This Curt trailer hitch adds solid utility for gear and light towing jobs. With a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening, it’s built to handle up to 2,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. That’s plenty for small trailers, bike racks, or a compact cargo carrier. The square-tube, visible cross-tube design gives you a sturdy connection point right under the bumper without getting in the way.
No welding or fabrication is needed to get this hitch mounted. The custom-fit bolt pattern lines up with existing holes, and the complete hardware kit comes in the box. You can handle it at home with basic tools—no lift required. Each weld is done robotically for precision fit and consistent strength, so once it’s tightened down, it stays put.
The fully welded steel body is finished with a gloss black powder coat over a protective base layer for rust resistance. Road salt, water, and dirt wash right off without pitting or flaking the metal. That durable coating keeps the hitch looking clean and helps it hold up through years of towing and weekend projects.
This hitch is purpose-built for smaller towing setups and accessories. It pairs with Class I-rated drawbars, ball mounts, cargo carriers, and bike racks without needing adapters. A drawbar, pin, and clip are sold separately so you can choose only what you need for your setup. Once installed, it’s a simple way to turn your vehicle into a capable hauler for bikes, gear, or light trailers.

I used a dremel tool to expand just two corners of the holes on the car frame instead of making the entire holes larger. The point is to get the plates and the bolts through it, so it's not necessary to make the entire hold larger. Kind of like o->{} instead of o->O.
After getting the bolts in place, I used a bunch of strong magnets to hold them there, just so I don't accidentally push them back in while putting the hitch in place. Remember there are two different sizes of bolts/nuts/fish-wires.
Everything went smoothly until the last torque'ing part. There's barely enough room on the left side (without the exhaust pipe) to make this happen. On the right side, it's practically impossible without lowering the muffler. I got the left side exactly at 110/70 ft-lb, but I had to wing it for the right side. That's the only reason I knocked one star off.
All in all, I managed to do it all by myself and it looks nice. I like how it points up ever so slightly, too.
Super easy to install. Minimal amount of filing/drilling necessarily. Self install took about 25 min start to finish.
Great instructions, good quality, but a huge pain to install if you have any sort of aftermarket exhaust. If you have an aftermarket exhaust where the tip is extended beyond the normal tip length, I highly recommend taking the exhaust off before you try to install it. It fits with my Borpa 11843 axleback but it may not fit at all with a different one.
Installation was straight forward as shown on the video and instructions. Looking forward to using it with my bike rack!
A friend of mine helped me install the hitch on my car, and it installed just as the directions and video indicated. Though it was tricky at times, the video was very helpful and I am very happy with the product.
easy install, just be sure you have the correct brackets with the correct sized bolts! (The ones that go inside the frame rail) There are two different sizes.
Installation was a charm! I installed the hitch myself (75 years old) following video instruction and it went exactly as shown. couldn't be more pleased. Great product with easy installation. Thank you.
Very satisfied with the product! The installation was as easy as it looked on your [online] videos (which are really helpful by the way)! Delivery Time was great as well.
Thanks for a job well done!
Good price, shipped right away. A mechanic friend installed for me, though I could have muddled through myself and bashed a knuckle or two. It has worked perfectly! No complaints, completely satisfied with the product. My picture isn't of the hitch, but what it allows :)
Prompt shipping, great product and thanks for including items to help make installation easier.
The hitch was perfect. Installation was a bit difficult due to having to enlarge two of the holes on the car frame. But once that was done everything went smoothly.
Fits well and installation was not overly difficult. 2nd person recommended for one step. etrailer delivered quickly and in good shape.
What a great hitch and heavy duty.
I use it for a bike rack and it keep the bikes far from the rear door as the hitch is flush with the bumper.
It only took about 1 hour to install.
The hitch was an easy install. My friend JP did not believe the fish method would work. He changed his mind. The install took about an hour. Works great with my bike rack. Will recommend to others.
easy purchase, great, simple and easy customer service with followups.
Good quality of item. Easy to install (watch that YouTube video!).
etrailer is excellent UPS not so much but they fixed their mess up.

Awesome ???? holds up for what I need
Easy installation. The fish wire worked great! I had my doubts at first.
This will make transporting my bicycles a piece of cake.
P.S. I installed the hitch on a Crosstrek Hybrid, fit perfectly.
The hitch install took me a couple of hours including gathering all the tools, and waiting a bit for the touch up paint to dry around the enlarged holes. It was very easy and I was able to do it by myself. The complaint I have is someone at etrailer put their sticker upside down on hitch.
Installed with no issue and it works great. One issue, because the side plates are solid and saddle both sides of the muffler, it tends to create an echo chamber and at times sounds like an aftermarket/hi-flow exhaust. A bit annoying that I get the sound without the performance ??

I keep a Kuat Sherpa II dual bike rack on it all the time, works great!
The hitch arrived quickly from etrailer! I purchased a discounted model with a few cosmetic scratches on it? Guess what the scratches are hidden by the bumper of my 2014 Subaru XV Crostrek! Install took approximately 60 minutes. The paper instructions weren't easy to understand, but after watching the install video from your site, a couple of times it went smoothly!
I have also purchased the Swagman Chinook 2 bike platform carrier to be installed soon.
This hitch fit our 2013 Subaru Impreza Sport perfectly. Watching the video of this hitch being installed was very helpful. I watched the video several times during the installation process to make sure I was doing it properly. I backed the rear wheels onto car ramps to create an adequate working space. My only suggestion would be to make the 1/2" bolts a little longer to make threading the nut on easier.
My wife and I installed this on my her Impreza 5-Door so that we could use the Thule TH990XT to carry our bikes. Installation requires us to enlarge two holes in the subframe. After that, the installation was extremely easy if you have two people working on it. The hitch receiver looks great and does not stick out beyond the bumper at all. We don't even notice it when the bike rack is not on there.
fit like a glove. Easy installation.
Hitch fit just as indicated. A bit of a pain enlarging holes but fortunately it was accomplished using a drill and boring tool. Whoever came up with the jig to pull the bolts through the holes is a genius. To anyone installing this or a similar hitch just “READ” and follow the instructions. Was able, though a bit tough installing by myself. Good luck torquing the bolts.....was able to get the forefront bolts to but getting the torque wrench on the back bolts was impossible, using a good socket wrench was the best I could do. On to the lighting assembly.....

Great, used it for a new bicycle rack. Worked great. Thanks
I purchased this hitch for my '16 Subaru Crosstrek. It arrived quickly and install took about 30 minutes. As you can see in the photos, it looks well integrated (not like an add-on). Using it with a Yakima Holdup bike rack.
Very pleased with the customer service from etrailer.com. A friend recommended to me and I will do the same.

Still vary satisfied with the hitch. I use it mostly for attaching my bike rack. Even bought a Subaru cap to put on it when not in use.
Info for this part was:

Hitch has been great. The rear-end of the car sagged with any load on it, so I swapped the rear springs with stiffer, but still standard height, ones made by King Springs. The car is perfect now.
