Used on my 1999 Dodge Intrepid's CURT 12006 Class II 1.25 in. Receiver Hitch: 350lbsTW/3500 lbs GTW. I use this Curt Class II Drawbar - 3-7/8" Rise - 11-1/4" Long - 3,500 lbs to tow a 3,500+ GTW dual axle trailer. I have used it with the trailer FULLY loaded and it performs EXCELLENT. You have to make sure the trailer is loaded correctly so as not to put too much down force on the tongue/drawbar. I was skeptical that the SOLID 1.25" bar would not take the load, but it is super strong. I chuck it in the trunk when not in use to protect passerby's shins, but it sticks out far enough clear the Intrepid's bumper, and is solid with a 2" ball (required a bushing). etrailer got it out fast at a good price! I would totally purchase this again from them.

I stand by my review completely. Super rigid drawbar and powder coating has held up well. Not much to go wrong with it and I am still amazed at its strength.



by:

Simple as a hammer. Solid steel and quite heavy duty for the intended class.



by:

Every part excellent quality. Perfect fit, all parts were exact for my vehicle. Watched the video on youtube for wiring and being a mechanic for over 50 years was able to connect signal lights all from driver side of harness. Instead of leaving plug inside trunk I wired through the rubber outlet to the back of the hitch ready for use. Very happy highly recommend etrailer.

Very happy with products all high quality feel confident using. Thanks

Awesome drawbar! The order process was smooth and flawless from beginning to end. Shipment was fast and accurate. I would highly recommend etrailer for all of your trailering needs!

I’ve used this product several times over the past year and it continuously works flawlessly!



by:

It was the perfect size for my 2018 Chevy Cruze, coming up around the rear bumper with plenty of room yet could tow over 2,000 lbs. Trailer height to trailer hitch height was perfect.



by:

My hitch receiver is low to the ground on a Honda Civic. This raised my hitch ball about 4" so my kayak trailer tows level, and is now less likely to bottom out on a driveway.



by:

Not much to say! really ! I had ordered another hitch for a certain height so I could have clearance of the hitch from the rear door of my Toyota Rav4, the size was perfect, the Mini-Camper-Utility trailer sits 1 inch off level tilting forward , when loaded it sits perfectly level, I can open the rear door 3/4's its full swing, It came in the post wonderfully wrapped, came on time, I have made purchases from etrailer in the past with spectacular service, a follow up e mail that, should I have any problems it would be taken care of. I highly recommend etrailer to all, and a big thank you to Ms. Ashley E. for a spectacular service. Jim Raymond Massachusetts



by:

Very good ball mount. I have it on a 2012 Toyota Corolla S with 16" wheels. If I had to do it over again, I'd get a lower rise since the 3-1/8" rise on this model seems a little high for my car, but no big deal. I might also get a little shorter one since this mount is 11-1/4" long, but again no big deal. I'm keeping ball mount, it's also good protection if I ever get rear-ended in my small car (it's happened before and my truck sustained no damage whatsoever thanks to ball mount--unlike the car that rear-ended my truck).



by:

Ordered all three items on 3/16/15 and it was delivered 4 days later (3/20/15) as promised. Can't say enough about what excellent customer service this order system was and very simple to use. The promised date of delivery was right on the money.
I've already installed the hitch and wire assembly and the instructions were very easy to follow.
Thank you



by:

Installed the drawbar...fits easily into the receiver and looks to be a good height when combined with the C12252 Curt trailer hitch receiver on the 2012 Impala. Didn't rate excellent because I haven't used it to tow yet.



by:

Great!!! etrailer has great selection, prices and quality. I always buy from them! I bought Chevy Malibu class one hitch to pull our jet ski, no issues, still have it installed!



by:

Fits well but did not have the pin for the receiver extension. I purchased both extension and hitch from this site and would have figured it would be complete.

The pin and clip for this ball mount is available as # F-4.



by:

I received this receiver about 5:00 PM only three days after ordering it. I called the customer and he delivered his car at 7:00 PM. I installed the the receiver, the taillight converter and wiring, called the customer back and He picked it up ready to tow his trailer by 8:15 PM. That is amazing. Flawless fit and function. That is how to satisfy a customer.



by:

This item is what I was looking for. I needed a longer ball mount and this fits the bill. It is well made and it fits good, it's not sloppy in the receiver like some other brand names. Shipping was fast.



by:

got it in yesterday, very very fast shipping and delivery.
I am well pleased with the product, cannot complain about it craftsmanship at all, very well built.

I added a rattle reducer along with this, I do recommend anyone putting a rattle/noise reducer on along with not only this but with any hitch insert.

plain and simple they all will rattle and make noise..

but overall I recommend this to anyone... you will not be disappointed.

Mine is on my 2016 KIA Soul, 2.0 L
I have one of the Scoota Trailers designed to haul my mobility scooter...



by:

This drawbar is exactly what I needed. It attaches to the hitch with no noticeable issue, and clears the rear bumper. Excellent!



by:

Good product, sturdy and made out of solid steel. Before ordering I suggest measuring the distance from the hitch pin hole to the back of the bumper. The first ball mount I received was unfortunately not long enough



by:

Drawbar came as described and fit the 1.25" receiver without problem. Purchase was on the doorstep earlier than delivery time estimate when ordered. This was my second purchase with absolutely no issues. A great place to do business.



by:

Received the hitch components promptly and in excellent condition. Followed the video instructions and had a successful installation without a "hitch". The sales tech was very helpful.



by:

I just got my order,Katherina could not have been better,ever thing was just like it
should be,When I call to ask about the hitch I was not going to order that day but
she was so helpful that I ordered then,it took three days to get here,I'm putting
it on a 2007 Chev. Impala,I don't have a camera to take any pictures but I know it
will fit fine.I will be telling all my friends about you. Thank you Katherina

by:

Ease of install--Great. Worse part exhaust lowering. Other than that product is great. Wire harness install- a five year old could do it. very satisfied will always come to you, have now got my business.



by:

Fast shipping, everything I ordered arrived in perfect shape. I would definitely recommend etrailer.com to my friends and family.



by:

I have a small cargo trailer and this works great, the right length and rise.



by:

Great Quality and Price - directions and online video was perfect and easy to follow for installation.



by:

The product was shipped quick. The hitch is an excellent piece of equipment, looks great. Thank you for your continued quality and customer service.

  • Recommended Parts to Tow a Small Trailer with a 2009 Buick LaCrosse
    We have everything that you need to get towing with your 2009 Buick LaCrosse. For a trailer hitch I recommend the 1-1/4" Class II Curt # C12239 because we have found the Curt trailer hitches typically have better welds and a thicker powder coat than other options. This contributes to a longer lifespan of the trailer hitch which in turn raises the quality of the hitch. Since you're needing to tow a smaller trailer you'll also need wiring to activate the trailer lights and for that I recommend...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for Towing With a 2015 Kia Cadenza
    I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12118 on your 2015 Kia Cadenza. This hitch has a tongue weight rating of 350lbs and 3,500lb trailer rating. You will want to ensure that you do not exceed the weight ratings given by the manufacturer for your vehicle. This will not require you to change your rear shocks. If your suspension is sagging you should check that the weight on the trailer is distributed properly across the trailer and you do not have to much tongue weight. You typically...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver, Wiring Harness & Ball Mount for Towing a Trailer With a 2023 Buick Encore GX

The Curt Drawbar # C45522 will then be paired with either a 1-7/8" # C40001 or 2" # C40018 hitch ball to match the coupler. I recommend then using the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT to secure the ball mount to your Encore and have locks to secure the trailer to your Encore or while in storage.

    For the Curt hitch part # C11438 that you have installed on your 2005 Volvo V50i has a recommended ball mount, part # C45522. This is a couple inches longer than the # C45561 you currently have so it would give you the clearance you'd need. For a 2 inch hitch ball you'd want the part # C40018 or for a 1-7/8 inch ball part # C40001.

    We do offer trailer hitches for your 2011 Chevrolet Malibu with enough capacity to tow a 690-lb trailer, but you'll want to check your Malibu owner's manual to confirm that the car itself has the required towing capacity. The car and the hitch may have different weight ratings so its best to check in your manual or with your local dealership.
