Is There a 2" Trailer Hitch Available for a 2021 Toyota Corolla Hatchback?

Question

Question:

Hi, I am looking for a hitch for my 2021 Corolla Hatchback that is a 2 inch receiver. From what I can find online they used to make one for the Toyota Cross that fit but I can’t seem to find it. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Hi Zachary,

I'm afraid there aren't any 2" hitch receivers on the market for the 2021 Toyota Corolla Hatchback. Only 1 1/4" Class I hitches like the Curt Trailer Hitch part # C11567, this is largely due to the tow capacity of the Corolla, which is only 200lbs of tongue weight or 2,000lbs tow capacity. Class II and III hitches with a 2" receiver are rated for far more than what the vehicle can handle and that tends to lead to people overloading the vehicle. If you're wanting to use an accessory that isn't offered in 1 1/4" you'll need to use an adapter like the Curt 1 1/4" to 2" Hitch Adapter part # C45785. However, using and adapter lowers the tongue weight/tow capacity of the hitch by 50%, which leaves you with a tongue weight of only 100lbs.

What are you wanting to use the trailer hitch for?

I was hoping to use it for a bike rack, but I know 100lbs is not enough for the rack plus two bikes.. was hoping there was a 2” hitch from another car that might fit, I had read online that the hitch from a Toyota CHR fits if you cut the bumper but didn’t have any luck finding those hitches either…

@ZacharyB Unless it has the same frame as the 2021 Corolla I can't confirm a hitch for a CHR would fit without modification that could include drilling in the frame and cutting the bumper. They make bike racks for 1 1/4" hitches that are capable of carrying a good amount of weight. You could definitely get one to use a Class I hitch, like the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 2 Bikes Part # HLY94FR. The rack itself only weighs 20lbs and it can hold two bikes that weigh 35lbs each, which at max weight would still leave you with 110lbs of tongue weight unused.

I just installed the Curt 1 1/4" hitch on my 2026 Corolla Hatch. I would have preferred a 2" version of the hitch because I already have a luggage platform (that has a bike rack of my own design). Alas, no 2" version is available probably due to the limited tow capacity of the Corolla. I acquired a 1 1/4" luggage platform and I'll use it for gear/bikes.

@Dave I wish a 2" option was available too! Thankfully there seem to be more options for accessories for 1 1/4" hitches coming out lately so that the hitch can still be used without an adapter.

Hey Tim, this is a really great question as the RockyMounts HighNoon part #RKY87RR and the Monorail part #RKY10007 are both very similar. To the point I almost don't see why they have both available at first glance. But anyway the Monorail has a…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

You bet, Alan. That’s exactly the kind of versatility the Yakima SkyBox NX Skinny Rooftop Cargo Box (Black Carbonite) #Y93QD is designed for. Since its only 26-1/2inch wide, it leaves enough room on most standard crossbars like a 54inch or 60inch bar…
