-tube design provides a solid connection point for all your towing accessories, and the Class I 1-1/4" receiver opening fits standard light-duty ball mounts and racks.
You don’t need to weld or modify anything to get this hitch in place. It bolts on directly using a complete hardware kit and clear instructions. The precision, robotic welding ensures proper alignment with factory holes, so you can line it up and tighten it down with basic tools. It’s the kind of project you can handle in your driveway without special equipment.
The fully welded steel construction adds long-term durability, while the gloss black powder coat over a protective base coat keeps rust away. That double-layer finish gives it a clean look that stands up to road grime, moisture, and salt year after year. Whether you’re towing a small trailer or carrying gear on a rack, this hitch holds strong against the elements.
Pair it with the right drawbar, pin, and clip to complete your setup. The receiver is ready for standard 1-7/8" or 2" hitch balls depending on what you’re towing (sold separately). You can also add carriers or racks made for Class I hitches to haul bikes or luggage when you need extra space. It’s an easy upgrade that makes everyday trips more versatile.

With great appreciation,

This trailer hitch fit perfectly you would think it came from the factory. I did the installation on my back an hour before dark It was able to complete with no problem very nice kit.
I don't very often write reviews on products I buy but I'm so pleased with this experience I am going to make an exception. From the overall ease of use of your website to the quality and ease of installation of the trailer hitch I was completely satisfied.
not much for words, but all products I have ordered from etrailer has been great including my last order a curt hitch well built and fit perfect.
Price was great. Ordered on tuesday received on friday.
Installation took about 45 minutes for the Hitch. Wiring took about an hour. Running wire from battery to rear was hardest part .
Instructions were great. One of the easiest projects I've ever done.
Would definetly recommend to anyone.
Good Service, Reasonable Price, Fast Delivery, Easy Install, what
more could You ask for.
Thanks Russ
I was tired of putting my bicycle in the back of my vehicle so I purchased this hitch in order to use a Thule hitch rack. It was a perfect fit and super easy to install. Awesome customer service too!
I ordered from the correct internet salessite (etrailer.com) for my trailer hitch. The ease of ordering, quick service and on time delivery meant additional savings for me. They had a super service of eMailing me the status of my order each day it was enroute until it arrived. Thanks for a great shopping experience.
I ordered this for my PT Cruiser and it went on with no drama at all--perfect fit, very sturdy, and I've taken it on the road with no trouble at all. Very well made. One thing--if you don't have access to a lift, you might want to consider taking it to a shop and having it put on for you--especially if you're over 40 years old and installing the Curt wiring kit. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the design or the installation directions for any of the components--it just takes a lot less time and effort if you don't have to jack the car up on stands and do the limbo for a couple of hours. If you have a lift handy, I'd guess the install would take less than an hour total for both wiring and hitch.
Before you get comfortable under your Cruiser have a 10 mm socket for the muffler ground strap and 15mm wrench and socket w/long extension to remove the original bolts. The new bolts are 17mm. You also need to lower the spare down to slide the hitch into place. I took mine all the way out and discovered it only had 15 pounds of air. I want to say it looks great but it is so well tucked away you can't see it!
It fits perfect. The engineers really got it right with this product. Took me a little longer than the stated 40 minutes, but that was mainly because I'm working with floor jack and jack stands. Once I had her in the air and secured the installation was a breeze. Everything lined up perfect. I love that it is made in the USA. And the price is incredible. Thanks etrailer.
Hitch arrived with wrong hardware package. When I called to get correct hardware, my order wasn’t expedited in any way; it didn’t ship until the next day, and took several days to arrive. So, what should have taken an afternoon to complete, took most of a week. Furthermore, the bolt holes on the driver’s side did not line up well and took additional “finesse” to get the bolts started. Additionally, the hitch did not come with the hitch bar that was shown in one of the on-line photos. I was told that that was extra; that photo has since been deleted from te product page. I wouldn’t call this the best on-line merchant transaction I’ve ever had.
Fits better than I thought it would.
The hitch went on without issue. Drop the exhaust like suggested and you will be done within an hour. When removing the factory bolts hit them with a little penetrating oil first and use hand tools. Air tools can quickly round the head on an old rusty bolt.
This install was on a 2002 PT Cruiser and the hitch tucks nicely behind the fender plastic.
This is my third tow hitch purchase from eTrailer.com and the quality of their products is the BEST! (CURT hitch and wiring kit)
Installation is "easy peasy" with all holes perfectly aligned and videos available to show step by step instructions including a list of tools needed!
This was by far the easiest hitch I've installed. Removed the 2 factory rear tie downs (used when your car was shipped on the truck) which was 8 bolts, removed just the rear muffler hanger and the small ground strap and was able to slide the hitch in above the tailpipe without having to remove the front muffler rubber hanger. Wiring it took longer than installing the hitch but was pretty straight forward. Watched the install video a few times as I had a problem with the left brake light not working after finishing. Had the connector in the wrong place and it was an easy fix.
I tried etrailer because they had the best price. Thats all. My order showed up way ahead of schedule, like 3 days earlier which was a huge help to me. They also had a video of the installation. I borrowed a torque wrench from a friend and did it myself right in the driveway. Fit perfect. I sold that pt cruiser that I installed this hitch on last month and I plan to order a new fifth wheel hitch through etrailer for the f350 I have just bought. This was my honest experience and I am happy to be placing another order soon.
It's a perfect addition to my son's PT cruiser. Now with the retro look of the PT cruiser he can tow his 1980 smoker craft boat with the antique outboard motor. Thanks again E trailer for great products and my fifth hitch I purchased from you.
First, the hitch was shipped out on a Sunday, and arrived by Friday eve to Oregon.
I've installed a few trailer hitches over the years requiring some "fiddling" to get holes lined up. This Curt hitch fit like a glove. I was able to hand-start all the supplied bolts without filing or fairing holes. Once installed, which took me about an hour up on my hoist, the fitment to the body was perfect....couldn't be better. Very pleased.

Exçellent
Fantastic communication and follow up. Many thanks a million times over!
I had the hitch installed by a professional. They reviewed my order and confirmed the hitch I ordered was perfect. When I took to them for installation, they said it took less than an hour. Was easy to install. No problems. Worked perfect.
THANKS etrailer! for working with me and helping me choose the hitch that will work for my needs.
I'm using it with a bicycle rack for my 4 wheel walker so I don't have to put in the back seat or trunk anymore.
The rack you said will work - is AWESOME too! Very well made and looks like won't even have to modify it!
THANKS again!
Sorry - no photos right now.

still working great! thanks!
Fit perfectly! I have always been happy with the quality of the products that you sell. Shipping was fast and arrived on time.
Great hitch. I installed this on a 2003 PT Cruiser. It took two of us senior citizens an hour and 20 minutes to install. Lowering the muffler involved removing two 10mm bolts that held the front strap and two that held the back plus one more that connected a braided ground to the frame. After that, it was easy for two of us to slip the hitch over the muffler and position it. Note: Do yourself a favor and snug the four vertical bolts that hold the hitch to the vehicle frame first. That will make inserting the four horizontal bolts much easier (the holes will line up).
I am using this with an aluminum Hitch Haul style cargo carrier to carry gasoline and propane outside of the vehicle, so I have a 1 1/4" - 2" converter with a 4.5" rise to get the carrier off of the ground. Item MT70355.
Great product, installation was easy and instructions very good.
I didn't use any power tools and had to jack up the car put it on safety stands and use a creeper and it only took me one hr.
I removed the spare tire and removed both brackets from the frame for the muffler. The T-one wiring harness yellow wire could have been about two or three inchs longer but I made it work.
