This Curt trailer hitch receiver is made for light-duty towing and everyday attachments. With a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening, it handles up to 2,000 lbs of gross trailer weight and 200 lbs of tongue weight. That’s enough for a small utility trailer, cargo basket, or a two-bike rack. The Class I rating keeps it straightforward and simple—strong enough for daily gear without being oversized.
You don’t need a lift or special tools to get this hitch on. It bolts up using the included hardware and aligns with existing mounting points, so there’s no welding involved. The precision, robotic welding gives you a solid fit and makes alignment easier during install. Once it’s torqued down, you’re ready to hook up a drawbar, bike rack, or cargo carrier.
The hitch body is fully welded steel with a gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base layer. That combination helps fight off rust and corrosion so it keeps its strength and clean look over time. The square-tube design gives it a sturdy feel and sits neatly under the bumper for a tidy appearance.
This receiver works with standard 1-1/4" hitch accessories like drawbars, pins, and clips (sold separately). Add what you need for towing—whether that’s a small camper, lightweight trailer, or just hauling extra gear for the weekend—and keep your setup compact and reliable at all times.

Ratings & Reviews
Quality product. All hardware needed was supplied and instructions were easy to understand. I use it for bike transportation which requires a strap to the front of the trunk lid. I've used it for thousands of miles without any issues. Vehicle is a 2013 Nissan Altima.
Easy to install with minimum labour and experience. handle my boat trailer adequately.
Your install video was accurate and very helpful. The fit was good.
This was an excellent part. Easy installation. Sturdy design. Primarily used for a bike rack
pretty easy to install. No drilling, just enlarging existing holes. They did send me the wrong instructions but i was able to find the correct ones easily . this is my 3d hitch install. I really like this company!
The video installation instructions gave me the confidence to install the receiver myself and it went exactly as expected. Shipping was fast and the receiver appears to be of great quality. Now we can take the bikes with car and don't have to use the truck.
IT FITS WELL. I would recommend 4 fish wires to hold your bolts in place while mounting the hitch. also the bolts are about 1/8" short to even make the last thread of the nut.
The hitch went on just fine. If I have anything negative to say about the components is that the 4 bolts that were supplied with the kit could have been 1/8-1/4" longer. When fully torqued there was still 1-1/2 threads left unused in the mounting nuts. Why not go for full thread engagement? It is only stronger & there was nothing that would've been interfered with by a slightly longer bolt protruding from the nut.
Love the product. We followed the instructions and it was easy. We did add a very small procedure and that was to put one drop of superglue between the bolt and the plate because when we were putting the hitch up onto the bolt we were pushing the bolt up into the rail. 1 drop of superglue held the bolt and plate together so it had some weight dropping through the hitch. Product and instructions were great. I would also rank customer support at a 10 out of 5, better than I could imaging before I bought the product and even after I bought with so many people checking in with me making sure everything was ok.
It fit great!
This hitch is great! I have had no issues with the operation of the hitch and use to haul camping gear and also have a hitch bike rack that carries my mountain bike.
I will say that the carriage bolts that came with the hitch are much too short, you get about 2 threads of engagement to on the nuts, I had to go buy 4 longer carriage bolts and then cut them to the length with an angle grinder.
Fast delivery
I like that etrailer had a selection of hitches for me to choose from. Product came as described, instructions were complete, durability seems fine. Etrailers installation videos are spot-on, and very helpful. Phone contact with customer service was very positive, like walking into an auto parts store with friendly and helpful Parts staff. I refer people to etrailer when and where I can with no hesitation.
Easy to install except for exhaust joints being completely rusted together lol
Fast reliable and easy to install been fishing with my Altima 2009 because diesal in California is insanely high. Worth it! Love it will order from them for all my trailer needs! Thank you etrailer
Hitch arrived in excellent condition. Still pending install but all looks good and simple to complete the install process. Thanks for the quick delivery, too.
Fit perfectly
Install was fairly straight forward. A second pair of hands was helpful when threading the nuts to the carriage bolts so that the bolts weren't accidently pushed up into the frame. The etrailer install video was good.
The product fit perfectly on my 2018 Nissan Altima SV. The only bit I can add is I used a hard plastic cup, cut into circles, with a hole drilled in the middle of each, to use as holders for the carriage bolt so it would not push into the frame when putting on the Receiver.
Great product, easy installation. Been a year in NY and no rust or corrosion has started.
Well, I ordered the same hitch from another online retailer, we know which one, and it was delivered slightly out of alignment. It would not fit my 2017 Nissan Altima. I returned it and ordered another. Same issue but this time it was even worse, mounting arms visually bent. I found this hitch on etrailer.com and was able to actually talk to a real person who listened to my saga and helped get a hitch shipped to me that was perfect. I installed it and everything worked out well. Thanks y'all!
I've put this hitch on a 2017 and 2023 Altima. Shipping box arrived in good shape. Improved packaging kept the hitch from bouncing around in the box. Did the install by myself, in my garage, working off the floor. Your videos showing use of a step bit to enlarge one hole on each side was not my experience. It could have been a dull bit that I borrowed from a neighbor. I used a cutoff wheel on a 4.5 inch angle grinder with good results (much faster, anyhow). BTW, I also installed the powered Curt wiring to save the small gage wires used for the car LED lights. DAN
Took a little over an hour to install with most of the time spent loosening the nuts to remove the rear mufflers. I followed the manufacturer instructions and enlarged one of the existing frame holes with a step bit, rather than drilling another access hole. It worked great.
This hitch fits perfectly on my 2017 Maxima and is tucked in just right for my bike rack.
I strongly recommend the product.
Very nice receiver. I like that you don't have to put holes into the trunk of your car to install this like other receivers. Fits nicely on the 2019 and newer Nissan Altima's. Due to the car being low, the receiver is a bit low as well. Would need to make sure the bike rack has an upward rake to prevent any problems with hitting the road when going over bumps. Only problem I had was there were two scratches on the receiver. Not bad enough to send back. Cheaper to touch up the non painted surface of the scratch.
Easy install. Directions good. Worked good. Installed 2016 Nissan Altima. Pulled a small camper trailer through Colorado to Grand Canyon and back.

That sounds like an awesome trip, Ron! I may only be a little jealous that you got to go to the Grand Canyon. It's been a long time since I was last there.
