Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2009 Honda Civic Coupe Si

Question

Question:

Hi there I was looking to make sure I get the proper parts so I may trailer this Stinger motorcycle trailer. I have 17 inch tires if that helps. Just want to make sure I order the right parts so I can get this trailer hooked up properly. Thanks!

We can set you up with everything you would need to tow a trailer with your 2009 Honda Civic SI coupe, but it will be up to you to determine if your vehicle has the capacity to tow what you are wanting to tow. You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle.

For a hitch the Curt part # C11391 would be a great choice as it is a confirmed fit. This hitch has towing capacities of 2,000 lbs total trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well. You will need the recommended ball mount, part #3593.

For a hitch ball you would want the part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.

For trailer wiring you would then want the # C56051 which is a custom fit wiring harness for your vehicle.
