Features to know about

Get More Done Every Day: Add a Class III 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver

With a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs and a tongue weight of 525 lbs, this hitch gives you the flexibility to tow small trailers, haul gear, or mount a bike rack or cargo carrier. It’s built for light to moderate towing and everyday utility. Whether you’re moving equipment, hauling a small boat, or loading up for a trip, the 2" receiver opening fits most standard ball mounts and accessories you already use.

Simple Bolt-On Mount: No Welding or Drilling Required

The fully welded design bolts right onto the vehicle’s frame using existing holes—no welding needed. The included complete hardware kit means you can handle the install in your own driveway with typical hand tools. Precision, robotic welding ensures each mounting point lines up correctly for a secure fit that makes installation straightforward from start to finish.

Strong and Corrosion Resistant: Powder Coated Steel Construction

Built from powder coated steel over a protective base layer, this hitch resists rust and corrosion from road debris and weather exposure. The gloss black finish keeps it looking clean while protecting the welds and frame attachment points. The round tube design gives it a tidy, finished appearance under the bumper without sacrificing strength or clearance.

Ready for Towing or Accessories: Versatile Class III Design

This hitch is rated for towing and ready for multiple setups. Add a ball mount for pulling small trailers or hook up bike racks and cargo trays using the 2" x 2" receiver opening. Since it’s Class III, it offers dependable strength for everyday hauling needs while keeping your accessories stable and aligned on the road.

I accidentally ordered the wrong hitch for my 2017 Fiat 500x. I called in an got Andy a customer service specialist
He was spot on helping me get the right part immediately sent me a link to recreate my invoice, and got me hooked up with a return label. I was out of town but the next day I got ahold of Andy again and everything went out to me. Excellent customer service, and pricing. I highly recommend you shop with these folks for your trailer accessories needs

Received the Trailer Hitch perfectly on time and without scratches or any other problems. I did not try to install it myself; I took it to have it professionally installed by one of Curt's Certified dealers and they did a great job. I have been using it to transport my bicycles with a 2" Yakima Hitch Bike Rack. Totally recommend it!

Great price, free and fast shipping. Will look here first for my trailer needs.

Fairly easy install. I used a smaller dremel. I do not recommend using a smaller dremel. If you have a proper die-grinder and a good bit, anyone can install this in under an hour.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Jerry. Ashley is pretty amazing so I'm glad that she got to help you out! What are you going to be hauling with your Fiat?

2016 Fiat 500X

Purchased hitch for my 2016 Fiat 500x was a bit Leary as the car was a new model for Fiat and I only had the car for 6months purchased 2weeks after the dealer got it. The hitch was a little tricky to fit. Had to grind time holes bigger to fit the bolts. Had to bend the arms a bit as they were compressed together to that they would not fit oround the frame. I put the install at a medium difficulty as it was not bolt and go. Otherwise the hitch has performed perfect no issues towing 3000lbs or my 300lb racing cart. Lighting kit for the 500x was also purchased and the was a real breeze to install.

This is the second time I have dealt with etrailer and the experience was the same as the first. A well executed ordering process, helpful product research materials, knowledgable service and a competitive price seem to be hallmarks of this company. I am very pleased with etrailer's people and its products.

I am extremely pleased with the product. It fit perfectly. Excellent price. I had priced the same item at the Jeep dealership and it was over $500.00. I think I paid approx. $120.00 through etrailer. One year later it still looks brand new and it actually looks like the jeep came from the factory with it. I'm well pleased and highly recommend etrailer. After seeing mine one of my friends purchased one for his Fiat.

I purchased a 2" receiver for our Fiat 500L to use for a bike rack so we do not have bikes above the roof making them hard to reach and in the wind. The reciever is solid, works well for our needs, plus was delivered quickly and was easy to install.

It looks like it should be a easy install, but you know how that goes. I won't be able to install it right away so we will see.

Fit and installed it exactly like the installation video on your website explain. The video doesn’t show all the details. I was very nice to have the wire pulls To position the bolts and spacers. That part took a little extra finesse but was necessary and it worked out well. The trailer hitch receiver and the plug and play wiring made installation much easier.

Do you have a question about this Trailer Hitch?

Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2017 Fiat 500X Pop
Hey John, According to Curt's website the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13271 does fit Pop models but does not fit Trekking models so it would be a fit for your Fiat. I'll have the page updated to accurately reflect the fitment notes from Curt. If you ever need to tow a small trailer or want to add lights to the bike rack then you'll also want to pick up the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 as well.

Hey Edward, we have replacement hardware kits for all of the hitches we carry including part # C13271 with the part # RHK which comes with all of the hardware and the pull wire. Did you lose yours?

Does Curt Hitch part # C13271 Fit 2016 Fiat 500X Trekking
Hey Erik, that's a really good point. The install we did for the Curt hitch part # C13271 was on a Trekking model like you notices so yes it would fit. It probably wasn't noticed because of the lack of a Trekking badge on the vehicle. The Trekking models have the satin silver cladding on the front and rear bumpers like what you can see in the attached install picture.

Recommendation on a Trailer Hitch to Fit a 2016 Fiat 500X
For your 2016 Fiat 500X, I recommend the Curt Hitch # C13271. The Curt hitch is made of quality materials. I understand that the Curt hitch may look way too heavy-duty and rated too high for your Fiat, Curt has installed and tested their hitches and feel that they will work well with your vehicle. If you are interested in a bike racks, I have attached a link that will take you to the product page to all of the hitch mounted bike racks that we carry.

Why Curt Does Hitch for 2016 Fiat 500x Have Different Capacity than Vehicle
With any towing setup you are limited by the lowest rated component as the overall towing capacity. In your situation you'd be limited by the vehicle at 2,400 lbs. Draw Tite designed and tested the part # C13271 that you referenced and found that it had a capacity of 3,500 lbs total trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. That is just for the hitch by itself. Now Fiat came up with their own towing capacity for your vehicle that happens to be lower than the hitch.

Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch C13171 on 2016 Fiat 500X
When installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13271 on your 2016 Fiat 500X you will not need to drill any new holes in the frame rails - metal - of the vehicle, as shown in the linked instructions. However, this hitch requires you to enlarge existing holes with a die grinder, or file. Please note the Curt hitch is going to require the use of stabilizing straps # 18050 with all non-trailer accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers in order to maintain the warranty. I've added a link...

Does Curt Hitch # C13271 Fit 2016 Fiat 500X
The Curt hitch part # C13271 does fit the 2016 Fiat 500X with the only exceptions being if it is a Pop or Trekking model which have different rear bumper fascia. I attached an install video for this hitch on a similar 500X for you to check out as well.

Recommended Hitch for a 2016 Fiat 500X
Though I can confirm the Curt # C13271 will fit your 2016 Fiat 500X, excluding the Pop and Trekking options, the # 76021 will not. This has to do with a few subtle differences between the two hitches and where they attach to the frames of the vehicles.

Is There a Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2016 Fiat 500X Trekking Edition?
I currently do not see that any manufactures a trailer hitch receiver for your 2016 Fiat 500X Trekking edition. We do have the Weld-On Receiver # E17 that you can take to a local fabrication shop to see about a custom fabricated receiver. The 4-Way Harness # C59236 will allow you to splice into your factory wiring. This 4-way is the common connector on most small trailer and will also allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 should you have a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack which...

Can a Yakima Trunk Mount Bike Rack Hold a Single 50 Pound Bike on a 2016 Fiat 500X
The Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638 has a single bike capacity of 35 pounds even though the rack has a total capacity of 90 pounds. This means if you put one bike on the rack it cannot weigh more than 35 pounds. There are no trunk mount bike racks that are rated high enough for a single 50 pound bike. Your only option for a bike that heavy is to install a trailer hitch, # C13271, on your 2016 Fiat 500X and use a hitch mounted bike rack rated high enough for the 50 pound bike. I recommend...

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Fiat 500X
