Comparing Trailer Hitch Aesthetic for 2014 Toyota Camry
Question:
I am looking for the least visible hitch for my 2014 Camry. I see the model at your site but you still see the entire cross bar. Is ther any available that you would only see the receiver tube.

Expert Reply:
The trailer hitches available for your 2014 Toyota Camry all have essentially the same design, they will hang down from the frame and a crosstube will run behind the hitch receiver from one bracket to the other.
I have measured these hitches in the past and found that the Curt # C12107 hangs down a little more than 1/2 inch further than the Draw-Tite # 36540. Another thing to consider when choosing a hitch, is that the Curt hitch has a round crosstube, while the Draw-Tite has a square crosstube. Some people prefer one look or the other.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the Curt hitch will require the use of a stabilization strap, # 18050, when carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier. This is in order to comply with Curt's warranty on the hitch.
I've attached a photo for you showing the installation of the Curt hitch and the Draw-Tite hitch so you can compare the installation looks. I've also linked the installation instructions for these trailer hitches, and an installation video of the Curt hitch on a similar Camry as yours.
