I will go ahead and give you the measurement for the 2 hitches that are a confirmed fit for your 2015 Toyota Corolla.

From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of your bumper will be as follows:

Curt # C11265 - 3 inches
Draw-Tite # 24913 - 2 inches

Since they all have 1-1/4 inch receivers it really just depends on what you are planning to use the hitch for when it comes to deciding which is best. They all have the same weight capacities and Class I restrictions. (see attached article for restrictions)

Keep in mind that the Curt receiver requires the use of a support strap # 18050 for all non-trailer loads per the Curt warranty.

I have attached videos of each hitch being installed on a similar 2015 Toyota Corolla for you to check out.

If you like the Euro style drawbar then I recommend using the Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar # C45571 with the Curt Hitch # C11265. You will need to measure the Rise and Drop to see if this drawbar option is the correct fit for you though. I have attached an article that explains how to choose a drawbar with the correct Rise or Drop. To finish up your towing setup you will also need some trailer wiring. i recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118405 because of how reliable Tekonsha electronics are. I have attached a video of this being installed on a 2009 Toyota Camry that you can use as a reference.
