Features to know about

Add Hauling Options Without Overcomplicating Things: Class I 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver

This Curt C11378 hitch is built for light-duty towing and accessory use. The 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening supports up to 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, giving you dependable strength for small trailers, bike racks, and cargo carriers. It’s a simple way to make your vehicle more capable for everyday hauling tasks like weekend projects or outdoor trips.

Make Installation Straightforward: Bolt-On Design with Included Hardware

You don’t need welding or fabrication skills to put this hitch on. The fully welded, square-tube design bolts directly in place using the included hardware kit and step-by-step instructions. No welding is required, and the precision robotic welds ensure a solid fit once mounted. It’s an easy upgrade you can handle yourself in the driveway with basic tools.

Keep It Looking Sharp Over Time: Gloss Black Powder Coat for Rust Resistance

The gloss black powder coat finish sits over a protective base coat that helps prevent corrosion from road salt and weather. That durable surface keeps the hitch looking clean longer while protecting the steel underneath from rust. The concealed cross tube design also leaves only the receiver visible for a tidy, factory-style appearance once installed.

Built to Last Through Every Trip: Fully Welded Steel Construction

Made from high-strength steel and assembled as one solid piece, this hitch doesn’t cut corners on durability. The sturdy construction holds up under repeated use whether you’re towing a small trailer or carrying gear on a hitch rack. With its Class I rating and careful build quality, it’s ready for reliable everyday use season after season.

I would like to say that this was my first experience with Etrailer.com and my first time buying/installing a receiver hitch. Finding the correct hitch for my vehicle and placing the order was simple. The item was shipped within 24 hours and arrived in only a few days. The biggest negative of the process was the packaging. The hitch was poorly packaged and had torn through the box. The hitch was protruding from the box in several locations. The good news is the hitch was not damaged. I unboxed the hitch and found the instruction sheet for my vehicle as well as a hitch pin were taped to the hitch. This was odd but not a big deal. The only negative on the hitch is that the paint did not seem to be completely cured. It was tacky to touch and smelled like paint. I don't know if this will effect the finish long term. So the installation went well. The instructions were good. One suggestions I would like to make is to use an adhesive to attach the spacers to the hitch before you slide it under the bumper. Trying to hold two spacers and the hitch in place while inserting a bolt in a space that your hands barely fit was very difficult. I eventually finished installing the hitch. I have been using it for two weeks so far and no problems. I have been checking tension on my bolts and so far they are holding strong!

2014 Nissan Versa Note

Great customer experience from start to finish! From the time I placed my order, I was informed throughout every step about the status of my order. The product is great quality and I cannot wait to try out my new bike rack on this trailer hitch receiver. I ordered it on sept 10th, and received it September 15th. Already got it installed. I took it to a local garage to get it installed, but it took less than an hour to complete and was only $60 (worth it if you don’t have tools and a car lift).

Fits perfect custom and with this particular trailer hitch style it is just a 2 1/2"x 2" 1/2" cut.

VERY easy to install. Took less than 30 minutes. Instructions were good. Common sense and logic goes a long way... Installed on a 2016 Nissan Versa Note.

Your product was as described, only issue I had was having to get a 4” lift receiver, because car sits so low. Bottom of scooter carrier was scraping at any incline. Not anything to do with your product just giving feedback.

by: William 07/29/2025

I'm having problem with getting a trailer rack to fit the 1 1/4" hitch. They don't make many that I can find.

by: John F 05/15/2020

The hitch and accessories made it to my house a day early. A little hard putting hitch into place because I have big hands and arms. Jack both sides up makes job a lot easier. Use safety measures so the car don't crush yourself. Pretty happy all worked as planned. I ordered wrong ball. My trailer is a old style TSC takes a 1 7/8 and I ordered a 2 inch ball. So everything else great. Now I have to worry about my car pulling a load and not ruining my transmission. I got it to haul 4wheeler and a load of water melons separate. So should work. Thanks

Great! I recieved item on time. Right before covid. The product took about 40 minutes to install and thats getting tools and reading instructions. I take it easy when pulling. So not to ruin transmission. Also abide by tounge weight. I suggest this product to anyone for their nissan hatchback pulling needs. Thanks

Bought the hitch to put on my car so I could use the bike carrier (the one that went to the old car wouldn't fit the current car) and maybe bicycle more often on the bike trail. I did bike more last summer than I am this summer (new job, new hours cut onto my biking enjoyment) but I'm sure the hitch is ready to go whenever I am available. I do not plan to pull anything heavier than the bike carrier with a couple of bikes on. It has meet my needs and desires.

So far we are very satisfied with the trailer hitch and this company. Ordering was easy. Shipping was free (always a plus). Very reasonable prices. Great instructions with pictures. Hitch and hardware seem very solid and hardy. Installation went exactly as it was supposed to and fit perfectly on my Versa Note. We have not put any load on the hitch as of yet but plan to purchase a hitch-mounted bike rack which shouldn't be too heavy so do not anticipate any problems.

The hitch arrived MUCH sooner than expected. Installation was super easy. My son and brother completed the installation in about half an hour. The hitch worked as expected. I used it to secure one of those hitch luggage racks for our trip to Florida. Exactly zero problems!!

2014 Nissan Versa Note

Received the hitch in 3-4 days; it was packed well and undamaged. The instructions were clear and installation was pretty simple. The most challenging part was cutting a hole in the underside of the bumper cover (it's a new car and I was a bit nervous about that). The measurements from the enclosed diagram were spot-on though, and I completed the whole process in less than 90 minutes.

The hitch works great. Had a place 10 minutes away that put it on in about 20 minutes. The wife uses it all the time for her bike. It is solid and holds the bike rake so you don't even know it is on the car. Being on a 2016 Versa Note I can't tow anything(per Nissan) but it works great for 2 bicycles.

Great fit. A little tight getting the second washer on passenger side. Used a little caulk to hold washer between hitch and frame and it went together fine.
Very pleased.

Everything is as advertised. The customer service was phenomenal. I accidently ordered a part that didn't fit with other parts I ordered and within an hour of ordering they called me to let me know and switch it with a part that did fit. It shipped super fast and I got it within 3 days of placing my order. FANTASTIC!

Hitch is very good quality. This hitch is probably stronger than any other part of my little car. Installation was simple.

by: CClaver 10/28/2022 One Year Later

The unit works well especially with my small car. It was easy to install all by my lonely self. The only thing is that the arm supports were not designed to fold down when not in use - but I can live with that.

I had a local garage install the hitch for me as I don't have a lift at the house. They were sceptical when I told them is was made for my vehicle and was just a bolt on. Well, it fit as designed was installed very quickly. Thank you for a good product.

Same. Find a way to eliminate the cutting of the bumper plastic and it would be 5 star.

How to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2015 Nissan Versa Note
The Curt hitch part # C11378 that you have is the only hitch available to fit you Versa Note. It is a Class I hitch. On a class one hitch you can't ever carry more than 2 bikes at a time as it can cause damage, like you are experiencing. Your car is not built to be able to handle the extra leverage caused by adding that third bike. While the extra weight is a factor, the biggest factor is the fact that third bike is place farther away from the vehicle. That distance causes too much...

Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Nissan Versa Note
There isn't a safe way to go from a Class I hitch to a Class III hitch. The adapters end up putting just too much stress on the hitch which can damage it and the vehicle. For carrying a bike rack with your 2014 Nissan Versa Note you would want to get a Class I compatible bike rack and the stabilizer strap # 18050 which is required by Curt. You would be able to carry a maximum of 2 bikes on a class one hitch even if the bike rack would hold more. The most popular bike rack we carry that...

Easiest Hitch Installation for 2017 Nissan Versa Note
The Curt # C11378 is the only hitch available for your 2017 Nissa Versa Note. It features a no-drill application, but it does require some fascia trimming. This Curt hitch offers a nice installed appearance, since its main cross tube will be hidden behind the rear fascia panel as shown in the linked photo. Instructions are included with the hitch, along with all of the required mounting hardware. I also included for you a complete installation video that gives you the step-by-step process....

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Nissan Versa Note
We have hitch fits for the 2018 Nissan Versa Note but they are totally different from the hitch fits for the non-Note models. The hitch I recommend is the Curt part # C11378. The Curt # C11378 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Nissan Versa Note. The hitches for a Versa Note are different than the hitches for a Versa. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

Installation of Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2016 Versa Note
When installing the trailer hitch receiver # C11378 on your 2016 Nissan Versa Note the charcoal canister is to be removed. Then you'll reinstall it after the hitch is installed. With the canister removed you should have enough room to get the hitch in place although it is still a rather tight fit.

Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Nissan Versa Note
I recommend the Curt hitch # C11378 as the towing capacity is 2,000 pounds and will have a maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds. It's corrosion resistant and the fully welded steel construction ensures great strength and durability. If you plan on doing any light duty towing, I recommend the ball mount # C45521 and a pin and clip # F-4, 2-inch hitch ball # 19258 or 1-7/8 hitch ball # 19256 and wiring by Tow Ready # 118582.

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Nissan Versa Note
The 2015 Nissan Versa Note takes different hitches than the regular Nissan Versa so # C11256 will not fit. Instead, you will need # C11378. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. You will need to use the stabilizer strap # 18050 when carrying bike racks or cargo carriers for extra...

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Nissan Versa Note
For your 2015 Nissan Versa Note there is only a Class I hitch available, the Curt # C11378. Hitches with 2 inch receivers are typically only seen on vehicles with higher towing capacities like trucks and SUVs. You wouldn't be able to use a wheelchair carrier with this hitch as they would weigh way too much. Using hitch adapters also cuts the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent as well. Using an adapter on your car would cause damage to the hitch, vehicle, and pose a safety hazard.

Can an Adapter be Used to Carry a Tailgator Grill with a 2" Shank with a 2014-2016 Nissan Versa Note
Since the you will be installing a Class I, 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receiver on your 2014-2016 Nissan Versa Note, you are correct that you will need an adapter. You can safely use an adapter, but you will need to know that there will be some extra play in the hitch receiver and your Tongue Weight (TW) capacity will be reduced by 50%. I recommend installing the Curt # C11378 which is a fit for all 3 year models of the Versa Note and has a TW capacity of 200 lbs. If you were to use the...

I have included a link to the installation instructions for you and a video of the install for you to see exactly what is entailed.

Is Drillling Required to Install Curt C11378 Hitches on 2014 Nissan Versa Note
Yes, installation of the Curt Class I hitch # C11378 on the 2014 Nissan Versa Note will require some modifications to the car. It won't require any drilling but will require some facia trimming. This process is not really unusual for hitch installation, but some vehicles do have hitches made for them that require no drilling and no trimming.

Is the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 a good fit for 2019 Versa Note?
For your 2019 Nissan Versa Note, I recommend starting with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11378 you referenced. This hitch has a 4 inch measurement from the hitch pin hole to the outermost part of the bumper. The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack - 1-1/4" Hitches - Tilting - Black # SH12B will be compatible. I personally like the Kuat Sherpa because of the wheel mounted hooks for no frame contact and a little more clearance from your bumper.

Will Curt Hitch C11378 Fit a 2014 Nissan Versa Note S
Curt trailer hitch # C11378 is listed as a fit for all models of the 2014 Nissan Versa Note so that means it would also fit the Versa Note S. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118582 which is also a confirmed fit. For a ball mount you would want the part # C45521 and pin and clip # F-4. For a 2-inch ball you would want the part # 19258 or for 1-7/8 inch ball part # 19256.
