This hitch gives you a solid way to tow small trailers or mount accessories without going overboard. With a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening, Class I rating, and a maximum of 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, it’s perfect for light-duty towing and hauling. It’s ideal for small campers, cargo carriers, or bike racks when you just need a dependable connection point that feels sturdy and secure.
You don’t need fancy tools or a lift to get this hitch in place. It’s built for a simple bolt-on installation using the included hardware kit and step-by-step instructions—no drilling or welding needed. The precision, robotic welding ensures everything lines up exactly where it should, so installation goes smoothly in a driveway or garage with common hand tools.
This round-tube hitch is constructed from fully welded steel and finished with a gloss black powder coat over a protective base layer for superior rust resistance. The durable coating keeps the hitch looking sharp while standing up to road grime, rain, and salt. It’s designed for years of use whether you’re towing or carrying gear through every season.
The stylish round-tube design keeps things tidy under the bumper while still offering easy access to the receiver. It blends well with your vehicle’s rear end instead of sticking out awkwardly. You get a clean, functional look that fits right in while giving you all the towing and accessory options you need.

Its an excellent product, and the accompanying wiring harness was a breeze, with the only tricky part being the battery connection. I decided to snake the red lead from the trunk to the battery through the interior of the car. The rocker panels were easy to remove, then I only needed to drill a small hole in the firewall to get the wire to the engine compartment. I mostly use the hitch for my bike rack, but I needed to transport a gas generator, and borrowed a friends utility trailer, which hooked up to the wiring harness no problem.

Good ole Harbor Freight always comin' in hot. My husband is like a kid in a candy store when it comes to that place. Gotta be careful when it comes to some items there though, I believe he got his torque wrench from their as well, so it should work well for your hitch. You will need to torque all of the 1/2-13 fasteners to the recommended specs in the manual. I do know that sometimes, it can be difficult to properly use the torque wrench; depending on strength and/or space. I think it may be best to see if you can ask a neighbor or family member to assist you. If you are needing some more information on how to use the torque wrench, let me know and I am more than happy to further assist you.

Well you did exactly what I would have suggested from our help article which I linked below. A lot of the times the hitch can get flexed from the shipping process. I am glad to see that you were able to get it installed!

You bike rack looks great back there! Glad to hear our install video was useful to your installer as well! Do you have a specific trail you like to ride? I was able to get out on the Katy Trail here in Missouri this last weekend a couple of times.
