This hitch is built for light towing and accessory use, giving you a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening rated for up to 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. That means it’s strong enough for a two-bike rack, small cargo carrier, or a lightweight trailer setup for weekend trips. The Class I rating keeps it simple and dependable for everyday driving, whether you’re hauling camping gear or heading to the trailhead.
You don’t need a lift or special tools to get this hitch on your vehicle. The frame mounts are designed for a precise alignment with existing holes, so it bolts right up using the included hardware kit. No welding or modifications required. Most folks handle the install in their driveway with just basic hand tools and some patience.
The fully welded, square-tube design gives it solid strength and rigidity, while the gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat keeps rust away. That layered protection means it’ll stay looking good and resist corrosion through years of rain, salt, and road debris.
Whether you’re pulling a small utility trailer or carrying bikes out for a ride, this receiver gives you flexibility. It’s compatible with Class I accessories like ball mounts, cargo carriers, and bike racks. The drawbar, pin, and clip are sold separately so you can pick just what you need for your setup.

Easy to install, just takes some patients fishing the bolts through the frame if you haven't done it before. Works great for my bike rack.
I haven't opened the box yet... I am so excited. Thank you for all your help. Kelly
Great product, great service. I lost one of the bolts in my cars frame and they mailed me a replacement at no cost.
Fit well. Went together without a,.... hitch. Got about 200miles since install. Everything working properly.
As I 59 year old woman, I was able to install this hitch along with my son-in-laws help. It was easy and works great!
Well put together package with accurate tolerances for tge install. Fish wires are excellent tools.
Excellent so far. Installation was ALOT easier than I was expecting. Delivery was still fast despite a delay. Solid product. Will update after actual use.
Everthing worked great and i thank you vary much rose you made it vary sample and ez your the best and I tell everone about etrailer.com thank you vary much rose.
Nikki was awesome! Helped me make sure I had the right hitch for my car. Followed up with tracking info and it was delivered 3 days sooner than promised. Will definitely recommend to others. I manage a bike shop so there will be many referrals.
Perfect for my Mazda 3 2013. I tow a small trailer for my kayak and have towed our Jon boat as well. No hassles, great service.
Easy to intall. Only complaint is that it rubs against the exhaust causing it to clang every time I go over every pothole laden road in New England. Simple, temporary solution was to pull the pipe away from it
Excellent!! I had the hitch installed in less than an hour. The on-line video was very helpful. It made the installation instructions very clear. The wire spring tool made the installation very easy. The hitch is barely noticable. I can't wait to start using it.
Easy to follow video for hitch and wiring kit for the 2013 mazda 3 about an hour maybe a little longer but works and easy install i would buy again
Very hard they need to put in bold letters difficulty rating 7 out of 10 being highest I have installed over 45 in my lifetime you have to move exhaust you have to wiggle l pipe you have to put back on first ratchet only you will not get thread even?
It took 2 hours and 20 minutes? The only reason I gave it average rating is because it fits under bumber just where you can still get to it at night in dark.
We have used our hitch often and it’s great! I appreciate the follow up and the great customer service. Your company was very thorough helping me choose the hitch that was right for my car. Thank you and I wish you continued success.
This is my third e Trailer receiver hitch that I have purchased and installed.
Your web site is very user friendly, your products have all arrived promptly with easy to follow instructions and all three fit my vehicles properly and were easy to install.
eTrailer has terrific and quick service. Hitch was super easy to install, just a few bolts and you're ready to go. I've installed one on a Subaru Impreza and Mazda 3 and have been very satisfied using bike hitch racks on them.
Works great. The hitch has held up wonderfully this past year. I keep a bike rack in it pretty much 24/7 and have had zero issues hauling by mountain bikes around. I also used this to tow a trailer cross country and similarly had zero issues. Would recommend.
This hitch was pretty quick and easy to install and has been perfect for utilizing a hitch-mounted bike rack on our car. I definitely plan to use similar hitches with any future car purchases, simply due to how satisfied I have been with this hitch.
Absolutely perfect fit on my 2011 Mazda 3 4-door sedan. The printed instructions were not at all useful, but the eTrailer video was extremely helpful as were the comments in the review from "Gman" on 2/16/2022. The build quality and finish appear excellent, too.
The curt trailer hitch has been a great product. I use it for a bike rack. It looks good and has been very reliable. I had difficulty trying to install it on a Mazda 3 so had a shop do it. I would purchase again through etrailer. The delivery was prompt and arrived as described.
Product fits perfect on 2011 Mazda 3 Sedan. One person installation is a little challenging but can be done. Installing the bolts using the fishing wire was a breeze. If installing without help, put a nut on the closest bolts to the bumper enough that they won't fall off if being hit when lifting the hitch up. Next get some items to prop up the hitch up (in middle and both sides) after positioning over the underpanel trim extension. Start with exhaust side. Remove prop and loosely attach back two bolts. Now take off the front nut and loosely attach front bolt. Repeat with other side, torque all bolts and you're done. Clearance on the bumper side is about 1/4", no issues with exhaust hitting bumper on normal roads.

Hitch still strong, no issues.
Install was easy., The only thing I would recommend is put the further back bolts in the frame before you do the front ones
The install of the hitch went really quick,Would definitely recommend to people to lift it to the car
I recently sold my all wheel drive and needed trailer capability on my personal car, a Mazda 3 sedan. I have had this trailer since 1994 and use it for moving many things from yard waste, building materials, furniture, and my motorcycle. The hitch, drawbar, and harness wiring are of excellent quality. The installation was straight forward with many videos on the internet providing help. The only challenge requires patience threading the bolt wire thread. All successful, looks great on the auto, and is extremely sturdy. Highly recommend.
After receipt of hitch the high quality was apparent. All installation hardware was included. After reading the instructions and viewing an on=line installation video I decided to try the install myself. I was amazed at the ease of installation, and I am well satisfied with the results. Thank you for providing a great product at a reasonable price,

Excellent. The hitch is used on a daily basis to support a bike rack. It has been very dependable and handy. Your company had a detailed explanation of the rack pre-purchase. We are satisfied with the product and customer service from etrailer.
