When you want to tow or carry extra gear, this Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class II - 1-1/4" gives you a clean and solid way to do it. It’s built as a custom fit for your vehicle, so the mounting holes line up right where they should with no drilling or welding required. The bolt-on installation makes it a straightforward DIY project that can be done right in the driveway with common tools.
This hitch is built for light-duty towing and everyday hauling. With a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 350 lbs, it handles small trailers, campers, or cargo carriers easily. The sturdy square-tube design and fully welded steel construction give it long-term strength for consistent use.
The gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat keeps the hitch looking sharp and helps fight off rust and corrosion. Whether you’re towing through rain or road salt, the finish stands up to everyday wear. The concealed cross tube design also helps keep the receiver looking tidy under the bumper instead of sticking out awkwardly.
Everything needed for install comes in the box—hardware and instructions included—so there’s no guesswork or extra trips to the store. Once mounted, it’s ready for your drawbar, pin, and clip (sold separately). With its precision robotic welds, this Curt receiver offers reliable fitment and long service life for hitch-mounted racks or light trailers alike.

I was a little nervous ordering this hitch and planning to put it on myself. I didn't need to worry. The hitch fit my 2020 Subaru Crosstrek like a glove. The instructions were excellent and installation went without a "hitch". I didn't even have to drop the muffler. The only adders that I would suggest, is to have an extension on your ratchet wrench because there is exhaust piping that prevents you from getting really close to the nuts. In addition, be prepared to have a piece of pipe around for the handle of the torque wrench. The instructions say to tighten the nuts to 110 ft.lbs. That takes a lot of effort to achieve. So, great product, great price, and excellent vendor!
I installed this on my 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. It fits perfectly. Only the square hitch is visible below the bumper from the rear. It installs easily without having to drop the muffler as some models have you do. When putting it in place just start inserting it a little to the vehicles left side. Once in and over the exhaust you can shift it back right and into position. I accomplished widening the feed through holes in the car frame with just a round file. I was nervous about losing a bolt into the frame while getting the hitch into final position so I supported it on 2 additional jack stands plus aluminum shim plates until the last second. I fed the fish wires through the holes in the hitch before moving it into position onto the bolts. This was also a one man operation for me.

Perfect for my bike rack. The hitch does not reduce the ground clearance of the vehicle.
Very happy with this hitch receiver for my Subaru Crosstrek. I have no plans for pulling a trailer, it's for my bike rack, but it seems stout enough for any use I might put it to.
The installation was simple and straightforward and the instructions clear and easy to understand. I don't have a die-grinder but figured I'd be able to make do with a dremel tool. In the end I just used a small chain saw file to enlarge the access hole at one place in order to be able to get the head of bolt and back up plate through. It took five minutes of effort with the file to do it.
The only thing I'd add to the instructions is the idea of taping the spacers in place (either on the frame of the car or on the receiver) to hold them while you maneuver the hitch receiver into position. With one person it's difficult to get the receiver up in position and get the spacers placed and the bolts through the holes and then the nuts started on the bolts. The most worrisome part of the whole install was the fear I'd push the bolts back up into the frame while trying to get the nuts on them - particularly the first two because you only have one hand to do that as the other is holding the receiver up in position.
If you have someone to help position and hold the receiver up and get the nuts started on the bolts it might save you some frustration but I was able to do it all myself in less than an hour.
From order to installation the whole process was as good as one could hope
Thanks

No complaints! Works as it should. And it is unobtrusive when not in use - pretty invisible and not out where you might hit it with knee or shin when accessing the back of the car. It’s five stars.
So easy to pick out and was delivered very quickly.
Solid hitch and it was an easy installa tion.
Straight forward installation - thanks to the video and functions perfectly.
It does exactly what I need it to do. Installation was fairly easy. Very durable. Made in the USA.
Works great for my bike rack and it was easy to install.
Good product and installation was straightforward even working alone. I made some simple supports underneath the hitch on the center and the driver’s side, started alignment and attachment on the passenger side, and found the video installation instructions to be spot-on.
The Curt trailer hitch arrived yesterday and since I installed a similar one 12 years on my new CRV I wanted to have a bonding experience with my brand new Subaru. I watched Etrailer videos and read their very clear directions and I now have my hitch ready to use. At age 76 this will be be my last such experience. Thank you so much Etrailer.
Exactly what I was looking for. Fit my Subaru Crosstrek perfectly and installation was painless following the video. Arrived quick and was a perfect addition for my bike rack.
This is the third hitch I purchased from etrailer. It, like the others was delivered quickly and in good condition. I put the hitch in myself and it took me less than an hour. I didn’t need to drop the exhaust although if you have a pair exhaust hanger pliers you may be able to shave 10 minutes off the install. Of the 4 holes in the frame 2 are larger so I ground them a little and left the smaller holes alone. With the spacers the hitch is 90% hidden except for a bit at the corners. This is a 1 ¼ inch hitch I use for a bike rack and is perfect.
Great price, easy to mount, and works as intended
I've used Curt trailer hitch receivers from etrailer on four autos I have owned. The latest installation is on a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek. The installation could not have been easier. I took my time and it took a little over an hour to install. We use the hitch on a regular basis and it's like it come from the factory. No problems, no issues. I'm very pleased with the product and will continue to use etrailer whenever I'm in need of a receiver hitch. Good job guys!
This was the 2nd Curt hitch I have installed. Thinking back 12 months, I don't recall any major issues. Installation went pretty much without a hitch (pardon the pun!) At 76 years old, I had a bit of trouble with the weight of the hitch and getting the first bolt attached. If you can support the rear end of your vehicle high enough for two people to slide under, that would be a good idea.
Really happy with this product!! I had a Curt Class 2 hitch on my last car for my bike rack, so needed to purchase another hitch as I recently bought a new car. It's sturdy, well made, and I really like that most of the hitch is hidden from view behind the bumper.
The install was straightforward, and I found the installation video posted with the Curt Class 3 hitch on etrailer's website very helpful!! Although the printed instructions that come with the hitch say to use a die grinder (which I don't have) to do the hole enlargement , the video mentions using a "rotary tool" (aka Dremel tool - which I do have, yay!). For a rotary tool to be effective though, the correct bit needs to be used. I purchased a Dremel tungsten carbide cutter bit (#9901) from my local hardware store and it did the trick! It's also very important to wear eye protection and gloves when doing this step as metal filings will be generated from the grinding. Once the holes are enlarged, and you've got the bolts in place, get someone to help lift the hitch in position and fasten the nuts and you're all set! :)
Awesome product! Easy to install. Highly recommend!
Hitch arrived well packed, with all hardware. Powder coating feels smooth and substantial. Install videos showed exactly what I needed to do. The tip to just cut a notch in the hole to fit the backing plate was brilliant. Fishing wires worked perfectly and everything bolted up without a ...hitch.
This hitch was easy to install. Only needed one special tool, a step drill bit. (I got lucky and a friend loaned me his!) The helper parts included to maneuver the bolts into the frame worked great. Only took me about an hour to complete.

After a year, I’m still using about once a week to carry my bike on a Kuat rack I install on the hitch. It still looks great! Finish has not rusted and it looks great! Couldn’t be happier!

You guys did a great job package the hitch, arrived in perfect condition.
I bought a Curt 12184. It fits perfectly on a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Sport. All 4 bolt holes has to enlarged. I put 2 coats of Rustoelium paint on the exposed metal. Before installation.
Installation is fairly easy but took a couple of hours for the whole procedure
Here is a few pix of the final install.
Feel free to use them.

Been using the hitch for a year now. No problems and no rust! It’s a keeper
High quality hitch and fits perfectly. Installation video was clear and easy to follow.
Item as described, straight forward installation - required a bit of filing and a touchup of paint. The forward bots are a bit short and may be difficult to initiate the nut though - maybe consider a longer bolt for these locations?
Hitch looks great and is rock solid. Looking forward to using it to haul our bikes.
Great hitch for the money. Easy installation (according to my mechanic)!

It’s been a year since I installed the hitch and it continues to perform admirably, including a tow of an enclosed trailer of furniture 900 miles. Very pleased with this investment.
