When you need more room for gear but don’t want to overload your trunk, this Curt Class I hitch gives you a sturdy 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver that’s built for light-duty towing and hauling. It’s rated for up to 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, making it ideal for small trailers, cargo carriers, or a couple of bikes. The square-tube design delivers dependable strength for daily use without being bulky.
The hitch is made from fully welded steel and finished with a gloss black powder coat over a protective base coat. That combination provides solid durability and superior rust resistance so you can count on it season after season. The precision, robotic welds keep everything aligned and tight, giving you confidence when towing or carrying extra weight.
This hitch is designed as a custom fit so the mounting points line up exactly with the frame for a secure installation. It comes with the full hardware kit and instructions you need to get the job done in your own driveway. Installation requires drilling, heat shield trimming, and temporarily lowering the exhaust, but once in place it sits neatly with a visible cross tube that looks clean under the rear bumper.
Whether you’re heading out for a trip with bikes or pulling a small trailer for weekend projects, this Class I receiver gets you there without hassle. Use it with a drawbar (sold separately) to tow light loads or slide in your favorite hitch-mounted cargo carrier to haul extra supplies. It’s the practical upgrade that turns everyday drives into ready-for-anything hauls.

Great product fast shipping
The fit is perfect and the fish wires for installing the bolts are amazing!
Excellent product. Fits right in, fast shipping. Thank you.
The instructions stated that the rear trim panel and the heat shield should be removed and returned to the customer. It was honestly 5 extra minutes to cut a small piece of trim panel and install it back, the same for the heat shield. Removing the trim panel would expose a lot of dirt collection in the rear, also causing more noise and why completely remove the heat shield.
This seems wasteful and just taking the "easy" route for the installer, when the modification would take less than 5 minutes.
Other than that, very happy with the product so far.
This is probably the 5th Trailer hitch and wearing harness that I have ever purchased from E-trailer the quality of the E-trailer wearing harnesses and trailer hitches and Receiver are outstanding. I don't think any other company can match them in my opinion. Every hitch I have ordered, 2018 Jeep Cherokee, Prius-C, Two Priuses, and now a Hyundai Sonata. All Receiver hitches Have fit perfectly Without any modifications without any trouble that I Didn't need to do. My thanks to E-trailer. PS: I want to leave The thought that the videos on how to install a trailer hitch receiver are the greatest showing everything I need to know and make the process easy.
Not a close tolerance fit for bike mount. Required an additional purchase of anti-rattle fixture. Cleaver and easy method used to install bolts into car frame.

I wish I paid attention to my total project time on this, but I assume around two hours from start to finish. Mainly, there wasn’t a single part of this installation that was overly difficult, it just took a bit of time to prep and lower exhaust, cut heat shielding to reinstall and trim the plastic panel to reinstall that. Fishing the bolts was far more simple than I expected, namely due to the real solid “fishing line” wires included. I am very satisfied with the results and have tested it so far only using a bike rack, so no towing experience yet. I used a pair of vehicle ramps which were fine, but getting under the car a bit easier would have made this job quicker.

This is the 2nd trailer hitch I have purchased from etrailer. The previous for a For Fusion. Both were for a bike rack. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. The bag of hardware came loose in the shipping box, losing one of the carriage bolts during transit. I reach out to support, and etrailer replied promptly indicating they would ship an entire new hardware kit to me.
Note: The instruction say to discard the driver-side panel and passenger-side heat shield. I found that I could easily cut some material away from both the panel and heat shield in way of the trailer hitch to re-attach both pieces. I used a pair of gardening shears to make the cuts, which perhaps wasn't the best tool for the job, but it was all I had on hand it worked out quite nicely. Total additional labor time was 10-15 minutes. I am not sure if the panel and heat shield are "required", but I figured it can't hurt to re-install them.

Thanks for coming back to get your next hitch! We're glad to hear the instructions were easy to follow and that our team was able to quickly get a replacement hardware kit on the way. We also appreciate you sharing your experience with the underbody panel and heat shield. That's a great tip for others who prefer to keep those components in place rather than remove them entirely. It sounds like a little extra effort paid off and gave you the result you were looking for.
Very easy to follow instruction for our 2025 Hyundai Sanota Limited Hybrid bike tow hitch. I did however cut the removable plastic body panel on the drivers side and put it back in place. It actually fits nice and looks great. As a safety precaution a used all four threader wires to get the bolts and plate into the body channel. I kept them on time but was ready to go on. Worked out well and I only damage one wire by pulling it off to get the first nut in place. Then move hutch around till all nuts came through then hand tightened the one nut. Went to opposite corners and removed the wires unscrewing them to save for later. After all four nuts were on I centered the hitch on the body rails and righted bolt by hand, finishing off with socket wrench and torque wrench. After putting the exhaust back I bust the body panel on drivers side to fit. Pictures enclosed.
