Best Value Trailer Hitch for 2019 Tesla Model 3 to Carry Bike Rack

Updated 05/31/2020 | Published 04/28/2020

Question:

Hi there I’m looking for an inexpensive way of hauling bikes using my existing hitch bike rack. While my previous CRV hitch installation cost me $200 all in, options for a model 3 seem double or triple of that until I found this curt. One of the hesitation on purchasing it is that I didn’t see any installation video or review for the product. Do you happen to have installation video for the 2” version or some detailed pictures for it? I wanted to know if I need to cut the bottom in addition to the existing underbody opening for 2019 model 3 or not. Thanks a lot!

The Curt 2-inch trailer hitch part # C45FR is a fit for your 2019 Tesla Model 3 and is by far the best value hitch option out there. It's a new fit at this time (April 2020) so we don't have much feedback on it or an install video.

I did attach an install instructions link that is very detailed and will walk you through the process of the install as well.

You will have to cut a small hole in the lower fascia panel for the hitch opening to fit through which I attached a picture of.
