Perfect for light-duty towing, this Curt Class I trailer hitch receiver gives you a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" opening rated for up to 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. That’s plenty for a small utility trailer, lightweight camper, or boat. It’s built strong with precision, robotic welding that maximizes strength and ensures a solid fit.
The 1-1/4" receiver size is just right for compact accessories like bike racks and cargo platforms. When you’re loading up bikes or gear, Class I compatibility keeps things simple and secure. For non-trailer loads, use the recommended stabilizing strap to minimize sway and make sure your setup stays steady on the road.
This hitch is designed for easy DIY installation using existing mounting points—no welding required. It comes complete with a hardware kit and installation instructions so you can bolt it on in your own driveway using basic tools. The fit is custom-tailored, so alignment lines up cleanly without guesswork or modifications.
The fully welded steel construction is protected by a gloss black powder coat finish layered over a base coat for superior rust resistance. That means the hitch stays looking good and resists corrosion from rain, salt, and debris over time. It’s a durable upgrade that adds function without changing your vehicle’s clean look under the bumper.

fit just right
Service was very fast and courteous and informative
Product arrived on date promised, well packed and looking like pics, will use it to attach a bicycle rack, thanks for the great costumer service.
Will use the receiver for a bicycle rack, like the low profile.
I had it installed by a mechanic. It works well to haul my boat around and.my bicycle rack,.thanks!
Hitch fit my 2004 bmw 530i great. See the Etrailer how to video, it explains the installations very well.
The product is thick heavy and sturdy. Seems like it will work perfectly for my vehicle. Have not installed it yet. Four stars for quick shipping and what seems to be a top notch product.
Great service! Product came promptly and mechanic installed onto my Bmw 535xi.
I would recommend etrailer based on their product knowledge and friendly staff.
Hitch Works as advertised, 1 year on, pleased I had installed.
I ordered this trailer hitch and the "sport wing" bike rack. Delivery was very fast. I installed the hitch with no problems? We have full suspension bikes and this bike rack should work well.
I'm happy to leave very positive feedback on my interaction with eTrailer.
It has been absolutely fantastic, and special recognition to your customer
service representative, Heidi (?), who helped with the missing parts on an
emergency basis. Very, very thankful that I had gone through this purchase
with you and will definitely be coming back in the future.
Thank you again for helping me out when I was in a bind. I do appreciate it
very very much.
Things to consider:
The hitch was on sale, so very good price. Cheapest in North America.
Well build and strong, but the BMW metal feels too weak, so don't expect to tow a camper. Use for bike rack or haul trailer only.
I followed the instructions to mount and that was a big mistake. I should have used my brain instead. I should have marked the two bumper holes, drill and mount the hitch tight and after that mark the 2 spare tire holes, drill and tighten the back.
2009 bmw 528i. you almost can't see the trailer hitch below the bumper. I've NEVER seen a Beemer pulling a trailer.............
Electrical hookup was just as the instructions said. BMW has the battery in the right side of the trunk so power hookup was easy.
I put the pig-tail down in the spare tire well when not in use.
Feel free to use whatever pics you see fit.
Great product and install videos.
It got the job done. I’d invest the extra time/money in good sealant that’ll be trouble free for years. I towed a jet ski all over Texas behind my bmw 535i. Dust center hitch covers and rinses after use go a long way.

I was referred to etrailer by a friend, I Recieved everything on time as ordered. Wiring harness even came with an extra voltage tester! The wiring harness install had the highest difficulty level out of the install but took less then an hour. More then plenty wire was delivered in the package. I really like the wire splice connectors supplied in the kit made everything so easy!!! The curt hitch install was super easy and with the aid of a jack to hold it in place, was completed in an hour. Total installation was 3 hours. Can't wait to tow my motorcycle!!!
recommend you change the instructions to state that you must have a right angle drill. I used it to drill a pilot hole and then drilled the larger hole from inside the spare tire compartment. I do not think you could do this with a regular drill. The space is too tight.

Thanks for adding the pics. So other than right angle drill, it was pretty easy? Four holes, and mount. Did you need to remove bumper or touch exhaust? Thanks for your reply.
