This Curt trailer hitch receiver is built for light-duty towing and everyday hauling. With a 3,500-lb gross trailer weight rating and 350-lb tongue weight limit, it’s ideal for small trailers, cargo carriers, or bike racks. The 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver opening gives you compatibility with a wide range of Class II towing accessories and mounts. Whether you’re pulling a small camper or adding extra storage on the back, it’s designed to handle those daily utility tasks without issue.
The hitch is made from fully welded steel with precision, robotic welding to ensure strength and accuracy fitment. It’s finished in a gloss black powder coat laid over a protective base coat for improved corrosion resistance. That layered finish keeps rust at bay and helps the round-tube design stay looking good through years of exposure to road grime and weather.
You won’t need to weld or rely on specialty tools to mount this hitch. It uses a bolt-on installation method designed for a custom fit to your vehicle’s frame, and it comes with the complete hardware kit and instructions you need to get started. Most DIYers can handle the install right in their driveway using standard tools, making it an approachable upgrade for anyone looking to add utility quickly.
The visible cross tube has a simple, rounded shape that looks tidy under the rear bumper without drawing attention. It gives you the utility of towing and cargo support without a bulky appearance. This design is a practical match for drivers who want extra hauling capability but still care about keeping their vehicle’s look clean and balanced.

The package arrived damaged. It looks like it was damaged during transit. But, the damage wasn't worth the hassle of sending it back.
The package was dropped hard enough that it bent my hitch. But with a little muscle, my son and I corrected it and installed it on our Camry.
We purchased this hitch for our 2012 Toyota Camry LE. Toyota does not recommend towing with this vehicle, nor sell a Toyota hitch for this car. I don't know why, the Europeans will tow a huge camper behind any 4 cylinder gas miser. However we use the hitch to mount our bicycle rack, and it has worked out great for this purpose. We had it professionally installed by our auto-body mechanic, because frankly I'm at the stage of life where I can afford to pay someone who has a lift, instead of me contorting my body like a pretzel to climb under there and proceed to scrape my knuckles, lay down tools out of reach and otherwise frustrate myself into yelling profanity within earshot of the neighbors little kids. However feedback from the mechanic states that in went in like apiece of cake except that he had to cut a bit of the heat shield to make it fit. So if you are coming back from a trip to the moon, remember, you have a little less heat shield for re-entry.
This is the third hitch I have purchased from e trailer and as always it is an excellent fit and hitch. The hitch is on a Camry and looks and works great. Mike
Looks great and works great.

Perfect fit. I like that it is mostly hidden as well.

Good sturdy hitch with good installation instructions that fits well.
Very easy to get it installed on our Toyota Camry Hybrid for not very much by our local mechanic.
I haven't even opened the box - this review is based solely on my past experience with the etrailer. Take it or leave it.
The review: I have never had the wrong parts shipped or the slightest problem with the etrailer on all my past orders. This is a Christmas present for someone else and I'm sure it will be perfect. Even if this wasn't "perfect," I have absolutely no doubt they (etrailer) would fix whatever might come up

Daughter-in-law has it installed on her Toyota and is working fine I’ve subsequently ordered a couple of more. The latest was on our 2016 Lexus RX 350 and it too “fit like a proverbial glove”-trailer light interface wiring also snapped in with no issues
I installed this on a 2013 Camry SE. It fit perfectly and it went on exactly like the instructions said. I'm above average when it comes to handyness and it took me an hour including clean up. I did it in my garage with the car up on jack stands. If you are looking for a hitch is recommended this one.

Its been a year since Ive installed this hitch. It still looks like new. I live in Wisconsin so its exposed to a lot of road salt in the winters and there is no rust.
The receiver fit great on my Avalon. I had it installed by my local mechanic at a very reasonable cost. Quick shipping and reasonable cost were appreciated.
Although the product it self is pretty well made, i am slightly disappointed in over all fitment of the trailer hitch. i am sure engineers have their reasons for the hitch hanging so low from the bumper.
install is fairly straight forward other then the need to widen the holes a little bit.
over its a good hitch i knew what i was buying i knew it would hang low.
good product nevertheless.
etrailer always makes it easy to buy.

After a full year of ownership I am still happy with my hitch although it is starting to chip and rust is coming through around the receiver hole.still cant get used to seeing how low it hangs and have scraped it a couple of times coming out of driveways.other then that its a great addition to a car, converts a camry into a pickup truck with a little 4x6 trailer.
Prompt delivery from etrailer. Quality well built trailer hitch. Provided instructions were pretty inadequate but watching the installation video on the website a couple times was all I needed to install this item. For my Camry it did involve some drilling as the video showed but was nothing super complicated. I am pretty mechanically inclined, and doing this installation all by myself took approx 4 or 4.5 hours from open box to cleanup. Very satisfied with this hitch and etrailer!

Works fine, no problems with anything. Tucks up nice under the bumper so its not sticking out. No problems with it scraping the ground as others have said. Solid and built well. Thanks etrailer!!!
The hitch was of industrial strength sadly unlike the enclosed instructions, which were weak at best. I have installed similar hitches on similar cars and getting this on a 2013 Camry V6 took 5 hours. Others have been a maximum of 2 hours. This includes the trip to Home Depot to get THE tool that you need that is not specified - a one inch metal hole saw that you WILL need in order to install this hitch. In summary, looks good, solid, needs better instructions. Do your own due diligence before you start on this and do NOT rely on the included instructions.
I should also mention that the plastic cover that the instructions say "give back to the customer" I did manage to get back on to the underside of the car with a bit of brute force and a couple fewer of the self tapping screws (bolts?) yet still is secure on the car after installation.

The product works fine. The only issue is that the cut back exhaust heat shield rattles occasionally.
All equipment was delivered on time. Hitch, wiring harness, receiver and ball. Watched video's on installation of harness and hitch. Went down to my garage and installed both with the help of my girlfriend. Very satisfied with the products and the installation. etrailer supplied the goods and the knowledge. I am very happy that I went this route.
Works great on my Camry. Very secure.
Fit just righ, no problems att all. Shipped very fast.
Fast service
Fairly easy to install. Took 1hr and 45 minutes to install. Don't need the instructions just watch the video provided by etrailer. It easier to use a 1 and 1/8 hole saw then the step bit.
Fast delivery and everything fit perfect. Easy installation after watching etrailers videos. Lowest price I found on the internet for this hitch. Thanks for the great service.
Great hitch, just no wiring harness available to make installation seamless.
I didn't cut off any underbody panel pieces. I just made a slit for the hitch to slide through. Also didn't cut off any heat shield. I drilled a hole for the 1/2" screw and torqued it to xx ftlb as instructed. Every thing worked fine. Hard to believe the video instructed to cut off that much. A bit crazy IMO. Also.. super snug fit. So snug I had trouble getting the M12 bolts to line up with the thread in the subframe. Pain the ass, but eventually got it in.
Item delivered quickly and was just as described. Perfect fit!
The build quality is excellent and well built. The tolerances are very tight, I had to wallow out one of the mounting holes slightly. It fits a 2014 Hybrid nicely. The hardest part was dealing with the muffler being in the way. I am glad I had a single exhaust design. Also, my vehicle did not have access to the frame to feed the bolt though. I had to use a dremel to open a larger area for the rear mounts. Took a couple hours and had a helper hold the muffler aside while trying to drill required holes. It wasn't the easiest to install so I only gave 4 stars. But the product itself is well made and I feel it will work well.
I invested four hours total putting the hitch on the car. One hour was prep and cleanup. Could do another in less than two hours easy. I decided to ramp up the rear of the car with boards rather than jack and jack stands since they are always in the way when you're working underneath. (See pic.) I had the wife help me twice when putting the hitch on, the rest was just me. With the right tools near anyone can do it. (I'm 74). Your video and instructions are excellent and so is your product.
Have to mention something that will put a smile on your face. The first thing to be done was to remove the two brackets on either side of the car. They are held in place with two 14mm bolts on either side but they are kind of tough to get at so I decided to remove the 17mm nuts instead since they were easier to get at. A 17mm wrench with a mallet wasn't enough to get the nuts off so I got a 1/2" breaker bar and with all the strength I could muster I finally got those stubborn SOB's to break loose. Only then did I think to take a closer look and sure enough they were welded on (as per your instructions). Luckily they were meant to stay off.

The 4 mounting holes that were drilled in the hitch by CURT, the Hitch manufacturer, did not line up with the 4 mounting hole that were drilled by Toyota on my camry which was purchased new and never in an accident. Even at the widest separation between the left-side and right-side holes the separation between the left-side and right-side holes were 1/8 of an inch too narrow. This required a lot of extra time and effort redrilling the holes on the hitch to make it fit.
5/5 stars for shipping and customer service. Everything arrived in perfect condition within 2 days of ordering and I had several follow up emails asking how everything was.
5/5 stars for the quality of the trailer hitch. I didn't have any issues with fitment, missing pieces, or cosmetic issues.
4/5 stars for the instructions. The pictures were in black and white which made it difficult to see specific details for installation. There were a few steps that I got tripped up on and had to reread when I was partially though that step because it wasn't that clear. I highly recommend that you use a step drill bit to make the holes for the carriage bolts and to buy a pair of exhaust hanger pliers to make the process both easier and faster.
Overall it's a great product backed by great customer service with some less than ideal instructions. It took me about 6-8 hours in total to install. Unfortunately I could only work on it 1 step at a time after work between several different evenings and after buying some tools needed for the job.

Thank you for the wonderful review Logan and the installation advice. Those instructions can be hard to follow sometimes but the install looks great. I can tell you put a lot of work into it! What next? Any big plans?

It is a great product. It is the second one I have purchased and it was as easy to install as the first one. If I change cars again I will buy from e-trailer.
