This Curt trailer hitch receiver is made for light-duty towing and everyday hauling. With a Class I rating, a 2,000-lb gross trailer weight capacity, and 200-lb tongue weight limit, it’s right at home pulling a small utility trailer or carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier. The 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening is the standard size for compact setups and easily matches most Class I ball mounts and accessories.
You don’t need welding gear or a lift to get this hitch installed. The fully welded design bolts directly to factory attachment points using the included hardware kit, so you can handle the whole project with hand tools and a torque wrench. Precision robotic welding ensures the bolt holes line up correctly for a solid fit that doesn’t fight you during install.
The round-tube frame is made from welded steel and finished in gloss black powder coat over a protective base layer for better rust resistance. It holds up well against weather, road grime, and salt, keeping its clean look longer. The visible cross tube keeps the receiver stable while maintaining a simple, low-profile appearance under the bumper.
Once bolted up, this receiver opens up what you can do with your vehicle—carry a two-bike rack for weekend rides or hook up a small trailer for yard work or camping gear. Rated as a Class I hitch with 200 lbs TW and 2,000 lbs GTW, it’s a practical way to add function without overbuilding for jobs your vehicle was never meant to handle.

This is a great trailer hitch, very easy to install, took my husband and I less than 30 minutes. It fit perfectly to our 2015 Toyota Corolla and it looks great, just what we needed for our bike carrier.
overall good, shipping was quick. However, the bolts that came with it were not correct and being in rural kentucky took a couple trips into town for hardware which cost me more to have installed.
A year ago I ordered and installed one of your trailer hitches so I could mount a bike rack on my car. The hitch is well made and has worked great. Someone hit my car in a parking lot with the rack mounted and the assembly is so rugged there was zero damage to my car.
I check the mounting holes and they were blocked up, so I sprayed wd40 in there and scrubbed the holes with a small wire brush. Made the holes were and easy to screw the bolts in. Mounted the receiver hitch by myself and torqued it down. Really like it, may use it for other things besides the bike.
The hitch receiver was exactly what I needed for my Corolla. The installation was exactly as the video described. The threads on my car's frame were a little rusty, being 6 years old now, so I had to run a m12 x 1.25 tap through the threads on the vehicle to clean them out. The bolts went right in, and they even specify torque in the kit instructions. This will be great for towing my small trailer.
Easy to install after I used a tap to clean the treads on my vehicle. the tap I bought from another online retailer "Drill America m12 x 1.25 High Speed Steel Metric 4 Flute Bottoming Hand Tap, DWT Series". I use this hitch to mount a two bike rack on my vehicle.
Delivery was prompt and as promised, installation of the actual hitch was as is it as installing 4 bolts, there was really nothing to it the only mistake I made was to try and install it on my own, I recommend not to try it, it's a lot easier with someone helping you keeping it level while you put that 1st bolt after that help is really not needed.
Overall a great experience buying from etrailer, great product, excellent communication from the time you place the order to the time you get your product.
The hitch was purchased to install a bike rack and carry a couple bikes on it, at this time I have not tried to install a rack or carry any bikes once I actually use it I might be back for and update, overall I like it so far.
Some pictures are attached.
I love the trailer hitch we were able to put on my car so I could attach a bike rack. It took my husband extra time because my car is ten years old and MN winters had done some damage to the holes needed to attach but he did it and we are thrilled with the product. Thanks for such a great product!
Perfect fit and finish, mounts high and tight to underbody for ground clearance, well worth the the modest price, the box makes a nice pad to lay on also

Been using the receiver hitch for about a year now, used multiple times with no issues. Looks and functions as well as when e got it. No scratches or road scuffs.

Super easy installation. I borrowed a 12-1.25 tap from work so I could clean up the threads before trying to install the hitch. It would have been a little easier with another person holding up one side of the hitch while getting the bolts started,, but after a few minutes I was able to get it installed. Now I don't have to wait to use my wifes car when I need to use the little utility trailer.
I ordered the wiring harness separately and that was also very easy to install. The most difficult part was getting the tabs on the wire connectors depressed so I could get the old cennections apart.
This is an excellent product quality made, but it is not a 20-minute job for a New York car. The bolt holes in the vehicle were corroded so badly on a six-year-old car that they had to be re-drilled and re-fitted and the bolts for the trailer hitch had to be re-tapped it’s very sturdy, holds up well even after the modifications we had to do. I highly suggest if you want a trailer hitch on your car in Northern New York, don't wait until it’s six years old.
Receiver hitch arrived on the day it was supposed to. E trailer products always have.
4 bolts to install fit exactly correct. The vehicle is a Toyota Corolla. The trailer is extremely light. Trailer is used to haul one Kawasaki dual sport bike. It can easily haul 2. Utility use also.
The product arrived in three days from order. Being in a rural area you can't beat that.
Installation was simple and straight forward. There was nothing to remove on my 2005 Corolla and only minor was cleaning of the threaded holes was required. There is limited clearance under this car for installation so the biggest challenge was getting the first bolt started near the exhaust pipe as the location of the pipe makes it almost impossible get you hand in there to start the bolts. A 6" or so extension is a must. I used a 1/2" ratchet with a 1/2"-3/8" adapter, 6" extender, and long 19mm socket. The directions recommend 9" extension, but this was plenty. The other requirement is a torque wrench. 86 ft/lbs isn't a challenge for lug nuts, but with the extension and awkward position it requires some strength. I was surprised at how far I was from the torque spec with the 1/2" ratchet.
On the ground installation estimate of 30 minutes is accurate without rushing. On a lift this would be a cinch.
This is a nice, well built, sturdy product, and as a final perk it is Made in America.
This hitch works beautifully. I have most certainly loaded it to capacity and put it through it's paces now over the last year. It will definitely handle the advertised load. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars, is that it changes the way my car looks pretty substantially. I really love the way my corolla looked before the hitch and it is just a bit bulkier than I would like with the hitch on it. It would be nice if it had a more discrete profile.
The hitch fits the vehicle fine but I ended up needing a couple backer blocks and carriage bolts due to rusted threads and my etrailer rep told me etrailer doesn't sell stuff like that. I had a memory of hardware like that with a previous hitch and now figure I must have received it from Curt? Anyways... I don't see how dangerous it could be with a class 1 hitch, but whatever. 3 stars, the hitch is as advertised and fits the vehicle. I got my hardware elsewhere
Easiest hitch install yet… 4 bolts and done.
This hitch fits like a glove and looks and feels like a quality hitch. Mounted and ready to go in less than 10 minutes. The bolt holes in the frame of most vehicles will have a small amount of paint on the threads. If you start the bolts and then remove before mounting hitch it will save a lot aggravation as starting the bolts can sometimes take effort when paint and road grime are present. I learned this mounting another hitch. A small amount of WD-40 doesn’t hurt either. Shipping was lightening fast, arriving the next day- yes less than 24 hours ( I do live in the same state but nonetheless it takes a staff on the move to get items out the door as quick as etrailer. ) Another great experience with this company.

I see that youre using an adapter so your 2 inch bike rack will work in your Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. Please be aware that an adapter will lower the tongue weight capacity of the hitch maximum amount of downward force that can safely be applied by half, from 200 to 100 lbs. This means that the weight of the bikes plus the rack that carries them should not exceed 100 lbs. It looks like youre using a 3-bike rack. The hitch and bike rack manufacturers agree that no more than 2 bikes should be carried on a rack used in a Class I hitch, due to its lower tongue weight capacity. That third bike places a lot of additional leverage further away from the vehicle, which can result in the rack, hitch or the attachment point between the hitch and vehicle to be damaged.
Fit perfectly on our 2015 Toyota Corolla LE.
Quick and easy installation.
folks this is how a business is supposed to be ran. as soon as the order was placed i received an email from George J at e trailer with phone number to contact the company and a link to track the product. the product was very well made and fit properly .the snap on wires for the trailer was super good no cutting wires on your vehicle so my review is very good products very very good service thanks

the trailer hitch and wiring are both working well for us after about a years use . after having this thing for awhile i find it is just what i needed . i like the fact that when it is not being used the wiring goes in the trunk out of the weather .
I ordered this hitch for my 2014 Corolla for use with my Swagman XC bike rack. I am pleased with the quality of this hitch, it is much heavier duty than I expected. It bolted up easily with the supplied hardware and looks great. Hardly noticeable. The bike rack fits perfectly. Now I am ready to hit the trails.

I use the hitch for my bike rake. The hitch was super easy to install and looks good on the car. I have recommended your site to several others.
I had picked this brand in particular because one of my friends uses this brand on his car. This is a very well built, sturdy, and clean finished hitch. It came in well packaged and with all the necessary hardware secured and not rattling around. The installation was easy as it was shown on their instructional videos (I even skipped a step i found unnecessary and was still able to install the hitch by myself). The 1.25 hitch was perfect for installing my new bike rack. I'd definitely get this brand hitch again and will refer Curt and the whole etrailer process for purchasing a hitch. A what looked to me a complicated process was made easy with etrailers

After a year, its still holding strong. I even got rear-ended with my bike rack attached. The rack was damaged, but the hitch held strong and the bolts were still in place.
Fit perfectly on my car and holds my bike rack nicely. Does what it is intended to do.
Awesome hitch fit right up on my 2010 carolla easy to install only advise I have is follow their instructions and clean the bolt holes in the frame very well it matters
Other than that it took about 20 minutes great project don’t hesitate to do it yourself
It’s absolutely perfect for pulling this light load

So far so good. The paint seems to be holding up well. Perfect for what I use it for.

Awesome trailer hitch, I’ve used it a few times a month for a year, hauling a couple of mountain bikes on highways, surface streets and forest roads. No complaints about the product whatsoever, would buy again.
Note: Installing this yourself can take some time, as corroded bolt holes are a pain to re-thread. It’s doable though, either buy a thread-chasing kit or gradually thread the bolt in and out, allowing the bolt to break any accumulated rust.

I'd hate to see what the other car looked like. Glad yours is okay!
