This Curt trailer hitch receiver gives you a 2" x 2" opening and is rated for 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. It’s built for light towing or carrying gear like bike racks, cargo trays, and small trailers. The Class III rating means you can use the same size accessories found on most heavier setups without overbuilding for what you actually tow.
The hitch is made from fully welded steel and finished with a gloss black powder coat over a protective base layer. That combination keeps rust away longer and stands up to road grime and weather. The precision, robotic welds make the hitch solid and consistent from one to the next, so it holds up under regular use for towing or hauling.
You don’t need to weld or drill to get this hitch in place. It bolts straight to the vehicle frame using factory holes, with all the mounting hardware and instructions included. The setup works for driveway installs with basic hand tools—just line it up, bolt it down, and you’re ready to hook up your trailer or accessory.
The 2" receiver tube gives you access to the widest range of towing gear out there—everything from standard ball mounts and hitch balls to cargo carriers and bike racks. Pair it with a wiring harness or ball mount kit when you’re ready to tow, or slide in a rack when you just need extra storage. It’s a single hitch that covers most setups without needing adapters or extra parts.

Bolted right onto our Honda 2013 CRV AWD:) Was easy to install, took me about an hour. etrailer video was excellent! I also wired the CRV for the trailer hitch. Works great! Have towed trailers locally and on the freeway with reliable performance:) Thank You!
Hitch went on as billed. I did the flap technique as mentioned by other reviews for the black plastic underneath instead of cutting out the entire piece for the driver's side of the hitch (just my preference). Fit perfectly. Struggled a bit getting the exhaust hanger off but with some tugging and wiggling and liquid soap spray, it came loose. Here are some pics of the finished result. One note for our etrailer folks is that you might want to use some bubble wrap to cover each end of the trailer hitch that attaches to the car frame as one end had broken through the box (see pic).
Installed Hitch On 6/23/20, on a 2014 Honda CR V, I modified the installation instructions,
I cut the access hole and backing, with the under side panel in place, I'm a 78 year old DIYer,
worked the installation alone, when cutting the hole with a utility knife, I left the front
uncut, bent the plastic panel down and taped out of the way, after the hitch was installed I put the cut piece of panel back in place, by trimming another 1/4" off the side with the hitch mount, fit good, and gorilla taped taped the back edge to hold in place.
My husband and I installed this hitch on my 2012 CRV together. He just turned 71 and I am 65. It probably took 90 minutes as we aren't as strong as we used to be. Lol looking forward to getting out there and riding my bike on the trails around Pocatello, Idaho.
Nice, well built unit! Unfortunately, the U bolt used to secure the unit to the tow hook was too small for the 1/2” thick hook. It required filing about 1/16” off each inside edge of the u bolt.
Purchased 2 inch Curt hitch primarily to mount bike rack. Used all summer, hauling road and mountain bikes without problems. The hitch was easy to install fitting my CRV bolt pattern perfectly. Saves my back and rear bike rack did not cut gas mileage. Cut rectangular piece from plastic undercover following instructed metrics and bolted in place. Did it myself in short order. I'm 68 years old. Price was half local cost. Customer service and delivery was exceptional.
The box protected the hitch from shipping damage, although, the cardboard strapping inside the box had broken loose.
The package arrived very quickly!
Easy install. Don’t need to drop rear panel, just cut per instruction using box cutter trim and zip tie back in place. I’m 72 and did it by myself using a Harbor Freight floor jack in about 45 minutes. Using lube in muffler hangers makes life so easy??

I am glad it was a simple install for you! I do agree using that lube with the muffler hangers will make everything go smooth. What are you planning on using this hitch for?
This is my second Kurt hitch I’ve installed . I did both by myself with no problem ! I went from a class one to a class III hitch . That’s why did it twice. Great product.

Just fine
I haven't installed it yet but kudos to the customer service department - from timely email updates to delivery notifications and an impressively fast delivery. The price was unbeatable as well. Well done.
Yes, 1 year out I am still very thankful for and proud of my purchase/installation of this hitch. I 'm also thankful for saving $1000 (what my dealer wanted to charge for the equivalent product and installation)!! I would not have had the confidence to install this myself without the incredibly helpful how-to video showing installation of the hitch on the very same make/model/year as my car. Thank you etrailer.com!!

Wonderfully!
Trailer arrived fine, except there where two gouges where paint was flaking off. Fortunately I had some gray primer and black spray paint which I used to cover the chips. They were on opposite sides of the trailer. The box was in good shape so not sure where it happened. The instructions were very clear and the hitch fit like it was supposed to. All the holes lined up just fine and the videos on line were very helpful. I would have given this product one more mark closer to Excellent except that one thing that I didn't like at all was the way the paint crinkled at the spot where the u shaped bolt gets bolted on with the provided nuts. I was tightening the hitch to the u shaped bolt and as the nuts tightened against the painted hitch I could actually hear and see the paint crinkle. It was as if the paint coat wasn't adhering to the metal. If it had adhered properly, I would have just expected the bolts to scrape some of the paint away not cause it to crinkle. So I took my black can of spay paint and coated the area really well to protect against corrosion. Here in Florida, that is a big problem.

I had the same issue with the u bolt nuts. is the paint supposed to crack like this?
My husband said the hitch was extremely easy to attach to my CRV! I am so glad I also purchased the Thule Helium Aero Bike Hitch. I'm sending a picture in a separate email following this one. Thanks again for the ease in dealing with etrailer and for the quick deliveries!!

Thanks for checking back. I still love it! It has been perfect for the bike rack we purchased.
Installation was very easy. Hardest part was the rubber hangers on the muffler. Decided to cut the rear panel with a rotozip instead of removing it, so I took my time measuring. I used a floor jack with a piece of wood and had my wife stabilize it. After cutting the hole, everything went smoothly. Place the bolts, tighten and torque them and your done. The videos were really helpful. Total time about 1 hour. Price and service from E-Trailer were outstanding.

I removed the appearance panel, so that I would not slip and cut any wires above it that I could not see-now that I have done it that way, I discovered there is nothing to injure if you cut the piece in place on the car....the landmarks are obvious for marking the cut out, and a sheet rock knife does a quick easy cutout...my muffler hangers came off with moderate encouragement, and slipped back on with a squirt of silicone spray...all in all, a quick and easy install...oh, if you do it with one person, it is easiest to have a floor jack to raise and hold the hitch in place while you mount the bolts...etrailer is a great company to do business with....Mel

Everything works perfectly.
I ordered the Curt C13119 hitch in October when I decided to buy a 2015 CRV Touring model. I must have ordered it at the right time of day, I received the hitch the next afternoon. However, I ended up having to order my CRV. I had the hitch for three months before I could install it.
I left the plastic panel in place and cut the hole with a utility knife. I started with just cutting three sides to make a flap rather than a whole. I wanted to replace as much of the cutout as I could after the install. Bending the flap to 90 degrees, I had enough room to work. After the hitch was in place, I cut a smaller piece from the flap to fit around the hitch. I then used JB KwikWeld to glue the flap in place.
The hardest part for me wast getting the bolt directly above the muffler torqued down in the limited space. Thank you for the videos showing the installation. It made the process easier to watch it happen first.
The quality of the Curt hitch is excellent, well made with thick paint. Much better than the U-Haul hitch I had on my last vehicle.
I have referred several people to use eTrailer.com based on my experice with their website and products.

Could you tell me where you found the wiring harness hookup on your 2015. Was it behind the drivers side rear panel? Thanks in advance.
Hitch was processed quickly. Received hitch 2 days before scheduled delivery, thank you FedEx.
I highly recommend watching the installation video. If I had not watched it, I would not have thought you needed to put lower cover panel on the hitch at the same time when you bolt the hitch on. This can be tricky. I zipped tied the panel to the hitch on the passenger side. Plus I used utility knife to cut the plastic. Much cleaner than using a dremel.
Besides the panel covering, the installation is straight forward. My hitch lined up perfect to the Honda mounting points. Luckily I am a Honda tech, so I had all the tools needed and the availability of a vehicle hoist. Still needed help holding the hitch up to start a couple bolts. More power to those that installed theirs at home with the vehicle on the ground.
Hitch looks great installed. I just wished receiver was tucked a little more.

Hitch has been great. Just wish my bike rack had less play. No fault of the hitch.
Another great hitch. Shipping was on-time and the hitch was exactly what I ordered. Finish was even but there was slight damage probably in shipping but it looked like it was struck with a ball-peen hammer. A little filing and some spray paint and it was good to go. Instructions were clear and the cutting of the plastic body panel on the underside was much easier than I thought. Definitely measure and use a straight edge when cutting. Dremel with a rotary cutter worked great. Cutting the insulation was simple, really good shears made easy work of it. Prior to mounting run the bolts all the way in and out a few times to clear any debris from the threads you can't get with the brush. Getting the exhaust clear is a little challenging but manageable. I installed the hitch by myself and it went smoothly. Total time was about 90 minutes. I spent a lot of time on the measuring and also added a rubber barrier around the hole I cut. Very pleased with the fit and look of the finished hitch.

Love the hitch. 3rd product I have purchased from Etrailer and they have never let me down.
Purchased the Curt C13119 hitch from etrailer for a new 2014 Honda CR-V after going over the wealth of product information available on the site that reassured that I'd be getting the right product. I have a Thule bike rack that we used on our previous car and 2" hitches are not available from Honda dealer installation. I'm not a big DIY guy so had our local shop install it. We only use it for a bike/ski rack, not towing, so I know I won't be overloading it. Also purchased the stabilizer strap for the rack (see photos bellow) as per Curt and Etrailer.com's recommendations to preserve warranty. It's not much extra effort to install and adds piece of mind that it's relieving some of the stress on the hitch. We got all this just days before going on a long trip to the Rocky Mountains. The hitch worked great with all four bikes on the rack!

Thanks for the follow up email. You picked a great time to check in since the hitch has been great and we just used it to load up 3 mountain bikes for a trip to the mountains. It worked great in the winter to hitch up a ski rack. It looks great and I like the added assurance from the support strap.Thanks!
This hitch receiver was easy to install and works great!
Perfect fit! Easy install per husband :) Already got the bike rack on. It’s working great.
Fast shipping and clear installation instructions. The hitch itself was scuffed up in a couple of spots when I opened the box, so I primed and painted the bare metal. The hardest parts were reinstalling the plastic underbody shield and clearing the rust out of the mounting holes on a ten year old vehicle. Also had to adjust the hitch width by 1/8” with a sledgehammer to get the bolt holes to align with the frame. Overall a much harder project than I’d hoped, even with decent mechanical skills.
Just completed the installation. The install video was very helpful and easy to follow.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is sturdy and looks great on my car. Be prepared for a long install. And it is easier to have two people doing the install. I thought I could do it alone but had to have my wife help hold it in place. Might not be as hard for a younger person, we are both 75 years old and not really mechanically inclined.

Looks like you guys did a great job with the install, Jim! A helping hand definitely makes this process easier, even for the youngins. : ) What will you be using the hitch for?
I bought this hitch to use with a Saris bike rack to transport 2 hybrid bikes. Installation was quick and easy using the proper tools and two people. This hitch is solid. I transported 3 bikes without any concern 9+ hours today and had zero issues. I purchased the support strap and it helped to keep my Saris Bones bike rack stable and supported. Excellent hitch!
My son-in-law installed this hitch in about an hour, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It has a sleek, clean look and is customized perfectly for my CR-V. It will be a huge help for my upcoming move to the Sunshine State, allowing me to pull a small U-Haul trailer with ease.
The 2-inch receiver is also perfect for my bike rack. No more folding down the rear seat and removing the front tire just to fit my bike inside the vehicle! He said the wiring was very straightforward, and adding the 4-pin harness for the brake lights and turn signals was quick and easy.
This is actually my second hitch from etrailer, and once again, I’m impressed with the quality and fit. Great products, easy installation, and exactly what I needed. etrailer has earned a customer for life!
