This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver gives you a solid way to haul gear or tow a trailer with confidence. With a 5,000-lb gross trailer weight rating and a 750-lb tongue weight capacity, it’s built for everyday tasks like pulling a small camper, boat, or utility trailer. The 2" x 2" receiver opening works with the most common ball mounts, bike racks, and cargo carriers, so you can easily switch between towing and carrying gear without special adapters.
The hitch is fully welded for strength that holds up under load and over time. It’s protected by a gloss black powder coat layered over a base coat to fight rust and corrosion, so you don’t have to worry about weather exposure or road grime. The round-tube design gives it a clean, finished look that blends well under the rear bumper while staying tough enough for repeated use on rough roads or in wet conditions.
This hitch bolts directly to the frame—no welding required. Everything you need comes in the box: a full hardware kit and installation instructions. The precision robotic welding ensures everything lines up properly with factory mounting points for an easy fit. If you’ve got basic tools and a little driveway space, you can handle the install on your own without drilling into the frame.
Whether you’re adding a bike rack for weekend rides or pulling a lightweight trailer for work or travel, this Curt receiver gives you dependable strength and versatility. It’s a simple upgrade that expands what your vehicle can do while keeping setup quick and practical.

Watched the installation video a few time before actually installing hitch and it was a breeze. It took more time gathering the tools than installing it. I didn't put it on the lift as backing onto ramps gave me plenty of room and I was able to use the floor jack with a couple 2x6 blocks to raise it into position without needing another person. The holes all lined up great. I did knock one C bolt into the body but with the fish wire and a section of a wire hanger I worked it back into position. Great product.
I just purchased a new 2015 Audi Q5. Audi's Q5 Hitch was prohibitively expensive therefore I went to etrailer. Erika was very helpful guiding me to this Curt Hitch.
I arranged prior to purchasing my Q5 that the Audi dealer would install the Curt hitch. When I picked the car back up today the Service Manager said that despite the video and directions, this was not installed in under an hour; rather it took his mechanic between 2-3 hours! So, if you are an amateur mechanic, be patient.....
.....anyway, the installed hitch is less obtrusive than I expected. Note: I removed all the stickers from the hitch with "Goof Off" which helped it blend in when not in use.
Put my Thule Aero Bike Rack on the hitch and it all worked perfectly.
I am very pleased with my purchase and service from etrailer.

The hitch is working perfectly. I am very pleased with my purchase.
On Audi q5 2014, back hands run short.
The video, how to do it, can't be used completely and it is not accurate. Some parts are, but not all.
At the end i was able to instill it my self.
Sleek design, very well built, robust, easy to install and, most importantly, perfect fit for my Audi Q5.

Ive using with my bike rack for over an year and it works perfect without any problems. Great product!!!
It has not been installed but looks in tact.
Install was made easy following the instructional video.
Perfect fit on my 2016 Audi Q5.
Great value...fast shipping...thank you!
As advertised. Quick shipping. Happy with my purchase.
The package arrive two days earlier. The installation videos for my Audi Q5 were very good. I was able to do it myself.
I would recommend your site to my friends.
Thank you very much.
Pretty easy installation (about 2 hrs) after we had to reshape the frame due to damage in shipping. When it arrived by UPS, it was poking thru the box and the box had no packaging material inside it. That's why I only gave it a 4 star.
etrailer’s [online] videos on installation are absolutely priceless… It’s incredibly rare to get both a great product, price and exemplary service / support. Don’t waste your time looking elsewhere!
Great hitch. It fits perfectly well, giving a great sense of strong and safe support.
Now I feel my bike is travelling safe and comfortable.
It also looks great on the car. Really great product.
Now I´m getting another one for my new Mitsubishi Montero Sport
Everything fit up good. The only problem is on the 2016 Porche Macon it is to far under the vehicle. I had to buy a extension which lowers the weight it can handle considerably.
Simply put - it went perfect:
1. Ordering - put in my car model, type and year - crazy simple.
2. Shipping - came sooner than expected, much sooner.
3. Arrived at 6:30 pm had it in by 8:30 pm
4. 2.5 days from order to completion... seriously, didn't expect that.
5. email notification - had video of install requirements - priceless.
6. Product and hardware - all there, great condition
7. Install just like video - fishing the u-bolts, that was a trick, but the tolerances of everything were spot on and worth the extra effort.
8. End product looks fantastic, just what I wanted.
9. Took some pics - just a couple. Enjoy
Fits perfect on 2013 Audi Q5 2.0T. Great instructions and arrived quickly. Bumper sensor clips a bit hard to get off, and torque for 1/2” bolts is too high on paper (I think said 110 but that snapped my bolt) but hitch is solid and installs very solidly.
Purchased this for my 2014 Audi Q5 TDI. Easy installation. I have purchased same hitch for my 2015 Audi Q5 TDI several months ago and no issues what so ever towing. Solid hitch along with clean appearance of factory install. Self Installed myself.
Great product and price if your handy.
I must admit up-front that removing the bumper facia on my 2015 Audi Q5 was intimidating, however after watching the video [online] I felt confident that even I could complete this install.
The install was not too difficult but also not exactly like the video. You just need to see where the trex bolts are in the wheel well by feel.
The hitch is well hidden and looks like part of the original vehicle.
Overall I am very happy with the product and am proud to have drone it myself and not ruined my car! Thanks etrailer and Curt.
It is very good and of high quality. It took them quite sometime to work on my order and shipping too (almost 2 weeks) may be due to the pandemic but after I received it, I was really impressed. I followed the video and it took me 45 mins working on it by myself. I recommend it to anyone looking for a hitch like that. Good job guys.
I don't know how to to change my oil, but I was able to install this hitch!
I watched the video a couple of times, and it seemed pretty straight forward. It took me over 2 hours, only because I was super careful and have never done any work on my car or know much about cars. You definitely need 2 people to perform this task since someone has to hold the hitch in place, while the other person aligns the rack, and screws on the nuts in place. When placing the hitch in, line up the pieces in the furthest away first, then line up the holes in the front where the u-bolts are supposed to go.
Tip: I didn't have a jack, nor did I really need one, but for more space to work with, I parked it over a curb to gain 6 inches of more space to work with.
I believe that the trickiest part is when you have to push the u-bolts into the hole, put the rack over the hole alignment, then pull on the fishing wire to pull out the u-bolts again so it goes through the rack. If you are too forceful with shoving the rack in, the u-bolts get wedged/jammed, and it becomes difficult to pull on the fishing wire.
Fits perfectly on my 2016 Audi Q5. With the aid of the video that I found on YouTube, I took my time doing the work and got it done by myself in less than 2hrs. Bike rack is now mounted!

No issues
I must Say I am very impressed with the customer service that was provided. I made a mistake on my order, and was able to get in touch with customer service in a little less than 5 minutes to resolve my issue. The item was shipped really fast! I received it maybe 2 days after ordering (it helped that I live in the neighboring state) but nonetheless it was quick to arrive. The item looks solid and has a nice gloss paint scheme to it with no big decals which is nice. Installation was not very challenging, it took maybe 1.5 hours. Once installed the trailer looks amazing, it sits subtlety underneath the car which is a big plus. I went ahead and purchased a hitch as well and it all looks great together.

Still holding up strong! Been through a lot of towing this past year and it has held up very well. Definitely a great investment if you plan on towing light or heavy loads.
Great hitch but came with too short of carriage bolts. They need to be about 1/4 " longer for the Macan. Also it did not come with Porsche Macan instructions.I only had to trim the rear cover 1/2 x3/4" and it looks factory.
I did speak with a tec guy a curt about the issues an he could have cared less.I liked there hitch and your service ,this my third hitch from you and I would order again .I mail you before the hitch got here and they e- mail a full copy of instructions for both Audi Q 5 and Porsche Macan to me that should have came with my hitch.Thanks to woman who helped me with the mail.
Just a heads up i spent over 30 years as auto tec for Three different car lines so I know my way around a car and this is my 5th hitch that I have installed. Great shipping speed. I tried to order a cargo carrier but the shipping was to much .I should have ordered it when I ordered the hitch. Thanks Frank

Good morning Frank,I have a 2015 Macan S that was built by my local dealer without roof rails or the tow package. I am looking at options outside of the ridiculously expensive Porsche OEM Hitch that needs to be installed by the dealer. Since you are a Macan owner I was hoping you could provide me with some feedback on the Curt13136 hitch. I was hoping to utilize this hitch to transport my road bike and possibly a 18 trailer. I was wondering how you handled the wiring since Porsche does not want to sell this outside of their OEM hitch solution. Any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The wiring is available from Porsche now ! You will need a harness for the fuse box a control box and a harness to the trailer wiring, you will spend about $400 for the set up and will have it matched up to your car at the dealer, Then you can buy a plug that fits ur hitch wiring harness to match the 4 pin trailer plug Check the Macan Porsche site. I have heard they charge one hr @ 135 per hr,if you dont need the wiring right now I would wait for Curt to come out wit one later at a fraction of the cost.The dealer has a step by step install with photos on how to but u will need to capture the pics with your phone flash off.I may be doing this in a week or so ,if you get back next week will have all the pics and info u needA lot of money but I could have kicked the salesman for not telling me the factory install was a must @ $600,

Perfect !
Looks great. Plan to install tomorrow. This is the second hitch I have purchased from you. Previous was for a 2006 Lexus 400h. This one looks much easier. Will send pics after installation.
