This Curt trailer hitch opens up light-duty towing and hauling options with a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening. Rated for 2,000 lbs gross trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight, it’s ideal for small trailers, cargo carriers, or two-bike racks. The Class I design gives you the strength and stability you need for everyday use without adding bulk or weight to your vehicle.
You don’t need specialized tools or a lift to install this hitch. The bolt-on design uses factory mounting points, so there’s no welding required. Every hitch comes with a complete hardware kit and detailed installation instructions, making it manageable even if you’re working in your driveway. The precision robotic welding ensures the hitch lines up correctly for a clean, secure fit.
The hitch is made from fully welded steel for durability on the road. A gloss black powder coat is layered over a protective base coat to resist rust and corrosion from rain or road salt. That glossy finish keeps it looking sharp while protecting the welds and tubing underneath through years of towing or carrying gear.
If you care about how your setup looks from behind, the round-tube design gives this hitch a finished appearance instead of an industrial one. The visible cross tube sits neatly under the bumper for a balanced look that blends in instead of standing out. It’s a solid, compact setup that adds function without cluttering up the rear of your vehicle.

Thank you for the great review! We're so glad to hear the rack was easy to install and that your wife has been getting so much use out of it. It's always great to know it's making it easy to bring the bike along wherever the adventure leads. Thanks for the recommendation, and happy riding!

Superior. I love it, its well hidden and works great. I just wish my vehicle had more ground clearance, but thats not the hitches issue.

Im looking to buy the same car you have and need to carry two bikes. Do you have a lot of sway when bikes are mounted?

I do carry 2 bikes sometimes and the only sway is due to my rack not being the sturdiest when it is pulled tight with the strap. but the sway is minimal, maybe 1/2-1 inch

Install looks great Jared! 45 minutes too, that pit stop speed! What kind of bike rack do you have, and where do you mainly go riding. We have the Katy Trail here in Missouri. I am trying to get a trip together for mid October where I will ride the whole 240 miles. Planning on 6 days 5 nights of camping, and no more than 50 miles a day.... I can do this!
