Features to know about

Get More Out of Everyday Hauling: Class III Strength with 3,500 lbs GTW and 350 lbs TW

This Curt hitch gives your vehicle real utility without the need for major upgrades. With a Class III rating, 3,500 lbs maximum gross trailer weight, and 350 lbs maximum tongue weight, it’s built for light to moderate towing and gear carrying. The 2" x 2" receiver is the standard size used for most bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts, so you can quickly switch between towing a small trailer, hauling camping gear, or carrying bikes to the trail.

Install It Yourself Without Welding: Bolt-On Mounting with Included Hardware

You don’t need special tools or a lift to get this hitch in place. The fully welded receiver bolts onto the vehicle’s frame using factory mounting points—no drilling or welding required. It comes with all the mounting hardware and instructions you need for a solid fit. That means you can handle the install in your own driveway and be ready to tow or haul in an afternoon.

Built to Last Through Weather and Road Grime: Powder Coated Steel Construction

The hitch body is made from strong steel that’s precision welded for consistent strength and a clean fit. A gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat keeps rust and corrosion at bay even after years of road salt and wet weather. This coating also makes cleanup easy after long trips or off-road use.

Designed for Everyday Versatility: Works with Hitches, Racks, and Carriers

From towing lightweight campers to adding cargo space with a storage basket, this hitch is made to keep up. The 2" receiver accepts most accessories right out of the box—no adapters or special fittings needed. Whether you’re setting up for a weekend trip or everyday hauling around town, this hitch makes your vehicle more capable for whatever job is next.

Perfect fit! It took me about 30 mins to install by myself. It looks great! Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2011. Fast shippint and great customer service!



by:

Got here in 2 days with free shipping bolted on so easy looks and works great . only took 30 mins and they give you a helpful video. Will definitely order from them again .. Do yourself a favor and order from them



by:

Great quality, looks great, pretty easy installation. Highly recommend! E-Trailer did a nice job providing instructions. Took about an hour on my 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport.



by:

Product was delivered quickly, within three days of order placement. It arrived in good condition, though one end of the hitch had worn through the cardboard box during transit. The hitch was not damaged as a result. Installation was easily completed within 45 minutes without assistance.



by:

Other than the scratch on the front of the hitch from careless shipping UPS, the installation was very easy and without a hitch, (pun intended). I fixed the scratch with glossy spray paint.



by:

Best after market devise I have ever purchased.
At
79 years old I put this on the vehicle by myself, very easy installation with excellent instructions.



by:

Overall very pleased with my purchase. Tow hitch is of very good quality and hardware was nice as well. Instructions and video made it very easy to put on and only took about 30 mins. Only complaint is packing could’ve been slightly better but other then that very happy with it!



by:

This hitch is a perfect fit on my outlander sport. Took about 15 minutes to install including prep. I got this hitch to use with a bike rack. The other reason I got it, is because it looks great on the car. Gives it an aggressive and clean look.



by:

Hitch was Easy to install. YouTube videos helped. One thing that gave me a problem was the nut to screw into weld hole. It took quite a bit of persuading but it worked.

The bike rack was very simple and works great.



by:

It arrived early and was installed today. Perfect for me. Quality materials, easy to work with instructions



by:

Perfect fit for my 2022 Outlander Sport. The install took about 30 mins in my driveway with basic sockets. I watched the video on the install and it bolted on exactly how the video showed. The hitch receiver sits flush with the number for a clean looking install.



by:

This is the second Curt trailer hitch that I've purchased from etrailer. The trailer hitch is great. Solid welds and great coating on the metal. First one lasted several years and and went with my previous car. I couldn't wait to order one for my new car. The best part is that etrailer has clear videos on how to do the install. We had it installed in less than 30 minutes!



by:

I am so happy with my trailer hitch receiver from Curt. It fits perfectly into my 2025 Outlander Sport LE. With the right tools is an easy DIY process to install. 30 to 40 minutes tops. Can't wait to carry my kid's bike to school and mount my cargo carrier for future roadtrips. And as a bonus, this trailer hitch receiver gives a cool aesthetic look to my Outlander Sport LE ^_^



by:

perfect fit and the hitch is well made!



by:

Excellent company! I needed a hitch to tow a trailer very quickly due to an emergency. I was going to get one from uhaul, but they had a huge wait time, and 135$ installation fee. I searched their product, and searching for Curt brought me to etrailer. I did the install alone in my carport, no special lifts, and only a few tools are needed which I had in the garage. I also bought the wiring harness, and ball, total installation time for me was 1 hr. This thing is super solid, welds are perfect, and I have no hesitation to tow a small trailer 2000 miles. It’s going to be great for a cargo rack and bike rack when I’m ready. I paid extra for two day shipping, a bit expensive, but I needed it fast. It was here in 24 hours, and fit perfect and I have nothing to say but, choose etrailer!



by:

Before I start this review let me share that like every personal experience this one start with a sour beginnings but @ the end came to a very satisfactory conclusion. Thanks to a excellent customer service and personalized experience beyond words to make it right. For the item purchase from E trailer corporation ( curt hitch ) what can I say perfect fit for my vehicle fast delivery a breeze to install literally takes less than 30 min. If you wonder that I recommen this product ? The answer is YES! It is a win win situation especially having a support and experience of all expertise of a great customer service behind a leading brand like curt hitches.



by:

Excellent fitment, but installation was made tough by the fact that my wife’s car is 10 years old, so I needed to spend more time making sure the mounting holes and weld nuts on the chassis were CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN!!!

The installation video briefly mentions shooting penetrating oil into the chassis weld nuts. My advice is to also make sure the M10 x 1.25mm hex bolts thread into the weld nuts easily before even lifting the hitch into place. Make liberal use of penetrating oil and a 3/8” steel or brass bore brush to ensure those threads are thoroughly cleaned out and ready—you’ll thank me later.

Once you have the hitch suspended by the four carriage bolts, hand-tighten the nuts and install the hex bolts with cupped washers. THEN tighten everything down. There’s a little slop built into the hitch design, so you’ll want to make sure the hex bolts thread into the chassis without interference from the hitch.

I am glad to hear the installation went smooth and you were able to fit it easily. It looks great on the vehicle! Got any big plans to take the bike out soon?



by:

I was convinced by the many reviews submitted and the great instructions and video on the website to get this hitch. The initial installation was a breeze but my progress ground to a long slog trying to tighten the bolts. Certainly not the hitches fault.... the amount of space to successfully tighten the bolts in the Outlander sport made it extremely difficult. They certainly crammed in a lot of material in the area. Admittedly, I didn't have advanced tools that could let me get into those nooks and cranny's but it went from 15 minutes to about an hour and a half. In the end, I managed to tighten the bolts and OMG this thing looks perfect. Looks like it's stock. The material and paint job are top notch and super high quality, especially for the price. Thank you Etrailer!!!! Great product and most importantly great intruction materials and video!

Thanks Stephanie!

Fit perfectly on 2026 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. However, did have to temporarily remove the charcoal canister. Very limited space to work on this and get it in. Pays if you have tiny fingers/hands/arms and long socket extensions.



by:

This hitch is as stout as the one I got from you for my 2014 Outlander. Got the new Sport last Tuesday and had the new hitch on Saturday evening! Fast delivery and good instructions. I installed it myself without raising the car. Found putting in the 2 smaller bolts first made it easier to attach the 4 1/2” side bolts. Will use to attach a bike rack and cargo carrier. Need to see if the Outlander Sport can haul a small trailer like the Outlander did.

  • Will Curt/Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Trail Edition
    Hi John; at this time (11/25/2024) the note still stands for the Trail Edition. You're welcome to try installing the # C13079 on your 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Trail Edition but we can't confirm it will fit. The only way for us to know is if the manufacturer tests and confirms it, if we get one in to attempt an installation ourselves, or if we get confirmation from a customer who successfully installs it.

  • How to Tell if I Have a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander or Outlander Sport
    Hey John, thanks for reaching out! If you check on the back of your 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander it will say "Sport" under the "Outlander" tagging on the back of the vehicle (see attached photo). For a standard model we have the Class III Curt # 13581, but if you have the Sport model then you'll need the Curt Class III # C13079 instead. Let me know what you plan on using the hitch for and I can make additional recommendations as necessary!

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
    The correct wiring harness for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C37NR. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Outlander's wiring harness, which is located behind your tail lights. It will provide you with a 4-way connector that will control your trailer or accessories lighting functions. I recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it...

    Yes, we do have a trailer hitch for your 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. It is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13079.

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C87WR will fit all trim levels of the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. Since The Outlander Sport and Outlander PHEV are different models this receiver will not work on those vehicles. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13398 is the last hitch we have confirmed to fit the Outlander PHEV and it fits the 2018-2020 model years. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13079 is the last hitch we have confirmed to fit the Outlander Sport. It fits the 2011-2021 model years.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport?
    Yes, I can! To add a hitch to your 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, I recommend the etrailer item # e63AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Outlander with included hardware.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C37NR and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

    In addition to the Curt trailer hitch you have selected for your 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport you will need a wiring harness, ball mount, ball, and a hitch pin with a clip. For a trailer wiring harness I recommend # 118538. It does work with the LED lights on your Outlander Sport so that will not be a problem! I have included a link to a video review of this harness for you. For a ball mount I recommend # C45030. For a 1-7/8 inch ball I recommend # 19260, for a 2 inch ball I recommend...

  • Using a 2 Inch Bike Rack on a 2017 Buick Encore with 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
    Like you said there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches for your 2017 Buick Encore. In fact, there is only one available for your Encore. You could use Curt hitch # C11527 with adapter # HTAD to use a 2 inch bike rack. However, the use of the adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch from 200 pounds down to 100 pounds. The Q Slot PS63138 weighs about 65 pounds meaning you will only have 35 pounds of capacity left over. As long as the combined weight of the bikes is less...

    I did some research and found that all of the trailer hitches we offer for your 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport require the removal of the tow loop. I recommend the Curt trailer Hitch, part # C13079. This is a Class lll hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. One note from Curt is that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps, like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from...

  • Will Curt C13079 Trailer Hitch for Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2012 Interfere w/ Spart Tire
    Great question. Some hitch installs can interfere with the spare tire, but this isn't the case with your vehicle. The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has the spare tire stored in a compartment under the floor of the cargo area, so it will not interfere with the installation of a trailer hitch. I've provided a photo of the underside of the vehicle with the hitch installed. I've linked you to an installation video that'll show you exactly where the hitch sits under the vehicle.

    Yes, the Curt hitch part # C13079 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and would work well as it's a 2 inch hitch with plenty of towing capacity. If you have LED taillights the trailer wiring kit you need is the part # 118538. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900.

  • Recommended Hitch for 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander
    I have a solution for you, but the Curt # C13079 is only a confirmed fit on the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport models. Instead, you'll want to use the Curt # C13163, which is confirmed for the Outlander (non-Sport and non- Plug-in Hybrid vehicles). This is also a Class III hitch like the C13079 and will offer you the same no-drill installation. If you're going to be towing with your new hitch, you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball to round out a complete towing package....

  • Correct Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander
    The correct Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander is part # C13163 or part # C13079 if you have a sport model. The rear bumper fascia and exhaust are different on the sport models which is why there is a different trailer hitch for each. I have attached an install video on a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport for reference. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers are both bolt-on options.

    Basically, the trailer hitches you are looking at fit 2 different vehicles. The CURT Trailer Hitch, # 13581, is designed to fit NON-Sport models of the 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander. If you have a Sport model, you would need CURT Trailer Hitch, # C13079. The vehicles have different mounting points and dimensions so they require different hitches. I have included a link to the installation details for both hitches for you to view. With either hitch, I recommend etrailer Ball Mount kit,...

    I have a solution for you, but the hitch you referenced is for the Outlander Sport models and would not be correct for your 2015 Outlander GT. The Curt hitch part # C13163 would be the correct fitting hitch. Dropping the exhaust is actually not as difficult as it sounds. It basically involves prying the rubber isolators off of the exhaust hangers and then allowing the exhaust to lower a few inches. It's not as scary as it sounds, I promise.

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for 2014 Mitsubishi RVR
    We have just what you're looking for. I recommend using the # C59496 because we've found that the converter boxes are a bit more reliable over time, so it's going to be a harness that can withstand the test of time. This harness will need to be hard wired into your tail lights, since there are no plug and play harnesses available for your 2014 Mitsubishi RVR. If you don't already have a hitch and ball mount kit, I've added some recommendations for those below, as well. Hitch: Curt # C13079 Ball...
