Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.

by:
2004 Acura TSX

I purchased the hitch to use with a bicycle rack and so far it has performed its job as expected. Further, the hitch doesn't look as obtrusive on the rear of the car as I was expecting.

I installed on an Acura TSX 2004 myself. The installation went according to the directions. Like other installers have mentioned, two heat shield bolts do not line up and must be left off for reassembly - so far no rattling. I bought a bench grinder and ground approximately 1mm off the bolt retaining plates so they would fit in the hole on the car frame. Otherwise, no issues.



by:
2006 Acura TSX

The hitch arrived quickly and in substancial packaging.
The installation went well, however the video posted for the 2006 Acura TSX (Draw-tite hitch) was a little misleading as the exhaust did not drop nearly as much as it did in the video. It was obvious that more exhaust hangers were removed than the instructions show.

Only suggestion to e-trailer would be to add one more bolt lead (fish wire) to the packaging because they are not the easiest thing to find in the big box hardware stores should one get damaged.



by:

It’s a awesome product but I think you guys should provide more of the metal wire to fish out the hardware because it gets a lil snugged and the wire stretches other then that I like it it’s doing its job



by:
2005 Acura TSX

Excellent. Received my order quickly. Needed another fishwire that originally came with the trailer. Emailed request. That same day got an email stating it was being shipped. Had a new one in a few days. The service was amazing. I highly recommend using this company.



by:
2006 Acura TSX

Quality hitch, fast shipping. And the install video really helped me plan and complete the install. For my TSX, enlarging the hole in the sub-frame was much harder than it looked in the video. Most DIY'ers don't have two pry bars. Also the coiled wire used to fish the bolt and retainer through the frame channel is really a one-time use only item. You can see the pro in the video pull pretty hard to get it off the bolt, doing this uncoils the metal and you cannot use it again. And by its design if you try to unscrew the bolt the coil gets tigheter.... CURT only supplies one, if etrailer could toss an extra one in the box that would be great. You only need it for two of the bolts, the back two bolts you can get by hand. Thank you etrailer, fast shipping, great content on the website, and great customer service.

I needed a trailer hitch and bike rack. These guys know their stuff. I spoke with Adam who was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I give A+ for customer service and wouldn't hesitate to order from them again!!!



by:
2005 Acura TSX

Excellent and constant communication from them. Item arrived very fast and as described. Fit exactly in my TSX. TRUST purchase. I will definitely buy again at etrailer



by:

Perfect for what I need!!



by:

The hitch attachment holes were hard to line up even though they were ovaled. I had to raise it up perfectly level which took an extra hand. Other than that, fit and look are perfect! Thanks!



by:

First off I must admit that I've purchased receiver hitches through etrailer before with great experiences. However, this last time was unfortunately not so great. Upon receiving my hitch and unboxing it, I discovered lots of heavy scratches in the powder coat, in some places having completely removed the powder coat. It appeared as though the hitch had been drug across concrete and had sustained some significant damages. Usually id expect this to be at the fault of the shipping company, however in this case my box hadn't sustained any damage at all, indicating the damage had occurred prior to having been packaged in the Etrailer box. Not only this but when I installed the hitch it required a decent amount of bending in order to line up with the bolt holes correctly. To this day the hitch doesn't fit my vehicle quite as it should and pushes up on my rear bumper. My only real gripe is with etrailer's failure to rectify my issues when I reached out to them. Again, I've purchased and installed hitches from them multiple times in the past with no issues whatsoever, and this comes as a disappointment. I will update this review if etrailer finally pulls through and corrects the issues.

I am sorry that this transaction with us had not been as expected. When the hitches are shipped to us they are shipped stacked together in large pallets which means that at times they arrive in less than pristine condition. It can create the imperfections that you have seen in the powder coating. I will have our customer service team review and reach out to you.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch

  • Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer With a 2004 Acura TSX
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11455 is actually the only trailer hitch offered for a 2004 Acura TSX so you don't have much of a choice but it will work just fine to pull a small trailer as it is rated for up to 2,000 lbs. I have attached an install video for you which should help immensely with the installation process. In order to complete your towing setup you will also need a trailer wiring harness, the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part...

  • Installing the Curt Trailer Hitch 11455 on a 2004 Acura TSX
    There are a few steps to note when installing the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 11455, on your 2004 Acura TSX. You will not need to modify the exhaust at all, but you will need to lower the exhaust during installation and remove the exhaust heat shields from both sides. You may also need to drill or file the access holes on the vehicle frame so the carriage bolts will fit. The carriage bolts will need to be fished through the frame using a fishwire tool. Once you have the hitch installed, you...

  • Recommended Hitch Expander Adapter Compatible with Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver for Bike Rack
    For your Class I trailer hitch receiver # C11455, you will need to use a hitch expander that is compatible with a Class I hitch. I recommend the Brophy Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # HTAD which will allow you to use a bike rack made for a 2 inch receiver. You will need to account for the load capacity as using an adapter will limit the tongue weight rating of your trailer hitch by 50%. That means your bike rack, adapter, and loaded bike(s) combined weight needs to...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Towing Accessories for 2014 Acura MDX
    For your 2014 Acura MDX, I'd recommend the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, part # C13146. When installed, the hitch will be almost completely concealed behind the bumper, with only the receiver tube being visible. There isn't a Class I hitch available for your vehicle, but the 2 inch receiver is much more popular, and will have a much better selection of hitch mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers available. If you'll be towing with your hitch, you might be interested in...

  • Will the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT Fit on a 2007 Acura TSX with Class I Trailer Hitch
    Yes, you will be able to use the Thule Doubletrack Pro XT bike carrier, # TH92BJ, in a Class I trailer hitch on the back of your 2007 Acura TSX, as long as you stay within the tongue weight capacity of the bike rack, trailer hitch and vehicle frame. To determine the tongue weight capacity of your vehicle check the owner's manual. For a trailer hitch, I would recommend the Curt Hitch, # C11455, which is custom designed to fit your 2007 Acura TSX.

  • How Many Bikes Can Be Carried On a Trailer Hitch for a 2006 Acura TSX
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11455 which is a fit for a 2006 Acura TSX only has a class I rating so the maximum number of bikes that can be carried is two. I am aware the weight capacity of the hitch will likely allow for more than two bikes, but the issue is actually with leverage rather than raw weight capacity. For a bike rack, the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack part # C18085 is a great option.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Bike Rack Capable Of Hauling a 62lb E-Bike with a 2004 Acura TSX
    Yes, the Hitch Adapter # HTAD will work with your 2004 Acura TSX that has the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11455 mounted. You are correct that it will reduce your total tongue weight capacity by 50% giving you a maximum of 100lbs of tongue weight for your bike rack and bike. I did notice that the Aventon Level Step-Through e-bike has fenders and the 1UP USA 2inch Super Duty Single platform bike rack uses wheel mounts to hold the e-bike in place. If your bike does have these...

  • Is Drawbar Needed to Use Draw-Tite Hitch 24768 on 2008 Acura TSX for Bike Rack
    The Draw Tite 24768 is no longer available. The Curt # C11455 is the replacement for your TSX. Since you will be using your hitch for a bike rack you will NOT need to purchase a draw bar (also called a ball mount) since this is needed only for towing. This light-duty Class I hitch can handle the weight of 2 bikes. Even if a bike rack can hold more than two, the hitch and the vehicle frame where it attaches cannot support more weight and stress than that presented by 2 bikes. You can...

  • Rise Ball Mount Recommendation for 2005 Acura TSX with Curt Trailer Hitch
    For the Class I hitches like the Curt # C11455 that fits your 2005 Acura TSX you have to use only the recommended ball mount in the recommended rise/drop position. For your situation the recommended ball mount is the part # C45521 which you'd need to run in the rise position. This provides a rise of 2-5/8 inches. For hitch balls you'd then want the part # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

  • Recommendation For Bike Rack Compatible With 1-1/4 Inch Class I Hitch on 2006 Acura TSX
    The item you referenced, Hidden Hitch Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part 60831 is no longer available. I would recommend going with the Curt Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C11455, as it is similar design to part # 60831 and has the same load capacity. For a compatible bike rack for a 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, I would recommend the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Steel # TH9058, which carries 2 bikes and works with both 1-1/4 or 2 Inch hitches. The Camber bike rack...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2018 Toyota Camry
    For your 2018 Toyota Camry you will want the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11576. No hitches from a 2005 Acura will fit on a 2018 Camry. The width is different and the bolt holes are not going to line up. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11576 is custom fit and bolts to your Camry with included hardware. It is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have linked an installation video below.

  • Curt C11455 Class I Hitches for 2006 Acura TSX
    The Curt # C11455 is a 1-1/4-inch Class I hitch for your 2006 Acura TSX. This Curt hitch has a difficulty rating of 5 out of 10, but it does require you to drill to enlarge access holes and requires relocating or modifying the exhaust. There could even be slight variances from one vehicle to another. An install video is linked so you can see exaclty how it is done. It is important to know that the Curt's warranty policy requires that all no-trailer loads (such as a bike rack like # C18085...
