Confirm fits with a 2024 Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE. This is my 4th hitch that I’ve bought through etrailer.com and I’ve been extremely satisfied every single time. I’m by no means a professional at putting hitches on but this one took me just under an hour to install by myself. The video that etrailer provides of the installation was very helpful as usual. It’s always nice to have an actual visual of the installation before going at it yourself. During the installation I did leave the lower plastic on the car as there was plenty of space to get the hitch and bumper rail into place. It would’ve been helpful to have another person helping out with the install when mounting the hitch and bumper rail together but once I was able to get one bolt started it was easy to finish the rest. I will continue to give etrailer.com my business whenever I need a new hitch for my vehicle. Very satisfied with everything. Love the nice clean fit of the hitch to the vehicle.
Hitch has done it's job well. Attachement was more time consuming because of my inexperience, but by following the instructions from etrailer I have never had an issue or indication of risk with the hitch.
Fits perfect. Took a little while to get it on, but for someone with zero mechanical knowledge, it worked out well. Clear instructions and has been able to hold me bike racks without issue.

That's awesome to hear, Andrew! This hitch isn't just an easy bolt on and go so I'm glad the instructions were clear so that you could get it on to be able to take your bikes out. What kind of bike do you have?
Fits 2025 Toyota Carolla hatch XSE. Installed by myself, just had to get creative with zip ties to keep the hitch and grey bar aligned. Once I put bolts on each side I removed the zip ties. everything was pretty easy from there.
Drove two bicycles from East Calais Vermont to the ferry to Peaks Island Maine — out of Portland — and all stayed copesetic. That is all we need, no? Here's a picture of test load, No. 1.

Sounds like you had a great first ride with the bikes, Reese! I've head many great things about Vermont and Maine but haven't made it over there yet. Do you have any recommended places to go?
Hitch fits exactly as shown in the pictures and excellent video tutorial. Great hitch at a good price. On my scale it weighs 24lbs if you are curious. Perfect hitch for a bike rack and stays neatly tucked out of the way when not in use.
Really great product! Installation was simple (but definitely need two sets of hands) and it looks great! My hitch mount bike rack works perfectly and I've now made my car much more versatile!
Bought the hitch and Curt 2 bike rack for my 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback. I like the hitch because when installed, it is hardly noticeable because it is flush with the rear. I especially appreciate the detailed video of an installation.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the same luck with the bike rack. The shank was missing from the box. I called and was told it would be shipped within 24 hours. It wasn't shipped for 4 days. It made it to me just in time for my departure on a long trip. Too much stress waiting for the missing part.
This hitch fit my corolla hatchback like a glove. Awesome fit and finish. I’m using a 1/4 to 2inch adapter to fit my Thule 2inch bike rack. The adapter had a bit too much wiggle for my liking so I ordered hitch clamps to keep everything from moving. Everything is now super solid couldn’t be any happier with the outcome.
Also, during installation I would recommend take the actual crash bar off the frame mounts to make the install so much easier by yourself.
The fit and finish of this hitch is great. Install took me just over 2 hours. My son helped the 2nd hour, after the bumper was disassembled. By far the hardest part is unhooking and then reconnecting the wire harness and electrical connectors. After getting the hitch installed, and the bumper close out panel on, I absolutely could not get the license plate light connecters hooked up. I had to again remove the close out panel, then pop out the license plate lights then hook up the connectors. Kind of pain, but thats not the hitches fault. If you need a hitch this is a good one, just keep in mind the wire harness and connectors take the most amount of time. I'm very happy with the hitch and with eTrailer. Great price, fast shipping, awesome installation videos, no complaints!
Went on easy and fits perfectly

Where are you headed to with your bikes, Justin??
Very nice hitch for a very good price from Etrailer.com. They ship free and fast!
Looks nice with Thule bike rack!
My 4th Receiver Hitch I have ordered from etrailer, and will continue to do so whenever needed. Packaging is always perfect, Shipping is always faster than advertised, and the Videos are always helpful. Thank you!
Perfect fit to my 2021 corolla xse hatch! The only thing the video is missing is how to remove clips to get to the plastic rear bumper panel that are on the left and right side that hides the four screws that need to be unscrewed. And also how to unclick the two wires attached to the black bumper cover. But over all everything is great!
Install was extremely easy and took no time at all(20mins). Not only that, the part quality and fitment was spot on. This is the second trailer hitch I’ve purchased from them and both of them work great! 22 Corolla Hatchback and a 2003 Subaru WRX. Pictures down below!!
Hitch fits great
This kit was super easy to install on my 2019 Corolla hatchback. Only advice I can offer is remove the bumper hardware with handtools. I snapped a bolt off with my impact wrench. Othewise, this took me 20 minutes to install and fit well. I used the etrailer video for assistance in removing the bumper cover and found it extremely helpful. I have been towing a 5x8 trailer and it has worked flawlessly.
Arrived super quick very easy to install, and fit was dead on. Literally, can be installed without professional. I’m happy with my purchase order.
Great fit and easy to install
Fit my 2019 Corolla Hatchback perfectly. Looks OEM
Good service and transaction. Only complaint is that it said 1 day shipping and took 4 which cost me a lot of time to get it installed when I had it set up assuming the shipping was 1 or 2 days. Great step by step video.
Great fit and easy to install. The video helped so much, I appreciate yall taking the time to do that. I was skeptical at first because it looked too easy but it was a breeze. Took me less than an hour start to finish. I did not have to take the bottom part of the bumper off like the video suggested, just the license plate area. Would buy again if I needed to. Perfect for hauling my 4x6 trailer

Hauled a 7×9 trailer with no issues last week. Still secure and still worth every penny I spent. Reccoend getting the wiring kit as well.
Hitch arrived quickly and in perfect condition! Fit was perfect! Installation was a breeze! Videos are a great tool and prepared me for the job.

The Curt 1.25 receiver hitch has worked out great! No issues at all. I use it for my 2 bike yakima rack which works out perfect. I Have recommended it to others as well.

Went on really easy. I did need a second pair of hands when I bolted it on.

It’s been over a year now that I e put the hitch on my car and can say it has held up and looks exactly as it did the day I put it on. If I ever need another hitch for a new car I’m sticking with e-trailer. You can beat the price and quality and the videos they have of each install is great. I’ve never taken a bumper cover and then bumper off of a car before and they made it easy to do step by step. It would’ve been much easier for two people to put this on because you have to hold the hitch and bumper up while you put the bolts in but with a little more time I was able to do it myself.
