It was easy to install, about one hour, and it fits perfect on my honda 2016, the best part: I was able to pull a uhaul trailer from Oregon to California (1000 miles ) with no issues am so glad I bought it from etrailer

Is an amazing tool for my honda, i have pulled a trailer more than 2000 miles and is solid as a rock great design anyone with a honda similar model should have one



by:

1 year later- 2018 Honda civic sedan install for a bike rack.
Great instructions, all parts needed included.
Get yourself a really good step bit, take it slow and easy. I couldn't get enough pressure so I used a floor jack on the back of the drill and that did the trick.



by:

This is everything I was looking for. I had it installed by a local garage and it has been perfect. After a year it still looks new and has made many trips with a bike rack attacked.



by:
2017HondaCivic

Super easy assembly and the instructions were great. Very solid.



by:

Excellent quality, totally worth it ! Hitched a trailer with a Jet Ski and never had a problem with it !



by:

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

Product still working as good as new. I would recommend this hitch

Solid and looks great! Can’t ask for a better fit. Tuck nicely under the rear bumper.

Seamless experience with quality product and easy installation! Looks great and stealthy on the vehicle.

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.

Great product. Very durable.



by:
2017HondaCivic

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.

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



by:

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.



by:
2016 HondaCivic

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.



by:

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.



by:
2016 HondaCivic

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:

hitch perfect and reasonably priced. all set to go biking!



by:

Great product works very well for my ne eds



by:

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:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Ordering / shipping was straightforward and a year in the hitch is still working perfectly with my bike rack. Would definitely recommend !



by:

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:

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:
2017HondaCivic

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.

  • Recommended Hitch and Hitch Expander for a 2018 Honda Civic Sedan
    Hey Robert, it looks like all of the hitches we have for a 2018 Honda Civic sedan are going to be class I 1 1/4" hitches like the Curt # C11604. You could still use this hitch theoretically with a hitch expander # HTAD which would convert your 1 1/4" hitch to a 2" hitch, but you'd loose half your capacity so depending on how much your rack and bikes weigh it could still be an option.

    Currently there are only class I receivers available for your 2017 Honda Civic. I have included all the receivers below as there are different ones depending on if you have a hatchback, sedan or coupe. All these cannot be used with a center mounted exhaust outlet. Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24954 (Coupe, Hatchback, Sedan) Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11604 (Sedan) Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C92UR (Coupe, Hatchback, Sedan) Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11463 (Coupe,...

  • Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Honda Civic Sedan
    I do have an option for you but there are not any class III, 2" trailer hitches for a 2016 Honda Civic. There are only class 1, 1-1/4" options like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11604 which is what I recommend using. That said, you can use an adapter like the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" part # e43YR or part # e93YR but just keep in mind, they reduce capacity so you're now limited to 100 lbs for the bikes and rack.

  • Which Ball Mount Fits Curt Class I Hitch for 2018 Honda Civic # C11604
    I have a ball mount solution that does fit the Curt hitch part # C11604 that you referenced but the Euro ball mounts like you mentioned only fit Class II and up hitches. Instead you'd need the # C45521 with hitch balls # A-82 for a 2 inch ball or part # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

  • Bike Rack Solution for 2017 Honda Civic to Carry 42 lb E-Bikes
    There 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.

  • What Size Drill Bits are Needed to Install Curt Hitch # C11604
    Hey Tami, so Curt recommends having a 1/4 and a 1/2 inch drill bit to install the Curt hitch part # C11604 so as long as you have both of those sizes you'll be able to install this. To enlarge the holes it's recommended to use a die grinder or a dremol.

  • Best Hitch And 4 Bike Platform Rack For 2017 Honda Civic Sedan
    I would agree a platform style would be your best bet for this style of bike frame. For a slim design hitch that hides the receiver tube, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C92UR is my recommendation. This hitch is more difficult to install than the Curt # C11604 which is also a confirmed fit but does not provide the same low-profile look. The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack in Gray # KU74FR will be a fine fit providing up to 40lbs of carrying capacity per bike and mounting tires...

  • Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer and Haul a Cargo Carrier With a 2016 Honda Civic Sedan
    Currently, a class I receiver like the Curt # C11604 that is rated for 200lbs of tongue weight and towing up to 2,000lbs is the only receiver available for your 2016 Honda Civic Sedan. There is not a receiver capable of supporting the weight of your Curt carrier fully loaded behind your Civic and this is most likely due to the structure under your Civic not being able to support the weight. The 19x47 Curt Cargo Carrier # C18110 will fit the class I receiver for your Civic. You will only...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2017 or 2018 Honda Civic Sedan EX-T
    The 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 or 2018 Honda Civic Sedan EX-T you will want the Curt # C11604 or the Curt # C92UR. Either option will work well with your bike rack. I attached a video of each of these hitches to help you decide which is right for you. Let me know if you have further questions.

  • Can a Bike Rack that Fits a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch be Used with a 2016 Honda Civic
    All 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 the Curt hitch # C92UR. They install differently...

  • Some Dimensions of Hitch C11604
    The 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.

  • Can Curt Hitch for 2018 Honda Civic Sedan Be Used for Vehicle Recovery
    The 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.

  • Installation of Curt Class I Trailer Hitch on 2016 Honda Civic Sedan
    The 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...

  • Solution to Carry 3 Bikes on a 2017 Honda Civic
    I 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...

  • Can 2016 Honda Civic EX-T Tow Small Sailboat Trailer
    I looked online and it looks like your 2016 Honda Civic is rated to tow a small trailer so with the Curt Hitch part # C11604 you'd easily be able to tow the sailboat trailer weight you mentioned. While we haven't towed with your vehicle we have installed this hitch on similar Civics to yours and it fit great. You will also need trailer wiring too like with the Curt # C56396 which installs by plugging inline with taillight connectors.

  • Does 2016 Honda Civic Sedan have to be on a Lift to Install Curt Trailer Hitch 11604
    A 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.

    We 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.

Both of these hitches are custom-fit for the vehicle they are designed to attach to, meaning they will use...

    The first thing to look at is the roof capacity of your vehicle. The combined weight of the rack, 2 kayak carriers, and a pair of 64 pound kayaks is a concern. I confirmed the roof capacity is 110 pounds on the 2018 Civic Sedan. A better option and my recommendation is carrying your 2 kayaks on a Malone MicroSport Trailer designed for 2 Kayaks # MPG461G2.
