This hitch is built for straightforward DIY installation. It bolts right on with no welding required, using the supplied hardware and instructions. The precision, robotic welding gives it a factory-level fit and strength, so alignment is right where it should be. Once it's on, the 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening is ready for light towing or accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers rated within its limits.
With a Class I rating, this hitch is set up for smaller towing jobs and everyday utility. It’s rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs and a tongue weight of 200 lbs. That’s ideal for small trailers, light equipment, or carrying two bikes on the back without stressing your setup. The fully welded steel construction delivers solid strength you can count on every time you haul.
The gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat keeps this hitch looking sharp while blocking rust and corrosion. The round-tube design gives it a clean, tucked appearance under the bumper instead of a bulky look. Even after rough seasons or long road trips, the coating helps protect against chips, keeping the metal underneath in good shape for years to come.

I bought this Curt hitch for my move from ohio to oklahoma since it was cheaper then driving a truck and then tow my car. The instillation was fast once I got everything situated since I did not have access to a lift. Thank goodness I’m a small women. Took me about an hour to finish the install but that includes the prep time.
Joshua B. was extremely helpful, I got my receiver in short time and it was a quality product. If I ever order another receiver, it will be a etrailer!
I use it to carry bikes around and it has been dependable after one year. I expect more years of flawless service. Install was slightly difficult with the fishing wire. My tip to you is do not thread the whole shanks with wire, only a turn or two.
Easy to fallow instructions, great design, and as always great customer service from etrailer. One thing I recomend is to google how to remove the rubber muffler isolator before you start the installation and you'll save some time.
Excellent product. The hitch, 5" adapter, cargo carrier. Easy to put together, all the parts were there. Very fast delivery. Kudos to Lisa and E. Trailer for above and beyond products and service. I have a small car and it was packed when I went camping alone. Now daughter and I are doing a 3 week trip in June. More stuff.
Packaging and arrival was sturdy and quick following my order placement.
All hardware needed was included along with clear instructions.
Thank God for y'alls video or else this venture would not have happened. I needed a tow hitch for my bike because the trunk mount I had was too sketchy. This product fit perfectly on my 2016 Honda Fit.
Little note: Curt's install video either didn't show or vehicle wasn't equipped like mine but I had a 3rd muffler mount further back. That was a doosy getting off. Didn't have a lot of room to screw in the nut above muffler so I had to take the rear passenger off to use the torque wrench. Other than that, I love it!!
I bought this for my 2020 Honda Fit for the sole purpose to haul mountain bikes. The hitch was easy to install with basic hand tools. It hold the weight of my ebike along with a friends just fine.
Has performed great for us. Only use it to support a bicycle mount but it is very stable and secure. Especially like the angle that it lowers at to allow the hatch back door of the 2018 Honda FIT to open completely. That was not the case with our previous hitch/2010 Honda FIT combination.
Great hitch, fast delivery, about $40 less than Amazon wanted fit the exact product.
I had to remove the bumper to get access, but its only a couple screws and some clips - very straightforward and easy install, solid product!
100% satisfied. Great customer service, fast shipping. Great product. The prices are unbeatable. I won't buy from anyone else.

It has been nothing but great. Thank you for taking time to follow up with me. I appreciate it.
Great install instructions. Took the dog and I about an hour and a half start to finish with a little troubleshooting with dish soap. It has held up great, gets multiple bikes around town. A little wiggle between the hitch and the bike rack but I don’t think it’s the hitch’s fault.
After doing extensive research on what trailer hitch to purchase for my 2015 Honda Fit, I decided on the Curt C11406. It turns out to be an Excellent choice! I Love the Hitch. It was Super easy to install and only took me 30 min. I did it without having to lift up the back end of my car. - Layout a tarp, have tools ready and at hand, pulling the rubber muffler hanger should be spray with soapy water and can be push off the hanger easier (Use gloves if you have them/makes it easier to push off hanger) (Definitely use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightness of bolts.) I also purchased the Curt Rubber Tube Cover C22271. Etrailer has great deals with fast shipping. I highly Recommend. Will be doing business again. Thanks Etrailer!

Installed this on a 2015 Fit. It was the second hitch I've ever installed, and it was by far the easiest. Other than futzing with the muffler's rubber bushings, it was a piece of cake. It was fairly easy to remove the muffler from the bushings, but it was challenging to get the muffler reinstalled. I am sure it'd be easy with the proper tool or with a lift, but I had a tough time doing it lying under the car and with various hand tools. It is in a position where it's hard to get leverage.
I would estimate that it took me 40 minutes, start to finish. Much of that time was eaten up by getting he car jacked up and supported and screwing with the muffler. The actual install of the hitch took about 10 minutes. It was slightly awkward to do by myself, but I borrowed another reviewer's suggestion to use my jack to lift the hitch into place. No drilling was required, as promised.
Also I wanted to mention that while the manual says that you have to use a strap to support the hitch, it seems fine without it, at least with light loads. I've carried my bike on a hitch, and it does not seem to flex very much. I am not at all worried about it, although it might not be strong enough to support three or four bikes. I think it's a function of how this has to attach to the car. The upper and lower supports are separated vertically more than they are horizontally, so that's got to weaken the lateral support capability.
Works well, I have no complaints. I do wish it came with (or had an option to purchase) tools to easily remove or tighten/loosen the screws. Other than that, great product!
I was very pleased with the design, quality and specially the price. Instructions were detailed which I barely used since I am very mechanically inclined. I wanted to install a hitch on my small car to use a bike rack. My new hitch and bike rack look so nice!
Easy install on my Honda Fit to hold a bike rack. Install was straightforward, lowering the exhaust was much easier than I expected.
The best part of doing business with etrailer is, I know I will find what I need when I go to their website. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver fit the Fit. Installation on the 2016 Fit was a challenge, especially compared to installation of the equivalent hitch receiver I installed on a 2008 Honda Fit, which I also bought from etrailer. Instructions suggested that I could remove the exhaust system, as required on the 2016, without special tools. I needed to buy a special tool and even with the special tool I was challenged. All the necessary hardware was included and the installed hitch receiver meets all expectations. I also purchased a wiring harness for the trailer. Again, installation on the 2016 Fit was a challenge, especially compared to the installation of the equivalent wiring harness I installed on a 2008 Honda Fit, which I also bought from etrailer. The 2008 wiring harness is a "plug-and-play" installation with no cutting and no splicing. The 2016 wiring harness requires cutting and splicing and running additional wire. The wiring harness purchased and the instructions supplied enabled me to execute the work successfully. The installed wiring harness meets all expectations.
The installation challenges are because of the Fit, not the Curt products.

James,Thank you for your review. If you are looking for a wiring harness that does not require splicing into your existing wiring I recommend Item # 119250KIT. This Tekonsha wiring harness is not consider a plug and play application but the sensors on this wiring harness clamp onto your factory tail light wiring to detect current but you will still have to run the black power wire to the cars battery.

Reverse fish wire is clever and works, but is a little unnerving to try to pull through the hole because the bolt isn’t secured very snuggly
The rubber muffler hangers were a bit tricky to reinstall, not impossible, just tricky.
Routing the Hot wire for the trailer wiring is best done on a lift.

The 12V feed for the wiring can be tricky without a lift, I like to use ramps.
Installation was super easy. Instructions and videos very clear. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the rubber exhaust hanger contacts the hitch and now there is vibration through the vehicle at idle. Not a huge deal but...
Thank you Sara W. Perfect fit for our FIT! Hollywood Bike Rack Fits Perfectly. Thank you

Install looks great Mark! I am glad we had the right fit for you so you can get out doing what you love! Do you have specific trail you like to ride? We have the Katy Trail here in Missouri and it is always loaded with riders when the weather is nice.
Extremely easy to install. Just did our maiden voyage with our new (to me) Honda Fit and our small TimeOut camper and everything worked flawlessly.
The enclosed items to help with install were awesome.

We appreciate you sharing your experience Sid Ceaser! Happy to know the install went well. Let us know how your first trip with the Fit and TimeOut camper went. Reach out if you have any questions and thanks for choosing etrailer!
I have installed a LOT of hitches over the years, but never has one been as simple, perfectly designed, and installation friendly as this one. Curt did it again!!! Even the included spring wires to feed the bolts were included!! They thought of everything. I watched the YouTube installation video before it arrived and didn't even have to look at the instructions except to get the torque specs. Absolutely perfect product for my little 2015 Honda FIT. Thank you!!!

It is so wonderful when companies supply all the hardware and those special fishwires to make our lives easier Alvin! I hate starting a job only to find out I need to make a run to the hardware store. I have helped with my fair share of hitch installs here at etrailer on the lifts, this weekend I will be putting a hitch on my Ford Escape in my driveway to get the full neighbor (customer) experience =) What do you mainly use your hitch for? I just fell in love with riding a bike again, I have the rack, just need a way to haul it.
