We have the perfect trailer hitch that will fit your 2007 Toyota Matrix!

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12013 has a shipping weight of 18 pounds. The hitch has a bolt-on installation with no welding required. It has a gloss black powder coat finish that is over a protective base coat that offers superior rust resistance.

The trailer hitch has a maximum gross trailer weight up to 2,500 pounds and has a maximum tongue weight up to 250 pounds. I would recommend checking your vehicle's manual to find out the proper towing capacity of your vehicle.

The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118386 will give you a 4-flat trailer connector that will make it to where your trailer's stop, turn, and taillights will mirror your vehicle's stop, turn, and taillights. The harness will plug into your vehicle's wiring harness, which is located behind the driver's-side and passenger's-side interior trim panels in your rear cargo carrier.

You will also need The Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4 inch Hitch # 3593 and The 2 inch ball # 19258 or the 1-7/8 inch ball # 19256.

I went out to the warehouse and examined the Curt Hitch #12221 and #C12013. While they are similar, there is a key difference in the designs. From the top of the mounting brackets on each side of the hitch down to the bottom of the receiver, hitch…

Answer 3

Curt trailer hitch #C12221 would be a good option as long as your 2005 Toyota Matrix is not an XR or XRS model. If it is an XR or XRS model then #C12013 would be the best option for a Curt hitch. These are both Class II hitches which means you have…

If you use Draw-Tite trailer hitch #24812 the center fascia (which is a fancy word for the lower plastic bumper part on your 2003 Toyota Matrix XR) will not have to be removed. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. There is…

The only trimming or modification required is if your 2008 Toyota Matrix is an XR or XRS model. The installation instructions for Curt Trailer Hitch, #12221, linked below, state that if you do have an XR or XRS model, the lower valance MAY require…

You are definitely on the right track when it comes to not wanting to use an adapter for your bike rack. The only trailer hitches that are a confirmed fit for your 2004 Toyota Matrix have 1-1/4" receivers but if you let me know what bike rack…

Answer 8

All the hitches available for the Toyota Matrix are either Class I or II which use a 1-1/4 inch receiver tube. This being said, there's still options available that might work for you. For the best capacity, I'd recommend the Curt Class II…

Answer 10

Hi Bernie, There is a Curt hitch for the 2003 Toyota Matrix XR, which is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver #C12013. This is as high as a hitch can get on your Matrix XR, and it'll be right up against that lower fascia like you had previously.

I spoke with my contact at Curt and the measurement from where the hitch mounts to the frame down to the top of the receiver is 6.69 inches on Curt trailer hitch #C12013. From the top of the receiver to the bottom is 1-3/4 inches. I have included a…
