Features to know about

Bring Along More Gear: Class I 1-1/4" Hitch for Light Towing and Everyday Hauling

This Curt trailer hitch receiver adds real utility without overdoing it. With a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening, a 2,000 lb maximum gross trailer weight rating, and 200 lb tongue weight, it’s built for light-duty towing, small trailers, or hitch-mounted accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers. The square-tube design keeps everything sturdy and stable, so you can haul your gear or tow a small camper with confidence.

Install It Yourself in the Driveway: Bolt-On Design with Included Hardware

You don’t need welding equipment or a lift to get this hitch in place. The bolt-on installation uses factory attachment points and comes with all the hardware you need. Many folks install it in their driveway using basic tools and a simple step-by-step process. Once tightened down, the precision robotic welds line up perfectly for a secure fit that’s ready to work.

Keep It Looking Good: Gloss Black Powder Coat Over Protective Base

Built from fully welded steel, this hitch has a gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat that resists rust and corrosion. It holds up against road grime and moisture while maintaining a clean look under the bumper. The visible cross tube design blends strength with utility, giving you a solid mount that still looks neat after years of use.

Ready for Multiple Uses: Works with Ball Mounts and Hitch Accessories

Whether you’re towing a lightweight trailer or carrying bikes to the trailhead, this hitch is ready for common towing setups. The receiver accepts standard Class I ball mounts, bike racks rated for Class I use, or small cargo platforms. Drawbar, pin, and clip are sold separately, so you can pick the right combo for your setup instead of being locked into one option.

Its a great hitch, especially for the money. The quality is spot on.
It has been rattling against my muffler, and I took it into a shop that said it is a clearance issue. I don't know if anyone else has been experiencing the same issue, but its highly annoying. Great hitch otherwise.

The build quality of this hitch is great I liked the weight it had and really like the line they give you to fish the bolts through the frame. It did not take long to install the steps were very easy to follow as well. The only problem I had was the coating on it. I work for a powder coat shop and when I prepped it for coating there were some sections that the coating came of easily. But other than that I love this thing and can't wait to make stuff to use with this.

Great product. Fitment is spot on. I did this installation alone with no problems. Didn’t even remove my aftermarket exhaust. Took about an hour and a half; including lugging up all the tools necessary. And it supports all 250 lbs of me bouncing on it, with no creaks or stress.

I had to remove the hitch from my car because it was too close to the exhaust and made too much noise from vibration when driving.

Rachael H.

8/21/2019

We do have a help article that is designed to help elevate the noise form a hitch and exhaust rattle that I have linked for your reference. In an ideal situation the hitch and exhaust should not be in contact and there should not be any noise, but there are a couple of adjustments that can be made to avoid this. Sounds like you do have a solution, and if you wish to install your hitch again, please be advised that the hardware is intended to be torqued to spec, and should be only be used for one installation. If you need to re-install your hitch please consider using replacement hardware. We do sell replacement hardware for our hitches as part # RHK, just enter your hitch number and manufacturer.

This trailer mount is well built and very solid. It is a little difficult to put on without a lift but I put the rear of my car up on jack stands and dropped the exhaust down. It was difficult to put the mount bolts through the holes and had to cut notches in the frame to accommodate getting them fed into the mount holes. Took about 1 1/2 hours to install.

by: Matt 08/27/2019

2018 Subaru WRX

This is not as easy to install with the stock WRX exhaust, FYI. In the etrailer.com video the install is done on a car with an aftermarket muffler delete which leaves a ton of room to work.
Also, once installed, the hitch itself hits the exhaust hangers on the stock exhaust and causes quite a rattle. I will have to drop the exhaust again and do a slight modification to the hitch to clearance for the exhaust hanger closest to the rear bumper... I did everything I could to try to move the exhaust on the hangers and the hitch on its mounting hardware and there was no way to get it to not touch.
Not awesome, but still not a terrible install and definitely one of the cheaper options for the car, so I guess you get what you pay for.

It sounds like you may have already tried these things, but I have attached a help article on correcting hitch rattle for you. I cannot recommend modifying the trailer hitch because that will void the hitch warranty and may compromise the structural integrity of the hitch. Another hitch option for your WRX, the EcoHitch # 306-X7257, installs higher on the vehicle and is designed to hug the spare tire compartment, sitting further away from the exhaust system. Ive attached an installation video of the EcoHitch being installed on a WRX with a full exhaust system for reference.

It rattles. I followed the instructions to a "t" and watched the install vid about 5 times. The install vid was great. It took me and my wife and I about three hours to get it installed ourselves. We made sure to tighten everything down, torque the flange nuts to specs, etc. But it rattles. They should not advertise this hitch as being compatible with the WRX, as it's clearly not. Not sure what my next steps will be.

You mentioned in your review that it is rattling and I wanted to let you know that this can be a common occurrence. It is most likely rattling because the hitch is rattling against the exhaust and there is a fix for that. Please see the FAQ below. It gives information on how to prevent the rattling.

I opted for this hitch over the more expensive eco hitch. Well, that was a mistake. It has a terrible fit. Probably got under the car 5 or 6 times to try shaving the hitch down for more clearance, but in the end there was always an issue with something rattling or banging. Save yourself the time and money and just get the ecohitch, or you'll wish you did.

You mentioned that you are experiencing rattling or banging underneath the vehicle. Is it that that the hitch is rattling against the exhaust? If that is the case, we do have a FAQ that helps. Please see the FAQ link below:

by: Randall 03/21/2019

2016 Subaru WRX

Overall the design intention is there. It's well made as far as assembly goes. It's very poorly designed in terms of clearance with other parts, namely the dual exhaust setup on the WRX. I don't understand how people could mention rattling and still give this unit 4 or 5 stars? It is unbelievably annoying. I have adjusted my mufflers and the hitch itself a number of times now yet it still rattles like crazy. I even purchased aftermarket exhaust hangers for the mufflers hoping they would tighten up how they hang and keep them away from the hitch but it doesn't matter, it still rattles like crazy. It's pretty embarrassing riding around in this pristine $30k car and having a distinct rattling noise come from the rear of the vehicle EVERY time you start, downshift or get to about 3k rpms while decelerating. I would DEFINITELY NOT buy this product again if I was in the market. I guess you get what you pay for, should have gone with the eco hitch but then again I think that's too expensive for what it is.

As a side note. I don't recommend cutting into the frame rail like the directions tell you to just to install the included hardware. You risk the chance of corrosion or moisture and salt getting in the frame rail because you'll never seal it right after you cut it/enlarge the opening. If you remove the bumper (Which takes less than 5 minutes) and then the bumper support bar (8 bolts) you can just install the hardware (Metal plates and bolts) in the end of the frame rail, no cutting at all.

The installation was about as expected from the instructions. Dropping the exhaust was very easy once I used a good deal of WD40. Also, it was very easy to support the muffler with a floor jack and a tie-down strap as back-up. I used a 1" hole saw and tin snips to trim the heat shield; this was fairly stress free. To enlarge the access holes for the hardware I just drilled small holes in 2 places for each side and cleaned it up with a file. The fish-wire procedure was amazingly easy and worked just as noted in the instructions - the first try with each of the 4 sets of hardware.

I'm very happy with the final installation. The hitch fits perfectly up underneath the rear fascia and generally looks good. I have had other good experiences with eTrailer hitches in the past.

This is the third hitch I have purchased from etrailer and installed. The hitch and accessories arrived in great shape and look good once installed. The installation was not as easy as I was led to believe via the description and instructions. The instructions and the related video say that the holes on the frame “may need to be enlarged”. This is an understatement! The holes on the 2014 impreza are about ½ inch and need to be 1 inch! Save yourself some time and get a 1 inch step drill bit for $30-$40. I also removed the muffler completely before the install which ended up being a good decision. It came off pretty easy and without the muffler in the way it was very easy to remove the heat shield in order to drill the hole for the bolt. For the hole in the heat shield I used a 1 ½ hole saw for a nice clean hole. Total time to install was about 2.5 hours.

Overall I like the trailer hitch. The paint has been chipping away which is causing the metal underneath to rust. I believe a better type of paint, or changing the process in which the paint is applied would help.

Heather A.

1/16/2019

Rust will sometimes form from moisture in the air and salt on the roads. If rust has started to form you can take fine sandpaper and sand it off as much as possible then cover that spot with a rustoleum type of paint. It is a good idea to check over the hitch for any scratches or deep gauges and paint over these areas to prevent future rust issues. I have attached a help article about preventing rust.

I've had this hitch on my 2017 WRX for over a year now. The hitch install was relatively easy and quick. It lost a star for noise. I had to do a bit of adjusting and modifications to make the hitch bounce less to reduce noise. It's also rusting a bit, but that might be to blame on the Michigan salty roads during the winter.

Have bought/used your products before though this time I found the added weight of the product alone caused the car to right too heavy. When adding the bike rack and bikes the car felt unbalanced. This car had only 25k miles on it and well cared for so it wasn't the car's suspension. Removed the product. I still trust and respect your company and will likely buy again at sometime.

Fits For Trailer Hitch on 2022+ Subaru WRX & 2015-2021 Subaru WRX
Hello Nathan, Yes, the fits have been tested and verified with the manufacturer, Curt, which I just double-checked for you. The correct trailer hitch for the 2022+ Subaru WRX is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C84ZV. The fit for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX is part # C11408.

Weight of EcoHitch 306-X7257 Class III Receiver Hitch
Including the mounting hardware kit, the EcoHitch # 306-X7257 which is a fit for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX weighs just under 40 lbs. If a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening would work for you, and you feel that the # 306-X7257 would be too heavy, the Curt Class I, part # C11408 weighs about 10 lbs less, at just shy of 30 lbs. The weight of either hitch shouldn't have any affect on the vehicle's performance or handling. I've linked to installation videos for both hitches mentioned...

Solution for Bike Rack that Doesnt Want to Fit All the Way Into a Class I Trailer Hitch
Sounds like you have attempted to install a Class II bike rack in a Class I hitch. This is a common issue. The Class I hitches have a weld stop installed in them to prevent this so that you don't overload the hitch and damage it. Check the hitch tube to see if there's what looks like a weld splatter that's preventing the rack from sliding in. What you need is a Class 1 rack.

Best Way of Carrying Motorcycle on 2015 Subaru Impreza
The only hitches available for a 2015 Subaru Impreza are a Class I, which would lack the tongue weight capacity to handle the weight of your bike plus a hitch mounted carrier. Typically this happens when it's determined that the under body structure of the vehicle isn't capable of handling weight in excess of 200 lbs. Your best bet would be to install a hitch and use a small trailer. For the 5 door wagon with a single exhaust, I'd recommend the Curt # C11286 and the Tekonsha # 118573 wiring...

Can I Open Trunk On 2016 Subaru Impreza With Trunk Mount Bike Rack
The Thule Passage 2 Bike Carrier part # TH910XT uses the hatch of the 2016 Subaru Impreza Sedan to attach to the vehicle so you would not be able to open the hatch with the bike rack on the vehicle.

When it comes to towing, you are always going to be bound by the component with the lowest capacity so even though the hitch can handle more weight, your vehicle can not.

Troubleshooting Exhaust Rattle on 2017 Subaru WRX with Curt Hitch Installed
That's a bummer you are getting exhaust noise. Vehicle manufacturers have enough variance in the way they make their exhaust systems and how they hang them that sometimes the hitch clearance is too tight. Best option is to check out the exhaust and hitch clearance to see where the interference is and either bend the hanger mount slightly to give more clearance or use a different exhaust hanger.

I do have an option for you but the EcoHitch Invisi Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7211 is only listed as a fit for the hatchback (5-door) models of the 2012 Subaru Impreza and will not work on your sedan (4-door) model. For your sedan we have two options for you which are the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch part # C11408 and the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Receiver Hitch part # 24960. The Curt and Draw-Tite options are both Class I hitches with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. They do...

Does Exhaust Need to Be Lowered To Install Trailer Hitch on 2015 Subaru WRX
I'm assuming you're wondering if the exhaust of the 2015 Subaru WRX needs to be altered in order to install the Curt Class I trailer hitch, part # C11408, is that correct? According to the instructions, which you can look over by clicking the provided link, the exhaust will need to be temporarily lowered out of the way during installation, and the heat shield will be temporarily removed so a small hole can be cut in it. If you'll be towing with your WRX, you'll also need the following...

Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Subaru WRX
Yes, I spoke with my contact at Curt and the Curt Hitch part # C11408 that you referenced has been confirmed to fit the 2015 Subaru WRX so it will work for you. The hitch will hang below the rear bumper when installed. I attached a picture that shows this hitch installed as well. For a ball mount you would want part # C45521, 1-7/8 inch hitch ball # 19256, 2 inch hitch ball # 19258. For trailer wiring you would want the part # C56259.
