Question:

I noticed all the reviews seem to be for later model cars. Im wondering if the 2001 is different.

Expert Reply:

You're correct the reviews are for later models but the Curt trailer hitch receiver, part # C11289, does fit the 2001 Toyota Echo. It's a 1-1/4 inch, Class I trailer hitch that bolts on with no drilling. I've linked the install details for you to take a look at.

If you're going to be towing a trailer with your Echo you also need the recommended ball mount, part # C45521, with either a 2 inch hitch ball, part # A-82, or a 1-7/8 inch ball, part # A-80. Then use # F-4 for a pin and clip.

To power a trailer's lights use # 118386 for a wiring harness. It installs by plugging in behind both tail lights.

If instead of towing you'll be carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier on the hitch Curt requires a support strap, part # 18050, in order to be compliant with the hitch's warranty.
