Perfect for my Honda Fit as it has a low carriage, the Euro shape gave me a few extra inches to tow a small trailer across the country from Oregon to North Carolina with no issues.



by:

Love this hitch. It looks and fits my Optima perfectly. I was really pleased to find a modern looking hitch to fit on my car. Very strong, solid construction. I don't plan to pull a large trailer with my car but this will work perfectly for my utility trailer. Very friendly and helpful customer service and it was delivered faster than I hoped for. Extremely pleased. Thanks...



by:

I dig the sleekness of the euro style ball mount. Works great.



by:

This trailer drawbar with the ball was just the right height and extension for the trailer. I am glad I got the one piece drawbar it is easy to store in the compartment with the spare tire. It is very tight when you first get it so you will need to tap it in out a few times with some spray lube to loosen it up. After that, it goes in and out by hand easily. It does come with the pin.

After a year of using the trailer drawbar wball on several trips, including a 2,600 mile trip, it is working great. Have not had any issues with it. I dont leave it in when not using it so it still slides in and out easily.



by:

This is a great trailer hitch ball. I like the way it projects out from the car and sits up a bit. It is easy to attach and remove (I don't leave it on the car all the time, just when pulling a trailer).



by:

It arrived in perfect condition and was exactly what I’d hoped for… except: I had expected it to include a retaining pin and clevis pin. Fortunately I had those missing pieces from a previous purchase.



by:

The Euro style ball really isn’t a good fit for European bike rack. Very loose so the rack sways as you travel down the autobahns,

While hitch accessories like ball mounts are designed to be snug inside the receiver sometimes they can be a little loose. It could be that the ball mount specs are a little small or that the hitch receiver opening is a little bigger. We recommending using an anti-rattle device such as part # RM-061-125 to help minimize movement of the ball mount.

beautiful shape ;)

It's easy to use , to put on and off.

WHEN I ORIGINALLY INSTALLED MY HITCH ON MY CX3 AWD I HAD THIS EUROPEAN BALL. I KEPT IT WHERE MY SPARE TIRE RESIDES. I TOOK MY CX3 IN FOR MY FIRST SERVICE AT MAZDA. THE SERVICE INCLUDED WHEEL ROTATION. I HAD THE WHEEL LOCK KEY IN MY SPARE TIRE AREA. IT'S BEEN ABOUT A MONTH, AND MY NEED TO USE MY TRAILER AROSE AND TO MY SURPRISE THE BALL WAS GONE. I RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE TO REMOVE YOUR BALL WHEN GETTING SERVICE. IT IS UNIQUE IN IT'S DESIGN WHICH I GUESS MAKES IT DESIREABLE TO THIEVES. THIS BALL IS A REPLACEMENT AND WORKS GREAT AS DID THE OTHER ONE. I AM GOING TO WRITE THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND WHILE I AM NOT ACCUSING THEM DIRECTLY, I AM MAKING THEM AWARE OF THE SITUATION. THIS IS TO PROTECT OTHER FOLKS WHO MAY EXPERIENCE MISSING ITEMS. I FEEL THAT IF I DO NOT INFORM THEM OF THIS, THEN I AM PART OF THE PROBLEM.



by:

Have I actually used the hitch and draw bar much in the past year? Not really, but when I do, I have complete confidence in the hardware and the wiring supplied by etrailer.com.



by:

I ordered both a Curtis trailer hitch and a Curtis drawbar from etrailer. The hitch I had shipped directly to my mechanic who reported that the fit was perfect and the installation very straight forward. The drawbar was shipped to my house promptly and although I haven't used it yet I forsee no problems.



by:

This review is really on the outstanding customer service provided by etrailer.com. This is he first time I have ordered from them and was very impressed. I ordered a hitch for my car. Placed the order Saturday night and by Tuesday it was delivered.



by:

Outstanding product and I couldn't be happier with the trailer hitch assembly! It installed exactly as advertised and at 60 years old I found it easy!



by:

Order was shipped promptly and correct. Products were exactly as described. I will use etrailer again in the future.



by:

Nice product, would rather use this compared to a traditional ball mount and ball. Looks sleek, has more clearance, uses a solid shank, and I'm less likely to hit a shin, because I wrapped the shaft in foam pad.



by:

Product is very sturdy, and exactly as advertised. Worked with the trailer receiver I purchased on etrailer. No issues.



by:

great fit just what I needed good solid hitch thank you for shipping to APO address



by:

Great product, just what i needed for my Subaru Outback , the 4-5/8" rise was just right to level my trailer. Thank you ! E trailer, Good doing business with you !



by:

Works just fine. No problems. Almost perfect height when attaching a small 5X8 trailer to an Mazda MPV.



by:

Have not installed as of yet but etrailer.com was fast on delivery even in difficult times, I will shop here again.



by:

Worked well, raised trailer tongue just right



by:

Ball size is 1 7/8 and works well. Did not come with pin. No Complaints. Perfect high for my ford fiesta.



by:

Good quality products, great instructions and details on how to use/install them and everything worked exactly as it should have.

Did not work for my application but is great quality

  • Would Curt Hitch C11773 Fit a 2002 Acura MDX with Single Exhaust
    The Curt hitch part # C11773 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2002 Acura MDX and has no fit exclusions for versions of your vehicle based on exhaust style so it would fit and work well for you. For a 1,000 lb jetski and trailer this hitch would fit and work well. You really wouldn't need the additional capacity that a 2 inch hitch would provide so this would work well. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118336 which is a confirmed fit as well. For a ball mount the...

  • Do Trailer Hitches for 2016 Honda Accord Sedan Require Trimming of Lower Fascia
    For your 2016 Honda Accord there are only trailer hitches available like the Curt hitch part # C11681 which do require trimming or modifying the lower fascia. I attached an install video for more info for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # C56299 which is also a confirmed fit. For a 2 inch ball ball-mount you would want the part # C45572 or for 1-7/8 inches you would want the part # C45571.

  • Recommended Ball Mount for Trailer That Is Further From My Vehilce
    Good news, I can help. What you will want to do is get a different ball mount. The current ball mount that you have # C45571 has a length of 7-1/4" from center of hitch pin hole to center of ball hole and a rise of 2-5/8" (from top of inside of hitch opening to start of vertical curve). It also has a 1-7/8" ball. I recommend getting the 9-1/4" long # C45520 ball mount and 1-7/8" # C40001 ball. This ball mount setups will give you the clearance from the bumper you need to tow your trailer...

  • What is the Weight of the Curt Trailer Hitch 12343
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12343 has a shipping weight of 24-lbs; about 1-1/2 to 2-lbs of that is going to be the packaging. This hitch does come with all of the hardware needed to install your hitch. If you're going to be towing with this hitch, you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. For the wiring I recommend using the Tekonsha # 118405 because I've found that the Tekonsha harness converter boxes are a bit more reliable over time. For the hitch ball I...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI
    For your 2016 Volkswagen Golf GTI I recommend Curt trailer hitch # C11412. This is a Class I trailer hitch rated for 200 pounds tongue weight and 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum on a Class I hitch. Curt also says you have to use stabilization strap # 18050...

    Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11200, is a confirmed fit for the 2013 Lexus CT200h. You will want to check the owner's manual for your specific vehicle before adding a trailer hitch and any accessories. If you want a hitch bike rack, we have a few dozen class I-compatible racks to choose from, click the provided link to see them.

  • Which Euro-Style Ballmount for Draw-Tite 24890 Installed on 2016 Dodge Dart
    The Curt Euro Style Ball Mount, part # C45571 will work just fine in a Class I hitch like the Draw-Tite # 24890 that you'd looked at. Since you'll be towing, you'll also want to pick up a trailer wiring harness, part # C56179 and a hitch pin like # PC2. I'll link you to an installation video for the hitch.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2016 Hyundai Veloster
    The Curt Trailer hitch part # C11254 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Hyundai Veloster and has the towing capacities of 1,000 lbs total trailer weight and 100 lbs tongue weight. That means a trailer that you want to tow would need to be pretty lightweight. You also would need to check the owners manual of your vehicle for the same capacities and be sure to stay under the lowest rated component in your setup.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For Trailer Towing With a 2008 VW GTI
    I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11074 for your 2008 Volkswagen GTI. I checked with Draw-Tite, EcoHitch and Stealth as they make the hidden receivers and none of them have anything to fit your GTI. The Curt does have a small 1-1/4" receiver that will keep the receiver up tight against your rear fascia and have the least impact on ground clearance. The receiver itself is rated to tow up to 2,000lbs with a 200lb tongue weight rating. Curt recommends their 2" Euro Ball Mount...

  • Trailer Hitch Fit for a 2012 BMW 328ix Wagon
    We have had several customers come back and say they were able to install the Curt Hitch part # C11367 on their 2012 BMW 328ix Wagon so we can safely say it will fit. For trailer wiring you would then want the zero contact wiring harness part # 119250KIT which is a confirmed fit and doesn't' require any hardwiring. For a 1-7/8 inch ball mount you would want part # C45571 or for a 2 inch ball part # C45572.

    You have two options of a hitch for your 2017 Hyundai Sonata, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11402 and the Draw-Tite Sportframe, # 24965. I prefer the Curt option that is assembled in the USA and noted for having a superior powder coating. Each of these options have the same specs of being a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. They are rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. and a maximum tongue weight of 200 lbs. Meaning that the vertical load on these hitch options...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Honda Accord Coupe
    The Curt hitch part # C11681 is the most popular hitch we offer for your 2014 Honda Accord and only requires you trim the heat shield as far as permanent modifications go. There wouldn't be any drilling or rear bumper trimming. The exhaust does have to be temporarily lowered but that is pretty standard for trailer hitch installs.

  • Will Curt Hitch C11555 for a 2016 Honda CR-V Tow a Small Trailer
    If the trailer weighs less than 2,000 lbs the Curt hitch part # C11555 that you referenced would be capable of towing it. This hitch has a 2,000 lb total trailer capacity and 200 lb tongue weight capacity. To complete your towing setup you would want the part # C45572 for a ball mount with a 2 inch ball or part # C45571 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball. For trailer wiring you would then want the Curt Harness part # C56158. I attached an install video for this plus one for the hitch as well.

    I personally have not seen anyone using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12115 on a 2011 Buick Regal for carrying a power scooter. The Curt receiver being a class 2 only has a 1-1/4" receiver and most of the wheelchair/scooter carriers like the 29x49 Cargo Carrier w/ 60" Ramp # FHG69ZR require a 2" receiver. While there are adapters like # 80303 that will allow for you to use a 2" hitch accessory on a 1-1/4" receiver, they will reduce the capacity by 50%. That would bring the Curt receiver...

  • Can Curt Euro Style Ball Mounts be Used in a Draw-Tite Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2016 Honda HR-V
    Curt used to put a stop in the shank behind the hitch pin hole to prevent the use of Class II accessories (which the Curt Euro ball mounts are). Curt hitch # C11416 for your 2016 HR-V does not have that stop but double check your hitch to make sure it isn't present. If not then you can use a Curt Euro ball mount! For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # C45571. For a 2 inch ball use # C45572.

So you have to use the part # C45521 which is what Curt recommends. It has a 2-5/8 inch drop and 3-1/4 inch rise.

    The recommended 2 inch Euro style ball mount for Curt trailer hitch # C11352 on a 2015 Nissan Altima is # C45572. I went out to the warehouse and pulled one to take some measurements. From the center of the pin hole to the part of the shank where it starts to bend up is 3 inches. This will work because the rear bumper on the Altima tapers upward above the hitch receiver. At 6-1/2 inches out from the center of the hitch pin hole, where the shank starts to bend straight up, it is at a height...
