The pictures on Curt trailer hitch # C11020 that you see are on a 2013 Smart fortwo so there are some differences in appearance between it and a 2015 model. But the hitch still fits the 2015 models as well so no worries! The only exclusions are for the Brabus models. There are no hitches for the Barbus models. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch.

Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050 when using this hitch for any non-trailer load (such as a bike rack or cargo carrier) per their warranty requirements.
