Trailer Hitches for a 2017 Toyota Camry

There are trailer hitches for the 2017 Toyota Camry but I'm afraid # 13569 will never be one of them. It was designed specifically for the 2004 and 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor.

The available hitches for your Camry are # 36540 and # C12107. These are Class II hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. There are no 2 inch hitch options for the Camry so if you have 2 inch accessories such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you would need to use an adapter, # HTAD.

However, keep in mind that the use of an adapter will reduce the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50 percent from 300 or 350 pounds (depending on the hitch) to 150 or 175 pounds. That means the combined weight of the accessory and its cargo cannot exceed that reduced tongue weight.

Also, if you choose the Curt hitch, Curt 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.
