Perfect fit. Easy install..

Easy to install and fits well. I like the look, however my product came with quite a few significant scratches. Yes I know it’s a hitch and will get beat up, but I would have liked to receive what looks like a new product.



by:

The tow hitch fit like glove, excellent weld dimensioning, easy install. Thanks



by:

The fit was excellent The only problem I had was getting to the bolts the muffler was in the way



by:

Easy install with only one person. Took about an hour by myself. If I had an extra set of hands, it would have taken 20 mins. They say difficulty is 3 out of 10, I'd say it's q.5 out of 10.



by:

Shipping was good received in about 4 to 5 days. Does fit the trail edition outlander sport just have to drop an extra part out of the way. Maybe 4 wheel drive box?. It's on the driver's side. Install driver's side 1st it will save alot of headache.



by:

Excellent!! Easy to install, you can feel the quality!! It took me barely an hour to install it on my own. I put the 17mm screws first to hold it up and then I put the 19mm. I had enough space to run my hands along the side of the canister without having to remove it. The only thing that took a little work was to clean the threads of the chassis, a 12x1.25 tap would have been better. I cleaned the threads with the old screw and WD40. Everything else was excellent!! Soon I'll install the bike rack to start enjoying it. 100% recommended

Excellent! Easy to install. Took me and my brohter about 20 minutes to get it installed. Love it! Highly recommend. Customer service was great. Kept in touch until delivery. Great product great site!



by:

Hitch looks great and performs as expected. Installation was a breeze. Bike rack fit perfectly and I was out the door.



by:
2012 Mitsubishi Outlander

Instructions where very good and clear. I was able to bolt up the hitch quickly (less than 30 min) and very easily. I would suggest a second set of hands just to guide it into place a little easier.

The use of the round bar makes it look "stock" and it blends in very nicely.

Used on 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport.

P.S. I am not using for towing, just a cargo carrier and maybe a bike rack.

This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It is custom fit and comes with all necessary hardware to complete the installation. What are you going to be using the hitch for?

  • Will Curt/Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Trail Edition
    Hi John; at this time (11/25/2024) the note still stands for the Trail Edition. You're welcome to try installing the # C13079 on your 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Trail Edition but we can't confirm it will fit. The only way for us to know is if the manufacturer tests and confirms it, if we get one in to attempt an installation ourselves, or if we get confirmation from a customer who successfully installs it.

  • How to Tell if I Have a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander or Outlander Sport
    Hey John, thanks for reaching out! If you check on the back of your 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander it will say "Sport" under the "Outlander" tagging on the back of the vehicle (see attached photo). For a standard model we have the Class III Curt # 13581, but if you have the Sport model then you'll need the Curt Class III # C13079 instead. Let me know what you plan on using the hitch for and I can make additional recommendations as necessary!

  • Recommended Wiring Harness for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
    The correct wiring harness for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C37NR. This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your Outlander's wiring harness, which is located behind your tail lights. It will provide you with a 4-way connector that will control your trailer or accessories lighting functions. I recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it...

  • Install Video for etrailer Hitch that Fits 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
    Hey Will, check out the install video I attached on this page. It shows the Curt hitch part # C13079 installed on a similar 2020 Outlander Sport to your 2021 model. This hitch is actually the exact same as the etrailer hitch # e63AR so the install process would be exact same.

  • Best Hitch for a 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
    Yes, we do have a trailer hitch for your 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. It is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13079. This hitch is custom fit and bolts directly to your Mitsubishi with included hardware. For a wiring harness that allows you to control your trailer or accessories lighting functions I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # TK67VR. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is...

  • Will The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C87WR Fit 2022 Outlander, Outlander Sport and Outlander PHEV
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C87WR will fit all trim levels of the 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander. Since The Outlander Sport and Outlander PHEV are different models this receiver will not work on those vehicles. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13398 is the last hitch we have confirmed to fit the Outlander PHEV and it fits the 2018-2020 model years. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13079 is the last hitch we have confirmed to fit the Outlander Sport. It fits the 2011-2021 model years.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport?
    Yes, I can! To add a hitch to your 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, I recommend the etrailer item # e63AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Outlander with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver so it'll be great for towing, bike racks, and cargo carriers. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C37NR and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
    In addition to the Curt trailer hitch you have selected for your 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport you will need a wiring harness, ball mount, ball, and a hitch pin with a clip. For a trailer wiring harness I recommend # 118538. It does work with the LED lights on your Outlander Sport so that will not be a problem! I have included a link to a video review of this harness for you. For a ball mount I recommend # C45030. For a 1-7/8 inch ball I recommend # 19260, for a 2 inch ball I recommend...

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
    Good news! I was able to look up in your owners manual your vehicle's capacities. Your gross vehicle weight rating is 4,343lbs, your vehicle capacity weight is 827lbs and your maximum roof capacity is 176lbs. You can also look at the sticker in the driver's side front door jam. The sticker should list the GCWR, gross combined weight rating which represents the max weight of the tow vehicle + the trailer. If you subtract the weight of the vehicle (curb weight plus weight of passengers...

    I have both class II and class III trailer hitch options for a 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12048 for class II and part # C13079 for class III are what I recommend as they are both great bolt-on options assembled here in the USA. In order to complete your towing setup you'll need the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter part # C59236 for models without LEDs or part # C56127 for models with and the etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989899.

  • Will Curt C13079 Trailer Hitch for Mitsubishi Outlander Sport 2012 Interfere w/ Spart Tire
    Great question. Some hitch installs can interfere with the spare tire, but this isn't the case with your vehicle. The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport has the spare tire stored in a compartment under the floor of the cargo area, so it will not interfere with the installation of a trailer hitch. I've provided a photo of the underside of the vehicle with the hitch installed. I've linked you to an installation video that'll show you exactly where the hitch sits under the vehicle.

  • Does Tow Hook Have To Be Removed For All Trailer Hitches On 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
    I did some research and found that all of the trailer hitches we offer for your 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport require the removal of the tow loop. I recommend the Curt trailer Hitch, part # C13079. This is a Class lll hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. One note from Curt is that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps, like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from...

    Yes, we do have the Curt hitch part # C13079 that is a confirmed fit for your 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and bolts on for install without requiring drilling. If you need trailer wiring too you'd want the Teksonsha kit part # TK67VR which installs easily without splicing and is very reliable.

  • Using a 2 Inch Bike Rack on a 2017 Buick Encore with 1-1/4 Inch Trailer Hitch
    Like you said there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches for your 2017 Buick Encore. In fact, there is only one available for your Encore. You could use Curt hitch # C11527 with adapter # HTAD to use a 2 inch bike rack. However, the use of the adapter reduces the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch from 200 pounds down to 100 pounds. The Q Slot PS63138 weighs about 65 pounds meaning you will only have 35 pounds of capacity left over. As long as the combined weight of the bikes is less...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
    Yes, the Curt hitch part # C13079 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and would work well as it's a 2 inch hitch with plenty of towing capacity. If you have LED taillights the trailer wiring kit you need is the part # 118538. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch...

    Yes, it does! The Curt Hitch item # C13079 has been confirmed to fit the 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver so it'll be great for towing, bike racks, and cargo carriers. It has a 3,500 lbs towing capacity and a 350 lbs maximum tongue weight.

  • Recommended Hitch for 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander
    I have a solution for you, but the Curt # C13079 is only a confirmed fit on the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport models. Instead, you'll want to use the Curt # C13163, which is confirmed for the Outlander (non-Sport and non- Plug-in Hybrid vehicles). This is also a Class III hitch like the C13079 and will offer you the same no-drill installation. If you're going to be towing with your new hitch, you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball to round out a complete towing package....

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack for 4 Bikes for a 2018 Mitsubishi RVR
    I will be happy to help. For your 2018 Mitsubishi RVR I recommend etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e63AR. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver so it will be great for a bike rack and 4 bikes. You will not have to use a stabilization strap with this hitch. For a bike rack there are basically 2 major styles: hanging and platform. A hanging bike rack holds the bikes by the frame where they will "hang" from the rack arm(s). Platform style racks hold the bikes at the wheels and...

  • Correct Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander
    The correct Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander is part # C13163 or part # C13079 if you have a sport model. The rear bumper fascia and exhaust are different on the sport models which is why there is a different trailer hitch for each. I have attached an install video on a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport for reference. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers are both bolt-on options.

Per Curt, all non-trailer loads (bike racks, cargo carriers, etc) must be supported by stabilizing straps, such as part # 18050. For that reason I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e63AR.

  • Does the Exhaust of a 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander GT Have to Come Off to Install Trailer Hitch
    I have a solution for you, but the hitch you referenced is for the Outlander Sport models and would not be correct for your 2015 Outlander GT. The Curt hitch part # C13163 would be the correct fitting hitch. Dropping the exhaust is actually not as difficult as it sounds. It basically involves prying the rubber isolators off of the exhaust hangers and then allowing the exhaust to lower a few inches. It's not as scary as it sounds, I promise. I attached a video that details how to lower...
