To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
This hitch is built for light-duty towing and everyday accessories like bike racks or cargo trays. With a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening, it handles up to 2,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. That’s enough strength for small trailers, utility hauls, and the gear you use most. The sturdy, square-tube design keeps everything stable while you’re on the move.
You don’t need a lift or a welder to get this hitch on your vehicle. The bolt-on installation lines up with factory attachment points, and all hardware and detailed instructions come in the box. It’s a good fit for driveway installs with common hand tools—a solid project for anyone who likes to handle upgrades themselves.
The fully welded steel body is finished with a gloss black powder coat over a protective base layer that helps stop rust before it starts. That double finish keeps the hitch looking sharp through road grime and weather, so it stays ready when you are.
Because it’s a Class I hitch, you can attach small cargo carriers or bike racks rated for Class I receivers. It gives you options for hauling extra gear on weekend trips or daily errands without loading up the inside of your vehicle. When used with non-trailer loads like racks or baskets, Curt requires a stabilization strap?#18050 to reduce stress on the hitch and maintain warranty coverage.

Looks good under fascia. Not used yet
Fits great, well made
stout, easy install (sort of...easy enough), meets the need.
Got the hitch sooner than expected... I'll reply, after it's installed... thanks guys
Fits perfect. Very easy installation 2012 A6
For anyone wondering the hitch fits a 2017 A6 without a problem. Easy install comes with quality hardware!
Excellent quality of powder coating, no fitment issues, and looks very discrete under my A6. Pro-tip: don't be too liberal when trimming the fascia (plastic trim) as well as attempting to remove it, as doing so makes reinstalling it more even difficult; and it's possible to install with one set of hands, but not recommended. 10/10 would buy again.
My experience with etrailer went well beyond my expectations. First was my interaction with Rebecca, who explain to me the product I was inquiring about and my options. She emailed the product information, expertly answered all my questions, tracked my order and made sure everything was delivered and was to my satisfaction. The product itself was delivered on time and worked perfectly for my needs and was exactly what I wanted.
I ordered a hitch and a modulite controller. Upon arrival the box was mangled and only the hitch was inside, I reached out on a holiday and they were prompt to respond and send me a new one. I haven't installed it yet but as a company review worth the 5 stars. I'll try and revise review once installed and has been on for a while.
Great product. Easy installation and a great fit
This hitch fit the 2017 Audi A-6. The instructions could be rewritten for this car because of the change in exhaust tips from the previous year. That's it. Any good mechanic can figure that out. The hitch bolts on perfect. No problems.
easy to hook in took 30 min no tools needed I did drill in to the center of the grommet under the tire instead of removing the rubber plug I think its better that way the 2 shroud screw was hard to get back in that should of cut the metal plate on the corners to make it better but all in all it was very easy to install the hitch place wanted $250 to install I laughed and did my self in no time if you have tire ramps it better to use them
the weight rating is low so you have to get a Thule 35 lbs rack with the the 2 e-bike to keep in under 160 lbs
I love this hitch which at first I didn’t figure out would get a space on my Audi but surprisingly it fitted so discreetly under the bumper and it doesn’t stay exposed. The e-trailer fitting manual was easy to follow and with a friend we had it fitted in less than two hours without challenge.
I haven’t tried hooking up accessories yet but looking forward to this summer when I set out for bike trails.
The Curt Hitch Receiver looks good and is serving me well. The install went smoothly on my 2016 Audi A6 TDI but I’m thankful that my helper had small hands. The receiver continues to support our two-bike rack without issue. We use the recommended support strap to add extra stability to the loaded bike rack.
Haven’t installed it yet but I must give credit to fantastic shipping box and great quality in hitch and attachment hardware. The container was ingenious in its simplicity and ruggedness although it did manage to rip a hole in the side but no damage was done
