Features to know about

Carry More Gear Without Stress: Class I Hitch with 1-1/4" Receiver

This hitch adds everyday hauling capability without taking over the back of your vehicle. With a 2,000-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 200-lb maximum tongue weight, it’s ideal for light-duty towing or carrying accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. The sturdy, square-tube design gives solid support for smaller loads, helping you make the most of limited cargo space.

Simplify the Install: Bolt-On Design, No Welding Needed

You don’t need a lift or special tools to get this hitch mounted. It bolts directly to existing points using the included hardware kit, so there’s no drilling or welding required. The precision, robotic welding ensures everything lines up right for a clean fit and quick setup.

Keep It Looking Good Over Time: Gloss Black Powder Coat Finish

Built from fully welded steel, this hitch is protected with a gloss black powder coat over a base layer that resists rust and corrosion. The durable finish helps it stand up to weather and road grime so it keeps its clean look through years of use.

Ready for Everyday Use: Custom Fit and Complete Kit

Everything you need to get started comes in the box — mounting hardware and installation instructions included. Once installed, the 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver is ready for compatible ball mounts, racks, or other Class I accessories so you can tow or carry what you need without hassle.

Have enjoyed using your products and as soon as the snow melts here will probably be picking up some more!



by:

Very please with the product which was delivered on time. Would recommend this product to others.



by:

Perfect fit, no modifications needed. A wesome.



by:

Easy install, works great.



by:

Fit my car and easy to install and good instructions included well made would buy again.



by:

the hitch was fairly easy to attach and the service from etrailer was excellent



by:

This is the second hitch I have bought from etrailer.com. Both times they arrived ahead of schedule and fit perfectly. The price is better than any other place locally or on line.



by:

Receiver hitch was perfect. Fit great on my 2004 scion xa. Very easy to install, although that exhaust hanger is a pain to remove.



by:

The product that I purchased from etrailer was amazing worked perfect, the sales person Olivia was extremely helpful and caring.



by:

Service was top notch. Items delivered in a timely manner, though I did have an issue with a part that was received all banged up. After speaking with etrailer rep, she apologized and immediately sent out a replacement. They get 10 stars in my book



by:

The hitch fit perfectly. Excellent item.



by:

The hitch is great; easy to install, and it fit perfectly.

The light kit was not so good. The connections are not reliable, and it is difficult to make the lights work when I want to use the trailer.



by:

This is the easiest hitch install I've done. The hardest part was getting the tiedown hooks removed (2002 with 190k New York miles on it), but a good impact made it happen. Gave me a chance to try out my Lisle 38350 exhaust hanger pliers which made moving the exhaust out of the way a 10 second deal (if you install hitches for a living, get those).

The hitch itself has held up fine with about a thousand miles of pulling our small camp trailer.



by:

trailer hitch should have better clearance for the receiver as the hitch rubs' the bottom of the bumper on my model

That is not typical with this model unless you have had body work done. Nonetheless, cutting a little fascia will not do any harm if you do not want the receiver touching the bumper.



by:

The towing hitch arrived promptly and was of very good quality. Everything was included, bolts, washers, and instructions. It is true that it should not take more than 30 minutes to install. However, be aware that you will have to drop the exhaust down to install the hitch. We were not able to get this loose ourselves so had to take to a mechanic to have it installed. Apparently using some lubrication will make it easier to release the fastener for the exhaust system (if you attempt this step on your own). The product and service were great, though.

I am still very happy with my hitch. I only use it as a receiver for my bike rack, but it has worked out great. Definitely would recommend.



by:

Easy installation thanks to the video online. Great company to order from as well. Great communication, delivered in perfect condition. Will recommend in the future!



by:

So happy with my hitch! Extremely fast shipping and easy installation video to follow! Packaging was very ingenious and easy to maneuver!!



by:

I own a 2004 Scion XA and this hitch mounted with no problems. It slid right between the bumper and muffler without having to do anything except loosen the bumper a bit. I have pulled a trailer full of firewood up snowy hills with this hitch with zero issues. etrailer sent directly to my house in Alaska, which most online companies tend not to do. This is a high-quality product and I would buy again.



by:

The trailer hitch works great! I just towed a trailer 2,909 miles with it and had no problems.

  • Trailer Hitch and Accessories Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2004 Scion xA
    There are a few basic items you will need to tow a trailer. First, you will need a trailer hitch. For a 2004 Scion xA I checked with Curt and they do list trailer hitch # C11488 as a fit. Next, you will need a ball mount, hitch pin, and clip. The recommended ball mount is # C45521. For a pin and clip use # PC2. For a ball it will depend on what the rental trailer coupler requires. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. For trailer wiring use # C56175. I have...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for Transporting Bikes on 2006 Scion xA
    The Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11488 is the only available trailer hitch that is confirmed to fit your 2006 Scion xA. This is a very nice Class I hitch that will provide you with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and a 200 pound tongue weight capacity. Curt does require that stabilizing straps like # 18050 be used on non-trailer loads such as a bike rack. This is a requirement from Curt on their Class I and Class II (and some Class III) trailer hitch receivers. It is not an indication...

  • Available Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Scion xA
    In my research on the Scion xA, Toyota only shows manufacturing this vehicle from 2004 to 2006 model years. They did not make a 2007 year model Scion xA. So, we must assume that your vehicle is a 2006 year model xA. We do carry a Curt Trailer Class I Hitch, # C11488, that is confirmed to fit the 2006 Scion xA. This hitch is designed to custom-fit the 2006 xA and requires no drilling for installation. The hitch has an 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver opening. I have included an installation video...

  • Fit of Curt Class I Hitch # C11488 on 2004 Scion xA
    We have the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11488 listed as a fit for the 2004 Scion xA. I've confirmed this with the Curt website, which shows the hitch as a fit for the 2004 xA in their application guide. Just be sure, I called my Curt representative, who confirmed the fit for me. If you plan on doing some light duty towing once the hitch is installed, you might need the following accessories: • Trailer wiring harness, part # C59496 • Ball mount, part # C45521 • 1-7/8 inch trailer ball,...

  • Carrying Bikes on a 2003 Scion xA
    The Curt trailer hitch receiver, part # C11488, is confirmed to fit your 2003 Scion xA and is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch opening. This means you will need hitch adapter that expands to 2 inches in order to use your current bike rack. You need to know first that using an adapter does decrease your hitch's tongue weight capacity by 50 percent. From my research your Scion isn't rated for towing at all so there really isn't a defined tongue weight. Check your owner's manual to see...
