Features to know about

Haul What You Need Without the Hassle: Class II Strength with 3,500 lbs GTW and 300 lbs TW

This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver gives you solid towing power for light trailers, small campers, or cargo carriers. Rated at 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 300 lbs tongue weight, it’s built for practical, everyday hauling without overkill. The sturdy, square-tube steel frame provides reliable strength when towing or carrying accessories like bike racks or storage trays. You can hook up a drawbar, ball mount, or hitch accessory and head out knowing the hitch is ready for real use.

Save Time on Install: Custom Fit with Bolt-On Mounting

You don’t need a lift or welding gear to get this one on. The hitch is custom fit for a precise alignment with factory holes, so installation is straightforward in a driveway with basic tools. Everything you need comes in the box — full hardware kit and detailed instructions. Since it’s a bolt-on design with no drilling required, you’ll spend less time under the vehicle and more time putting it to work.

Built to Last Through Weather and Road Grime: Gloss Black Powder Coat Finish

The fully welded steel construction is protected by a gloss black powder coat over a sturdy base layer, giving excellent rust resistance against rain and road salt. The finish keeps the hitch looking sharp while holding up to daily use and tough conditions. Once mounted, it blends in cleanly under the bumper but shows off that solid Curt build quality that feels dependable every time you tow.

Yippy



by:

I am very happy with the trailer parts I ordered. Thanks



by:

This was my second purchase of a custom hitch from this company. I highly recommend
them.



by:

Easy install, went up without a hitch! Oh, er, well... it was difficult to start the bolts in the unused bolt holes until I used the original bolts that had a thread cutter notch. Job done in less than an hour!



by:

I have not installed the curt hitch yet. However, I have purchased curt products from
etrailer before and the quality is superior to other brands. etrailer is the place to buy; great prices and fast delivery



by:

There's a lot of tight spaces to install this hitch. It's a great product, but needs a better set of instructions. Like loosen bumper boots and clean out the unused bolt holes to be sure you don't spend 2 days trying to get the new bolts in. Other than those items is recommend dropping your exhaust to make sure you don't cut your arms. Good product otherwise.



by:

Perfect fit. Good instructions. This is the second set of hitch and wiring harness kits I have installed. Etrailor, your 2 for 2!



by:

Nice heavy duty product. Feels like quality. The welding process had curved the uprights slightly inward so that they were to tight to fit the frame. A quick measurement and visual inspection found the culprit. A few blows with a sledge spread the flanges the additional 3/8th inch needed. It then fit like a glove, all holes and bolts worked well. Looks great and seems very strong. I recommend this product! I bolted a bike rack directly to the drawbar.



by:

I had never heard of etrailer before, and was ready to buy a class 1 Draw tite hitch on [line] for $xxx more, but because it was back ordered I looked elsewhere and found this one for less money and class 2 rating I gave it a shot. It got here in 2 days and was exactly as described. color me impressed. I dont know how they can offer all this for so much less than [online store], and as they say - if its sounds to good to be true, it probably is. But I got to have my cake and eat it too here.

it really is what it said it was. it really was the best price i found. and it really got to me by the date advertised.

I'm definitely keeping this place in mind for anything else i need trailer related. I'm shocked (in a good way).



by:

Installed this hitch to pull a small 8ft x 5ft trailer on my compact car, 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander. The hitch has done great, I basically installed and forgot about it. No problems what so ever. Installed myself with the help of a friend.
Would recommend this product to anybody looking to put something on a compact.



by:

Wow. Outstanding team you have there at etrailer! They promptly responded and sent the missing hardware that must have fell out in shipping immediately. Keep it up!

  • Recommended Hitch Receiver For 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander To Tow A UTV
    For your 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander, I recommend the Curt Class II Receiver Hitch, # C12293. This hitch receiver has a 3500 lb towing weight and a 300 lb tongue weight which is the highest tongue weight available for your vehicle. The tongue weight is the amount of weight that the trailer coupler puts on the ball of your hitch. Typically this is 10-15% of the total towing weight of the trailer. I've attached an article that outlines how to determine trailer tongue weight. This hitch...

  • Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with a 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander
    The trailer hitch receiver with the highest capacity for your 2005 Mitsubishi Outlander is the Curt Class II # C12293. It bolts onto the Outlander's frame with no drilling and includes all the necessary hardware. Then to power the trailer's lights use # C55565 for a wiring harness. It plugs into the Outlander's wiring behind the side panels in the rear cargo area. You have to remove the plastic vent covers to access the connection points. See the picture I attached for the locations. You'll...

  • Any Additional Support Needed For Hauling Scooter and Power Lift on CURT 1-1/4 Inch Hitch # 12293
    The maximum tongue weight for the CURT Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 12293, on your 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander is 300 lbs. With the total weight of the scooter and the power lift at 208 lbs, it will work as far as weight capacity. It is required by the manufacturer (CURT) to use a stabilizing strap like the CURT Strap with Cambuckle, part # 18050, to stabilize any non-trailer load on your CURT hitch. This strap attaches to your vehicle and to your hitch accessory, like the power lift,...

  • Hitch Recommendation for a 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Rack on a 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander
    I can help you figure out which hitch and bike rack you will need to support your 4-bike capacity on your 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander. You are correct, a Class I hitch is only capable of supporting the weight of 2 bikes, even if the bike rack is a 4-bike because your limited by your lowest rated capacity which would be your hitch. I would recommend going with the Class II Curt # C12293 over the Class I Hidden Hitch # 60824. The Curt Class II will give you a maximum of 300lbs tongue weight...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
    First thing you'll need for your 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander is a trailer hitch like the Curt hitch part # C12293 which is a confirmed fit and will work well. Next you'll need trailer wiring. Which for that you'd want the # C55565 which is a confirmed fit too. For a ball mount you'd then want the part # 3591 and for hitch balls part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball and part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

  • How Much of the CurtTrailer Hitch # C12293 is Visible on a 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander
    At this time we do not have any hitches with hidden crosstubes fir your Mitsubishi Outlander. The only hitch that we have available is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12293. With this hitch you would see the crosstube and the receiver portion of the trailer hitch. If you plan on doing any light towing, then I would recommend picking up a few more items to complete your towing set up. You will need a wiring harness # C55565, and the Curt Towing Starter...

    The only hitche available for the 2004 Mitsubishi Outlander is the Class II trailer hitches # C12293. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.
