This Curt trailer hitch opens up light-duty towing and hauling options with a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening. Rated for 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, it’s ideal for small trailers, cargo carriers, or two-bike racks. The Class I design gives you the strength and stability you need for everyday use without adding bulk or weight to your vehicle.
You don’t need specialized tools or a lift to install this hitch. The bolt-on design uses factory mounting points, so there’s no welding required. Every hitch comes with a complete hardware kit and detailed installation instructions, making it manageable even if you’re working in your driveway. The precision robotic welding ensures the hitch lines up correctly for a clean, secure fit.
The hitch is made from fully welded steel for durability on the road. A gloss black powder coat is layered over a protective base coat to resist rust and corrosion from rain or road salt. That glossy finish keeps it looking sharp while protecting the welds and tubing underneath through years of towing or carrying gear.
If you care about how your setup looks from behind, the round-tube design gives this hitch a finished appearance instead of an industrial one. The visible cross tube sits neatly under the bumper for a balanced look that blends in instead of standing out. It’s a solid, compact setup that adds function without cluttering up the rear of your vehicle.

Box came busted and slightly opened at one end but hitch was perfectly covered. Easy install and super easy to follow and detailed instructions. Really glad Etrailer provided the wire to fish the bolt thru.
I have needed a trailer hitch on my Honda Accord for years but never did because of the cost. When I found the hitch from trailer with a great sale I ordered immediately. The hitch from Curt is an exact match for my car and the quality is remarkable. I or see ordered on Monday and received it Wednesday. The packing for the hitch was well done with no damage. My installer said how easy it went on.
I am really impressed with the value and quality the retailer provides.
Received my hitch in the mail yesterday. Installed in about one hour by myself in my driveway. Directions were easy to understand and informative. I also referred to the video for my car on your website for additional help. The hitch works excellent with my bike rack. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase! The hitch is extremely sturdy and well built. I would highly recommend this hitch to anyone in search of a good quality item.
Great little hitch! Easy to install after watching installation video. No surprises which makes for a happy customer. Now I can easily go mountain biking and even pull a small trailer.
Works great! We use it for our bike rack to haul around mtn bikes. Very discreet! I installed it myself on my wife’s Honda Accord.
I was able to install this in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Installation video and heat shield cutting instructions were on point. The only challenging part was undoing and putting back the muffler hockey puck holders. Make sure to wd-40 before you even attempt to pull those rubber things off. Anyways, I was determined and all turned out very good. In lew of raising the car, I was able to park it on an inclined driveway and had plenty of room to work with. I just used a sturdy box to hold up the muffler, no muffler strap necessary. Plus, when the car is lower to the ground, it helped lifting the thing a tad bit easier, being that I was solo on a this project. This thing had some heft to it. Just make sure you have all the tools in the instructions readily available. Don’t forget a sharpie so you can trace out the cutting line on the heat shield. Another good thing I found out is that you can occasionally check the tightness on the nuts cause they’re exposed convenient for easy future access. I foresee many years of confident service from this bad boy.
I have a 2013 Honda Accord. I have a small 12' aluminum fishing boat with a trailer. We also have a Tacoma. When I do not have the Tacoma I can't fish, take the kids on the boat, and I can't go to the lumber yard or transfer station because I didnt have a hitch on the Accord. I did some research and saw etrailer. The website was easy to navigate, I was able to choose the right hitch for my car without guessing, and the wire harness was easy to pick out as well. I was told it would be a week for shipping, I got it in 3 days. The installation was pretty easy, take your time with fish wire, but it can be done. The light set up was all plug and play, nice and neat. I hooked up boat trailer, tested lights, and zipped around the neighborhood. Very excited to be able to pull small stuff with the Honda. The price was right, the shipping was right, the product fit like it said, and I am a happy customer!
Faster in everyway than expected!
Clutch!!!! Ordered from this website twice and delivery was perfect, it’s understandable when there is delays due to COVID but honestly, etrailer.com has always came through when I needed. Just to put this particular transaction into prospective, I arrived at [towing store] (bless their hearts) for my scheduled appointment and found that they didn’t have any hitches for my vehicle in stock but had already placed some on back order. Not sure if it was etrailer or one of your competitors but mine and theirs came in at the same day. Just in time for my planned trip. I had a small window to decide how I was going to move my fishing equipment for my move/fishing vacation because that’s just how we operate in the military sometimes. I can’t believe I drove 897 miles using this hitch assembled with a 5x8 trailer with approximately 500+lbs of fishing equipment with my 2017 Honda Accord sedan. It was flawless. I would imagine it’s not recommended to drive over a certain speed limit but let’s just say I wouldn’t recommend it either..again flawless, it was raining too by the way. Overall I am satisfied with my first trip and will be looking forward to utilizing this for my kayak. It would be excellent to be able to pull up at the boat ramp in a small Honda Accord and launch close to the boat ramp fully rigged for a in/out scenario. That is my goal.
Great product - highly recommended. I purchased this one for a 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. The Touring/Hybrid comes with an additional cover that hides the driver side frame where the hitch mounts. I removed the plastic cover, took some basic measurements, and cut it to allow access for the hitch to be bolted in. I then reinstalled the plastic cover before installing the hitch. From there, just follow the standard instructions. I had to make the modification to the exhaust heat shield as depicted in the included instructions. Everything else was straight-forward. I've installed and used this same hitch on another Accord, so I know it is bullet-proof.
Easy install. Thanks for the video. I watched the video and read the directions, could not have been better. Right down to cutting the heat shield, just use the dimensions shown and you will be good. Took about 45 minutes to install, taking my time, and that includes jacking the rear and letting it down. Thanks etrailer again for another hitch and the support that comes with it. Saved $280 doing myself, including the harness, over what xhaul. wanted.
First I would like to say that etrailer.com was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I was notified of the progress of my order through several emails and was never left wondering when my order would arrive.
The Curt hitch is well made and intelligently packaged to prevent damage. I watched the installation video on the etrailer.com website before I ordered so I knew what to expect. The installation was child's play; it took less than an hour.
The hitch is being used the mount a 3 bike rack. The total weight of the rack and bikes is about 100 pounds. The hitch is rock solid and has no trouble at all supporting this load.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase and installation.
Just installed this on my Accord. Took about an hour and a half. No issues with the hitch. It fit perfectly and the hitch is solid and looks great!
Installed on a 2015 Accord Sport with Manual transmission to tow a trailer that holds my street motorcycle. I use it to tow my trailer for hundreds of miles to get my motorcycle to destinations with lots of curvy roads. The hitch is doing a wonderful job and this is my second one from Etrailer.com therefore I would highly recommend both the hitch and Etrailer.com.
P.S. Picture is of my first hitch also on a Honda Accord M/T.
Although the construction of the hitch is very good there is a problem with the way its constructed with respect to the welding of the hitch to the round bar to the flat mounting flanges. I don''t know if a fixture is used in the process and if there, is then it needs to be evaluated. After install it I used a hitch with an 8" length and found the bar was not level to the car. It pointed in a downward direction. I had to shim the back of the mounting flange to achieve some degree of levelness where the hitch goes. Before I did that I did check with a level to see if the car mounting surface was level to the floor and it was. After verifying that, I started with a machinist wedge and inserted it until I got a level reading. It turned out I had to shim both side 1/4". I bought several hitches from eTrailer in the past but they were made of square tubing and I had no problems. They still have the best around and will continue to buy from them.
The hitch was shipped with care and received in excellent condition. The online installation instructions were simple and easy to understand. The hitch was well made.
Thank You.

The hitch has worked as expected. After 1 year there is no rust on any of the painted surfaces. I am very happy with it. Thank You.
I purchased the hitch for my hitch mounted bicycle rack. I was glad the hitch mounted so easily and without any problems. The directions and the video really made everything easy.

A year later the hitch works great! No issues or concerns
The Hitch was easy to install with the exception of lowering the exhaust, which was hard for me to do, and the instructions of how to do it were not that clear. The Hitch also works as it is supposed to, however I am not sure if the stabilization strap helps, because my rack seems to sway more with the strap. I am also worried the strap could damage my trunk lid, but I guess it shouldn't.

Im looking to buy the same car you have and need to carry two bikes. Do you have a lot of sway when bikes are mounted?

I do carry 2 bikes sometimes and the only sway is due to my rack not being the sturdiest when it is pulled tight with the strap. but the sway is minimal, maybe 1/2-1 inch
The hitch arrived on the third day, much faster than expected. Installation on my 2016 Honda Accord was simple with the clear instructions and an online video. The hardest part of the installation was borrowing a torque wrench. Otherwise, it was a breeze.

Superior. I love it, its well hidden and works great. I just wish my vehicle had more ground clearance, but thats not the hitches issue.
The hitch was in great condition when it arrived.
I install Hitch on my new 2017 Honda Accord.
I had no problems installing it, I watched your video, read the instruction. I was about 2.5 hours from beginning to finish using a floor jack and two jack stands. I had no assistance installing the hitch. I took a couple of breaks, but at 66 years young it was easy.
This was my second car I have installed a etrailer hitch on. Six years ago I put a etrailer hitch on a 2010 VW Jetta. The instruction have been excellent each time.

Great, I have used it at least once a month with my Cargo carrier, finish still looks like new.
I bought the product from amazon, packaged poorly and incomplete hardware, so returned it and ordered from etrailer, very well packaged, night and day difference, great experience, their tutorial video is also great
This trailers works perfectly and the fit and finish is phenomenal! Don't look elsewhere for a vehicle like this. For installation... as your running through carriage wires, tape one end right as you get the wire through if you can't hook it during install (saved me a ton of time). The video was helpful as well.
Was very easy to install. My wife hauls her bike around everywhere on it and it’s just been great! Definitely would recommend!

Thank you for the great review! We're so glad to hear the rack was easy to install and that your wife has been getting so much use out of it. It's always great to know it's making it easy to bring the bike along wherever the adventure leads. Thanks for the recommendation, and happy riding!
I picked this up to hold a bike rack on my 2016 Honda Accord Sport Sedan. I’m not mechanically inclined at all but managed to get it installed over a three hour period after watching the instructional videos. I didn’t have a hoist so I had to use a floor jack and jack stands. I also didn’t have a helper so I used the floor jack to hold the receiver hitch in place while I tightened the hardware. The only tool I had to buy was the metal shears to trim the exhaust plates (the Sport version of the Honda Accord has two mufflers and heat shields, which is a considerable more amount of work. The “fish wires” didn’t want to fit in the holes in my frame rails… it was due to corrosion on the inside of the rails and pushing the bolt threads in and out of the holes several times cleared that up so the fish wires would pass easily.
The only thing that was disappointing is that the exhaust shield trimming instructions were poor, and the graphic was such poor resolution that I had no idea what I was looking at and how to trim. It took a couple on/off cycles of the shields to get them trimmed properly. Besides that, I think the hitch and included hardware and mounting accessories were all of exceptional quality. Despite my frustrations with the exhaust shield trimming instructions, and the extra time my installation took,I can say that if I got this hitch installed and am very happy with the final result, then just about anybody should be able to install it.
Etrailer shipped the hitch very quickly and their price was fair. Installing it myself saved a considerable amount of money as well. Overall tho was a very pleasant shopping/installation process.
Hitch fit perfectly. The assembly video was very well done and extremely helpful. Project only took about 45 minutes to complete. The hitch looks great and functions perfectly for my bike carrier

Install looks great Jared! 45 minutes too, that pit stop speed! What kind of bike rack do you have, and where do you mainly go riding. We have the Katy Trail here in Missouri. I am trying to get a trip together for mid October where I will ride the whole 240 miles. Planning on 6 days 5 nights of camping, and no more than 50 miles a day.... I can do this!
