This 1-1/4" receiver is built for light-duty towing and accessory use. With a Class I rating, it handles up to 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight — plenty for a small trailer, cargo basket, or bike rack. The precision, robotic-welded steel construction keeps the hitch solid and reliable mile after mile.
You don’t need to cut or weld anything to get it mounted. This hitch bolts directly on using the existing attachment points under the car. Everything needed comes in the complete hardware kit, and the included instructions walk you through each step. It’s designed with DIYers in mind so you can take care of the install in your own driveway with common tools.
The gloss black powder coat finish adds a clean look and protects the steel from rust and corrosion. A protective base coat underneath gives it an extra layer of defense against road salt and moisture. The round-tube design keeps things looking neat while staying tough enough for daily use in all seasons.
Pair it with a compatible drawbar, pin, and clip (sold separately) to tow small trailers or mount bike racks and cargo carriers that fit a 1-1/4" receiver. Whether you’re heading out for a weekend ride or hauling gear for a quick trip, this hitch gives your vehicle the extra capability you need without overcomplicating things.

Does the job. A small amount of rust started forming pretty much immediately, which was concerning. It’s just something that needs minor maintenance periodically. It’ll be fine, won’t progress anywhere near the point of failure for the decade I drive that car. So I’m not too worried.
Very easy tk work with, accessible for all products, fast on processing the orders.
Received Hitch receiver and bar hitch today 4/5/2024. Looks great & will be putting on vehicle within next 2 days.
Hitch and bike rack was quickly delivered and product is as described. Very easy install on my 2018 Elantra!
box was in pretty good shape the hitch was in good shape not damage but had issue with
u bolt wouldn't fit thru slots in hitch for tow hook had to open up slots to accept u bolt other than that it fit good
This hitch assembly went on super easy. No issues, and I was able to use it right away.
easy installation and fast shipping i got the normal free shipping and the product arrived in 2 days.
Very easy to install. One tongue was bended (maybe during shipping). Thanks to the great customer service, we could easily fix it by bending it back.
Since this has not been installed yet I can't give a answer on the fit but all my measurements are good. This is well built hitch. I would recommend this companies products to a friend.
Fits well on the car and the installation instructions were clear and correct.
Worked with Carmel, she made ordering my hitch and accy's easy and quick.
Speaking of quick she told me that she would place the order and that it should go out within 4 working days. I received my complete order within 3 days. Now that was fast.
If you need a hitch get it from etrailer, one stop shopping!
This hitch is great. The directions were clear and everything bolted right on like it was supposed to. We pulled a trailer with this hitch on our Hyundai from CT to South Carolina and back with no issues. I will probably purchase one for our other care too.
Fastening this hitch onto the tail end of a 2018 Hyundai Elantra frame created a popping noise every time we turned right or left over uneven ground. It wasn't the main reason for trading the vehicle, but it added to it.
The hitch arrived promptly, and upon first inspection, it was quality. The installation was fairly straight forward, and even though this was my first time putting a hitch on a car, it was done in a matter of an hour. I have been using the hitch for a bike rack for the past year, about twice a month and love it! The only thing I did not consider is that I lost quite a bit of ground clearance as the hitch is quite low, so it drags on some steeper driveways. If I had to do it again, I would go with the other hitch that required more cutting, but raises up the hitch several inches.
I learned so much just from buying and installing this product! So far, it is handling my driving well, luckily it clears my driveway, and holds my brand new bike solidly! I'm not worried about the quality, as it is GREAT! The fact that it was specially designed for my exact vehicle relieved a lot of apprehensive feelings about installation - which was a pain for my car, but definitely worth it!! For my car's first hitch, I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Its still going strong :D
The entire process from researching on the website, to ordering, installation help videos, and company follow up was outstanding. I purchased a second hitch for my wife's car with the same results. The entire process, and the product and support is top notch. Thanks.

Both of our hitches one on a Nissan Leaf, the other a Hyundai Elantra are in use and performing excellently. As long as we continue to bike, I would install this hitch from etrailer on any car we purchase.
This one had the extra strength of attaching to the pull ring on the car body which i liked. The die grinder as a needed tool concerned me, thought i was going to have to grind the holes to fit but didn't have to. Getting the exhaust system rubber grommet off the hook instructions was a little over simplified 'put a 5/8 wrench between rubber and hook and pry bar between and SIMPLY pull bar toward wrench' and watch wrench slip off. 1/2 wrench did't work but vice grips did. Mounting brackets are a tight fit on the body extensions, just putting them up and looking at it looked like it was 5/8 to short but pressure flexed it and it slipped on, no grinding. Holes did't want to line up and prying in one hole to help line up another one flattened a thread a little and could not get it going. Original bolts are self threaders was able to slide bracket down and use old bolt to reshape threads, made for a good tight fit.
Nice hitch.

great
This is a really snug fit. You first have to wedge it in place, mount the center bolts first and then try to align the other rear main bolts. The inner rear bolts were somewhat more difficult to get to and align, but with some patience I managed to get it done. It took quite a while, but it ultimately fit well.
Be aware that it does NOT come with a hitch pin, despite the installation video saying so.
This is an excellent product and was really easy to install would recommend the only thing I didn’t buy was the wiring harness to go with trailer and it looks like they have those to and I will purchase one from them
Nice hitch and easy install. etrailer delivered fast and it was packaged well without damage. All instructions and hardware included . There is also a great video install on the site
So far so good, it was a breeze to install. Probably took me about 45 min to complete the install. Holds my bike rack securely! Love the free shipping just took a few days.
Thank you!!
Amazing arrival time after ordering- within 3 days. Video was very helpful for novice installers - my daughter and me. We installed the Curt Class 1 trailer hitch on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE in our driveway without any issues. I have purchased 6 trailer hitches and 3 bike racks from etrailer in the past - always a great experience!
The trailer hitch arrived very quickly during the COVID shut down. There was no damage to the box and the hitch inside was in excellent shape. My garage mechanic installed it for me and he was very pleased with the fit of the hitch under the car and how solid it was. I also ordered a bike rack which arrived the following day. My daughter and I installed it (mostly my daughter). I have used it to transport one bike and two bikes and there is no sway or any sense that I was carrying anything. I am very, very pleased. Thank you. Debra
I installed it on a 2018 elantra. It has worked great and holding strong. I hook up a small trailer to it and load the trail with a 48 in exmark walk behind. It came with correct hardware to mount the unit to the car. Very easy installation for my car.
Item is exactly as described. Installation was easy. Only took me a little over an hour to install.

It sounds as if the noise that was heard was the exhaust rattling against the hitch. The exhaust system at the rear of the car is attached to the vehicle using rubber isolators and easily bendable exhaust hangers. Because of this, the actual position of the exhaust system can vary a bit from vehicle to vehicle. When the hitch is installed, its position will not vary from vehicle to vehicle. The large tolerances in the exhaust system is what can allow the rattle to occur. In other words, its not the fault of the hitch or its design. A bit more space between the hitch and the exhaust will need to be created. This is a common occurrence that is easily remedied by slightly bending the exhaust hanger. For future readers, heres a link to a help article that addresses how to easily fix the rattle.
