This hitch gives you the strength and stability to handle light to moderate towing or to carry gear for everyday use. With a 4,000 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 400 lbs maximum tongue weight, it’s built for pulling small trailers, cargo carriers, and bike racks. The square-tube design provides solid reinforcement that keeps your setup steady on the road.
The precision, robotic welding on this hitch maximizes strength and ensures a consistent fit. A gloss black powder coat finish is layered over a protective base coat, giving superior corrosion resistance against rust and road wear. It’s built to stay solid through years of use whether you’re towing or hauling accessories.
This hitch bolts directly to the frame so you can skip the welding and complicated modifications. It comes with a complete hardware kit and installation instructions for a straightforward setup in your driveway or garage. Once installed, the concealed cross tube keeps the receiver looking clean and tucked up under the bumper for a neat appearance.
The standard 2" x 2" receiver opening means you can easily connect common towing and cargo accessories like ball mounts, bike racks, or storage platforms. Whether you’re heading out with bikes, adding space for road trip gear, or hauling a small trailer, this hitch makes your vehicle more capable and versatile for everyday adventures.

Ratings & Reviews
Hitch arrived four days before the estimated arrival date and was packaged good and complete. Installation was fairly easy and took a couple of hours working alone with basic tools. Instructions were poor photo quality being too dark and hard to see. Overall a strong five stars
The hitch has amazing coating and quality. I was blown away by the simplicity and quality. So easy to install. Took more time to in-box then actually install. For my particular wording kit, better pictures, maybe color would help for some people. But the install video on [online] helped perfect.
The hitch was on back order but they kept me informed and up-to-date about when it would be ready for shipping
Perfect fit and good instructions. It's very strong and obscure when the receiver hitch is removed.
Installed it myself. It can be installed by one person, but it took me three hours. If I had a helper one hour. Make sure you have a half inch drill bit and an 18 mm socket. Easy to follow instructions, but the online video is what really helps. excited to try it out. Shipping came quickly. For installation watch the video it’s much more clear and helpful than the printed directions.
Worked great; really like the installation videos. Only took about an hour to put on and really only needed a second set of hands while lifting the hitch in to place.
UPS delivered my product right to my shop door. Thank your etrailer for your quick service.
The installation went as the directions explained, although in my case it took longer. If I did it again I feel it can be done in the time listed in the instructions. The hitch is well hidden behind the bumper except for the receiver socket.
The trailer hitch is perfprming well and continues to be tightly attached to the car. I am satisfied with it's installation and performance.
I was surprised that this was actually available for my car. Received it in a timely fashion and properly boxed. Everything was there and bolted right up, directions were good. Took me about 2 hours start to finish. Looked good on the car and was not ugly.
I have sold the car but didn't actually use the hitch. But I was not concerned about the quality. Would buy again.
It is great easy to install did it within an hour with the help of my dad instructional video was 100% accurate
Easier to take the mufflers off to install.
The receiver tube is not level (1/2" difference from front of tube to back of tube)so installing a cargo carrier will require an adapter to raise the height up behind the bumper.
Would not be an issue with a ball mount.
Shipping was crazy fast! I got this hitch in less than 3 days with the free shipping! The hitch itself was very easy to install (took me just over an hour by myself) and is nice and firm, my only issue is that if I hit a pothole or a bump on the highway my exhaust hits the metal of the hitch, but that’s nothing a little piece of rubber couldn’t fix.
The hitch is quality construction, heavy and sturdy. It pretty much bolts on with some minor adjustments. I had to install a slightly longer rear exhaust rubber hanger to gain enough clearance to keep the exhaust from hitting the hitch when going over bumps in the road. All in all about 4 hours of install and adjustment time. I recommend this for its solid construction.
The installation of the hitch on a 2012 Taurus was very easy with the neat fishing wires. I used a wire snake that I use for threading wire to send the black wire along the driver's door channel and went through the firewall towards the outside of the power brake diaphragm directly to the battery. Definitely view the video before starting installation. Would definitely recommend product to friends.
I am very satisfied with my trailer hitch. This it the 3rd one that I have purchased in the past 8 years.
I have used the hitch when pulling a load of 4,600 lbs ( construction boom lift ).
We are getting ready to get another new vehicle to replace a 2010 model, and we will probably purchase another hitch, so all our vehicles have towing capability.
The hitch and harness were a perfect fit and have worked wonderfully. Delivery was fast, and everything arrived as ordered. I was so impressed with both the price and quality that we also bought another hitch and bike rack for our company Honda Odyssey (another fast delivery and perfect fit). We'll definitely recommend you to any of our friends or associates that are looking for trailering equipment.
This was super easy to install, especially with the instructions and videos they provide you with. The hardest part was getting the factory exhaust hangers off the car before installing the hitch. Will definitely be ordering from here from now on!

We do have a FAQ that is helpful with tips on installing the hitch including how to lower the exhaust.

Thanks for the follow up. The trailer hitch is great. My family is avid cyclist so when we trade our vehicle in for a new one, we will definitely purchase a Curt trailer hitch from you guys again. Customer service has been great!
I had this installed on my 2010 Ford Taurus SHO 2nd the installer had no issues during the install.
trailer hitch fits great and come in fast. we ordered this for a 2016 ford police interceptor sedan. the description says this will not fit but after looking at the car we tried putting it on. it fits the police car Taurus just fine because it is the same frame - body. the only thing you have to do for the police car is move the 2 rear ground straps going to the exhaust. so yes this will fit a police interceptor sedan.
Super fast service. Received exactly what wa described and what we needed.
Comforting to know that customer service is available for any issues or tech support. This is my new go-to company for vehicle hitches and accessories.
This was pretty much a one use sale. It was used to move some furniture from Mississippi to Massachusetts. I had no issues on that 1,400 mile trip.
