Excellent quality, totally worth it ! Hitched a trailer with a Jet Ski and never had a problem with it !
by: Nick04/23/2022
I have owned this product for one year. Product fit and durability has been excellent! I have recommended e-trailer products to a couple of friends, and they are all happy, too! Thank you for offering excellent aftermarket products, along with supporting materials! The installation videos are key.

Purchased 1 year ago. I bought this to install on my honda civic so I could put a bike rack on the back for trips. I've only done this a few times throughout the year but never any issues. I like etrailer's website for showing pictures of the products on your specific vehicle because I know next to nothing about cars and car parts. The customer service is definitely above the norm and I would purchase from etrailer again
by: David 07/19/2022
Hitch fit my car perfectly. Performs exactly as expected. Great hitch a customer service.

I ordered this hitch , and I don’t remember seeing it specific civic coupe or sedan . I got this hitch installed and it wouldn’t fit . Had to cut off muffler and put a new smaller one on .
by: Thai02/01/2021
Solid and looks great! Can’t ask for a better fit. Tuck nicely under the rear bumper.
by: Elijah02/10/2022
I haven't installed it yet, but I got this simply because they have a fantastic video tutorial of it. It seems like great quality (from what little I know of trailer hitches) and I'm looking forward to getting her hooked!
by: Keith 12/13/2021
I have ordered many hitches from this company b/c my wife gets company cars and we only have them a couple of years. So about every 2/3 years I have to get another hitch for my bike rack. I have always been pleased with the products and have yet to find a better price point. I recommend this company if you need a hitch.

Great delivery time. Shipped to my house within 2-days of placing the order. I actually drove back home to get it and install it with a family member, it shipped so fast.
Only issue I had was not with quality, but with DRILLING THE HOLES THROUGH METAL during the installation.
You NEED SPECIAL DRILL BITS - COBALT COATED DRILL BITS to drill through the metal/steel frame on the underside of my Honda Civic.
Once we got the right drill bits, the rest of the installation went pretty fast.
The DIRECTIONS on ETRAILER and CURT'S website did not say you needed cobalt drill bits to drill through steel on the underside of the car.
Other than that, great product. Waiting for my bike rack to arrive so I can use the hitch.
Comments
Great product. Very durable.

2017 Honda Civic
Very solid hitch. It took me about 1.5 hours but was not that hard to install. The cold bothered me more than the work. The frame on the Honda is pretty hard, so getting the first holes through was interesting. After that things went smoothly. The step drill is a necessity. Also a good drill is needed. I put the rear of the car on ramps and this provided plenty of clearance to drill holes. I used a car jack to hold the hitch in place to mark location and then when finally installing. The fish wires worked perfectly, really a great addition.
Instructions and video were excellent.

Great, Daughter uses it to attach a bike carrier and haul her bike around
Bob Z - 01/06/2019by: Sebastian 08/12/2021
This hitch receiver has treated me very well. After a year of regular use with a bike rack, it has held up very well. It also looks great. Installation was simple and did not take very long.

Its always been very good and happy with this hitch after a year. Great product...

2016 Honda Civic
Great product, have used it often and appreciate the quality.
It would be nice if you offered a tool to cut through tempered steel.
On my 2016 Honda Civic, the frame steel where the back holes ( nearest to the bumper) of the hitch mount is tempered steel. I had to use a stone grinding wheel to cut those holes. The front holes drilled with a standard bit.

Awesome Hitch, perfect for the bike rack and 2 bikes I'm pulling made my life easier knowing i can secure my bikes to something for travel without damaging my trunk or the bikes. The company itself has tons of great reviews and I only came here on a recommendation but after see the step by step tutorial on installation I was all in and ordered the same day. Have not regretted it, going on almost a month now. So hyped! You'll hear me rave to the next one looking for a hitch about this company!
by: George10/23/2018
Just finished installing the tow receiver, which, for one person, was fairly easy. The installation took about 45 minutes, but I had a couple of problems. The first problem with the installation occurred when I was only given three carriage bolts, instead of four. So, I had to go to the hardware store to get one, but they didn’t have any, because they are 7/16” and the store only had 3/8” & 1/2”, so I went with the 3/8” and then adapted the fish wire to accept it. Other than that, the installation went smoothly. I then installed my bike rack and went for a quick drive and found it was super sturdy, without any wobble.
by: Elisa03/08/2022
Literally, could not be happier. Had it a year now and love it.
by: J.P.B01/28/2017
Great Hitch and very easy to install for the do it yourself person. I use the hitch for my bike rack only as the vehicle does not recommend pulling a trailer. I'm considering buying a new vehicle and I will be a repeat customer.

I am very happy with the trailer hitch. I purchased the hitch to carry my two bicycles. The hitch fit perfectly on my 2016 Honda Civic. I could not be happier.

Ordering / shipping was straightforward and a year in the hitch is still working perfectly with my bike rack. Would definitely recommend !
by: William08/15/2019
2017 Honda Civic
The trailer fits perfectly to my Honda Civic.
One thing to keep in mind is to use brand new drill bits, because it is hard to get them through the frame, but once that is done everything else is pretty easy.
by: Neil07/20/2019
My mechanic installed (because that's why they're in business). Already used with the bike rack, design good so the truck clears when opening..

- Curt Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Honda Civic SedanI checked with Curt and they list the # C11604 now as a fit for the 2018 Honda Civic Sedan like you have so it would fit and work well.
view full answer... - Does 2016 Honda Civic Sedan have to be on a Lift to Install Curt Trailer Hitch 11604A lift is not required to install Curt trailer hitch # C11604 on a 2016 Honda Civic sedan. It would make it easier but it isn't a necessity. Jacking up the rear of the vehicle, rolling it up on some ramps, using jack stands, any of these will give you enough space to install the hitch. I have linked a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Honda Civic SedanFor your 2016 Honda Civic the Curt Hitch part # C11604 has been confirmed as a fit and would work great for you. This hitch was just released and is brand new.
view full answer... - Dimensions of the Curt C11604 Hitch for a 2016 Honda CivicI made a diagram that will show the dimensions of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C11604 on your 2016 Honda Civic. This hitch is confirmed to fit the Sedan model. I have attached an installation video.

- Some Dimensions of Hitch C11604The main tube is 34.03” long and from hole to hole is 3.73” center to center for the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11604. This hitch will fit 2016 - 2018 Honda Civic sedans without a center exhaust but nothing else.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2018 Honda Civic Sedan with Dual ExhaustFor your 2018 Honda Civic sedan with dual exhaust, the Curt # C11604 is not a confirmed fit. The only trailer hitch receiver we have that is confirmed to fit your vehicle at this time is the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24954. This is a Class I hitch that will only be compatible with Class I rated accessories. The Curt # C11604 is only confirmed to fit 2016 and 2017 models. Pour votre Honda Civic 2018 à double échappement, le Curt # C11604 n'est pas un ajustement confirmé....
view full answer... - Will a Trailer Hitch Fit a 2017 Honda Civic EX-T with Honda Sensing TechnologyLooking at the graphics and info about the Sensing technology on the Honda website it does not appear that there are any sensors or equipment at the rear of the vehicle that would interfere with the installation of a trailer hitch on your 2017 Honda Civic. Also, Curt does not have any restrictions for hitch # C11604 other than it was designed specifically for sedan models and will not fit models with center exhaust. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you. If...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Honda Civic LX 4 DoorThere is only one Curt hitch that fits your 2018 Honda Civic sedan and it's the Curt hitch part # C11604. I would actually recommend the Draw Tite part # 24954 instead though for your vehicle because it does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack and because only the hitch tube hangs down below the rear bumper so it is much less visible.

- Will Warranty be Voided by Installing Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2016 Honda CivicWhen you install an aftermarket part on your vehicle like a trailer hitch in this case, you are protected by the Magnuson–Moss Warranty Act. This act states, in part, that unless the installation and the part caused a problem then the warranty cannot be voided. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11604 is confirmed to fit your 2016 Honda Civic sedan. I've linked an install video for you. If you're going to be towing a trailer you'll also need a ball mount, hitch ball, pin and clip, and...
view full answer... - Installation of Curt Class I Trailer Hitch on 2016 Honda Civic SedanThe Curt Class I hitch you've looked at, part # C11604 would work perfectly for carrying a bike rack and two bikes on your 2016 Honda Civic Sedan. Drilling will be required to install the hitch, but as you can see from the installation instructions that I've linked for you, the installation isn't terribly difficult. The # 18050 stabilizing strap would hook into the gap at the top of the trunk lid, just behind the rear windshield. If you look at the video I've linked for you, you can see...
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount Recommendation for Use with Curt Hitch on 2018 Honda CivicThe problem is that Class I hitches like what you have require you to only use the recommended ball mount for that hitch. This is due to the lower capacity of the hitch not being rated for added leverage of a higher or lower ball mount. With the Curt hitch part # C11604 that you referenced you have to use the # C45521 which has a 2-5/8 inch rise.
view full answer... - Solution to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2017 Honda CivicI have an alternative solution for you, but the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11604 will not allow you to carry a 3 bike rack. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11604 is a Class 1 hitch and Class 1 hitches can only carry up to 2 bikes. The reason Class 1 hitches can not carry more than 2 bikes is that they cannot handle the additional torque on the frame from the 3rd-4th bike. Instead you can use the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack # SA803. This is a trunk mount style of bike rack that will...
view full answer... - Can Curt Hitch for 2018 Honda Civic Sedan Be Used for Vehicle RecoveryThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11604 is an excellent easy to install option for a 2018 Honda Civic Sedan. It could then be used for vehicle recovery within reason, snow should be fine but mud on the other hand could create too much force for the hitch to handle. I recommend using the Bulldog Winch 3/4" Shackle for 1-1/4" Hitches part # BDW20239 for an attachment point.
view full answer... - Will the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11604 Fit a 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback EX-NavThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11604 is designed to fit the Sedan model of the 2017 Honda Civic and is not compatible with your hatchback. For a Curt trailer hitch that is confirmed to fit your hatchback you would need the part # C11463. There is a design difference between the 2 and if you check out the installation videos that I linked you can clearly see why one would fit the hatchback over the other. Lifts do make installing any trailer hitch easier but if you are comfortable working...

The instructions, linked for reference, simply state "Bumper trimming: using a die grinder remove the material shown in Figure 2. Both sides as needed." Figure 2 is the picture I have included and the area is shown with white dotted lines. The alternative is to use Curt hitch # C11463 for a coupe or # C11604 for the sedan. These hitches install differently. But with either of these...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch and Installer for 2016 Honda CivicWe do not currently have an approved list of mechanics/shops for installing a trailer hitch on your vehicle, however any local mechanic with a good reputation will be able to handle the installation without issue. For your 2016 Honda Civic, I recommend going with the Curt Class I Receiver Hitch # C11604 if you have a Sedan model, or the Curt Class I # C11463 if you have the Coupe. Both of these hitches are custom-fit for the vehicle they are designed to attach to, meaning they will use...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 or 2018 Honda Civic Sedan EX-TThe Curt trailer hitch receiver # C11391 is not a fit for a 2017 or 2018 Honda Civic. That hitch only fit 2006 to 2015 model years. For a 2017 Honda Civic Sedan EX-T you will want the Curt # C11604 which is not yet a confirmed fit for 2018. For a confirmed fit for both the 2017 and 2018 models, I recommend the Draw-Tite # 24954. Either option will work well with your bike rack. Let me know if you have further questions.
view full answer... - Will Curt Trailer Hitch Interfere with MagnaFlow Exhaust on a 2017 Honda CivicWhile there should not be any interference between the Curt trailer hitch ( # C11604 or # C11463 ) on your 2017 Honda Civic and the MagnaFlow exhaust # MF19312 it is possible something may need to be moved a little. If you notice any contact or exhaust rattle there are ways to fix that issue. I have included a link to our help article that explains how to correct that issue if you end up having that problem. The good news is that it may not even be a problem and if it is the fixes are pretty...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Solution for 2017 Honda Civic to Carry 42 lb E-BikesThere aren't any trunk mounted bike racks that will have the capacity you are needing. Trunk racks pretty much max out at 35 lbs per bike. So you'd need to go with a hitch mounted solution like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202. Then for a hitch you'd want the part # C11463 for if you have a hatchback or coupe or part # C11604 for if you have a sedan.
view full answer... - Can a Bike Rack that Fits a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch be Used with a 2016 Honda CivicAll of the trailer hitches for the 2016 Honda Civic are going to be Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. In order to use your 2 inch bike rack you would have to use an adapter, # HTAD. However, doing so will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent meaning the combined weight of the bike rack and bikes cannot exceed the reduced capacity. There are a couple of hitches that fit your Civic; Curt hitch # C11604, and Draw-Tite hitch # 24954. They install differently...
view full answer... - Tips for Routing a Trailer Wiring Harness Power Wire on a 2015 Honda CivicThe rear seats in your 2015 Honda Civic likely fold down so I would route the wiring harness power wire up behind the left rear seat then tuck it beneath any paneling/trim, under the threshold plate at the floor of the doorway, behind the trim of the B-pillar between the front and rear seats, under the front door threshold, behind the driver's side kick panel, and through the firewall into the engine compartment. To keep the wire hidden it will likely have to take a lot of twists and turns...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for Bike Rack Use on 2017 Honda Civic SedanA trailer hitch can be installed on your vehicle by a qualified mechanic without difficulty; they are installed with relatively few tools so if there is a local mechanic you trust or one that has a solid reputation you know of it will not be a difficult or time-consuming job; roughly a half-hour or so. The hitch I recommend for your 2017 Honda Civic is the Curt # C11604 because it will not require fascia trimming on your car the way the Draw-Tite option does. Both of the hitch options...
