This Curt trailer hitch receiver is built for light-duty towing and everyday versatility. With a Class II rating, it’s capable of 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight, making it ideal for small trailers, lightweight campers, or a couple of bikes on a rack. The 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver gives you compatibility with popular accessories like cargo carriers and Class II ball mounts, so you can set up your vehicle the way you want for hauling gear or extra storage.
No welding or fabrication is needed to get this hitch mounted. The custom-fit design aligns precisely with existing factory holes for a straight bolt-on install using the included hardware kit. Because it’s built specifically for the vehicle’s frame points, you get a solid connection and consistent alignment without trimming or modification. That means it’s practical to tackle in a driveway with basic tools and a good step-by-step guide.
The hitch uses precision robotic welding throughout its square-tube frame for consistent strength and durability. A gloss black powder coat is applied over a protective base coat to shield against rust and corrosion from road spray or winter salt. This double finish keeps the steel construction looking sharp while holding up under years of towing, bike hauling, or cargo carrying.
Whether it’s pulling a small utility trailer or adding a rear cargo tray for extra space, this receiver handles those daily tasks with confidence. The sturdy design keeps loads stable, and the Class II rating gives you plenty of capability for light to moderate duty use without overbuilding what you don’t need. It’s a straightforward way to turn your vehicle into a more capable hauler without sacrificing clean lines or practicality.

Delivered on time. Easy to install using instructions. Great look, low profile. Overall great product! Thanks etrailer.
Fit like a glove
Easy install, fast shipping and solid experience with this hitch!
Great hitch. Still solid and looks like new. Thanks for the installation advice you provided during the install… you know your stuff!
The product itself is well made, however I ran into several obstacles when installing on my 16 RDX. Be prepared to clean up bolt threads in the body of the vehicle. In my case a 12x1.25 tap. Also the rear plastic bumper had to be cut for proper installation. It could be mounted without cutting but puts a bad bulge in the bumper because it hits. The bumper modification made the install longer than expected.
Product and instructions were great. For me, cleaning using a wire brush wasn’t enough so I had to use a M12x1.25 tap to get the hole cleared out.
Installation instructions were well explained for my RDX. I did installation myself in remarkably short time. Hitch is well built with apparent eye to quality.
Product fit perfect. Video is very helpful and needs to be followed. Suggestion is to try the bolts that fit in the frame before trying to attach the hitch. Took me only 1hour to install.
just received my order, Everything looks very good quality. I also purchased the wiring connector. It took about 60 seconds to locate the connection on the car, plugged in, attached with some wire ties that were included, routed the trailer end into the spare tire area, and DONE! so easy. Even the fuses were included, I did not have to go out and buy anything else. I am very impressed with E-trailer.
They helped me find the right hitch for my Acura. I am using it with a bike rack, works great. Installed in about 30 minutes.
The hitch came on the day as planned. Mounting the hitch was easy, and looks great, my wife is very happy the way it looks on her car. Now she's ready to hook up the bike rack, and head for the park.
Hitch was received in several days. Instructions for installation were easy to follow. Online installation video was also helpful. Product quality was excellent. I would purchase from etrailer again.
Easy to install. I glanced at the instructions. Maybe I should have looked closer. There are four bolts , two metric and two standard threads. They looked the same and I got them mixed up for a minute. I use this hitch for a bike rack, fastest , best way to carry bikes.
We got the hitch for our new car to carry our bike rack. Delivery was quick and installation was simple.
I’m a single mother so I was looking for something cheap but good quality and here I found it! I do not like to order anything off line, but I was very pleased with the fast delivery and the product. It was exactly what I was looking for and needed. I needed a tow hitch for my bicycle rack. It only took 45 minutes to put on and off we went. Now we can start every morning off with a hitch! ;) Thanks Etrailers
Hitch arrived in great condition, very fast shipping, install was very easy, simply bolt on with 2 existing threaded holes and 2 handle nuts, no messing with exhaust, heat shields or trimming body panels.
This will used for a bike rack only, no actual towing. My only issue is due to the bike rack I use, a 1UP USA 2 bike tray rack. Because the receiver part is recessed under the bumper a bit you have to be careful to not slide the rack in too far into the receiver otherwise the bike closest to the car will touch the car body. I need to come up with a solution so this does not happen.
Thumbs up, thank you.
Love etrailer.com and the Curt hitches. This is my second installation of a Curt hitch, first on a VW Golf, and now this one on a Acura RDX. Their instructions are always clear and concise. This install was was just as straightforward as the first. I really appreciate other customers comments about hitch installations; particularly the one about supporting the hitch on a jack to position it during a one person installation. As a 76 year old I knew it was going to be an issue to try to hold it in position and get that first bolt in. With the help of the jack, my biggest issues were squirming around underneath the auto and trying to get the torque settings high enough.
I was looking for a hitch for my Wife's RDX and saw one on another RDX with a Curt hitch on it. Only needed an 1 1/4" but wanted it as invisible as possible. This hitch tucks up as close to the bottom as possible. With the lower black trim on the vehicle, it's barely seen. Installation was very easy and fit perfectly. Dealer OEM hitch was ridiculously overpriced ($300+) and stuck out more. This was a fraction and shipped free. Also ordered a Curt bike rack from etrailer. Both are wonderful products.
What a nice hitch...just as advertised. I installed this by myself in 30 minutes. The instructions were CLEAR, UNDERSTANDABLE, AND EASY TO FOLLOW and most importantly THE HITCH FIT THE VEHICLE! My skill level and tool availability is a 4-5 on a 0-5 scale. A 3 could do this easily, maybe even a 2. This would have been a 12 minute job if my neighbor had been available. I used a floor jack to hold the hitch in place while bolting on.The installed hitch looks great. I'll use it mostly to tow my 8x4 yard trailer around. I also purchased the RDX wiring harness. Nice product with EASY TO FOLLOW instructions. That Was Easy! Any questions? Thanks. PS: This was on my RDX 9 days after ordering..
The hitch fit like a glove. Maybe took me 20minutes to install. I did put it on a new RDX so there was no clean up involved.
I'm 68 with shoulder problems even with that the installation was remarkably easy.
4 hands, 20 minutes....done. very easy install will be used for a bike rack.

...still doing a great job of carring my bike rack...
Your video explains the install perfectly.
Did have a problem with the install.
The suv mounting holes was not taped
Had to run out and buy the tap
Everything worked out great
Thank you etrailer
Awesome product and service! Your informative website allowed me to order the correct hitch for my Acura. The installation was easy and took less than 15 minutes. I will definitely order my next hitch from etrailer!
Went on easy enough. Seems solid.
