This hitch gives you dependable hauling power for light-duty towing and everyday gear. With a 3,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 350-lb tongue weight rating, it’s strong enough for small trailers, cargo carriers, or bike racks without overdoing it. The 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening keeps things compact while still giving you plenty of versatility for accessories and towing setups.
You don’t need welding or fabrication to get this installed. The fully welded, custom design bolts right up using factory mounting points and the complete hardware kit that comes in the box. Robotic welds keep everything aligned for a perfect fit and long-term strength. Once it’s on, the concealed cross tube keeps the hitch tucked up for a clean look that doesn’t hang low or stick out past the bumper.
The sturdy square-tube steel gets a protective base coat topped with a gloss black powder finish that resists rust and corrosion. Whether it’s road grime, salt, or rain, this layered coating helps the hitch stay in shape season after season. The fully welded construction means fewer joints to worry about loosening over time, so your hitch stays solid every time you tow or load up your gear.
Everything you need to mount it comes right in the box—bolts, washers, and instructions that walk you through each step. It’s designed so most DIYers can handle installation with hand tools in the driveway. Once installed, you’ll have a dependable connection point for your ball mount, bike rack, or cargo platform whenever you need it.

Ratings & Reviews
Overall everything has worked as it should. My only complaint would be that I have pretty much always had some wobble/looseness of the drawbar in the receiver. It is actually audible when driving.
I was in the process of buying, and selling a house when I installed the trailer hitch, so the issue was overlooked due to the complexity of the move. I guess I learned to live with it, and hope it doesn't ever cause a failure.
Like the other reviews say, it's great, so I don't need to add more than that about how I like the product. I will add some information about the issues I ran into installing it. I have a 2009 xB with 77,000 Minnesota miles on it so the bolt holes were rusty. The two bolts that were removed from the tow hook were just fine but the other 4 were rusted enough that I could not get the bolts in. If you have the same situation you just need a 12-1.25 metric tap and a tap wrench for it. A regular wrench will put weird pressure on it and you may end up re-threading it, which will not be good. What I did was to use a 1/2" plumbing wire brush to first scrub out as much rust as possible. Then I squirted some WD-40 in the holes to clean them out some more. Once I wiped them out I applied some cutting oil to the tap, not that you need it but I had it, and carefully re-tapped the hole. The problem I ran into is that the muffler gets in the way of the tap on one hole so I had to push it off the hanger, which can be difficult. The method I ended up using in order to get it off the car side of the hanger was to use three 16p nails as ramps. I slid a nail in three points of a triangle under the rubber hanger so they were over the nub that holds it on. I then sprayed some WD-40 between the rubber hanger and the nails and then pushed on the hanger from the back side, from under the car, and then it popped off. Once all of the welded nuts were cleaned out it was a breeze to install by myself. Just hold it up enough to loosely thread in a couple of bolts and then you can loosely put in the rest. Once they are finger tight you can torque them and you are done. I didn’t bother with a wiring harness since it is only for a bike rack.
Needed a hitch for our 2015 Scion XB. Wiring kit was perfect but a problem with included bolts resolved by using 12MM bolts from a BMW?
We purchased this product to give us added room in our xB for a trip to Disney World. It easily installed and worked wonderfully with the cargo carrier. etrailer was a big help and watched over our order to make sure it would get to us on time. I will look to them for all our future trailer needs.

One year later and everything is still working great!!!
I am very happy with the Hitch. I thought it was great that I could find the right fit for my car very easy and you had the wiring and any other accessories needed to do the job. Also great videos to explain installation. I put it on my Scion xB as easy as the video.

Love It!
Just finished installing the hitch receiver wiring harness on my 2012 Scion xb. The hitch receiver fit just like it was supposed to, and the wiring harness went in without incident. The directions in the video are a lot more clear than the written ones that came with the wiring harness. took about 2 hours total.

Actually, I have only used it once since I installed it. I have no reason to expect there would be any problems next time I use it..
This hitch was easy to install, still looks AWESOME on my xB with only the receiver visible, and has been exactly what I hoped for to carry my Kuat Sherpa bike rack. And etrailer is the place I'll get any other hitches I'll need going forward. Thanks!

Hitch has carried two bikes all over the country, 17 states to be exact. Best looking option out there for the xB. And etrailer folks are the best. Recently got a similar style hitch for another vehicle I own and etrailer came thru flying colors again.
Product arrived as promised. I liked the fact that I could keep track of where it was in the shipping process and approximately when it would be delivered. Installed it the same day it arrived with the assistance of the excellent videos of installation procedures for both the hitch and wiring. It helps to have a torque wrench and some basic wiring tools (wire end stripper and a crimping tool).
The only problem is that the hole on the retaining pin for the draw bar does NOT fit as the hole in the pin was drilled in the wrong place.

In my review I said The only problem is that the hole on the retaining pin for the draw bar does fit as the hole in the pin was drilled in the wrong place. I inadvertently did not the word not. The pin does NOT fit in the pin because the hole was drilled at the wrong angle. I had to use another pin with the hole drilled at the proper angle.
Very happy with Product. Would buy again. Delivered on promised date. Fit perfectly.

Very happy with our trailer. It has worked out perfect for us. Would definitely buy again and tell others..
Easy installation.. Didn't fall on my head. Awesome product.. ..
Arrived quick, couple of tears on box but did not affect product. All hardware and and clear instructions were included. Fit perfect.
The product is great! It arrived quickly and was installed in 10 mins! We love it! We would order from etrailer again.
Fits my Scion to a tee!! Thanks!
Perfect fit, super easy bolt on application. This is exactly as advertised and will reccomend etrailer.com in the future
Ordering from website was easy. Delivery was quick. Hardest part was finding a good installer. Next purchase will be a bike rack.
Great product
Quick shipping
Easy to install
It fit like a glove! Lined right up and came with the hardware need to install it. Fit and finish was great as well. I've had good luck with Curt products in the past and they didn't disappoint this time either and etrailer had a good price on it and good information about installation which is why I keep coming back.
Awesome trailer hitch, installed in minutes. Hides very nicely under bumper! Etrailer.com was great!!!
I installed this a year ago. I use it for my boat and bike rack. Works perfect, never any issues. Super easy install. If you can fit under your car and know how to screw in a light bulb, you can attached this with ease.
I have a 2009 Scion XB with TRD exhaust. I didn't have any clearance issues around the muffler. The hitch is a high quality part. Without the bike rack in the receiver the hitch is almost invisible.
I'm very happy with this Curt hitch as well as the service from the guys at etrailer. Next project will be to install the lighting/wiring kit also sold by etrailer.
I bought a Curt trailer hitch from etrailer about 7 years ago. I just bought another one from them. When I need a new one, I'll order it from etrailer also. Excellent packaging BTW. No plastic or foam.

I frequently tow a utility trailer. The hitch is rock solid.
I have purchased from etrailer several times and I have been happy with my purchase every time! Price, support and communication are all excellent with my purchases. I won’t buy from anyone else.
Perfect fit. With two people installation took about 20 minutes. Would recommend. I installed it on a 2010 Scion xB.
Info for this part was:
At etrailer we provide the best information available about the products we sell. We take the quality of our information seriously so that you can get the right part the first time.
