Trailer Hitch for 2008 Honda Civic
Updated 06/18/2016 | Published 06/16/2016 >
Question:
I have a draw-tite trailer hitch assembly for an 01-05 honda civic and I wanted to know if it would fit on an 08 honda civic. Thank you for the help.

We do have hitches that will fit your 2008 Honda Civic. I'd recommend the Curt Class I # C11391.
I'm sorry to say that the hitch you have for a 7th generation Civic (2000-2005 model years) won't fit an 8th generation model (2005-2011). The primary reason is that the exhaust on the 8th gen vehicle sits in a different spot which would prevent a hitch from a 7th gen model from installing.
I've linked you to a video showing the hitch I recommended being installed on a 2008 Civic.
